stuck her head through the
door and said:
"Benson's here 10 see you,

Bob said. ,"Send him in,"
and a young army officer
with the gold bar of a second
Lieutenant walked into the

He was about ID and

and smart army cap.
He was tall and slim with
a freckfed face. smiling blue

Bob returned his spruce
salute, extended his hand and
said: Glad to see you again,

commonplace things. such as
how good il was to be back

Then, as an afterthought,
he told me that he had just
received his orders to report

him some sound and friendly
advice and soon he was on

He was a hell-roaring sol

Portsmouth. n. H, June 23-AP
The Navy hcnored today as men
still at their station OF duty the
SO members OF the sunken and
pressure-crushed submarine O-9
after abandoning efforts to recover
their bodies or to salvage the craft
from murky depths, 440 feet below
the surface.
The decision to allow the men to
lay buried on the ocean floor came
only after two courageous Navy
divers descended to the side OF the
underwater vessel in working
dives unparalleled In history. u
was determined that further efforts
would 1eopardiIs divers lives.
"Under+ present circumstances. !"
said Admiral Harold r. Stark, chief
OF naval operations in Washington,
the decision must be to accept the
situation as loss of naval personnel
at sea who can best be honored as
men still at their station OF duty.
Not one OF them would expect or
wish another naval man to risk
his life TO provide another final
resting place"
Naval oficials said that although
II may never be determined what
caused the 23-year-old, recently
recommissioned craft TO plunge to
the ocean bed during a test dive.
naval board OF inquiry would hold
an investigation either in New
London, Conn. or Portsmouth at an
unannounced date.

one of liberty against government.
In modern conditions the trend OF
the majority's conception OF liber-

Two points emerge: ID the import
OF what is called the challenge Of
totalitarianism for democracy: (2J
the dependency OF any program for
economic betterment on increased
production.
Unless democracy can maintain

make life worth living, according
to DR.. Corwin any program OF eco

Normal Graduates 234
State Needs You
President Tells
Students
Honorary Degrees
Awarded to
Eight

The state OF Michigan pays for
your education because 1t needs
you, President John NJ Munson
told the graduating class Of 2s4 OF
Michigan State Normal College at
commencement exercises this morn
ing in Pease Auditorium.
President Munson gave figures
showing how much money is spent
to educate the students at the
Normal College. The state OF Mich
igan has put into the college from
time to time a little over six mill
lion dollars. On each individual
students education is spent $1,000.
plus whatever is paid by himself
or his parents. President Munson
said that II this institution was
to be capitalized, some one would
have to put down twenty five mil
lion dollars to keep it running.
Stating that the state invested
such a large amount of money not
for the students themselves--not
for Tom. Dick, Harry, and Sus-
ie', President Munson asked Why
does the state do it,"
He said that the state made up
its mind a long time ago that 1t
needed primarily teachers, and in
1S49, the first time anyone had
that idea west OF the Hudson
River, the state of Michigan estab-
If-kAd 1au that thnra ekAnIA hA
founded a state Normal school,
1t provided that many subjects be
taught. but most important it pro-
vided that the constitution and the
duties pertaining to the rights OF
citizens should be taught, he said.
President Munson told the grad
yates that the state is paying for
their education because it needs
good teachers to teach boys and
girls who will be future citizens.
The capital outlay is investment
in national stability and national
defense.
Teach Greatness
He admonished the class to
teach greatness Of the state OF
Michigan. Teach that Michigan
is big state with great forests,
farms, resources-eyerything 10
make it a great state with great
people living in It. he said. He
stated that one should not think
that the biggest cities in the coun-
try like New York and Chicago are
maintained by the people in them.
They are maintained by the whole
people of the United, States-peo-
Pile who come from farms and
small cities, he advised them to
remember.
President Munson concluded by
saying, Graduates of Michigan
State Normal College from the
day this institution was founded
have answered the question of the
people who can we trust now"
You can answer 1t. Here | am.
Send me. We can, be trusted"
