DR. FOSDICK DEFENDS REBELLION |3 OF YOUTH AGAINST FORMALITY Declares Candor and Frankness of American Young‘ Folks Is “Spring Thaw”—Electrifies Audience at G. W. U. Commencement. The modern rebellion against con- ventionality, formality and lhflu‘ht was defended by Rev. Hary Emerson Ffldlcl(. celebrated New York divhl.. 25 “a Spring thaw from the floes of mid-Victorianism” at the 104th annual commencement of George Washington University last night at the Washing- ton Auditorium. Dr. Fosdick's commencement ora- tion was charged with numerous sub- tle epigrams. which electrified lha huge, perspiring audience the capacious auditorium. tensely interested was the throng in the noted “modernist” and his doctrines that the oppressive heat ‘was forgotten. The cause of the prevalent do-as- you-please spirit among the American people Dr. Fosdick summed up in one word, ‘self-expression. “Man's chief aim today,” he said, “is to let him- self go. We are against restraint and for release. And naturally so. Just behind us iIs the Victorian age, when morals were in good form. Our distaste for conventionality is ex- pressed by free verse in poetry, jazz music, cubism in art and, in morals, ‘do as you please.’ Defends American Youth. Dr. Fosdick then came to the de- fense of the American youth. “Some people stand aghast at this younger generation,” he declared. “I am not so. sure that the new generation is any worse than the old. If some of the old fce-bound men and women who are wont to criticize the younger Eeneration - would reflect a little on their own youth they would certainly revise their opinions. Personally, J thank God for the candor and frank. ness of the present-day boys and gitls. What do they want? Free- dom. Good! So do I. Freedom is great, but it must be the right kind. Dr. Fesdick admon- ished the graduates. “Pick yourself some loyalty and stick to it,” he told them. The one lopseness is that scares one into doing things, bu* @ faith wherein a loyalty is selected and strictly adhered to, the famous “modernist” emphasized. “There is na magic in true religion., Would you trust God to give you efectric lights if .you did not fulfill the condition? You cannot trust God to save a rail- road train when the engineer runs past the signal. You can’t trust God to break his own laws. Fellowship in God is just like tuning in on the radio. Unless vou fulfill all the con- ditlons you don't derive the benefits. does not take care of the engl- neer who runs past signals.” Dr. Lewis Speaks. Dr. Willlam Mather Lewis, presi- dent of the university, depicted the growth of the institution and outlined the building program designed to pro- vide additional accommodations for the ever-increasing student body. He introduced Dr. Fosdick as “a fearless seeker after the truth.” To the strains of Svendsen's “‘Coro nation March” the 460 graduates in academic caps, headed by the board of trustees and deans, marched into the auditorium before the opening ceremonies. Rev. Charles Wood, pas- tor of the Church of the Covenant, offered the invocation. Three honorary degrees were award- ed by the university. Edward J. Hen- ning, former Assistant Secretary of Labor, and Wilbur John Carr, As- sistant Secretary of State in charge of consular affairs, received the degree of doctor of laws, while the master of arts degree was given to Alexander ‘W. Gregg, former collector of internal revenue. All three are alumni of the university. Bachelor of Arts. The degrees were conferred upon the graduates by the deans of the various colleges.
