MENT

The largest crowd that has at
tened Commencement for several
years was in Berea, Wednesday, June
9th. The day was ideal and the pro-
gram was carried out as printed in
last weeks Citizen. The whole ex-
ercise was up to the standard, and
perhaps surpassed those Of former
years. Two honorary degrees were
granted and twenty degrees were
given TO those finishing courses OF
study in the College. In all, there
were 29S graduates.
The change in the presidency was
the matter of greatest interest. Al
a few minutes before noon, Presi-
dent Frost, who has held the po-
sition for twenty-eight years, turned
over TO Professor William James
Hutchins the seal OF the institution
and the responsibilities Of the office
By action of the board Of Trustees
President Frost was made President
Emeritus Of Berea College.
The Commencement address was
delivered by DR.. Warren H. Will
son, at 100 p. m. He was followed
by the Rev. Ernest C. Partridge and
by Former-Dean J. w. Dinsmore.

the women. II Is doubtful II they had
any decisive part IN the actual naming

women figured prominently on the min

inently In the oratorical efforts, and
very much 10 their credit. At least
one woman seconded the nomination

At General Woods headquarters
Mrs. Wood and her daughter had a
handshake and a gracious word for
every caller. but they refused at all
times 10 talk politics. on the other
hand the daughter OF Nicholas Muir

her fathers campaign.
Herbert Hoover at no time showed
any strength In the balloting. For the

on practically each candidate was re-
ferred to as a friend and heir OF the
departed ex-president.
Battle OF Ballots.
The ballotlng began on Friday night
and four ballots were taken at that
time. On these ballots General Wood
was the leader, with Governor Lowden
a fairly close second. After the first
ballot a motion TO adjourn was made,
but was promptly voted down by a
combination Of the Wood and Lowden
delegates who felt that their only
chance to win lay in preventing further
conferences on the part of the leaders.
Another effort TO adjourn was made
after the second ballot and a roll call
OF the states demanded. IL, too, was
voted down by the same combination
Of delegates. Al the close ~ the fourth
ballot Senator SmOOt advanced 10 the
front OF the speakers stand and moved

demanded, but the demand was ignored

The meeting OF the Alumni AS
ISOLATION at Commencement time
this year was one Of the most de-
liehtful occasions of the year for
those who attended. Beginning
with last year, the Alumni As
ISOLATION has picked up con-
siderable spirit, and real pep" was
exhibited by every member who was
in Bcrea this Commencement.
Before | go further, wish to say
that the Alumni Association is just
beginning TO see the dawn OF a
greater day. Each years gradual
ing class is recruiting the organi-
cation TO the tune of from twenty
TO forty members. These members
are all going into important places
of service, and before long, the old
heads in the Association will find
themselves surrounded and rein
forced by really big men and wo-
men Of the younger set. What I
mean by the dawn of a new day
can be best illustrated by a quota
ton from the after-dinner speech
OF our new President William J.
Hutchins. He said, I'VE are about
TO reach the close Of the period Of
large donations 10 institutions from
private individuals. In the very
near future, institutions must ex-
pect TO get their financial help in
sn all sums. their advice and friendly
cooperation from the many people
they have educated and lifted in the
world"
There were three sessions of the
Association. The main business
session was held at four O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon in Lincoln Hall.
The President, Clyde S. Stillwell, at
torney-at-law, in Chicago, called
the meeting 10 order, and from the
beginning TO the close. the air was
full of suggestions, recommendation
and prophecies. This meeting was
really a call meeting from last year,
as the regularly appointed reunion
was held last year and by consti-
tUtional appointment, comes every
three years. One of the most far
reaching and constructive actions
OF the Association last year was the
starting of Berea College Alumni
Fund. This fund will be allowed
10 accumulate and. as the needs OF
the institution arise from time 10
them some important channel thru
squarely and choose from among
them some important channel thti'
which they will spend this fubId
for a greater and more influential
Berea.
This is an important step, and is
directly in keeping with the speech
OF President Hutchins, after the
banquet Tuesday evening. The one
thing which the members present
deplored above everything else was
the seeming inability of so many
Berea College Alumni 10 attend the
reunions. Some had business trans
actions that needed their attention;
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1920-06-17

others had recently married wives
or husbands; and others had the
bt rden on their shoulders of nomi-
mating a president. We all feel that
every alumnus loves Bcrea and is
Interested i'm its success, for we had
present this year members who had
never attended a reunion since their
graduation, and after the prelimi-
naries were over, and the now promi-
ncnt professional men had breathed
The atmosphere Of their college days.
they came out strong" for Berea
College and the Alumni Association
The Tuesday afternoon session ran
into the banquet hour and still all
the members had not relieved their
systems Of the speeches and pro-
positions that had been unuttered
for years. The meeting adjourned
until after the banquet, when we re-
assembled TO continue until late
bedtime hour for Berea.
. Next to the Alumni Fund, the
greatest interest of the night ses-
sicn conferred on the proposition OF
drawing out tho interest OF The
college alumni as a whole. IL was
the sense of the body that more
frequent correspondence and a
greater publicity Of the activities
of the graduates be employed, 10
invite universal interest in the
present day work Of Bcrea, as well
a. in the members Of the Associa-
ton.
Next week we hope TO publish the
minutes of the reunion and also

the interests Of party harmony were
all In vain. The three candidates
Wood. Lowden and johnson. who
were leaders In the voting. refused to
give place to any one on whom the
senatorial leaders could agree. They
wanted to let the delegates fight II
out on the floor OF the convention and
continue the ballotlng until the dele
gates had expressed their choice for
the first place on the ticket wits.rut
any influence being exerted On the
part Of the party leaders, and tempo
rarily they won.
when the fry hsllw was taken
az the session ~ Saturday morning
II showed but little change from those
Of Friday night. Through the first
four ballots Of Saturday General Wood
and Governor Lowden we're running
neck and neck aud on one ballot were
tied with 3liiS votes each.
Again there came demand for ad-
iournment and again the Wood and
Lowden forces combined 10 prevent IT,
but without result. After another
consultation at the back Of the
speakers stand between half dozen
senatorial leaders the session was adj
journed despite the protests OF large
part of the delegarcs.
Leaders Take Control
Almost instantly there flashed
through the great building the rumor
that the leaders had decided on Sen
ator Harding ms the man II they could
force his nomination., and they were
going to try.
Could they do III Did the leaders
control enough delegates to name the
leader OF the party ticketi The gen
eral verdict was that they could;
that the unlnstructed delegates would
do their bidding. Senator johnson
and General Wood refused to release
their instructed delegates. and on the
ninth ballot the Illinois delegation
stayed with Governor Lowden. the
Pennsylvania delegation stayed with
Governor Sproul. and the New York
delegation continued TO split among
several candidates. At the end Of
that ballot Senator Harding lacked
40 votes Of enough to nominate him
and Il was thought for a time the
leaders were going 10 fail. until Gov
ernor Sproul was known TO have re-
leased the Pennsylvania delegation to
Harding. and with that the effort
10 climb into the Harding wagon
started on the tenth and final ballot.
In the end all instructed delegations
were released. but many Of them de
clined 10 change their last registered
vote. and the final ballot was an
nounced as given at the head Of this
account. All through the balloting "a
