CONVENIENT TERMS North Shore Talking Machine Co. 712 Church Street, Evanston Open Evenings J Edward Price Bell to Give Address at Commencement Edward Price Bell, dean of the for- eign staff of The Chicago Daily News, will be the Commencement speaker at Northwestern university, June 20, and Dr. George Craig Stewart will deliver the baccalaureate sermon, President Walter Dill Scott announced this week. For twenty-three years, from 1900 to 1923, Mr. Bell was the London cor- respondent of The Daily News, and in that time covered all the great events in England. He interviewed five Brit- ish cabinet ministers at the time of the World War, and was the first cor- respondent to interview a British secretary of state for foreign affairs. He also had extensive experience with the fleet, the armies and the flying service. During the war, Mr. Bell lectured widely to the boys of the public schools in England on the importance of Anglo-American unity for the preservation of free institutions, and throughout the Middle West on the duty of Americans to participate reso- lutely in the effort to organize a stable world peace. He devoted the years 1924 to 1925 to interviewing the leading men of various countries, including President Coolidge, Mussolini, Poincare, Ramsey MacDonald, Baron Kato and Ambas- sador Shidehara of Japan, and the late Governor-General Leonard Wood and Senator Osmena of the Philip- pines, on international and inter-racial problems, especially those centering on the Pacific Ocean. Dr. Stewart, rector of St. Luke's Episcopal church in Evanston, is a member of the board of trustees of Northwestern university, and one of the most widely known clergymen in the Middle West.
