Degree at Oberlin which
Celebrates Centennial
OBERLIN, Ohio. Charles W. Thomas, 4420 Douglas Street, Northeast, Washington, D.C., is one of the 189 seniors who expect to receive the degree of A.B. at the centennial commencement of Oberlin College on June 20. Mr. Thomas has specialized in English.
Oberlin has the distinction of being the first college in the world to undertake the "monstrous" project of educating the sexes together and on equal terms. She was a staunch advocate of the abolition of slavery, and was the birthplace of the Anti-Saloon League.
She has always offered education irrespective of race, color or creed, as well as of sex, and can boast of over 50,000 alumni and former students in her century of existence.
Among the special features of the celebration will be an elaborate historical parade, depicting the life of the college from 1833 to 1933, and the unveiling of a monument to Oberlin's founders. President William J. Hutchins of Berea will preach the baccalaureate sermon, and the commencement address will be given by the distinguished physicist, Robert A. Millikan, Oberlin '91.
