Charlottesville, Va. April 13-Founder's 8
Day at the University Of Virginia. one
realizes tonight, bids fair 20 become q
rival Of final day in its interest and in
the formanties with which il IS celebrated.
There are very few distinct holidays in
the university calendar. and Founders
Day can hardly be called a holiday; Vet.
from the events of to-day. it would seem
10 be the growing intention Of the presl-
dent, faculty. board Of visitors. students.
and alumni to give to this particular day
a unique and significant character.
But what IS Founders Day? This oues-
ton was frequently asked to-day during
the celebration. Even students at Vir-
ginia asked. some Of them innocentIy
supposing that it marks the anniversary
OF the founding OF the university. This
was a natural. but radical, mistake. un-
less We begin the University OF Virginia
with the birth of the man who was proud
TO call himself its father. But the uni
yersity was the child OF Jeferson's old
age. and was not actually opened to
students till the year 1S25. Jefferson. its
father and founder. was born in I7s3
april 2 old style-new style, April Is:
therefore this date. April Is. was cele-
Drated as FOUNDERS Day, the day Of
Jefferson's birth.
The two main features Of the Founders
Day celebration, so FAR as its historical
or intellectual phase is concerned con-
sisted of the address by the invited
orator. and the annual statement by The
president of the university.
The
Founders Day is one Of the three ocea-
sions during the year upon which the
faculty appear in academic costume. The
other two being convocation. early in
the session, and final day, when the de-
grees are conferred. The IandscaDe ana
architectural features at Virginia Iena
themselves most readily and effectively n
the proceedings.
The students to-day under their an
pointed marshals, assembled on the white
terraces that surround the red library
building known as the Rotunda. They
formed in procession according 70 de-
partments and then marched in q lone
double file down through the center Of
the great lawn straight toward the main
entrance Of Cabell Hall, the large build
ing al the south end of the lawn. in
which is the main auditorium.
While the students were forming their
ranks on the terraces outside the Ro-
tunda the faculty were inside similarly
engaged They, too, had their own
proper marshals and We're put in line

WORKING CLASS ARE
ACCORDED POOR SHOW
BY the Abominable Regime That
Control Matters in Porto
Rico.

ARDCIBO, Porto Rico, April g.
Great disgust is being expressed by
the working class of this island at
the fact that the Insular LEGISLATURE
has adjourned without adopting the
budget Of 1909-10, thus throwing
many people out of work and block
ing up business in general.
That the political ant1agonism exist
ing between the lower house and the
Executive Council is extreme is shown
by the deadly hate and spite ex-
pressed towards each other by the
American and Porto Rican legislators.
that is, between the bourgeois monop-
ol1sts of over there and Of here All
of them wish to control the political
power In order to satisfy their per-
sonal ambitions and continue the
abominable regime Of capitalist ex-
ploitation that is sucking our life's
blood away.
After defying the noble effort of
Governor Post to adjust the matter
amicably, the two commissions, one
representing the Executive Council
and the other the popular body, have
gone to Washington to lay their claim
before congress and the American
public.
The popular body, composed en-
tirely of Unionists, wanted to adopt
some economic reforms advocated by
Governor Post which would have con-
sfderably reduced the general budget.
The Executive Council would not
stand for this, so no budget at all was
voted.
On the other hand, however, when
bill calculated to enlighten the bur
dens of the workers was introduced,
both legislative bodies united to kill
1t without mercy, thus showing with
what disdain they looked upon the
efforts of the working class to- better
its condition. Like all members Of the
ruling class these legislators care for
nothing but the welfare of capital.
