OLDEST GRADUATE 1 - Senator Gornelius Cole, 100 Years, Attends Commencement ;¢ Middletown, June 20.—Among the ‘! hundreds of alumni who attended the ' Ninetieth Commencement of Wesleyan University, June 15 to 19, none was| more enthusiastic; none more keenly interested in the various festivities than a sextet of octogenarians, who with Cornelius Cole, '47, came from remote distances to renew again the happy experiences of their under- graduate days. Five' of these men will have travelled an aggregate of 20,500 miles in order to attend the reunions of their classes in Middle- town, Father Time has been unusually kind to Senator Cole, who at 100, has the physical vigor and alertness of mind of a well-preserved man of 70. He speaks interestingly of his 4,000 mile journey across the continent, of the changes in his Alma Mater and the city of Middletown. “The camp- us trees were all small when I left here in "47,” said the centenarian, ip- dicating with a sweep of his hand the stately trees which now dot the Wes- leyan campus.

Senator Cole was accompanied across the continent by Senator Wat- son Carvosso Squire, '50, of Seattle, Washington, who is in his 85th year. Senator Squire was Washington's first representative in the United States senate. Every surviving member of the class of '62 was present at their six- tieth reunion held in connection with the commencement. There was John Merrill Caldwell, age 83, who came {from Valentine, Nebraska; Cranston Jost, age 84, who lives in Bridgetown, Nova Scotia; John W, Narra'way, age 83, of Brandford, Ontario; John Emory Andrus. age 81, of New York city; Henry Ward Bennett, age 87, of Ilion, N. Y.; and Samuel P. Hat- field, age 84, of New York city. The distinction of being Wesleyan's oldest alumnus, which is now Senator Cole's was held for seventy-two years by Daniel Henry Chase, '33, the first man to receive a diploma from Wes- leyan University,—probably the long- est record of a first graduate from any American college.

Then for five years the double mantle of being the old- est in point of years as well as in! point of graduation fell upon Rev. Dr. Bostwick Hawley, '38. At the commencement yesterday, Senator Cole was awarded the degree of doctor of laws, while at the: same time it was announced that both Sen- ator . Cole and Senator Squire had been elected honorary members of Phi Beta Kappa. Throughout the whole commence- ment the Wesleyan university com- munity paid homage and respect to these men who have grown old with the college, and they are speeding back to their several homes today, fully cognizant of the fact that Wes- leyan honored them, not for jalone, but for active years of achievement, real | HONOR FATHER AND SON. | TSI LR i |His Son Gets Wesleyan Degree in' Course—Honorary for Older Man.

Mr. McCall's decision, thereby re- moving himself from the position of being a probable contender against Senator Henry Cabot Lodge in the has an important bearing on the outlook for thé pend- ing campaign in Massachusetts. The prospect of a contest between Lodge and McCall already attracting the attention of the entire country had suggested various political pos+- bilities. It was not so much based on the proposition that McCall could de- feat Lodge for renomination, but that it would cause enough of a party split to bring aid to the democratic nom- inee at the election and make the sit- uation dangerous for Lodge. Yet there are many close followers of political fortunes who thought Mc- Call had a chance to beat Lodge in the primaries. They backed up this opinion with the theory, for one thing, that thousands of republican women republican States senator.

Other witnesses testified that the Ford was going at an exces- sive rate of speed and gave their ver- sions of the accident, all of which coincided with that of Holleran. Beckwith, on the stand, said that he was driving on EIm street, going north, and was positive that the speed of his car was not over 18 miles an hour when he approached East Main street and saw the Lexington car going west. He said that Holleran was driving at about 25 miles an hour. He said that the speed of his car could be accounted for because when he saw that the two cars were going to hit, he put on all the gas possible and turned to the left in an attempt to avold a crash. As he did, the rear end of his car struck the front end of Holleran's automobile. Judge Klett said that in his opin- ion Holleran was not without fauit in the affair. He had the two men draw diagrams of the spot where the acef- dent occurred and both coincided. Po- liceman Patrick O'Mara, who investi- gated the circumstances, said that there were marks of wheels on the street for about 20 feet which seemed to point out that the brake had been applied and the car had not come to a stop before it had slid 20 feet with the wheels locked.
