Eighty.. second Commencement Ceremonies
HE annual Commencement Exercises of the University of Dayton were brought to a close with the formal graduation of the Class of 1932 in the N C R Schoolhouse on Monday afternoon June 6. Ninety graduates, seventeen patent law graduates, ten Preparatory Department graduates, and thirteen graduates of the R. 0. T. C. were included in those receiving honors.

"But you need not be disconsolate over this fact. It is my firm conviction that college students today are more sober and serious thinking and less frivolous than those of a few years ago. They are better qualified, therefore, • than their predecessors of a few years ago. This has resulted from changed conditions under which they have studied," he continued.
Persons · prominent in the exercises are shown above. Left to right, front row: Brigadier General H. C. Pratt, Chief of the Materiel Division of the Air Corps, Wright Field; George White, Governor of Olrlo; Very Rev. B. P. O'Reilly, S.M., president; and Harry F. Finke, '02. Rear row: Lieutenant-Colonel B. F . Ristine; and Thomas A. Edmondson and Thomas P. Kearns, both of the Ohio Department of Industrial Relations.
Governor White said that there are three agencies of e9ucation, the family, the school and the church. He pleaded for the family to take a greater responsibility in education today. "The college students have inquisitive minds, and rightly so. They are asking questions that· are embarrassing to us older folk . They are asking us what is WTong with our economic system which has led us into such a crisis. They expect an answer of us. We may expect a -solution from them.
Very Rev. President B. P . O'Reilly, S.M., spoke of the progress and future hopes and needs of the University. Brigadier-General Pratt presented commissions to the graduates of the R. 0. T. C and spoke of the necessity of adequate national defense.
"The reaction to their serious questioning ought to be good for us if we take it in the right way. We ought to be able to give them an answer to their fervent question of 'What are you going to do about conditions today?' " he said.
Salutatory was by J. Barry Dwyer, ' 32, and valedictory was by John R. Oonnelly, '32. The Commencement Address was by George White, Governor of Ohio. "Our wealth is not in buildings or equipment today, but in the man power and woman power of our country. America will conquer and prosperity will return when the American people seriously begin to think sanely about finding a solution, " the Governor said.
"Our constitution today is sound, our democracy, founded by our fathers, is sound. Shirking our duties of citizenship has caused much of our present condition. Choose xour political party and take an active part in your government, select your officials to be true servants of the public," the Governor concluded.
"You graduates go forth into a darkened world, one

An Economist's View of the Present Depression By ERNEST L. BOGART President of the American Economic Association r r H E other day an acquaintance stopped me on the street and asked if I thought that we would never recover from the present depression but would have to adjust ourselves permanently to conditions of lowered production and of chronic unemployment. A banker said to me recently that the present crisis is the worst in our history and prophesied that it would probably take thirty years to restore prosperity. It may be, as our richest citizen has asserted, that "history is bunk," but a slight knowledge of our own economic development would have saved these gentlemen from much foolish talk. Indeed, one can derive a great deal of comfort from a study of the past, for the United States in the last hundred years has experienced some fifteen well-marked crises, from each of which the country has emerged, after a period of depression varying from a very few months to five years, stronger and more prosperous than ever. While history never absolutely repeats itself, even a brief survey of some of the more important crises of the past will throw needed light upon our present plight. For this purpose I shall select those of 1837, 1873, and 1893, since these were the most serious and were followed by the longest depressions. Within the last twenty years the term "business cycle" has come into general use to descr ibe these recurrent. circles of good times, speculation, and depression, and it is to this cycle that I wish to direct your attention. In every case we have gone ahead too fast in the investment of capital in fixed forms, far in advance of the immediate needs of the country, and then have been compelled to pause and catch our breath . Expansion and Speculation-Then Prolonged Depression
HE crisis of 1837 was preceded by the construction T on a large scale of internal imp'rovements in the form of turnpikes, steamboats, canals, and which werP. banks~
designed to connect the vast region between the Appalachian Mountains and the Atlantic seaboard, to open up new markets both for the western farmer and for the eastern manufacturer, and to provide credit facilities for larger domestic trade. Difficult as it is for us to realize today, the opening of the Erie Canal was more immediately revolutionary than were the later railroad or automobile developments. !ts effect on domestic commerce was phenomenal. Freight rates between New York and Buffalo were cut to one-tenth the former figure and the tim,e for the trip was shoTtened 'from twenty. to eight days. A stream of settlers and freight began to move into the Ohio Valley, and a return movement of western produc11 flowed to the Atlantic coast cities. The South, too, prospered; she bought food and other supplies from the western farmers, and manufactures from eastern merchants, to whom she sold her expanding cotton production. All sections of the country shared in the new prosperity which was introduced by the revolutionary changes in transportation. It seemed as if the key to unbounded wealth had been found. The ~ponse of the people was immediate and unmistakable. With one accord they gave themselves to speculation. It was a period of rapid change ,of great economic development, and of unbounded optimism. A network of canals, 4,500 miles i.n all, was built- far more than the traffic could support. Steamboats multiplied in number on the Mississippi River and the Great Lake~, and throughout the West and South hundreds of private and state banks were chartered to provide the credit facilities for the expected expansion . Within a decade perhaps half a billion dollars had been invested in internal improvements, much of which was borrowed from Europe. The inflation of the currency caused higher prices, and the "new era" of good times was hailed as permanent.

