Graduation Exercises We're
Simple and Impressive.

Members of the Washburn college
class of 10 received their sheepskins
this morning.
Graduation exercises of the college
were held in the chapel and were at
tended by a large number of persons
friends of the graduates, members of
the under classes, ministers and the
college faculty.
The feature of the commencement
was the address delivered by Rev.
John B. Silcox, pastor of the West
minister Congres ational church of
Kansas City, Mo. DIR. Silcox spoke on
1.-THE Place and Power of Personality
in Moral Reform His address was a
strong one and was listened to with
great interest by the student body and
the class of 10.
DR.. Silcox pointed out that the
world is always advancing in every
line. Progress is the order of the
ages and history proves this, he
pointed out. He showed that the ad-
vances made by society have not
come from the combined efforts of
different organizations or bodies but
from the labor of man working alone.
The great inventions of the world
| have come from the minds of men
and are not the result of the efforts
of combinations either of brains or
money.
Hold High Ideals.
The speaker dwelt upon the duty
| of every right thinking person having
and keeping always in mind, the very
highest ideals. The minister contend
| ed that high ideals, right living and
hard work make for good citizenship
| and that the future of the nation de-
ponds upon the kind of people living
1 under the flag.
