THE DOCKET The Inaugural of George Wash- ington as the first President of the United States; he being also the first to suggest to the Con- gress the advisability of estab- lishing a national university in the District of Columbia . I NSPIRED by the messages of Presidents Washington, Madison and others, W. B. Wedge- wood, Arthur MacArthur, Eugene Carusi, Richard H. Alvey, and their eight associates first incorporated the National University in 1869 under the General Incorporation Law of the District of Columbia. Later the Congress of the United States by a special Act (29 Statutes at Large, 194) granted a broad charter to the original incorporators with full power “to grant and confer diplomas and the usual college and university degrees ' During the first part of its existence, the National University had the honor of having- five Presidents of the United States as Chancellors Ex-Officio. They were Presidents Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur and Cleveland. The first diplomas awarded were conferred personally by these Presidents. The Law School is one of the oldest in the United States and there have been graduated from it over seven thousand students. Among their number are many who have achieved distinction at the local Bar, others who have become Judges of national reputation, and still others who have served in Congress and other high official capacities. 13 u.s.

The Inaugural of President Roosevelt March 4, 1933 F RANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT did not invent the New Deal. It is only by chance that he administers it, for it would have come without him. The New Deal was permanently born when Wall Street crashed in October 1929. It had to come with the growth of industrial power, of mass production and the end of mass immigration. The main economic factor underlying the New Deal is the very simple fact that we can and did produce more than enough for everyone in this country. Roosevelt’s greatest contributions to the people through the New Deal have been hope, action and to a limited extent, national and international respect. 14
