Wet weather has put the
construction work two weeks
behind schedule, so that the
foundations will not be completed until the middle of next
week. According to the contractors, John P. Ballahan Incorporated of Philadelphia, the
exterior of the building will be

Commencement address to the
Class of 1940.

standards of scholarship and in the
nurture of its Quakerism."

Comfort Speaks
Outlining the convictions which
he held after twenty-three years as
head of Haverford, Dr. Comfort
said that university education
should strive "to open the views of
the mind, to give proper excitement to ideas, afford correct stimulus, direction, and object to pursuit, energy and effect to application and perseverance, and ... communicate a vigorous and healififul
tone to the general powers of intellect." The retiring Preildent
recommended to his audience the
motto of the late President Sharpless, "Compromise on non-essentials no compromise on essentials."
"An administration that began
in 1917 and closes in 1940,"the
President pointed out, "bears the
mark, unusual in American history,
of having begun and ended with

fact has bad considerable effect

others. An administration that began in 1917 and
closes in 1940 bears the mark, unusual in American
history, of having begun and ended with the World
in a state of war. This fact has had considerable
effect upon the mentality of those upon whom a
college works and still greater effect upon the financial conditions under which a college works.
The first duty of young men in 1917 was to
equip themselves for active service of one kind or
another at home or abroad. As was to be expected
of a college with the traditions of Haverford, there
were a considerable number of students who felt
that their duty was along lines of construction rather than destruction; and in order to provide for their
convictions, the College in cooperation with the
American Friends' Service Committee (just then recently established) provided a special training for
large number of Haverfordians who engaged in
constructive work first in France and later in other
war-stricken areas in Europe. It is a strange coincidence that in this year 1940 we should have felt
it expedient to organize a somewhat similar group
of young men who, impressed by the need of good
will and cooperation in the world today, volunteered
for a ten weeks' course of training on the college
grounds, which has recently been concluded with a
good degree of satisfaction. What these young men
may do is perhaps not so significant as the fact
that both they and the College felt that a merely
intellectual equipment for life was not the sole requirement in their case. I am constrained to remark in this connection that if I were beginning a
college administration instead of terminating it, I
should explore the possibility of introducing into
Haverford education a required course in some form
of manual labor or dexterity.
eternity.
This is what happens to Haverford in the minds
of its graduates. Commencement is a formal recognition by a large number of people all acting together that life exists as a sequence of things done
and things to do. Commencement is the time when
what we are becomes what we were.
Commencement is simultaneously a wedding and
a funeral. It is acceptance of things dead and things
as yet unborn. One matt properly speak of Com- Publicity Stressed

At Haverford one is dedicated to an objective

It isn't a thing to be easily expressed in words but anyone at Haverford has seen it done.
He sees it every Thursday in Meeting; he bears

It is perhaps, more than anything else, recognition of a tradition. Haverford men for more than
100 years have always been adequate and often been
great. They remember things that were done and
things that were said.
And the memory is what they have left of the
days and the months and the years at Haverford.
It is the meaning of their Commencement and the

beautiful and precious memory and, perhaps for this
reason, a beautiful and no less precious future.

And so I come to the point where it is necessary to part in an official sense with my friends and

has brought nothing but satisfaction and happiness

Also Differed in Age
Four, not fifty-six, students received diplomas from Superintendent John Gummere one hundred
years age this spring at whatthen

exercises, while twelve more seniors in the Class of 1840 left Haverford as non-graduates. But not
only in size but also in age, interests, learning, and choice of a
career, the present graduating
class differs from its counterpart
of a century ago.
Indeed, the Haverford of the
early nineteenth century was not
even a college by twentieth-century standards, for it woo not until
1855 that the curriculum was reorganized along the lines of a university education. Forty-seven
students ranging in age from thirteen to seventeen were enrolled for
the year 1840 and living in Founders' Hall, along with the Superintendent and a faculty of three
members.
Of the four graduates that year,
only one, John R. Winslow, entered a profession, for Winslow later
became professor of materia medics
at the Maryland College of Pharmacy. Anthony M. Kimber, later
a manager of the College, Joseph
Howell, Jr., and Henry H. Sharpless all entered business. Three
non-graduates even went back to
the farm, seemingly unimpressed
by what education they had absorbed while at Haverford.
With Euripides, Tacitus, Gummere's "Astronomy," of
"Optics" and plenty of English
literature as the basis of his scholastic curriculum, the senior of
1840 was denied the pleasures of
music and fiction by Haverford
regulations, and only on extraordinary occasions was he allowed
to leave the campus. When he
did, however, it was to visit Gnatner's White Hail, and indulge in
cider and mince pie, a practice
which the Superintendent frowned

