Al Georgetown Today
District Student Gives
VoIedictory and Wins
Prize for Scholarship

A call to arms or other forms Of
war service awaited the majority
Of the 337 seniors who are gradual
ing from Georgetown University
today.
For the last time as class they
will assemble on the old Hilltop
campus to receive diplomas and to
hear words OF encouragement from
Postmaster General Walker.
Georgetown is sending one of its
largest r. o. T. C. classes into the
infantry and Medical Reserve Corps
today, while scores Of other gradu-
ates will exchange caps and gowns
for Navy and Marine Corps uni
forms. Many others Of military age
are returning home to await the
summons from local Selective Serv-
ice Boards.
The Very Rev. Arthur A. OLeary,
S. j., president, will present degrees
to graduates from the college Of arts
and sciences, the graduate school,
medical, dental and foreign service
schools. Only law school seniors
will be absent, since that depart
ment will hold its commencement
June g.
Walker Will Get Degree.
To the doctor Of laws degree he
holds from the University Of Notre
Dame, Mr.. Walker will add one
today from Georgetown. He is a
trustee of both Notre Dame and
the University Of Scranton, Scran-
ton, Pa, and long has been active
in Catholic lay affairs.
Another prominent Government
official, Solicitor General Charles
Fahy, will receive a doctor of laws
degree from Georgetown, but the
law school, from which he was
graduated in 1914, has claimed him
for recognition at its forthcoming
exercises.
Yesterday morning the seniors
marched to Dahlgren Chapel, where
the Rev. Henri j. Wiesel. S. j., pastor
of the Church of st. Aloysius,
preached the baccalaureate sermon.
Realizing that most of them would
soon be marching off to war, he took
his text from the verses Of st. John
giving the Lords commandment {.
that you love one another as have
loved you"
Doctrine of Hate Assailed.
Father Wiesel, a former head
master of the Georgetown Prepara-
tory School, denounced what he
called a determined attempt now be-
ing made "to burn a diabolical doc
trine of hatred into the souls OF
Americans, young and old"
Neither the war nor the peace will
be won, he warned, until in the
heart Of every American, English
man. Frenchman, italian, Japanese
and German hatred has given place
to love-" A Christian may damn
despotiSm and dictatorship" he de-
clared, but cannot remain q Chris
tian If at the same time he hates the
man who holds or teaches those doc
trines.
George Washington braved the
cold of Valley Forge not because he
hated England, but because Of his
"love for freedom" Father Wiesel
reminded. In the same way, he
added, the young Catholic chaplain
at Pearl Harbor refused to leave his
sinking ship not because he hated
