Before the largest audience that ever

commencement exercises of a gradual

high school received their diplomas last
night and listened to words of admoni-
tion from the Rev. Carl Gregg Doney,
president OF Willamette university.
"The Elements of leadership" was
the subject chosen by Mr.. Doney. He
claimed that idealism was one Of the

Phillips in his fight for the freedom Of
the Negro to illustrate his point that
leader must be an idealist and also
referred to other leaders and their eff

There is nothing greater in politi
cal history than to study the influ

people demanded a man, it was because
the people believed the man had n con
science, citing the fact that today, the
people had confidence in Roosevelt
Hughes and Wilson, because each was
conscientious. "Conscience goes into
all things, and by it we are meas
