two presidents-if by nothing else.
Diplomas Are Presented.
After a beautiful vocal solo by
Madame Sigrid Lunde Souther with
Mrs. Emil C. Wilm at the piano,
President Sanders arose followed by
Dean Frank Lee of the Biblical de-
partment of the college who called
who had completed the courses of
study under him and they were pre-
sented with their diplomas by DR..
Sanders. They were followed by the
graduates from the school of fine arts
and they were given the privilege of
shifting their tassels from the right
side of their caps to the left side.
Then the graduates from the liberal
arts school were called to the plat
form in series and so on through the
list of graduates. Each sextette re-
ceiving their diplomas were greeted
with cheers and handclapping from
the general student body assembled
in the auditorium below The grad
yates in the school of medicine re-
ceived their diplomas April 26 and
they were not included in the
presentation today. In all there were
80 graduates from Washburn this
year. Two men took their masters
degree, Mr.. John H. Dadisman
master of arts and Mr. Edward w.
Brown, master of science.
Reception 1h1S Evening.
The reception given by President
and Mrs. Sanders at the White
House. this evening will close the
week of events formally. Washburn
has closed a year of which the col
lege and the city is proud. Two new
buildings have been added to the
equipment. Three new instructors
have augmented the teaching force.
The endowment has been increased
thousands of dollars, the student body
has increased in numbers until there
is hardly room to accomm odate them.
The laboratories and libraries both
general and private among the col
lege and the professors have grown to
great proportions DR.. Fisk, head of
the department of sociology has add
ed hundreds of dollars of books to his
department alone. A number of the
other instructors have added to their
libraries Last but not least Wash
burn has obtained a president who is
liberal in his views, a great friend of
the student, a man of national and
international fame and a man who
will put his whole time, heart and
soul into the welfare and the upbuild-
ing of Washburn college.
Washburn is poised upon wave of
uncertainty-is it a college or uni
versity. In his talk to the students
yesterday DR.. Sanders stated that
Washburn must either be a university
the combination of schools or else she
should be college by eliminating all
but the liberal arts courses However
as President Sanders said-Washburn
will never call herself university un-
til she can be proud of the name
There are many schools in Kansas
with the university attachment
which are many times inferior to
Washburn in every respect
The year of 190s-9 has been one of
l. (fl-1& r6If
as faculty and trustees. There has
been peace and harmony during the
whole wear. College life has never
been so interesting and valuable to
the students. 1t is with deep regret
that the college closes its doors for
the long summer Vacation-but moth
ing lasts forever.
