I am con- vinced that the eighteenth amendment and the labyrinth of penal laws enacted thereunder have gone too far, and we must find some saner basis for dealing with the liquor question. I favor the return to the States of the powers in this connection, but I am unalterably opposed to the re-establishment of the saloon. . . A State should have the right to remain bone dry if that is the will of its people, but it should also have the right to establish governmental con- trol similar to that which prevails in many countries. . . . jected to underworld conditions which We are sub- | ave reached their climax in Chicago. | .

Dr. Hu&h Roberts, president, in ad- dressing the class and their guests em- phasized the need of a musical train- ing of the broadest type in response to present-day demands for more than virtuosity of performance; he also brought forward the benefit to be gained by contact with fellow students. He summarized the requirements lead- ing to the various recognitions gained by the class, calling attention to the growing local opportunities for music students. Candidates for the bachelor's degree are required to attend all sym- phony concerts and they also do super- vised research work in the music division of the Library of Congress, where is housed a collection ranking third highest in the world. ‘Tamara Dmitrieffl was granted an artists’ diploma in piano. The degree of bachelor of music in theory was awarded Sara Cooper Wolloch, Ruth Peters and Grace Tyler Powell.
