Pays GloWing Tribute to JeaOs
The speaker digressed at this
point to mark the change that the
events Of the past five years have
brought about in the status of the
Jew. The most impressive figure,
he had met in all of Europe was
that of David Lubin, who gave an
American-made fortune to estab-
lish the International Institute of
Agriculture. First overcoming the
handicap imposed by the world on
his despised race, he so impressed
the King of Italy that a 100000
building was erected for this insti-
tute.
The speaker told personal anec-
dotes Of this pathetic figure, burn
ing with a passion to ameliorate the
condition of all the peoples of the
world. Turning the genius of
master mind on the problems Of
the world, he opened new windows
to his hearers and enabled them to
see new ways of helping the human
race.
Lays Charge Upon Women of
Nation
In no country in the world, he
said, are the manners and morals
so dependent upon the standards
set by women as in America. 1t
would be an unhappy change that
would make these conditions other
than they are now. Incident after
incident was recounted to illustate
the high quality of courage which
in time Of war or danger has been
displayed by the womenhood Of the
world. The story Of Elizabeth
Zane, of Mrs. Wendell Phillips,
and many others were told with
simple eloquence which caught and
held the vast audience. The
cleverness and sound common sense
0 fthe American born woman now
in the House of Commons was cited
as a signal example of the power
of women.
He reverted to the influence eX-
erted by the small college and cited
the truly great men turned out by
the College of William and Mary
"a college which never had more
that 60 or 70 students and six or
seven professors. Yet from its
doors went forth men whose in.
fiuence in craftsmanship, in .reli,
Cion, and in science was felt all
over the world.
In conclusion he addressed the
graduates directly, urging them tc
hold fast to the idealistic principles
Of justice and Righteousness which
alone will save the world.
Judge Gray was invited by Dr.
Mitchell to address the audience
He responded graciously anG
voiced the appreciation Of Della
ware and Of the audience for tht
tribute just paid to the small col
leges. He urged the graduates t.
, uphold the ideals inspired by theil
Alma Mater and wished for then
future of happiness, prosperit!
! and usefulness.
