For the principal review on Con-

stitution Avenue, standing before
the new government buildings that
flank that stately street, and the
reviewing officers will then pass
along the avenue in automobiles to

in this department that he CEN
tered his greatest interest, and 1t
was with extreme reluctance that
he left it in 1880 to assume charge
of the university.
Messages of Coincidence
Today messages of coincidence
came from throughout the world.
He was one of the sponsors and
first president of the press congress
of the world, a fellow of the Brit
ish Institute of Journalists and a
member of. the Paris Autour Du
Monde.
DR.. Williams widow, his daugh-
ter, Mrs. John F. Rhodes Of Kan

cled the globe in 1913 as a fellow
of the Kahn Foundation and made
many trips abroad later in interest
of world journalism and improved
international relations.
The Missouri Press Association in
1896 after hearing a speech by E.
w. Stephens, Williams employer,
