33 GRADUATE AT UNIVERSITY.
This Years Graduating Class is Larger
Than Total Attendance in Recent
Years.


This week marked the commencement
exercises at the University of Mime
sofa which brought the school year to
a close. The number of Jewish women
and men graduating with the class of
1917 reflects the great growth of Jewish
centers in this state. 1t is not SO many
years ago that there were only six or
ten Jews in the whole University. This
year thirty three Jewish students are re-
ceiving their degrees-26 men and z
women. A study of the roster discloses
some interesting and instructive details.
Very few Jewish men go in for purely
academic work except as preparation for
a profession. The women are found ex-
clusively in the Academic and Education
Colleges. There are no Jews graduating
from the School of Agriculture. Every
other college is represented excepting
Architecture, though in other years that
college has graduated Jews, who have
distinguished themselves by architectural
work of great merit and have proved
themselves real artists. The professional
colleges are the great drawing card
for our Jewish men, the Dental College
being the most popular. The roster will
also disclose that the Jewish students
have distinguished themselves in the
field of scholarship, but it must be noted
that so far they have not taken any con-
siderable part in the University life as
a whole. A good many factors account
for this latter fact, which can not be con-
sidered just now. Jews have also held
very few elective offices. The list of
the 1917 graduates is as follows:
Home Economics: Isabel Birnberg,
St. Paul; Marcella Monasch, Minneapolis
Medicine: Morse j. Shapiro, Mime
apolis.
Dentistry: Jacob V. Birnberg,
Michael J. Cohler, St. Paul; Abe
Borovsky, Hymen A. Diamond, Ephraim
F. FREEZER, Daniel E. Ziskin, Harry L.
Weisman, Minneapolis.
Pharmacy: David P. Gottlieb, St.
Paul; Abraham Strimling, William
Strimling, Joseph P. Sugarman, Mime
apolis.
Chemistry: Aaron Domovsky, New
York City; Goodman Joselowitz, Mime
apolis; Leo E. Kesselman, Siberia; Ben
jamin Markus, Keewatin.
Academic: Lena Bank, Leah London,
Louis Goldberg Qaw), Minneapolis;
Stella Edelman, Abe Levine, St. Paul;
Anna Jacobs, Des Moines, la.
Education: Morris Lipschutz, Mime
apolis; Mary M. Quinn, Duluth.
Engineering: Philip Edelman, Arthur
Jacobs, St. Paul; Abraham Rosenbloom,
Minneapolis.
Law: Edward Cohen, Joseph Cohen,
David London, Minneapolis; Harry w.
Davis, Duluth.
Among the distinctions won by the
Students:
Stella Edelman was a very prominent
member of the Music Society; David
London was a captain in the cadet corps
and one of the most active spirits in the
work of the Menorah Society; Louis
Goldberg was Pillsbury Oratorical
prize winner and assisted on the Gopher;

Our thoughtful friend, o. G. Whizz,
thinks the way to get men into the
churches is to adopt lodge methods.
Instead of soliciting men to join them,
he points out, men solicit the lodges
to let them in. Maybe he is right.
Some church might put the matter to
a test by locking its front door, rig
cling up little wicket and having a
janitor demand "Who goes there 2"
when visitor approaches. If assur-
ed that it is friend seeking the way
to glory he might let him in, con-
fronting him with the board of dea-
cons in sky-blue tights, .bejeweled
scarlet coats and tin helmets. They
would pass him on to hostile looking
guards with torches, swords and
spikes, who in turn would steer him
into all sorts of pitfalls on the way to
the pew. The blind-fold, which had
been about his eyes all the while
would now be removed and the visit
or would find himself in the midst OF
brethren and sisters wearing robe;
and regalia, who could not consent
for the service to proceed until he hac
given all the grips, signs and tokens
These little formalities out of the way
the preacher would enter, clad as al
Oriental potentate Of the vintage o.
300 B. C. guarded right and left by
elders in tin armor and menacinG
spears. Looks like the suggestion
ought to work. The visitor, having
been the victim of so many surprising
situations, would at once set abou
getting another victim for the mex
service. The secrecy of it all woult
appeal to the popular curiosity AM
everybody would be unhappy unit
they had learned at first hands al
about it. What church will be tn
first to try it out Paris Appeal.

GOVERNMENT ASKS
HELP OF COLLEGE

The University of Missouri College
of Agriculture has been selected by
the United States to help in the big
food production campaign. This is
because the institution is already or
panized to carry on campaign OF
this nature, and owing to experimental
work which it has done, it is in bet
ter position to help the farmers than
anv other institution. The govern
ment is depending on the college to
carry out those plans which have been
formulated by various authorities and
organizations working toward the ma
tional welfare.
One of the important projects IS
greater wheat production campaign
and 3 the work which the college has
done in testing soils, fertilizer re-
ouirements, wheat varieties, and II
various other Investigations will aic

will help in the war have been out

SECRETARY OF STATE
SULLIVAN NOT FRETTING

The attempt of Henry A. Grimm, Of
the Grimm Stamp and Badge Com
pany of st. Louis, through the Post
Dispatch, to make it appear that the
Secretary Of State has let contract
for the 1918 automobile license tags
to "a friend" at an exorbitant price,
has not unduly disturbed Secretary
Sullivan.
"The facts in the case are these, y
Mr.. Sullivan said to a newspaper man.
"The Grimm company has had the
contract continuously since 1911, and
/ cannot find anywhere in the Office a
record of single competitive bid
The Grimms have charged the State
as high as q cents apiece for inferior
tags with baked paint finish, and
now they are offended because l let

an enameled plate far superior to any
heretofore furnished the State. A
tag, by the way, that the Grimm Co
said in a letter to Mr.. Roach in 1915

strength of that assurance was giver

years-1916 and 1917.
"Since | came into Office the auto,

A TINE TO SAVE

There is only one thing certain
about the financial and commercial
conditions that peace is going to bring
and that is their uncertainty, 1t may
be that an era of great prosperity
may be upon US; it may be an era of
stagnation; it may be an era Of the
severest competition we have ever ex-
perienced
1t involves a paradox, but in this
present time of comparative CONNER
cial peace, for the great war has large
ly stopped for a time the struggle
among nations for foreign commerce,
it is a wise thing to prepare for the
economic war that will succeed the
present worldwide war.
1t is well for every American citi-
zen to lay aside in some absolutely
safe security something for that day
that is coming. If it be great pros
perity one will be able to take advan-
tage of it. If it be stagnation one will
be enabled to live through it. If it be
bitter competition, one will be bet
ter able to withstand it.
No better provision could be made
for the future than an investment in
Liberty Loan Bonds. They are abso-
lutely safe and no possible condition
can destroy their value; exempt from
all taxation except estate or inheri-
lance taxes the income from them can
not be lessened; with a market every
where in the United States and, as
competent financial authorities assert,
a market in every commercial center
in the world when peace comes, they
will be readily convertible into cash.
They possess all the elements that
would attract sound investing mind
in time of uncertainty.
More than that an American citizen
investing in Liberty Loan Bonds is in
vesting in victory, for the proceeds
of the Liberty Loan Bonds are to win
the war and bring peace in Europe
and peace and safety to the rest of
the world.
