THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY JUNE 11, 1929 297 GET DEGREES AT U. PAERCISES Dr. ). D. M. Ford of Harvard Makes Annual Address to Graduates. i A plea for greater appreciation and | fairer consideration of the historic | period between the fifth and fifteenth | centuries, called both the “dark” and “medieval” eges, was voiced by Dr. J M. Ford, professor of Romantic ' languages at Harvard University, in his | address to the graduates of the Catho- | lic University in the fortieth annual commencement this morning The Most Rev. Pletro Fumasoni- Biondi, apostolic delegate to the United | States, presided over the exercises in | the university gymnasium, at which 2907 | degrees were conferred | In his address, Dr. Ford declared that those who continue to characterize the | medieval period ns the “dark rgs” are “actuated by ignorance or by un- Teasoning prejudice.” Named by Prejudiced. “As a matter of fact,” Dr. Ford con- tinued, “it was the prejudiced who first deliberately designated the middle ag They ignored the fact that the ten cen turfes between the fifth and fifteenth had never lost clas:ical Latin culture and naively proceeded to them barbarous and uninformec truth, “the glory t was Gree in great measure from tk sclousness of western men of t but these latter had never grandeur that was Ir had direct e middle Tost classisists main disesteem for t unreflecting world accept tude,” but during the last century there ensued a movement of Romanticism in which the rights of the middle ages were championed. A reaction was boun to occur, Dr. Ford declared, and con- tinued “It comes now, and lo and behold, it takes men back into the medieval world for the inspiration they need. For the content of their works the Romantics, as the innovators are termed, turn away from pagan classic antiquity and fix thelr gaze upon the Christian and chivalrous Middle Ages. which, as they existed in fact and as they are pictured in medieval literature. are now found to be of rich and varied interest Modern Beginning. Declaring that the Romantic move- pient in literature was unable te con- trol literary ideals for @& prolonged period, and that even before the mid- sint of the nineteenth century there ad begun the modern age of material- ism with its preference for the realism | of actuality and a realism which still holds sway, Dr_Ford said “But, though Romanticism as a dom- fnant factor in creat.ve literary art has had to yleld to other forces, certain ef- fects of the romantic av cation of medievalism still abide with us, and it is my plea that they should be given ever greater importance. Those of us Who are medievalists by profession as- | sert an undissolved continuity of de- velopment during those thousand years. They, far from being a gap, far from being even only a link, between the ancient and modern wnrld.up{‘eseTl o ngrossing panorama of activity in the arts B P fefinement, and of these literature is not the least.” The exercises were opened with an tnvocation by Right Rev. Mgr. Edward vice rector of the university, after Pace, which Right Rev. Mgr. James Hugh Ryan, rector, made the university an- nouncements.

The plane was making good time as it passed the Faroe Islands, midway to Iceland, at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, but soon spent fuel and speed bucking a cold, adverse wind, which slowed it up as it neared Iceland. | It is the aviators’ plan to fly from Stockholm to New York, covering much of the sea trail once followed by their forefathers, the Vikings. Their purpose is to demonstrate the feasibility of the route for commercial flying service.

NEW YORK, June 11 (®).—The Statue of Liberty in New York harbor | has been designated as the official goal of the monoplane Sverige in which three Swedish flyers are attempting a | flight from Stockholm. This was decided upon at a confer- ence between Police Commissioner | Whalen, acting as chairman of the mayor’s reception committee, and Olof H. Lamm, Swedish consul general in New York. It is planned to take the flyers off on the municipal tug, Macom, from which they will be landed at the Battery. From there, they will pro- ceed to City Hall to be received by Mayor James J. Walker. Arrangements also have been made to fit the plane with wheels to permit a and tour of the country. STUDY KELLOGG TREATY.

But when this was in vain we took the course di- | rect to Reykjavik. | “We had calculated it would take us two hours’ flying from the Faroes before we could see Iceland, but three hours {had elapsed since we left the Faroes. The gasoline supply shrank more and | more.” It was an exciting hour. Four | hours went by and still no land sighted. Thought Glacier Was Cloud. “We had long observed a cloud which we did not think had any connection with land, but suddenly we discovered at the edge of the cloud, something black, which was a mountain rock. It was the glacier Oeraefajoekull. | _“It took us five hours from the Faroes to reach Iceland. Reykjavik we could not reach. What mattered now was to find a landing place. At first we thought of the lagoon at Ingol- fshoefdi, but preferred to land on the lake near Skaftaros. “We made a reconnoitering trip above it and saw that the water was so shal- low a landing would be certain to wreck us. “Out in the seas the swell was rather high and at the sight of it we could not help thinking of the sad, long row of wrecks along the whole southeast coast of Iceland. We did not feel inclined to increase their number, but our gasoline supply by now had shrunk to almost nothing. “There was no way out of it but to | 1and on the sea. To our luck, the Nor- | wegian steamer Magnhild was discharg- {ing there. We landed successfully in spite of the rather high sea and were aided by the Magnhild’s crew, who later on treated us to food, coffee and other good things.

When we boarded her in Westman Isles harbor the whole machine was coated with salt. Says Unworthy of Welcome. “We had a mishap three hours be- fore we reached South Iceland, when a waste pipe dropped, causing the en- glnes to make a horrible noise.” Aftet this short report of the voyage Capt. Ahrenberg mentioned the wel- come he had received in Reykjavik. “We have not made ourselves worthy of such a hearty welcome. We have finished only the first part of our voyage. It would have been a differ- ent thing if we had been on the way back " Replying to a question as to when he expected to bs back here, Capt. Ahrenl in the first or second week of July.

IVIGTUT, Greenland, June 11.—The Swedish Atiantic fiyers are the first avi- ators to make a commercial trans- atlantic flight. The only logical route for such a service is by way of Iceland | and Greenland, because, if planes are | to carry mail or freight, they need bases at least within 800 miles of each | other. Iceland already has a good base for scaplanes at Reykjavik, created by the | German Lufthansa and the Iceland Aif | Mail Corporation.

Director Jagd has turned a building over to us, which we have transformed into a service station and repair shop, and where we have put all the spare parts for the motor and plane.
