THE EUGENE DAILY GUARD, WEDNESDAY, JtXE 24, 1008.
DEGREES CONFERRED '
TODAY ON SIXTY-ONE
OREGON STUDENTS
Fifty-eight graduutcs of the regu
lar departments or the University,
there others receiving , higher de
grees, were pushed out Into the cold
harsh world of life this afternoon at
the University of Oregon's thirty
eecond annual commencement exer
cises, amid a host of admiring friends
and relatives and well-wishing visi
tors. With this afternoon's program
the class of 190S passed Into history
with the best commencement week
that the University has ever held.
President Campbell conferred the de
grees on the class.
Before the degrees were conferred,
Dr. Albert BiiHhnell Mart of Harvard
TJnlvesky, delivered the Commeneo
ment address. In a voice that could
be heard In the ha::ways of Vlllard
as well ns In the main auditorium,
he told by accurato definitions and
apt Illustrations, what kind of men
the world now wants, and disting
uished It from what has been called
for In the paHt.
"The world of today," he said, "Is
material to the core. The most sac
red institutions and observances are
coupled with the practical. And
since the world demands, first nf all,
success, the mpir who win Its laurels
must flmt all be practical."
Later he said that the trend of
moderns Is toward specialization. The
ancients used to do everything but
now it seems that our civilization htis
divided industry Into pockets, Into
whlcll men must slide. But yet there
la the place for the broad sided man,
who can synthetically connect and
llan and hold together different de
partments. The expert gives the
facts of his line, but the really prac
tical broad-minded man organizes.
But of all t'.ungs needed, the
speakpr thought, confidence is the
most necessary. And to obtnln this
confidence every man must lead the
kind of life which gives others
fath.
In-his Introduction, Hart said that
of all the fine things that impressed
him in Eugene, two stood out prom
inently, the first was the banner
near the' University, "Bltullthlc Pave-

and another "Cook With das." The

flown to the wind In honor of the
president of the University to show
that his qualities of mind and heart
were firm, elastic and wearing. The
second reminded him of the good
things to ent ho had already had,
and what more ho expected.

The most memorable event of the

President Johnson, for when tho

University, of Oregon..
