atbf Exercises Monday Morn
ing Wkea Degrees are Awarded.
The 42nd annual commencement
of the Georgia State College for
Women came to a close Monday
morning when 117 degrees were
awarded following the literary ad
dress of Hon. W. T. Anderson, edi
tor and publisher of the Macon
Telegraph.
The commencement program be
gan on Friday afternoon when the
senior class held their annual clasp
day exercises. The exercises were
impressive. Saturday afternoon the
normal group who received diplo
mas Monday and numbered more
than two hundred held their class 1
day program.
Saturday evening the annual
alumnae banquet was the principal
event. An interesting program was
given with Hon. Philip Wcltner,
chancelor of tile State Univerarity
system as the honor guest.
Sunday ■morning Dr. J.
mons, paster of the Vincville Bap
tist church, Macon, delivered
baccnlaureate sermon. Dr. Sammons
pointed to the great opportunities to
humanity and God for the young
women graduates. He pleaded with
the young women to devote their
lives to the higher ideals of life, de
claring that sacrifices had been made
to give them the opportunity to de
velop their ttdfeda and that their
duty wan to make these talents count
for most. Dr. Sammons is an out
standing preacher of the Baptist
church and his aormon made an Im
pression upon the young ladies. An
interesting musical program wan
made a part of the service.

held their memorial vesper servicen
hich were attended by all the
graduates and. yjaiting alumnae.
Monday mrfhiing the graduating
parade was formed and the program
began at ten o’clock. Mr. Anderson
was presenteu to the audience by
Dr. Beeson, who described him
the South's most fearlesr editor.
Mr. Anderson used the history of
;oman as his subject and reviewed
the gradual emancipation of woman
from an object of pity and inferior
ity to her place of equality.
“The slow progress to suppress
prejudices against her and
battle against the worst inferiority
complex the world has ever known”
were described by the Macon editor
as he reviewed the various attitudes
of nations and tribes toward wo
man.
“It remained for the coming of
Christ and the setting up of the
Christian ch"rch in the world to
give the firs, ibstaniial recognition
instead of only lip service to wom
an’s rights,” the editor declared.
“The steady tramp of the moth
ers of men . in their march toward
a better civilization and a place at
the government’* council will pretn
until their footbeata shall
heard around the world—and those
we throught inferior and were scorn
ed and derided as Incompetent, they
shall lead us.”
The degrees and diplomrs were
awarded by Dr. Beeson after the
graduates had been presented by
Dean E. H. Scott and Dr. W. T.
A large number of visitors were
present for the commencement pro
gram and probably the largert gath
ering of alumnae in a number of
vears. Dr. Beeson was pleased with
the commencement program and the
accomplishment* of the school dur
ing the year.
