CLASS MAKES GIFT
TO VA. UNIVERSITY
$4,000 Endowment Policy Pre-
sented at Close of Com
mencement.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


UNIVERSITY. Va. June iS.-An
endowment policy of $4,000 was
presented to the University Of yir-
ginia as a gift from the class of 1923
as part of the class day exercises
held yesterday morning Degrees
were conferred when Homer Cum
mings of Stamford, Conn, former
chairman of the national democratic
committee. spoke.
Robert Lee Kinds. I'd. of Tupelo,
Miss, class president, was presiding
officer of the class exercises and
spoke of the regret felt by the 800
graduates In leaving Virginia. Presf-
dent EdwiD Anderson Alderman ac-
cepted the class gift. The class poem
was read py Frederick S. Wright of
Baltimore.
Following the graduating exercises
a reception to graduates with their
friends and relatives was held in
Madison Hall. A garden party for
alumni was given at the Colonnade
Club, and ball in Fayerwether gym
nasium concluded the celebration.
Mr.. Cummings said that on every
hand there are increasing evidences
that If we do not put the power of
our nation into the worlds plan for
peace there will be neither peace nor
with a world on the brink of new
chasms of despair we are content
to observe" he said; "our govern
ment Is static in the grip Of an un-
reasoning terror. We, who should
be holding the light steady for the
rest of the world. ourselves grope in
darkness.
"The prevailing politicians fear to
lose an issue. They fear that. once
having basked in the mild judicial
light of tribunal of international
law, we may be tempted to brave
something more heroic-even the
efrulgence which radiates from the
league of nations itself. This Is not
statesmanship, it Is political perver-
sity or worse.
Art is International, science, liter
ature, commerce, religion; all are in
ternational, but law has not yet
been made international. We have
yet to learn the simplest lessons of
cooperation"
In his farewell address to the class
President Edwin Anderson Alderman
expressed his optimism about modern
youth. He was strong in his declara-
tion of the fitness of the colleges to
teach moral integrity.

BOSTON, June 13.-That an advisory

able aid to the republican national

of a conference of New England state

ference here, Mr.. Adams stated, was
to lay organization plans for the next

candidates were not discussed, Presi-
dent Harding being accepted as the
