Very Different 1910

over 100 annual Colby college
commandments have been observed.
although the name OF the college has
been changed since II was original
~ founded az Waterville college. At
the present time commencement is
observed during the latter part Of
June and during the past few years
the program has been similar each
year. Perhaps one going to college
commandments each year would
hardly be aware that they change in
the course OF time. but contrasting
tho graduating exercises OF the Sc
NOR class OF Colby OF today with the
exercises held for the graduates near
~ 30 years ago. shows that the order
of procedure is very different.
An interesting account OF a COL
lego commencement in Waterville
about 1910 is as follows:
1T was the great notable event Of
the year. and took place in August.
The citizens were very hospitable to
visitors. and for weeks preceding the
event the question most frequently
put by the ladies' of the village to one
another was: Arc you expecting
much company for commencement"
The sheriff Of the county always at
tcudeds tho exercises and magnifed
his office. with a coCkade on his
hat. and a red sash about his waist.

POLICY OF
RUSSIA
-.
Rykov Makes Statement IN
Which He Says Soviet Will
Work for Peace.
BY WILLIAM j. RESWICK,
International News Service.

MOSCOW, Feb. II. - "Leninism"
will be the future policy of the
Soviet government despite closer re-
lations with the allied powers, 1t was
revealed today by Alexiev Rykov,
successor to Nicolai Lenin as presi-
dent Of the Council of Peoples Com
missarS.
Two allied powers-GTea Britain
and Italy-already have recognized
the Soviet government.
RykOv Makes Statement.
Premier Rykov, who has been i'll,
is improved. His first public state
ment on the policy Of the govern
ment follows:
Newspaper men have shown a
tendency to exaggerate the import
ance Of the post of premier In the
Soviet government in view OF the
fact that the communist party has
been the real power behind the
government for the past six years.
Our~future policy will be that which
was outlined at the last au-Russian
COIETGSS VI OOV1CLSp 4AebAAAOAys
IAN our international policy will
be a struggle for peace. Our only
heritage from the Versailles treaty
is situation which compels the
Soviet government to maintain the
Red army upon a war basis.
But we are interested only in
peace with other countries upon
terms of mutually only. The
powers already dealing with Rus
STA have no cause for regret that
they entered into such relationship
"Our chief domestic problem Is
the development OF our natural re-
sources and the upbuilding Of our
trade and industry. Also we must
establish closer relations between
the workers and peasants.
Improvement In Trade.
Recognition of the Soviet govern
ment by Great Britain guarantees
us a new policy toward other
powers.
Lately Russian trade and in
dustry have improved and there
has been a greater disposition on
the part of foreign capitalists to in
vest in Russia. We believe that
recognition will hasten Russia back
to normal conditions"
