CARVER MAKES ADDRESS College Women Revive Pretty Cus tom of Flower and Fern Pro cession Exercises Over, Students Return Home. UNIVERSITY OK OREGON, Eugene, 3une a. (Special.) Ninety-three young men and women of the senior class form ally severed their four years' connection with the University of Oregon as stu dents today, and ended, their part In the ceremonies of commencement, when they received their graduating diplomas from President Campbell. One of the Dio6t impressive and interesting features of the week was presented as the capped ami gowned members of the class filed before the president for the last time. With today's exercises came the final wlndup of commencement, and tonight students and visitors are returning to their homes in all parts of the state. The celebration Just concluded has been by far the largest and most successful in the history of the university. Address Begins Programme. The day's programme began with the address to the class in the morning by Professor Thomas Nixon Carver, of the department of political science at Har vard. and ended with the alumni dinner in the afternoon and the annual alumni reception and ball In the evening. Presi dent Allen Eaton of the alumni welcomed the seniors and President Oliver B. Hus ton, of Portland, gave the response for the graduating class. One of the features of yesterday's ex ercises was the revival of the pretty old custom of a fern and flower procession by the university and alumni women. Forming by classes In line extending sev eral blocks in length, and headed by Mrs. H. P". McCornack of the class of 1878, the first to be graduated from the Univer sity of Oregon, the women made a most impressive spectacle. Dr. Carson Is Present. The members of each class carried different kinds of flowers. They marched around the campus, formed the letters "U. 0."in front o fVillard Hall, and then deposited their beupuets on the fround so as to leave the letters permanently. Dr. Luella Clay Carson, ex-Dean of Women, who has just completed her first year as president of Mills College, was present and the ceremony, which she herself had introduced, deeply af fected her. Last night the seniors began a new custom by organizing a "college sing." Almost a hundred in number, they marched around the college builldings singing farewell songs, and then ser enaded the various sorority and frater nity houses. Following this, they en joyed a banquet together at one of the eccruleeeeeteee houses. Profercosr Thomas Nixon Carver, of Harvard! University, delivered the com mencement address this morning. His subject wa" "The Conservation of Hu man Energy." Professor Nixon Speaks. The address consisted essentially of a comparison of modern and Wetern civilization with ancient and Eastern civilization, in the course of which the lauded the commercialism, productive power, and energy of the modern age, and condemned the weakness of the people who are falling before us and sentimentality of those who try tot de fend them. The ceremony and wastefulness of religion, the pride of the downtrodden, and the sentimentality of humanitar ians were among the cardinal points that Dr. Craver took exception to as tending to divert energy from produc tive and useful pursuits. "Christian ity, said he, "is only useful in so far as it makes men better farmers or work men." "The productive life consists in doing the thing which is most needed andfor which the Individual has the greatest capacity," said Professor Carver in part. "If corn is needed and one Is better fitted for growing corn than anything else, one Is to grow corn. If the sick need nursing and one is better fitted for nursing than for anything else, one is to nurse the sick." Real Sin AVaste of Energy. The only real sin, according to Dr. Carver, is waste of human energy. Su perstitions 'and formal religions are det riments to progress, as well as idleness and Intemperance. Dr. Carver's advice to Christians was In effect to quit preaching and go to work. Thus, by making themselves more fit to succeed, he said, they will sup plant the non-Christians more effectively than by converting them. Following the address came the pre sentation of diplomas by President Campbell. it , - : b i .
