The latest approximation of
May Day proceeds gives 5020 dol-

dribbling in and so are profits, but
the fact that the approximate sum

of three or four thousand to af -

ex-president of the Self-Government As-
sociation,

Mr. Young is a representative of a new
group in public life in this country, a
‘group. which oniy appeared -during the
Great War, when the exigencies of the
situation called to the service of the
nation men who could bring to bear. the
krowledge of experts and the experience
derived from the direction of great indus-
tries, on the political’and economic prob-
Jems of the day. He was a member of
the First Committee of experts, popu-
larly known as the Dawes. Committee, of
the Reparations Commission. The re-
port.of this Committee, published in 1924,
is the basis of the system of “réparations
as it is now being worked out if Ger-
many. In 1919 Mr. Young was a mem-

-ber of President Wilson’s first and sec-

ond Industrial Conference, and he’ was
on .President Hardirfg’s. Conference. on
He was also an
unofficial advisor of the’ Premier’s Con4
ference in. 1924.

Some of’ the most thrilling industries of
the country are under Mr. Young’s direc-
tion. He is chairman of the Board of
the General Electric Company and of the
Radio Corporation of America; as well
as a director of. numerous other enter:
prises, :

Mr. Young was a ‘ graduate of St. Law-
rence University, and is the chairman of
its Board of Trustees. He holds the de-
gree of LL. D. from ten colleges in this
country, among them Johns Hopkins,
Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Union Col-
lege. In return he has not neglected the
cause of education. He is the President
of the Boatd of Trustees for the estab-
lishment of an endowment fund for the
proposed Walter Hines Page school of
International. Relations, and on the oc-
casion of the opening of the new build-
ings of the Harvard Business School

If we were asked today. what-is the-
greatest phenomenon ‘in the world de-

might say that Youth is in a. State “of
never ceasing movement. This, however,
iz not strictly true: - Youth is, -rather,
in a state of revolt, There is a differetice
between movement. and revolt, which
must not be overlooked... Movement is
meaningless and without purpose ; ‘but re-
volt is deliberative and Has a definite

purpose in mind.

Protest, Prophecy and Purpose.

The .tokens of revolt are threefold:
first there is present the spirit of pro-
test; secofid there is a touch of prophecy
of what may come in the future; and
third, there is the purpose in view. The

human bondage; against social servitude
and iniquity,

ture and freedom, ‘Their prophecy .was
the law which God gave to Moses on
Mount Sinai. Is, thén, the protest of to-

~ Changes in Schedules

Due to the fact that chapel next year
will’ be held in the Music Room in Good-
hart Hall the schedule of morning classes
has had to be rearranged to allow time
to get to Goodhart from the far corners
of the campus. Chapel will be probably
held only three times a week, arid the
extra time used on other days for the
holding of- meetings hitherto scheduled
after lunch. Milk lunch will probably be
served in. Goodhart at eleven. The sug-
gestions of the schedule: committee. are as
follows:

1.-That. chapel ‘instead of being held
between the first and second lecture hours
in the morning should be held between
the third and fourth lecturéhours.

2, That the interval between classes
should be reduced from ten minutes to



should be utilized to increase the length
of the chapel hour, thus giving the fol-
lowing general program for the morning.