A group of forty-two alumni and
friends of Dr. Felix Morley attended a dinner tendered in honor
of the president-elect Friday evening, May 10, by the Haverford
Society of Maryland.
Mr. Igen C. Lycett, '20, president of the Society, presided, and
called first on Mr. Hans Froelicher,
Jr., '12, to speak in behalf of the
Society. Mr. Froelicher expressed
the group's elation over Dr. Marley's election, and pledged support
in full to the new administration.
Judge Emory H. Niles, Associate Judge of the Supreme Bench
of Baltimore City, then spoke in
behalf of the friends of Dr. Morley, many of whom were present
Dr. Morley himself then was introduced, and confessed that he
was just beginning to realize the
"hot spot" he was in.
He went on to say that his election presented him with two problems, both of which had influenced
his decision to accept the proffered
post. Dr. Morley realized, he said,
that Haverford and the Society of
Friends had a great responsibility
and a tremendous opportunity to
lend their aid in leading the world
out of the chaotic condition in
which it now finds itself. He does
not feel prepared, he added, to
handle the situation, but is conscious of the need and is ready to
try.
The president-elect's second
problem was entirely personal. For
some time, he revealed, he had
been becoming increasingly irri•
tared that daily life swept on without affording a chance to sit and
think properly. He stated that he
did not know what plane and programs be would make for the coaling year, but that be did have one
ides and that was that the four
college years should be used to
enable a boy to understand and
attune himself to the world in
which he is to make his living,
rather than in learning impracti
cal theory.
Mr. Donald B. VanHollen, a
classmate of Dr. Morley, brought
the dinner to a close with reminiscences of the pre-graduation Morley, and presented him with a pipe

Burtt Points to Great
Graduate Enthusiasm
For Campus Activities
By Howard Burtt, President
After a year's operation, the AllHaverford Plan has worked out
well from many points of view.
Alumni paying dues were admitted
free to all campus events, and have
visited Haverford in greater numbers than in recent gars. Those
who paid a somewhat higher fee
for family membership have
brought wives and children to athletic events, Cap and Bells productions, and for skating at the
College pond free of charge. One
of the satisfactions this year has
been to see the youngsters, including promising future Haverfordlane, having a good time on the
campus.
Athletic events have been better
attended this year than previously,
according. to Archibald Macintosh.
Football enjoyed stronger alumni
support, and there was some gain
in basketball. A spot-check made
at the skating-pond revealed 70
alumni tickets in one day.
Cap and Bells performances
were benettted by large alumni
representations. Approximately 215
alumni and their families attended
the Fall Play; 175, the Spring
Concert; and 250, the Spring Play.
Alumni Day speaks for itself.
The fact that members of the plan
are enjoying all events, including
dinner, without any charge other
than their paid-up dues, is a strong
drawing-card.
It remains to be seen how many
members take advantage of their
privilege of free summer tennis at
the College courts.
The All-Haverford Plan has
been successful from the point of
view of number of members and
Natural History Exhibit
Opens in Sharpless;
Cope Letters Exhibited
Made possible by a $5,000 fund
which was placed at the disposal
of Professor Emmett It Dunn by
the Class of 1916, the College
Natural History Collection was
opened for the first time this morning to the public on the second
floor of Sharpless Laboratory.
Fourteen dust-proof cases containing stuffed animals, birds,
plants, and minerals make up the
collection, which Professor Dunn
plans to enlarge from time to
time. A. special feature of the
exhibit today is a display of
Panama snakes which have been
either collected by Professor Dunn
or sent to him by the Gorges
Memorial Laboratory.
Manuscripts and letters belonging to Edward Drinker Cope,
former professor of biology at
Haverford and famous American
naturalist, have also been placed
on exhibition in Sharpless The
collection, along with a picture of

year, operating exeptuses were
more than correspondingly increased. The number of members
paying full does increased 35%
this year. 177 alumni paid their
dues in the year just past who did
not make any contribution last
year — 28% of this year's memberships.
Some graduates have remarked
that there seems to be a rising tide
of alumni interest in Haverford
affairs. Attendance at campus
activities, at the alumni dinner
for President Comfort, and the
Varsity Club dinner supports thin
view. If alumni enthusiasm is
higher this year, if alumni generally feel somewhat closer to Haverford happenings, the All-Haverford Plan should receive some of
the credit.

