Ed. Comet.-Thc swelling strains
of heart string music by the college
band, cut short my last scribblc. As
| approached the classic shades, each
avenue was filled with vehicles Of
every description. It was remarked
by those familiar with the commence
ment scenes, since. 1886, that such a
multitude of carriages had never be
fore assembled in this place.
The chapel, which BY the way is
the Hall that was fitted up expressly
to accommodate the members and
officers of of the Constitutional conven-
ton that met hcrc in 1916, was neat
ly decorated with garlands and ever
greens. It was completely jammcd
with the 'fairest portion Of Gods Gre
ation,' long before the the exercises
began-and the lords of creation
filled the galleries, windows, hooks
and corners as opportunity afforded
At about the hour Of half past ten, the
Trustees Of the college-the faculty
and visitors marched into the Hall,
to the sound Of martial music. The
graduating class was seated on bench
es in front of the stage. After prayer
the exercises were opened by Smcar-
enccr, Of Texas salutatory in Latin.
The young gentleman seemed perfectly
at homc-spoke in clear deliberate
tonc-and Judging from the beniguant,
sweet smiles and raptuous applause
Of the ladies, it is presumed the sub
jcct Of bis address was both witty and
pretty.

gentlemen of this society was rapidity
aud undertoned enunciation.
The titles Of the Subject will give
YOU a correct idea of their tenor. The

audience, and the stage was frequent

the fair hands. The music-tis now

|. I would like to tell You how

saII cham beng In an '1ncandeScent
state" and not duly welded, snapped
asunder-and how Berry stopped and
mendcd tbe chain, and "as time passed
on and the audience became some
what impatient, how Berry told them
"to wait for the wagon that it would
come in a minute" and "we'll all take
q ride The subject Of Berry's ad-
dress was what Prof. Dimetry would
style, "the Harmonies of Creation.
It is an interesting theme, and deci-
ded]y an able composition, with the
exception of little banking at the be-
ginning. The speeches went off in an
excellent style. The Grafton Of Mr..
Davis, Of West Feliciana, was highly
creditable to one so young; he has
abilities of high order, and with
proper care and culture, will make
an eminent and useful member of
Society. But with the single excep-
ton Of the valedictory, by Young
WcatIersby, of Mississippi, the ora
tions of Conrad and Walsh, of Fast
Baton Rouge, were, according to the
opinion of many whose expressions |
heard; superior in composition and
delivery, to all the others.
After the degrees were conferred,
Prof. Miller delivered the bacallaure-
ate, | believe they call it. 1t was a
parents parting advice to his sons.
1t was well written composition
but not as short as the parting advice
Of Polonius, to his son Laertes, The
whole may be summed up in the last
few lines of the speech ofthe old Cour-
tier:
"This above all to thine own self,
be true and it must follow as the night
the day. Thou canst not then be false
any one"
The degree Of Bachelor of Arts was
conferred upon sixteen young gentle,
men--that of master of Arts upon two
Mr.. Hines and Louis Perkins, former
graduates Of the ynstitution-the de-
gree Of u. y. was conferred upon the
Rev Mr.. Thweat, and that Of L. j.. D.
upon the Hon. Christian Rosclius, Of
New Orleans.
Thus closed the exercises of Cente-
nary College, The performances were
highly creditable to all concerned
and it must be a source of delightful
qualification to the friends of Southern
education, to see that Institution in
such flourishing condition. You
