DIR. BramOn's Address.
The address of President M. Z
Brannon was to have been given this
morning following the addresses OF
the class orators when each of the
classes planted the ivy, was postponed
until the close of the pageant. DR..
Brannon's address was in part ac fol-
lows:
Some years ago when a dis
tinguished statesman from the
orient was being entertained in
the United States he suggested
that Americans should be taught
the art of leisure. This art does
not include frivolous waste of
time In consists of wise relaxa-
tion from the strain and burden
of grinding and long continued
toll. There Is ample place for
this art of leisure when it is made
to minister to innocent pleasure
and sane thinking.
1t is true that it must not be
the only art practiced if the COM
munity life is to progress as it
ought. With this idea Of balance
between work and play the U. Of
I. has dedicated one day in May
to the art of leisure this campus
day celebrated by pageant, dance
and play. The pageant is intend
ed to portray the inner working
life of the state university. You
have seen the institution in pic
tured story. We trust that the
display has both entertained and
instructed.
Another year 1t may seem wise
to let this day. dedicated to the
art of leisure, express itself by
uniting with you in some good
forceful work, some concerted
activities making for the beau
tification of our city and uni
versity place.
In any event it will not be a
case of idleness for the art of
leisure has no place for idleness.
It is concerned with a change of
action but does not allow for
stagnation.
Cadet Battalion Parade.
The afternoon program opened with
a dress parade by the cadet battalion
which lasted some 80 minutes. AS
the cadets marched about the campus
in their blue dress uniforms the
movie man" held his machine upon
the parade and it is a question
whether he or the cadets attracted the
most attention. During the parade
President Brannon presented COM
missions to the cadet officers, the
being accompanied by an
appropriate ceremony by the band l
While the two large companies stood t
It rest.
Crowds Assembled.
Between 1 and 2 o'clock the crowd T
,egan to assemble and long before q
he cadet parade had been conclud
d the campus was literally thronged v
With people. Every window on the h
