faded as a whitening George Wash

A capacity crowd, jamming every
inch OF spectator space, watched the
Colonials wing Gopher team which
had won six straight games and had
cleaned up two of the classiest outfits
In the East last week in Madison
Square Garden. Hundreds were turned
away in the rain outside and before
they left, disgruntled, they beat pro-
testing tattoo on the locked doors while
play was on.
Although George Washington never
was behind. seventh consecutive
Minnesota victory seemed likely with
five minutes of the second half gone.
Trailing by 1913 at the half, the CO.
champions of the Big Ten turned on
the heat and twice tied the score at
1919 and at 2l-2l.

Declaring that business corporations
are here as instruments of modern
life, and that the challenge is whether
or not they can be made to serve the
purposes of democracy and American
ism, Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming
urged men of commerce and trade to
recognize the change and the necessity
Of applying it to present conditions.
Senator O'Mahoney was principal
speaker at the annual banquet last
night of the Junior Board of Com

dinner guests.
Control of economic life is greater
and more centralized today" he stated.
But neither private nor public mon
opoly alone can restore prosperity-de-
velopment is needed of plan whereby
greater degree OF democracy is in

monopolies which had their way for
years but were not able to preserve
economic freedom in the United
States"

Virginians moved actively
across the national scene IN
the Revolutionary period.
Most active was young
Thomas jefferson, fired with
the democratic idealism that
brought forth the phrases of
the Declaration. True, the
sentiments were not new.
They had smoldered in the
breasts of great churchmen,
such as Bellarmino; great
statesmen from Plato to the
moving spirits of the French
Revolution so soon to bring
their own aims to fruition
great philosophers and even
great writer's.
With all of these young
jefferson was familiar. By
all of these was he influ-
enced. But if their thought
does stand out in the impas-
stoned document of our free
dom, it was through the keen
lens of Jefferson's personal
ity that it has been ever since
projected into our national
political ideals.
Yet, it is no less for his
love of PATSY" and Polly"
jefferson, his daughters,
than for that Declaration
that jefferson will be re-
membered forever, as he
gazes in 450-foot stature
from the granite side of Mt.
Rushmore in South Dakota's
Black Hills.

She stayed a few days in
London with Mrs. John
Adams, and reached Paris
homesick and dismayed. But
