U CENTENARY Ambassador Recalls Role Filled at College by La- fayette Century Before. In virtually the same role as his compatriot, Marquis Lafayette, 100 years ago, Jules J. Jusserand, veteran Ambassador to the United States from France, participated in a celebration last night at George Washington Uni- versity. Gen. Lafayette took part in the first commencement of the uni- versity, then Columbian College. The French Ambassador helped the insti- tutlon commemorate the centenary of this event at exercises in the new Corcoran Hall. The celebration was oné of two events which went to make the day one which President William Mather Lewls, described as notable in George Washington University's history. Amld colorful Masonic ceremonies, the corner stone of the university’s new law school bullding on Twentieth street between G and H strects, was laid in the afternoon and as a climax the celebration was staged at night to mark the dedication of the Lafay- ette memorial alcove in the Univer- sity lhibrary, as well as the centen- ary of the first commencement. Most felicitously introduced by Presi- dent Lewls, Ambassador Jusserand paint- ed a verbal picture of Gen. Lafayette's visit to the United States and compared the university of that day with the great Institution it is today. George ‘Washington's dream, he said, is now realized in the university that bears his name. Recounts Lafayette Visit. Recounting many historical facts of the trtumphal return of the French soldier and patriot to the United States, the Ambassador pointed out that the country was in a ferment of enthusiasm and every town, village and hamlet, vied to do him honor. Then referring to the friendly rela- tions which have existed so long be- tween the French Republic and Amer- ica, M. Jusserand declared that “cen- turles may pass, but France will never forget Gen. Pershing and his wonderful troops, who came to help us, and with which we won the war.” Prof. Harry Cassell Davis, secre- tary of the board of trustees of the university, also reminiscenced about the visit of Lafayette 100 years ago, when the institution In its swad- dling clothes, boasted only of a four- story bulldinz and three graduates at its first commencement. A program by a double quartet from the Men's Glee Club opened the ex- ercises in Corcoran Hall, which was crowded with members of the faculty, students_and_visitors.

President Lewls, in his introductory remarks pointed out that the alcove in the university library dedicated to Lafayette, would contain a large collection of books devoted to history and modern lan- guages. In the wall in the alcove also will be hung a copy of the portrait of the French soldier which now hangs in the Capitol. Miss Estello Went- worth sang “The Marscillaise” as a fitting climax to Ambassador Jusse- rand's speech. Dr. Willlam Bruce King, member of the board of trustees, the principal speaker at the corner stone laying, emphasized that one-tenth of all the law students in the United States are 'n Washington. He cited this fact to show the national importance of the new bullding which will be the largest law school building in the country., The new structure will be named ' Stockton Hall, and will cost 250,000. The name has been chosen to honor ‘Rear Admiral Charles Herbert Stockton, president of the university trom 1910 to 1918. Service of Stockton. Dr. King described Admiral Stock- ton as the “preserver” of (Jeorge Washington University. Under Ad- miral Stockton's leadership, he sald, the university was guided through one of the most critical periods in its history. The rapld growth of the law school also was pictured by Dr. King. The old law school In the Columblan Building, on Fifth street between D and E streets, he said, graduated 10 students at its first commencement, while last year 178 received degrees from the present law school, at 1435 K street. The corner stone of the new law school bullding was laid by Charles Roberts, grand master of Masons of the Grand Lodge of the District, us- ing the trowel with which George Washington laid the corner stone of the Capitol. President Lewis, Dean Williem C. Van Vleck of the law school and Dr. King assisted in ce- menting the corner stone. Invocation and benediction were pronounced by Rev. John C. Palmer, chaplain of the Masonic Grand Lodge of the District. TWO NAVY FLYERS HURT. SAN PEDRO, Calif., December 16.— Comdr. Fred Perkins, Battle Fleet gunnery officer, and Lieut.
