UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA COMMENCEMENT
SIGNIFICANT
This is a red letter day in Alaska—one that will
serve as a marker in the progressive steps of America’s
largest and most northerly territorial possession. It is
made such by the graduation today of the first class
from the only institution of higher education in the ter
ritory since it was elevated from status of a college to a
university.
The University of Alaska sends forth its graduat
es of today equipped for life with the same credentials
and honors they might have received by attending
many of the oldest and most noted of universities of Am
erica. In a way the diplomas and degrees received
here by today’s graduates will mean more than if they
had been won in institutions in the States. They are
peculiarly distinctive because of the fact they are pion
eer honors and earned in a country possessed of rare
norther glamour and varied attributes that cannot be
boasted by old regions.
Other lands will be found to have nothing to give
the student or the graduate in the way of education in
science, art, literature, business administration or ec
onomics which is not obtainable here in respect to the,
degrees here conferred. In a way the University of
Alaska has an advantage touching atmosphere and 1
training—especially on certain practical lines—which ,
is not to be found elsewhere. '
The University of Alaska graduating class of 1936
is to be congratulated; Dr. Charles E. Bunnell, the pres
ident, and the faculty are to be congratulated—and the
same may be said of all who have lent their support
to the University.
It is a happy circumstance that Dr. Ernest Henry'
Gruening, director of territories and insular affairs,
and Governor John W. Troy, and other distinguished
visitors were present and participated in today’s Com
mencement exercises. Their presence and their words
have lent added dignity and attention to the event—
and will help materially in Alaska’s progress on the
road to statehood and a destiny of unquestioned emin-1
ence among the great commonwealths that constitute
the United States of America—Fairbanks News-Miner
of Monday. May 18th.
ALASKA PICTURE
If you are not inclined to hunt gold in Alaska
where there is plenty of it. and big fortunes to be made,
you might like to get one or two of those small Aleu
tian Islands or some other islands off the coast and
start raising silver foxes and caracul sheep.
Americans up there'are doing that now. They raise
the foxes for their valuable furs, .raise the caracul
sheep from Persia to get meat to feed their foxes. Xhe
caracul sheep fur is also valuable. One band of silver
foxes on one little island, with caracul sheep, another
band of black or other valuable foxes on another is
land and more caracul sheep, might support a family
comfortably with gold mining as a side line. Think al
so of the magnificent scenery, fresh air and NEW
COUNTRY.—Arthur Brisbane in Hearst Papers.
DOUBTS ABOUT RADIO
Coming back to Roosevelt and the radio, who has
really demonstrated that if you can speak to millions
of people over the air you hold the country in the hol
low of your hand? It seems only the other day that
Americans were supposed to be clay in the hands of
Father Coughlin because the good priest spoke to
countless millions of people every week; incidentally,

who ever counted the countless million? Father Cough

ace—New York Times.
POPULAR KIPLINGESQUE PHRASES
Familiar quotations from the works of Rudyard
Kipley are legion, often tripping from the tongue with
out realization, by their users, of their origin. Here
are a few of them:
“The Colonel’s lady and Judy O’Grady are sisters
under their skins.”
“East is East and West is West, and never the
twain shall meet. . . ”
“A rag, a bone and a hank of hair. . ”
You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din.
“So I learned about women from her."
“You’re a pore benighted heathen but a first-class
fighting man. ”
“Lord God of Hosts, be with us lest we forget—
lest we forget.”
“Without benefit of clergy.”
“I’ve taken by fun where I’ve found it . . .
“A woman is only a woman, but a good*cigar is
a smoke.”
“The white man’s burden."
Plenty of Time
First Little Girl—What’s your last name, Annie?
2nd Little Girl—Don’t know yet, I’m not married.
Judge—If you were in the house innocently, why
had you taken off your shoes?
Burglar—I heard there was sickness in the house.
1st Steno—“Gee, but isn’t the boss cranky this a.m.?
2nd Steno—“Yes, I’ll have to go in and sit on him”.
