October 13 —Twenty-two college presidents and representatives of 20 others. massed in academic garb, took part here yester- day in exercises in observation of the 100th anniversary of the founding of Wesleyan University. Six honorary de- grees were awarded Prime Minister Richard B. Bennett of Canada and Owen D. Young, cha man of the board of the General Elec- tric Co. were awarded the degree of doctor of laws.

Bennett Sees Challenge to All Prime Minister Bennett, in a lunch- eon specch, indorsed the thought ex- pressed in a previous speech by Mr. Young that the solution of the eco- | nomic problems of this time lies in wider education n the small colleges. | “We have bullt in the nineteenth cén- tury a civilization of which we are | proud.” sald Mr. Bennett. “That cf ilization is challenged, and that chal- lenge is real. g “The responsibility for leadership, the responsibility for giving this sick and diseased world, after proper diag- nosis, the remedies it needs, lies in the graduates of the present day colleges.” Youne Scores U. S. Ability. Young said the fundamental th of the doll: had made this cou responsible the mainte- | nance of a financial world-wide eco- nomic strength and he voiced indict- \ ment of American education as not pro- ducing men with the training to carry | that responsibility. | “We have been training our men in the teehnique of production, in the technique of distribution and finance,” he said. “But they have not been learn- ing that additional economic oversight which is necessary to have this eco- nomic structure upheld “Now we are a creditor nation. Now that the dollar has perhaps become the strongest basis of international finance it_matters much throughout the world what we do. And we are inadequately equipped, we are inadequately manned to solve that problem.” CALENDAR REFORM PLAN CONSIDERED Charles F. Marvin and Col. 0. N. Solbert Represent U.
