J EVENTS OF YEAR E the numbers in all these golden years who have gone out to leaven the community, and the country, We can appreciate the work of this particular source of light and leading. Our own cheerful and optimistic leader whom we have come to know as a kindly and benevolent man, President 'Lemuel H. Murlin, was introduced to the gathering by Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes, chairman of the assembly, who pre- sented him as The hero of twelve years' strenuous and amazingly successful ad- ministration, President Lemuel I-I. Murlin, present head of the university. In his address, President Marlin reviewed the ideals with which he had assumed the duties of the presidential chair, and the ideals of the university. He pointed out that seventy-five per cent of the students have lived at home among the usual social and business environments of everyday life and that for them college-bredi' is not four years of loafing but four years of earnest life of application in a world of educational activity. He asserted that being a university in a city, Boston University could not perform its service without an international outlook, since the city has international business and social connections, and remarked that this international point of view has done much for the general welfare of the university. The past of Boston University is secure in a record of worthy service, he said. '6She faces the future with the conviction that a great opportunity is hers. The old educational ideals shall be retained and brought to the service of the new day. Democracy shall here be nourished in the spirit of the finest Boman ideal, seeking to train our people in the highest duties of unseliish citizenship. It is our well informed hope that it can be said of Boston University at the end of another :fifty years, that we of the present time built wisely upon this well constructed found ationg that friends have gathered about us counting it a privilege l.o see that material needs were generously provided for our high spiritual taskg above all, that we proved the reality and worth of our work by the service we ren- dered the city and the Commonwealth. President Murlinis address was followed by an oration by John Huston Finley, who spoke on the role played by the university as an integral part of the city. The supreme problemf' he pointed out, is to make all city centers not only the mighty exchanges of communication, but the heights from which men may better communicate with their Cod, a place where His 'tabernacle may be with man more conveniently. At the evening convocation, which was also held in Symphony Hall, John L. Bates, president of the Board of Trustees, and former governor of the Common- wealth, was the presiding ollicer. ,lile introduced. the distinguished guests and speakers, who included Governor Channing lilf. Cox, and the Honorable Justice William Benwick Biddell, Chief Justice ofthe Supreme Court of Ontario, Canada, who spoke on 'The University in 'Modern Life. Justice Biddell presented a picturesque appearance in the flowing red and white robes distinctive of his high honorary degrees, and wearing the quaint Oxford cap, Tam-O'Shanter shape, contrasting greatly with those worn by the other delegates on the platform. 259

A J EVENTS OF YEAR Junior Week Bach class-each University--has a Junior Week and each believes his is best. We are very firm in our belief because never before has the old University been so generally satisfied. For the entire week shiny coats and trousers were put away. White knickers and llannels took the place of baggy serges. liven the collars on shirts were cleaner. Did you notice the trick hats, tooil Boy! It was one week of collegiate atmosphere. Sort of a glimpse into the future when B. U. will be a real campus college and C. B. A. won't have to walk a mile for a date. Thursday and Friday there was the show - our third annual entitled Bound- ing Billowsf' The affair was written by a C. B. A. man. George Bacon. Don While of C. B. A. was the general manager, while the two leads were played by C. B. A. students, Oren A. Armstrong and lVluriel Archung. More power to C. B. A. Boy, what a show! it was just p-e-r-f-e-c-t. liveryone had a great evening, too-even those in the fraternity boxes who had to divide their time between their liabilities and the gang in the chorus, who had borrowed their tux's and by their stage antics threatened. to split the trousers. After the show came the big dance at the Music Box and chairman Bill Pelkus did himself noble. But on Saturday -- Oh, man! Oh, man! The Junior ,Picnic was ten circuses and side shows all combined. The News-Beanpot ballgame will go down in history as an event par excellence. Such stops, such hits, such misthrowsl It was some comedy of errors. Then after the ci'owd had stopped laughing they watched a turf classic that would put the Kentucky Derby to shame. Then came water sports. One of the sporty ones miscued and the canoe capsized. Epilogue shows scene of a certain couple leaving early before the dance that night. Sunday, in general, everyone sort of checked up on her or himself to find out what it was all about. lVlany for the first time realized who was responsible for such a glorious week-end. So that you'll know and won't forget, please note lhe following: - they were responsible. To them go the brown derbies, glass looth- brushes, etc. Chairman, Alvah B.
