THE ‘EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¢, FRIDAY, OCTOBER Netw President Gives Pledge to Brig.Gen.MitchellGIRL KILLS STUDENT Make G. W. U. Great School WedsinMichigan; William. Mather Lewis Informally In-| augurated by Alumni and Stu- | dents in Ceremony on Mall. His determination to make of the | George Washington University the finest institution of its kind in the country was voiced by Willlam Ma- ther Lewls, new president of the uni- versity, to the students, who, under | the auspices of the alumni of the in- stitution, held an informal student! inauguration for their new chief at the Sylvan Theater, south of the! Washington Monument yesterday eve- | ning. | Two thousand students gathered | Wwithin the shadow of the monument erected to' the patron of their uni- versity and listened to the address | of their new president, and heard him'pledge his efforts to the enlarge- | ment and advancement of the insti- tu n to which they belong. A roar: of approval went up from the gather- | Ing when President Lewis declared | that on Wednesday the board of trus- tees of the university had authorized ! the beginning of the first unit of the ! enlarged university to take place at| once, and that it would be finished | and ready for their use next year.

Today I am a veteran.

As I understand it, it is your desire that I chart the course which we are to sall together. 1 use that figure of speech to lead Your thought easily and naturally to hundred and thirty-first anniversary of the arrival in our midst of that well known sailor Christopher Co- lumbus. We are aiming at a certain goal in the university, and it is well to note that the reason Columbus reached his objective was because he possessed three elements that spell succass for the individual or for the institution—knowledge, the ability to cbtain assistance and unswerving de- termination, Columbus had scientific knowledge far ahead of his time. He knew that the wor'd was round When other men thought it was square. marily to learn how to use your serve you well, both In your own advancement and in the service of your generation. ‘We will hold the ndards of scholar- ship high. We will offer every centive to the eager and ambitious student and discourage those who steadlly refuse to take advantage of what the university offer: And when 1 sav we will hold the andards_ of scholarship high I recognize that that means a definite responsibility on the part of the university to provide the best possible working conditions for the students, to have the proper reci tation halls and laboratories and libraries. “That brings me to the s son we learn from Columbus, name! his ability to secure A tanc There is _one striking difference be- tween Christopher Columbu and George Washington University—Co- lumbus got the money from Isabella before he obtained a crew. “Here we have a crew of more than 5,000 without the. desired conveniences and equipment that money will buy. But we are entering a new day. Many months ago, under the leadership of John B. Larner, chairman of the board of trustees, and Dean Hodgkins, a movement was put on foot to develop a building plan. Yesterday the board of trustees of the university author- ized the immediate beginning of the first unit of that plan, and within a month, if all_goes weil, we will see the ground broken, and mnext y there will be ready for your use bullding as well fitted for its pur- poses as that possessed by any uni- versity. And around that first unit will spread a university plant which will stir your pride, in the quad- rangle of which there will be an out- door auditorium where our entire university may assemble. And Istand here to pledge to you students of the university that we will never be sat- isfled until we not only have a com- plete and splendid plant for recita- tions and lectures and laboratories, but ample and modern facilities for your school activities and for all forms of wholesome physical recrea- tion. nd les. Strexses Determination. “But in making the pledge I ask you to remember the third element in the character of Columbus—determination. I ask you to understand that our hopes cannot be realized in a day. We will] advance each day, each month and each year toward our goal, but only with patience and determination. Nor does and await results. We must, this year, make the best of what we have. thousand students with spirit and de- termination can make an outstanding success of the year's activities, despite any handicaps. must here stress those things which draw us together and reduce those things which pull us apart. It is our university, our class- | room, our assembly, our Hatchet and | Cherry Tree, our debate team, our foot ball team, our basket ball team, and no one's else. But these enterprises of | ours can only develop as they should and can only reflect honor and credit upon us if we give unsparingly and loyally of ourselves to them. Behing us | lies a century of glorious achievement in this university. Before us is a future just as great as you and I will make it. T call upon you, I call upon myseif. to glve the best that is in us to the ! service of the institution hich bear: the proudest name of any in our land the George Washington University.” | Edward L. Scheufler, senior law stu- dent at the university, replied to the president’s address on behalf of the ! students, and pledged the faith and | trust of the entire student body in | the future of the institution. “As we . leave here for the various parts of | the country and the world we want | to feel that we are leaving the great- est educational institution on earth.” | declared Mr. Scheufler, who that President Lewis had the key to ! the hearts of the students in the short | time he had been at the university ! and urged that the students lend every effort In the institution's ad- vancement. : Students Present Key.
