Emory University Commencement Attracts Hundreds
The Banner reports Emory University in Atlanta drew hundreds from the South for commencement. Attendance reached 1,020 students at the Atlanta campus and 313 at Oxford. Trustees discussed several new buildings including dormitories, a library, museum, gymnasium, and a new dorm at Oxford. Gifts totaling 135,000 announced from Lewis Beck of Atlanta and J. J. Gray Jr. of Tennessee support needy students and medical school work. William Jennings Bryan will deliver the literary address at Wesley Memorial Church, with graduation ceremonies set for Tuesday. A fox terrier parachuted from 1500 feet to carry a message, then returned to headquarters.
