June 23, 1928 WINNETKA TALK : 11 University Confers Degrees on 1,205 at Impressive Rite In presence of 5,000 parents and friends of the graduates who filled the university gymnasium, Northwestern held its 70th commencement exercises Monday morning, conferring degrees upon 1,205 students. Faculty members in their bright hoods and gowns signi- fying their degree and university and gowned students with their distinguish- ing tassels filled the chorus platform and heard the address of Edward Price Bell, dean of the foreign staff of the Chicago Daily News. Speaking on "Ego" he charged the graduating class "to find in yourselves and to reveal to the world, that bit of inviolate originality which is in you." The ego of a person, he said, which is neither more nor less than the person herself or himself, almost defies dis- covery. It lurks in the most obscure recesses of consciousness. "Millions of people, I cannot doubt," Mr. Bell said, "Live and die largely in ignorance of the intensive qualities of their own souls. Education deplores this fact. Education functions to change this fact. Education believes that in the liberation of the ego--and by liberation I mean discovery, the maximum development and the ful release of the ego--education believes that in this consumation we shall at- tain the ultimate glory and utility of men." Northwestern conferred honorary degrees upon seven men and one woman: Edward Price Bell--doctor of laws; Fay-Cooper Cole, professor of anthropology at the University of Chi- cago--doctor of science; Dr. George Dick and Dr. Gladys Dick, who to- gether established the etiology of scarlet fever--doctor of science; Joa- quin Gallo, professor of mathematics and astronomy in the University of Mexico--doctor of science; Henry Hoyt Hilton, "generous contributor to the advancement of learning through the publication of scientific books of merit," doctor of laws; Carl Bismark Roden, librarian of the Chicago Pub- Matthew lic library--master of arts; Wilmette Playwright is Author of New Production Mrs. Edna May Cummings of Wil- mette has just completed a new play to be called "Idealist and Moron." The theme of the play is based on facts gained by Mrs. Cummings through hen psychological study of certain types of people.
