About 1000 persons attended the Alumni Banquet in the gym Saturday night. Paul Avery presided and Sen. Edward Martin 'Ol was toastmaster. Dr. Claude S. Conley and Gen. Carl Spaatz evaluated the college student in relation to religion and the nation, respectively. Miss Mary Sayers, member of the earliest class made the motion to add the new class to alumni rolls. The honorary degree of doctor of literature was conferred on Dr. Francis B. Haas, Supt. Penna. State Dept. of Public Instruction. While the floor was being cleared, the crowd walked around the campus. Japanese lanterns lined the walks and fountain in the park, which Mr. Slatter wanted no one yet everyone to own in his will decades ago. Many visited the Memory Rooms, others held in- formal reunions. Later, they returned to dance to Lee Barrett's music. At 11 a. m., Sunday, there was a service at which the college was rededicated to its original purpose of furnishing an educated ministry and an educated Christian laity. Dr. Paul Calvin Payne officiated. This ceremony was held in front of Miller Hall. Preceding the graduation exercises, Gov. James H. Duff officiated at cornerstone laying ceremonies for the new college library to be built on College Heights. ln this, as in all ceremonies, Dr. Stewart presided. The Governor spoke briefly of the significance of the corr- ' ' of such buildings as he followed a WC precedence of har' ernor lay the cornerstone of new buildings on the colf U- S. Senator Martin, a former gover- Ge9 9e W. Renneisen, treasurer of tl-Q P of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., assisted Gov. Duff as a large crowd observed. The centennial year commencement season was climaxed Sunday afternoon with graduation exercises for a record class of 138 young men and women at 3:30 p. m. at Monument Park. The address was given by Dr. Charles J. Turck, president of Macalester College, St. Paul, Minn. Dr. Turck was given the honorary degree of doctor of laws at this 97th commencement. Also given honorary degrees were the Rev. Clifford Edward Barbour of Knoxville, Tenn., recently elected moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., Gov. James H. Duff of Pennsylvania, Gen. Carl Spaatz, former Army Air Chief, the Rev. Paul Calvin Payne, general secretary of the Board of Christian Education of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., James S-ymes of Philadelphia, vice president of the Pennsylvania Rail- road, O. D. 'Robinson of Pittsburgh, president of the Republic Oil Cor- poration, and Dr. Claude S. Conley, Synodical executive of the Synod of Pennsylvania. In the commencement address by Dr. Turck on the subject, An Old Ideal in a New World, the graduates were told that as college- trained men and women they would be facing greater responsibilities in the coming age of atomic power than ever before. A Rain interrupted the graduation exercises after they were started in Monument Park. Led by the Governor and Dr. Stewart, the grad- uates and large crowd of friends and relatives went to the main hall of the gymnasium across the street, where Dr. Turck completed his address, and degrees were conferred. Delegates from more than 50 colleges and universities were pres- ent in recognition of the centennial of the college. Dr. Jesse L. McCracken received his B. S. degree as of the class of 1908, and Dr. James A. Reese a degree of bachelor of science as of the class of 1911. D. Gerald Jerry Nyhan, WC campus character for nearly a quarter of a century, received his B. S. degree in education. He began school here in 1927 and took courses, meanwhile, at Cornell and W. Va. U. He completed academic work in summer courses since 1947 for the belated degree. A Among the 138 graduates were Mr. and Mrs. Ray Hull, believed to be the first man and wife to graduate together, and the three Drummond brothers, Paul, Bob and Ted. This was the first time in WC history that three brothers received their degrees together. For most parents, many seniors and several alumni, there were some tears shed in the closing moments of the activities. There was much work done and the result was well worth it.
