Ignoring the national and international situation Mr. Guyer dwell on the accomplishments since his graduation 50 years ago. what prosiises the future holds, and where the 1940 graduate fits into the picture. Deploring the defeatist attitude that has developed out of the depression Mr. Guyer said tha: "energies that have been chained and dimmed up for years will soon again be liberated as they were in the past so that the present generation of students may have an open field for the exercise of energies which the good God has given them for the benefit of mankind." -Do no: judge the future of this country by what you have seen the past ten years," counselled Mr.

Dr. Gage pointed out.

Standards are being broken down in an age distinguished no: by the fact of change, but by the rapidiry of change.

IONOU FIKST MOTHER Mrs. Murray, one of the few women ever thus honored by the college, is the first mother to be so recognized. As a home-maker, author, public speaker, and civic leader, she has been cutstanding and It is altogether fitting that she should be awarded an honorary degree the same Com- menccmer.t exercises at which the seventh member of the Murray family Winifred B. Murray, will receive a bachelor's degree from Coe college.

Mrs. Murray was the first woman to be chosen president of the Cedar Rapids board of education, serving during 1923-4. after she had been a member for two years. She was also the first chairman of the pre-school study groups formed here by the Parent-Teacher council, and many of her radio talks have been syndicated by the National Kindergarten association. She was chairman of parent education for four years, and four outlines of study she compiled then have been published.

Our first Amer- i icans were men of ideals, he said, Theh- iceals found a first political expression in the Declaration of Inde- I pendence and a second tution of the United problem which confronted these men was to take 13 colonies, scramble them together and still preserve the identity of each colony. This was accomplished, said President Gage, "by Inventing dual citizenship, citizenship hi a sovereign state and citizenship in the United States." Speaking of the place of colleges In the democratic state Dr. Gage said "no one who loves our American and understands the centuries old tradition that gave birth to her educa- rlonal institutions, can doubt their guardianship of democracy and withhold approval of every present effort for liberty of teaching, self-determination, and self-government." ORDER OF SERVICE Order of service for Baccalaureate was as follows: organ prelude, "Meditation a Ste. Clothilde" (James), Eleanor Taylor, college organist; the academic processional.
