Spectal Dispatch to The Star. COLLEGE PARK, Md., June 10.— The flags of the nations, the atate colors, the university world war sorvice flag, the olive drab of Gen. Pershing and other officers, the black of the academlo costume of the faculty and students and the vari- hued spring frocks of the women combined to present a colorful scene at the University of Maryland com- mencement exercises on the campus today. Gen. Pershing, who delivered the address to the graduates and re- celved the honorary degree of doctor of laws, was introduced by Dr. A. F. Wouods, president of the university. The gencral won the hearts of his auditors when he stated that for ) |some reason it was customary for graduates and their friends at com- mencement exercises to listen to i “tircsome. dull speeches,” but he trusted that they would not be too hard on him. He then proceeded to deliver a “snap interesting ad- which kent the audience at || “attention” throughout. He told the graluates that upon their shoulde the educated men and women. depended a great deal in the worl truggle to overcome the ignorance which he termed large- ly responsible for the world war and for disturbing conditions which have since existed throughout the greater part of the world. High Moral Leaders Needed. | | | n. Pershing stated that each ‘ nation must have men of the highest moral type as leaders and that it was the duty of each country seek- ing to improve itself first to purge itself from within. He declared that no _conference - designed to Improve world conditions could succeed unless the participants entered into it with clean hands. The general stressed the fact that | “bouk” education alone was but a | mall part of the equipment needed i for useful citizenship, stating that men and women must be able Lo think clearly and to apply their knowledge in a practical, everyday ay in both the spirftual and mate- rial life. In this connection he sald that the spirit_ of independent and original research now being encouraged by in- stitutions of learning on the part of their students represented real prog- ress and it this attitude that had cnabled the world to progress more in the last century than during the whole of recorded time before. Gen. Pershing believed that too few were famillar with the funda- mental principles of the Constitution, and that even many of those Who were famillar with these principles did not practice them enough. Urges Military Training. Concluding, he stated that experi- e had taught that unpreparedness | a very serious thing and this! wuntry should al be in a rea-| mable state of preparcdness. H i reasonable military training w. important as the other essentla a g00d education, and he urzed Mary- | land’s o patriotism which had char- acterized men of the university whl)[ served in the world war. 1 Sterling Ruffin Newell of the grad- {uating class made an address on “Our Debts of Honor.” He sald that a Maryland graduate owes a debt to his parents, his alma mater and his {state which he or she should strive {to pay in a substantial manner. Degrees were conferred, certificates presented and honors bestowed by President Woods. A musical program by the univer- sity band, glee club and chorus was a feature of the exercises. i The president's buffet luncheon to visitors, the final event of the com mencement program, followed the graduation ceremonies.
