B—6 AMERCAN DEBT REDUEED S0 Cut Is Made in Three Years. Commencement Service Is Set Tonight. American University has cut its debt by $150,000 in the past three years, the Board of Trustees heard today in annual reports from Dr. Jo- seph M. M. Gray, chancellor of the university, and Dr. Arthur C. Christie, president of the board. A new physical education program for men who desire to become in- structors in physical education also was announced at the board meeting, held in Battelle Memorial on the col- lege campus. A ‘“systematic co-ordinating pro- gram” for undergraduates who desire to concentrate their work in the field of the social sciences also was an- nounced for next year. The financial campaign in which the university is engaged, with a goal of $250,000 here and $2,000.000 na- tionally, is making ‘“satisfactory progress,” Dr. Christie reported. He predicted a substantial sum would be raised and many new friends made for the university. Commencement Tonight. A daily report meeting of the finan- cial campaign organization was held at the Willard Hotel today to check up on gifts to the school in its de- velopment program. Dr. Allen A. Stockdale, former pastor of First Congregational Church here, spoke. Commencement will take place at 8 o'clock tonight at Memorial Con- | tinental Hall of the D. A. R. Ernest | K. Lindley, Washington Correspondent of the New York Herald-Tribune, will deliver the address. The American University Women's Guild, of which Mrs. holser is president, held its annual meeting at the Women's Residence on the campus. In his report Trustees Dr. Gray said the College of Liberal Arts “has completed a very satisfactory year with the largest un- | from the hospital after a week's treat- Harry Ober- | to the Board of || dergraduate body in its history.”” He indicated applications for entrance | next Fall are more numerous than | ever before and may increase the list | of undergraduates by 100. | Expansion Is General. | The Graduate School, Dr. Gray | #aid, “has not only served the largest | number of students in its history, but | the quality and range of the work offered has been such as to win rec- | ognition from the academic and offi- | cial world, as a distinguished and| eminent institution.” The School of Public Affairs, he raid, had made more rapid progress than expected, from 80 students two years ago to 931 during the past| semester. He praised the “character | and reputation of the work it does.” Tribute was paid by the chancellor to the 20 years’ connection with the | university of the late Bishop William | Fraser McDowell. In his baccalaureate sermon yes- terday afternoon at Metropolitan Me- morial Methodist Church, adjacent to the campus, Dr. Gray warned that “a dictatorship can be created over night and be bequeathed from generation to | generation.” “It is a manufactured article,” he added, “the result of force and crafts- manship.” He called on the graduates to defend democracy. Gift Is Presented. ‘The college senior class gift—new fllumination for the college assembly hall and paintings for its walls—was presented to Dr. George B. Woods, dean of the college, by Richard Hum- | mer, president of the graduating class. Chancellor and Mrs. Gray were to UNCLE TOM, WHY DON'T THE KIND OF WOMEN 1 LIKE, LIKE ME _DAINTY, SWEET D WOMEN ?

HREE ships, the Albatross, the Americus and the Hispaniola are on the sea sailing for Liverpool, New York and Cherbourg, but not respec- tively. They are commanded by Capts. Brine, Tarr and Salt. A few months ago Capt. Tarr was the guest of Capt. Brine on the Alba- tross. . The Hispaniola hit a derelict on the last crossing and was in dry dock for seven weeks preceding this voyage. The Albatross has just passed the | Americus in midocean and shipped a | stowaway back on the Americus. Mrs. Salt, who usually travels with her husband, was discharged yesterday ment for an illness which overcame her three days before they docked on | the last voyage. l The captain of the Amerfcus has | a report which he will deliver to his Liverpool owners, Cartwright & Smith, when he docks. What ship does Capt. Tarr com- mand, and to what port is it bound? (See Answer, Page B-14.) (Copyright, 1937.) ADVERTISEMENT. His Best Friend Told Him truth.
