 "Thinls of Others"
 President James L. McConaughy in his matriculation address urged greater tolerance and open mindcdness among students and faculty during the coming year, He referred to the late President Emeritus Eliot of Harvard as the most noted leader American edu- cation has developed; his last mes sage to the youth of America was ito cultivate the habit of thinking of others"
 Hits Bishops Attack
 Urging tolerance in religion, pr. McConaughy, although he did not use the names, deprecated Bishop Leonard's recent attack upon Gov ernor Smith of New York.
 He said: T greatly deprecate any organizations which are de- signed to save America for Pro- testant denomination. Personally, it seems to me un-American, un- wise, and almost n-Christian-lille for a religious leader, be he even q bishop, to denounce the presidcn- tial aspiration of a great state gov ernor simply because he is not Protestant. No one of us has all of the truth; this is perhaps more true in the field of religion than anywhere else. Those who sincere ly and honestly differ with us, are often. If our minds are open, our best guides in our search for truth"
