Edward Dwight Eaton Charles Burnell Olds

COLORFUL part of the 89th Commencement exercises of the college was the bestowing of two honorary degrees- that of Doctor of Divinity upon Charles Burnell Olds; of Doctor of Humanities upon Edward Dwight Ea- ton.A Both are graduates of Beloit College, and both spoke a few words.

Dr. Olds received his bachelor's degree in 1896 and was in Beloit this year for the 40th reunion of his class. He has been a famous missionary in Japan. Mrs. Olds will be remembered as Genevieve Davis '97.

Dr. Eaton was graduated from Beloit in 1872 and in 1886 returned as presi- dent. He served in that capacity until 1917, returning also for an interim term in 1922. Since 1924 he has been retired and now lives in the East. He is the author of the college hymnal and is nationally famous as an administrator, speaker and preacher.

Mrs. Eaton was present for the degree ceremony, although she had been de- tained from preceding festivities because of an accident. Dr. Eaton was the Alum- ni speaker on Saturday afternoon and was greeted by many old friends at that time. He also had a part in the Baccalaureate service, giving the prayer.

Trustees, at their Friday afternoon meeting, acted upon many routine mat- ters, and were guests of the college, together with the faculty and their wives, at a dinner at Emerson Hall in the evening.

The First Congregational church was completely filled for the services on Monday, June 15, which started at 9: 45 and continued until 12: 15. Following the services, President and Mrs. Maurer entertained at a luncheon at the Faculty and Alumni Club for the honorary degree people, their families and other guests, and in the early afternoon, the campus had already assumed the somnolent summer calm. Graduates and their families, after lunch parties at the hotel and other restaurants, had departed.

SONNET By Raymond Adams '20 To Edward Dwight Eaton, who became President of Beloit College fifty years ago, and who through his writings and his talks has made early days at Beloit known to me. I KNEW an aged woman years ago Who'd talked with one that was at Waterloo. Her telling of it made time seem less slow To me, until it was as though I too Once looked upon Napoleon's brave exploit And saw the British make their great advance, More real to me, a student at Beloit, Than were the guns then roaring over .France. In the same way you've made the founders known And brought to life the early college days By stories which, from times before your own, You reached to me in vivid, honest phrase.

To the Alumni: This is the last call for subscriptions to the etching of Middle College. It does not seem possible that we can get a genuine etch- ing for only two dollars, but such is the case providing I can get a sufficient number of subscribers. Old man depression has affected many fields, so you need not raise an eyebrow when you read this offer. I must complete the subscription list by July 15 or re- turn the money from orders already received with my "I'm sorry." Therefore, please RSVP right now, enclosing two dollars, and the etching will be mailed to you ready for framing.

Yours,

TO THE ALUMNI SECRETARY: I am interested in securing an original etching of Middle Col- lege, as above outlined, and am enclosing $2.00 in payment. Name Address

If the necessary number of subscriptions is not secured it is under- stood that the money will be returned. Make checks payable to E. W. HALE, Secretary.
