THE: M A C' RECORD VOL. XX TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 1915. NO. 36 C O M M E N C E M E NT D AY PROGRAM Tuesday, the 22d, the day of all days for the class of 1915, was a splendid one in every respect. The weather was perfect, hence the air was peaceful, and the whole tone of the vast assemblage gathered under the big tent to hear David Starr Jordan, the greatest peace advocate of the times, was one of accord. Dr. Jordan lived up to his reputation, his whole time being spent in scoring war and picturing the evils thereof, and in this respect the address was an unusual one for such occasions. Dr. Jordan called attention to the difference between the college men in America at the present time and those in Europe. The latter ones, the flower of their country, are engaged in warfare, while the physically and mentally unfit do not have the qualifications for warriors, and hence are left at home—the parentage of the next generation. Following this idea, he called attention to the fact that war is the only thing that brings down a nation. All national debts are accumulated by war. The actual heighth of a people goes down during and after a war, and slowly in creases during a long peace. the high attainments of civilization of the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, Dr. Jordan said: "Not all of the Egyptians built pyramids, not all of the Grecians were artists or philosophers—only a comparatively few people give tone to a country, and when war comes these are swept away." In bringing out an important point, the humor of the speaker was brought into play in the story of the man who said that instead of war resulting in a sur vival of the fittest, it was a survival of those that never "fit." In speaking of Following the address by Chancellor Jordan, Henry A. Haigh, a graduate of the class of '74, and president of the M. A. C. Association, introduced C. S. Crandall, '73, and A. G. Gulley, '68, who presented to the College, from the M. A. C. Association, portraits of Prof. Manley Miles and David Fairchild. The work of these two noted leaders and teachers can best be understood from the remarks of acceptance which were made by Pres. Snyder: (Continued on page 8.)