In 1837 this period of expansion and speculation came to an end. The premature investments could not earn their interest charges. DepJ;ession in England curtailed the foreign demand for cotton, and in March several of the greatest cotton factories in New Orleans failed. Cotton fell from twenty cents a pound to ten. In New York 130 firm s had failed by the middle of April. In May every bank in the United States suspended specie payments. Over six hundred banks failed, the discredited bank notes depreciated in value, and prices shrank to a .. · hard-money level. When foreign investors asked for the repayment of their loans, some of the states repudiated their bonds and others delayed their interest payments. Several of the western states declared a moratorium on private debts. The government revenues fell off and Congress, called in extra session, voted $10,000,000 in Treasury notes to meet the emergency. The crisis of 1837 was followed by a prolonged depression. Factories and workshops, organized on a boom basis, closed when the demand fell off. It was estimated that nine-tenths of all the eastern factories were closed, while the reduction in the number of clerk s in mercantile establishments and banks still further swelled the group of the unemployed. · " Golden Age" of Our History
T
HI S crisis of 1837 was one of the most seve;e and far-reaching in our history, and the depression did not come t o an end until 1842. By that time, however, the effects of the earlier excesses had been overcome, weak institutions had been weeded out, and the necessary readjustments to n ew conditons of transportation and trade effected. Upon the firm foundation thus laid the natural buoyancy of the people soon built up a more enduring structure of prosperity than any country had yet seeri. So great was the economic development that the fifteenyear period after 1842 has usuall y been referred to as the "gold en age" of our history . The Bubble of Speculative Enterprise and Inflated Credit Burst
HE crisis of 1873 was the result of a too rapid and T too uneven expansion. Thi s time there was an overinvestment in farms and railroads. The Homestead Act, which gave to each settle:: a free farm of 160 acres, proved an irresistible attraction and drew thousands of farmers onto the western plains. These pioneers, anxious to improve their new farm s, borrowed from eastern capitalists, mortgaging their lands to them. But · many of them borrowed for equipment and improvement moTe than their farms could earn, and they frequently defaulted on interest and principal. For years "a Kansas mortgage" was a synonym for an unprofitable investment. (Continued on Page 6)

After the conclusion of the day's play the driving and putting contests were held. John Jaeger, Western Reserve, won the putting contest from Jim Taylor of Dayton. Harold Eberle of Toledo won the driving contest and Tom Carey was second. Captain Eddie Hamant once again had to be satisfied with runnerup position in the individual competition. Ed ended up one stroke behind Bill Brandy, Heidelberg star, who had four consistent rounds for a total of 308. The Flyer golfer still has another chance to try for the 0. I. G.

----Supplement to the UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON ALUMNUS, June 1932 - - - -
NOW .... MORE THAN EVER BEFORE .... We need boarding students for the coming school year and we need YOUR HELP in sending us students. Alumni have always shown an interest in urging elementary and high school graduates to enter the high school and collegiate departments of the University. The following letter, a facsimile of the letter sent to allatudents, containing the offer made by the Board of Trustees to the students of the University, applies as well to all the Alumni.
UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON DAYTON . OHIO OP'I"ICÂŁ Of' ,.RÂŁ81DE:NT
June 18, 1932 Dear Friend: Do you want a full time or part time job during vacation? The Board of Trustees in a meeting held on June 4, recommended that we make a special appeal to all our boarding students and enlist their services to recruit new students for the coming year. As an inducement they are offering a bonus of $20.00 for each new student secured. The bonus will be paid in cash or put to the student's account in September. This applies to high school students as well as college students. In the case of prospective students who have already applied to the Registrar, no bonus will be paid unless the Registrar finds it necessary to ask you to make a personal call to influence the prospective student to attend the University of Dayton. The bonus offered in this case will be $5.00. The Board of Trustees felt that the offer they are making may appeal particularly in view of the fact that summer jobs will be scarce. Deserving students, and graduates, too, will thus find this an opportunitY to secure funds to tide them over the vacation months and help them meet their expenses for the coming year. _ As soon as you find a prospect report his name at once to the Registrar, who will send you University iiterature, application blanks, etc. Now that we have explained our offer to you, do you want the job? If so, let us know by return mail. Cordially yours,
L~iL_ _ Oh. BPO'R:JM
/President.
