Confidence Message
! Or. Bryan Honored.

BIZ United Press
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, June T.
A brilliant twilight ceremony was
held here in the Indiana Memorial
Stadium yesterday when Governor
Ed Jackson presided over the gradu-
alton exercises of the State uni
versity here.
Everitt Sanders. secretary to
President Coolidge, made the prin-
cipal address and brought message
of confidence in public education to
the seniors.
President w. l.. Bryan conferred
degrees on about 900 graduates. He
paid a tribute to three former Of
ficers of the university who have
died recently: Charles l.. Henry,
trustee; Carl H. Eigenmann, profess
Sor and DEAN and Joseph Swain,
professor and president
Teachers Landed
Sanders praised the modern edu-
cational system and lauded teach
ers who sacrifice business Ii life to
contribute knowledge to young
America.
He quoted the definition of edu-
cation given by Charles Evans
Hughes, that "the well-educated
man who is an ideal citizen is one
who possesses faith without credu-
lily, convictions without bigotry,
charity without condescension,
courage without pugnacity, self re-
spect without vanity, humility with
Gus obsequiousness, love OF human
ity without sentimentality, and
meekness combined with power"
Worked Way Through
Sanders worked his way through
Indiana University, which he en-
tered twenty years ago. Mrs. San
ders attended school while her hus-
band studied law here.
The board of trustees passed a
resolution paying tribute to Bryan.
The resolution, coming on the silver
anniversary of Bryan as president,
declared that under his direction In
diana had made magnificent strides,
the number of students having in
creased from 1884 in 1902 to 5,742
this year and the faculty from IS
to 80.
