WALTER HINES PAGE AT
WESTMINSTER

The proposal to erect a memorial of
Walter Hines Page in Westminster Abbey
is eminently appropriate and its fulflment
will establish one of the best possible
tokens of that Anglo American solidarity
which in the supreme crisis of the worlds
affairs was of saving value to civilization
and humanity. We might indeed have
wished for great national movement here
for fitting commemoration of that mar
tyred Ambassador, and we might we'll
resent the influences which deferred it.
But it was noble thing for company
of the very foremost British statesmen
and humanitarians to make for his enroll
ment by the side of the most illustrious
names of the United Kingdom and also
those who historically belong to both
Britain and America. His will not be the
first American name to be inscribed in the
great Abbey, nor, we may be confident,
will it be the last; but it will ever rank
among the worthiest. In "that temple of
silence and reconciliation where the en-
mites of twenty generations lie buried"
his name will be eloquent of cooperation
assuring, we may well believe, the friend
ship of more than twenty generations yet
to come. Nor could there be better COM
plement to such memorial than the founda-
tion, already happily suggested, of chair
at one of the great universities to teach
the principles to which he devoted and
for which he sacrificed his life. A Walter
Hines. Page Professorship of Anglo
American Accord would be auspicious of
the best welfare of the race-Willis

REVIEW.

sales of the previous year by seventy per

As far as the Printing Department is
concerned it is with extreme pleasure that
we are able to report that the fiscal year
ending on July 1, 1928, was the greatest
year in our history. Without going into
details we are going to quote just few
figures to show what we have been doing.
For instance in the last fiscal year we
turned out printing and ruling matter to
the number of 1851 ,290 pieces, as against
6,2S4,O79 pieces in the year previous, at
a cost of $7,724.7S. If this work had been
done on the outside it would have cost
the state not less than $19,4369S, conse-
quently we are crediting this department
with a profit for the year of $11,71220,
the amount saved the state. Pretty good
showing we think, considering that the
entire equipment of the Printing Depart
ment cost only $4,000. We are interested
in knowing whether any of our institu-
tional contemporaries are making better
showing. In addition to the above we
bound the following magazines that were
placed in the library for circulation:

Won't Permit Search for
Remains of OglethOrpe

London, Aug. S.-The University Of
Georgia has been refused permission
to search for the remains of its
founder General James E. Ogle-
thorpe, at Cranham, Essex, where he
was probably buried. THE Univer-
sity's desire to have the remains and
enshrine them in Georgia is appre-
ciated," the Daily Mails says, but
mindful doubtless of the indignation
caused by the circumstances of the
search for the remains of Pochahon-
tas, the chancellor of the diocese of
Chelmsford, in which Grammar is
embraced, has refused thus far to
grant the permission.

Paroled on Farm

Cheshire, Aug. S.-Albert Hopkins,
aged 21 years, an inmate of the Che
shire reformatory wss drowned here
last night In Hotchkiss pond, where
he and ten other young men had been
swimming early in the evening. The
lad had been at the reformatory for
year and a half and would have
been discharged soon. it was said, as
his record at the institution was very
good. He was on parole and had been
employed on the Bishop farm here.
Hotchkiss pond is an ice pond and
is twenty feet deep in many places.
John Bishop and party of ten young
men had gone in swimming in the
pond early in the evening AS they
were about to leave the pond follow
ing their swim Bishop called for
Hopkins and received no reply. A
search was begun and the boys
clothes were found on the bank of the
pond where he had left them. He
was said to be a good swimmer and 1t
is thought that he was the victim
of cramps. Springs feed the pond,
it was said. and there are some very
cold currents which make it danger
Gus for swimmers.
A boat was procured from the
Blakeslee place near the Broad
Brook pumping station and carried to
Hotchkiss pond in an auto truck.
Three men then dragged the pond
for several hours being aided in
their work by automobile lights, but
at midnight the body had not been
located. 1t was said by persons con-
nected with the reform school that
Hopkins home is in Putnam and that
