BUTLER TO FETE WABASH PREXY

Dr. Sparks to Be Honor Tomorrow at Founders’ Day Rites.

Dr. Frank Hugh Sparks, who 12 years ago left a thriving manufacturing business to follow an aca-

demic career which has led him to the presidency of Wabash College, will be honored at Butler University’s Founders’ Day ceremonies to-

the morning convocation at which Dr. Daniel S. Robinson, Butler president, will preside. The Butler band under the baton of Ellis Carroll and the ButlerJordan choir under the direction of Dr. Joseph Lautner will present a musical program. The Rev. Wales E. Smith, pastor of the Olive Branch Christian Church, will pronounce the invocation and benediction. Following the morning program, J. W. Atherton, board of trustees secretary-treasurer, will entertain Dr. Sparks, President Robinson and friends at an informal luncheon at the Columbia Club. The Founders’ Day dinner will be held at 6:30 p. m. in the Riley Roem of the Claypool Hotel. President Robinson will preside and Dr. Sparks will give an informal talk.
