University of Virginia Library

Alumni Attended

The luncheon was attended
by alumni from classes dating
back to 1923. Among the few
notables in attendance were
former Gov. Albertis S.
Harrison, and former Gov. and
former University President
Colgate W. Darden. Mr. Darden
was the featured speaker.

In his speech, Mr. Darden
criticized the United States for
its policy of deficit spending.
Sounding much like Harry F.
Byrd and Mr. Byrd's
"pay-as-you-go" financial
theory, Mr. Darden said the

continually increasing deficit
of the U. will eventually lead
to "violence and misery and
deep trouble."
