Davis, secretary of the board, who had been chosen as spokes- | man for the trustees. Termed “Remarkable Man.” “He is a remarkable man,” Mr. Davis said of the honored guest, “who after many years of coniinuously busy days | still stands erect in vigor of mind and | body, alert, interested in civic, reli-| gious and educational affairs, keenly | observant of the present, hopeful for the future, and still in possession of those fine qualities of youth and ac- tion, marking the young who see visions, and elderly statesmen who dream dreams. “In the compass of your many days | you have seen this university grow from a few hundred students to 8,000 young men and women eagerly filling | its class rooms and laboratories.

BUENOS AIRES PROVINCE IMPEACHMENT UPHELD Army Division Instructed to Oust Governor Protected by Fascist Guards. By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. PARIS, March 15.—Premier Pierre- Etienne Flandin staked the life of his cabinet today on his faith that Parlia- ment would accede to the govern- ment’s program for keeping military effectives at full strength in the face of German rearmament. ‘When the measures to increase the term of compulsory military service are presented to Parliament it was expected the premier would make them a question of confidence. Indications were that the govern- ment would meet little opposition ex- cept from Socialists and Communists. Military experts have stressed the necessity of France's having enough men under arms to garrison her girdle of steel and concrete fortifications and guard them against a surprise attack. The mechanization of the German Army has been so perfected, it is said, that in the event of a successful at- tack an invading force crossing the frontler at dawn could reach Paris the same night.
