We cannot be expected to - into partic-
uar account of the various pieces. 1t is suf-
iicicnt to say that our commencement audi
cnccs have learned to expect rood deal
from the graduating class, and that they
were not Disappointed ON this occasion. The

half of creation, and followed with setting

grounds Of the universal belief in it, which,
