In costumes of long ago students at Swarthmore College rehearse the founding exercises which marked the opening of the 

 school fifty years ago. Memorial tree planting had a big part in the program. Miss Cunningham taught mathmatics to Governor 

 Sproul and A. Mitchell Palmer, now attorney general of the United States. She is the only living teacher of the original faculty 

 and, with the elder Mr. Clothier, saw Lucretia Mott and her son plant two oaks marking the founding of the school fifty years ago. 

 Swarthmore sets a fine example to other educational institutions of the country in memorial tree planting.
