IT'S RISKY TO CARRY CASH . . . use TRAVELERS' CHEQUES \'ou will agree that there is always some risk in- volved in carrying cash when traveling. And you will agree, too, that if you should lose cash, your chances of having it returned are very slim in- deed. Now, with Travelers' Cheques this sort of risk is done away with. Should you lose them, the amount in- volved is refunded to you. Travelers' Cheques are a special form of money made to protect those who travel. And they are just as spendable as cash. Try them on any tri|) \ou take — to New York, on a cruise, on your vacation — whenever you go away from home. And when we change your money into Travelers' (hcciucs we will gladl>- help you with other matters con- cerning your trip. Just ask at our Foreign De|jartment or at any of our oftices.

From abroad and from all parts of America the grads had returned for a week-end with their classmates, a visit to old scenes, and a renewal of their ties with the University. As always, they found them- selves rewarded for their return "as pilgrims devout to the shrine of Old Brown." Commeneement was marred hy the illness of Dr. Barbour, which kept him from participating in any of the University functions. Brunonians were assured that their president was better, but others assumed his privileges on Class Day, in the Baccalaureate Service, in the awarding of degrees, and in greeting the alumni at the Sayles Hall assembly. The customary President's Reception was cancelled. The weather, too, traditionally kindly in its regard for Brown festivities and ceremonies, was relentless over the week-end, driving reunion classes indoors and allowing only the Class Night dances to continue in the open. BUT it was still a memorable Commencement, marked by the presence of notables who were created Brown men in the conferring of honorary degrees, by an enthusiastic alumni luncheon and assembly, and by the awarding of baccalaureate degrees to 255 men and 1 1 5 women. Perhaps the final degrees of Bachelor of Philosophy were granted this year, only three Seniors receiving this. A. B. degrees were earned by 3. 36, Bachelor of Science by 4, Bachelor of Science in Engineering by 2 3, and Bachelor of Science in Chemistry by 3 . Of the candidates who marched to the Meeting House two were outstanding. One was John W. Tukey of New Bedford, who never went to high school or preparatory sch(K)l, yet graduated in his Junior year after three years of study, with all possible honors, including final highest honors in chemistry. He had prepared himself for Brown under the tutelage of his parents. Prolonged applause greeted another graduate as he mounted the rostrum to receive his diploma. He was Jack Desprcs of Lime Rock, Lincoln, R. L, who is blind. He was accompanied, as he was through the last of his undergrad- uate years, by his shepherd dog, Gypsy. Despres had a job waiting for him when he left the campus. He had been a good student, active in undergraduate activities (as a list of his interests in the Liber revealed) , often attending football and other athletic contests, and a popular classmate. Degrees were conferred by Dr. Hermon Carey Bumpus, Senior Fellow, while Vice-President Albert D. Mead pre- sided of the Commencement, the 168th annual affair of its kind. SECRETARY of State Cordell Hull and Prof. George H. Blakeslee of Clark University were the principal speakers at the Alumni assembly in Sayles Hall, discussing threats of war in a world that needs peace. Prof. Blakeslee declared that if Roger Williams were to return, he might well marvel at the material progress of the present world but would be pained at the lack of freedom of thought and speech in many of the great nations of the earth and would report with surprise and distress that in the field of international relations there is no knowledge of "how the nations of the world may live together without war." Prof. Blakeslee said that our new neutrality legislation gives no guarantee that we will stay out of the next general war. He held such a possibility extremely unlikely, but even were it realized, he said, this nation could not escape the economic consequences of a general war. The problem, he said, is not merely keeping our country out of a world war, "but we should think more about keeping war out of our v^orld." He urged an adequate reorganization of the League of Nations to "make possible and expedient the co-operation of the United States," as "probably the best step which could be taken in the interest of the world as a whole, and in- directly of the LInited States." SECRET.\RY Hull said "no nation is better than the indi- viduals who compose it," and urged an enlightened public opinion as a means of meeting the problem of main- taining peace. "War is sometimes described as the last resort of the statesman," he said. "I should rather say that recourse to war as a means of attaining the aims of national policy is an unmistakable symbol of bankrupt statesmanship. "But the statesman is only an instrument of national action. The mainsprings of that action lie in the will of the people. . . In the long run, statesmen can act only within the limits of the popular will, which finds its expression through the various agencies of public opinion. It is the trend of such opinion that determines fundamentally the course of a nation's policy." The faculty and student body at Brown were at present at their highest level in the University's existence, said the presiding officer. Dr. Edwin A. Locke '96, health director of Williams College. He conducted his duties in splendid fashion, introducing the speakers with wit and grace. Greet- ings of the State were brought by Governor Theodore Francis Green, who offered his opinion that college educa- tion should be taken to enlarge one's taste and interest, and enrich one's mental and social life, not necessarily as training for a white-collar job.
