alarm was sounded from box 212 at
the corner Of College avenue and
College place and a considerable
blaze was to be seen at the south end

thought that the Zeta Psi house was
in flames but when the firemen ar
rived with their apparatus it was
discovered that some students bent
on celebrating the end Of the college
year had set fire to the old wooden
bulletin board.
Evidently the board was well
soaked with gasoline as 1t blazed
f1ercely and little was left of 1t when
the firemen arrived. The large elm
tree to which the bulletin board was

serious damage to the old troe.
The old wooden board will be dis
placed by the brand new cement and
brick one which the present gradual
ing class will present to the college
on Tuesday afternoon and some stud
ent thought that Friday night would
be good time to celebrate an burn
something that was not useful to the
college. The alarm was sounded just

Need of Thinking Men
To Prepare for Crises
Ahead. Saws Lowell

Cambridge, Mass, June l4.-(AP9
There is an urgent need for prep
aration in the present day world
mot merely of material things, but
of opinions" President A. Lawrence
Lowell of Harvard University de-
clared in his baccalaureate sermon
in Appleton chapel today. After
laying emphasis upon the import
ance of right thinking and the share
of the individual in forming public
opinion, President Lowell asserted
that it is in the days of tranquility
that conflicting opinions and social
deas grow which result in subse-
quent disasters.
Most of ALL" he said. I'VE need
thinking to prepare for crises ahead.
In fact, there was never more need
of forethought than now, for the
public men of the present day are,
as a rule, apt to take short views.
For such a need educated men.
and among them college graduates.
are peculiarly appropriate because
they have been finished above others
with the means of forming opinions
by ascertaining the facts on which
they should be based and by con-
sidering them from an abstract, and
hence, detached point of view. Such
men are in real sense the watch
men for the people, for IL they see
the evil coming and give not warn
ing the blood of the people who suf-
fer should be required at their hand
>. The advance of civilization
in its social and moral conditions is
caused and measured by the prog
ress of opinion. Public opinion is,
therefore. of the highest consequence
to mankind"
Men need not and cannot all
thing alike, President Lowell as
serted. They are hampered by COM
plexities of civilization. But, he said.
we must beware of assuming that
an idea is true because it is old or
because it is new, but try simply to
discover whether it is true or not.

Evolution Are Not

Princeton, N. j., June 14-(AP)-
Religion and evolution are compat-

sermon this morning.
Il deeply resent the. alternative
that some would force upon me,
would force upon you" said DR.. Hib-
ben, giving the choice to believe
either in the doctrine of evolution or
in religion. The two are not mutual
ly exclusive, and when any body of
men seek to put limitation upon
the teaching of any one in school,
college or university, we of the edu-
cational world enter violent pro-
test.