Number One news spot in the U. S. A.
ALL IN!" .
It is the voice of Bill Donaldson, Superintendent of
the House press gallery. Every Friday morning at
10:30 and Tuesday afternoon at 4, that familiar call
resounds through the oval inner room of the White
House executive offices.
And with these two words, as free of ceremony as
the shout of a subway guard, proclamation is made
that the accredited correspondents of the nation's
newspapers-75 to 200 strong—will now proceed to
question the President of the United States.
► Let no foreign newspaperman suppose (and several of them are usually present) that the absence of
fanfare implies any lack of seriousness. Not these
days.
In the doldrums of last winter, the spot news men
in the front row and the stiff-collared Mark Sullivan at the rear exchanged many a wisecrack with
the man in the chair. But now the correspondents'
questions, always prepared in advance and care.
fully worded, are asked with a full sense of their
national and international import.
The front row may occasionally relieve the tension with a jest, but for the most part the problems of the hour are too harsh and dire for anything
but the gravest fates, the most searching and genuine thoughtfulness on both sides of that famous,
gadget-laden desk.
► Number One news spot in the U. S. A.? Yes, and
in this portentous year of 1940, it may well be
more than that. For this year, a World War and an
American presidential election cross each other's
paths—a meeting more weighted with destiny than
any conjunction of planets.
Third teem possibilities ... changes in defense
plans...developments in foreign policy...no newsman can go through these doors now without feeling that he may come out with a story for the history books.
Not always have the Presidential doors swung
open to correspondents. Most 19th century Presidents, even Lincoln, were suspicious of newspapermen. But during the reign of the unbending Cleveland, a reporter named Bill Price hit on the scheme
of hanging around the White House gate to buttonhole the departing visitor, and he soon had plenty
of imitators.
It was Theodore Roosevelt who first saw the possibilities in that little group of gate-watchers. One
rainy day soon after the assassin's bullet had catapulted him into the Presidency, he called them in,
gave them an anteroom of their own, and established the custom of face-to-face questioning of
President by press.
This journalistic questioning has really become
part of the American governmental process. It
means that Democracy gets more than lip service
between elections. It means that it is somebody's
regular job to report to the stockholders of U. S. A.,
Inc. what their thief has on his mind. Extended to
all other public servants in WashingtoO, it means
that the citizen learns what the government is do.
ing,.and,the government learns what the citizen is
thinking.
► White House coverage, of course, is only a fraction of the complicated Washington assignment.
The queer little political island of D. C. is dotted
with news sources. There is the Senate, which can
(and has) upset the Presidential foreign affairs apple cart. There is the House, which must untie the
purse strings for every Presidential project. flare is
the Supreme Court, which can topple his legislation after it's all signed, sealed, and delivered. And
the Executive Departments ... and the 79 independent administrative agencies ... and the foreign
embassies and legations .. . all gushing news from
time to time faster than the White House itself
It's no job for an amateur—and there are no amateurs in the Washington correspondent corps. Many
have been foreign correspondents in important
European.capitals, editorial writers on great metropolitan papers, managing editors or city editors.
Many write books, magazine articles,
syndicated columns. Though their
median age is only 37, every one has
proved himself on some lesser firing
line. And they are paid accordingly
... $25,000 for the tops, $6000 for the
average.
► No other group in Washington is
their superior in intelligence. None
has fewer axes to grind, fewer oxen
to be gored. And few men, even in
public office, have deeper responsibilities to the people.
Together with nails own Wash-
ington staff of eleven, these men supply the rich
harvest of news from which the Newsmagazine extracts the most significant kernels.
Because the Presidency is the hub around which
the nation revolves, TIME has always accorded leadoff position to what is virtually a diary for the President. No week of his life is unimportant, and TIME
readers always know what he has done with it. And
they know, too, every noteworthy event in the other
departments of the government, for the Presidential
"diary" is followed by a review of all Washington
during a week of the nation's political history.
► One integrated, dramatic story... this is what
TIME creates out of the two million words that pour
forth from the city by the Potomac each week. Every
piece of vital news is fitted into every other piece
... out of the week's haze of details emerges a clear,
consistent, meaningful picture.
Democratic government will survive in this unfriendly world if the electorate knows and cares
what its public servants are doing ... faces its democratic decisions with an informed understanding.
ma takes the responsibility for seeing that a most
influential section of the electorate knows, cares,
and understands.
