Big Graduating Class in 1922.
For the first time in the history Of
Shepherd College, it is believed, the
seniors lead all other classes in num-
ber According to statistics prepared
by President White, Shepherd College
has 50 seniors, 4S juniors, 80 sopho-
mores and 8 special students, or a total
enrolment OF t56 students. Only
Young people in residence are listed.
Applications for correspondence courses
are coming in nearly every day, and
since they will be accepted until April
first, no estimate Of students in this
department can be safely made. A list
OF teachers who have been taking corre-
spondence courses and studying in the
summer school shows that thirty four
not now in residence may be able to-
complete all requirements for a di-
ploma in 1922, thus next years gradu-
ating class may reach the high total
OF seventy or seventy-fve members.
Major Putnam in Masterful Address.
Major George Haven Putnam, New
| York publisher and author, who has
been visiting at Wild Goose during the
past week, gave Shepherd College an
| intellectual treat Monday morning in
the form Of an address on Our Re-
lations with Great Britain and France.
| DIR. Putnam Is well qualified to speak
| speak on this subject, having
for years been national oficer Of the
| League to Europe Peace and having
led life OF peculiarly rich and varied
| cosmopolitan experiences. He was
| born in London and as a mere boy
heard King Albert deliver his famous
| address at the first Worlds Fair: he
was educated at the Sorbonne, Paris,
and at the University of Gottingen;
ne has also Travelled widely and
mingled with rulers and men OF az
| fairs in many countries. In manners
| and speech he is the embodiment OF
| the highest culture and scholarship OF
the East. and II was indeed rare priv
ilege for members OF the school and
| others who chanced to learn that
he would appear in chapel assembly.
DR.. Putnam first spoke Of repre-
sentative government in Great Britain,
and France and the United States OF
America, emphasizing the value OF our
Supreme Court as q check against
dangerous ideas Of the moment and as
a safeguard OF the highest and best
conceptions OF our government against
misguided and uniformed legislators.
Having given praise to the founders Of
our nation and expressed admiration
for Lincoln, Roosevelt and Wilson, DR..
Putnam passed to a review Of each
country's part in ten Great War and
| 'hen launched forth in a clear and con-
vincing presentation Of Americas
proper attitude toward world affairs.
Touched as il was with aspirations
for all the future good hoped for, by
enthusiasts for The League OF Nations
and the coming Disarmament Confer
ence and tinged with the ideals OF a
glorious past. his address can not fail
to leave lasting impression OF, every
thoughtful hearer.
