Criticises Faulty Teaching.
Crticising college professors and other
men who teach that the founders OF the
republic did not believe in the common
people, Senator Borali declared that such
men are dangerous to the welfare of the
country. and should change their tactics
He said that the time in which George
town was founded, 125 years ago, was the
time OF men of vast foresight, moral brav-
cry and confidence in the rule of the many
instead of the few.
Senator Borah said that the people of
the United States have not outgrown the
Constitution, as some men would make the
public believe, but instead the people
have failed to discover the means for
utilizing the foundation of the govern
ment in its application to present-day
problems and economic conditions
What we need is a concrete remedy
for present inequalities. rather than new
institutions he continued 1--WE need
men as great as Washington and. Lincoln
and we need people with confidence that
in the end the wisdom of the public will
work out for the good of the entire
country"
John Carroll Is Praised.
John Carroll, founder of the university
was praised by Rev. A. j. Brosnan. who
declared that he was true patriot of
the stripe of George Washington and
others who stood by the young republic
in the days of its strife and troubles.
From the life of Father Carroll he drew
lessons of true patriotism which he urged
the young graduates of the university to
apply to their own lives and work.
