These charges and allegations should be sifted well and thoroughly. If there is reasonable ground for belief that they are a truthful portrayal of a man's actions they should be pressed, and pressed to the limit in the criminal court.

All of the speakers expressed an appreciation to Mr. McDonald for the generous gift and for the encouragement given by Mr. McDonald to the young men who are struggling to get a business education. It was explained by Dean Hoyt that the scholarship will be awarded to some worthy student selected each year by the faculty of the col- lege of commerce. - Addresses were made by Mr. Mc- Donald and Mr. Solomon both of whom spoke highly of the training given the young men at the Young university.
