LOVE is URGED AS LIFE GUIDE
FOR GRADUATES At HOWARD u.
DR.. James E. Shepard, Durham College President,
Outlines Possibilities of U. S. Citizenship
In Commencement TeIk.

The possibilities of American citizen
ship-material and spiritual-were
outlined by DR.. James Z. Shepard,
president of Durham State College at
the tifty-siXth annual commencement
of Howard University yesterday after
noon on the campus of the institution.
The vast possibilities existing IN
America today for all classes of citi-
zens call correspondingly for great
RESPONSIBILITIES" said DIR. Shepard.
Perhaps the greatest responsibility
resting upon a citizen in great re-
public, great kingdom or great empire,
is TO teach lessons of love. We nave
no place in our own great country lot
those who would stir up hate, pre-
iudice or engender strife. The stu
dent should make love the cardinal
principle of his life"
