The Senior class was highly complimented By
its teachers as composed of remarkably worthy
young men, who improved Alright their oppor-
tunitcs to cultivate their heads and their hearts.
Twenty of them delivered speeches on Commence
ment day, which was very crcditable, and would
have been praised much more heartily and uni
versally had they not been long. There were
three poems among the Senior speeches. The
palm among them for true poetry in thought and
feeling, and for rhythm in structure, was borne on
| by Mr. w VI Coleman Of Concord. 1t was indeed
honorable to his head, heart, genius and taste,
both in composition and in delivery. The Latin
Salutatory fell to the lot Of Mr. Mason, Of Virginia.
and WAS a creditablc effort The Greek Grafton
by Mr. Hammond Of marlborough, that in
French by Mr. Anderson Of New Hanover and
that in German by MIR Morehead of Greensboro
were commended by those who knew about them
as we'll conceived well composed, and we'll uttered,
especially that by Mr. Hammond.
