pointment to the large coucoursc present,
by failing to fulfil his engagement.

address.
Previous to the regular service, on Tues
day, an interesting ceremony took place In
the chapel The students OF the different
classes, through one of the seniors, presented
DIR. Daily with beautiful gold headed cane,
which was given as token of regard and
affection to the worthy President and as a
testimonial of their confidence in him not
withstaading the numerous slanderous as
saults made upon him by his enemies. The
presentation was accompanied by aueat and
eulocistic address bithe students, which
was replied to by DIR. Daily in very happy
and eloquent manner.
Prof. Blair of the Ohio State University
delivered an address upon "American Liter
AZURE" which though too long for the occa-

attention for several hours. II was very
able discussion.
Wednesday morning was occupied with
the meeting of the Alumni, and business
meeting of the faculty. In the afternoon,
Dr.. Parvin, of indianapolis, delivered an
address before the Society of the Alumni,
which was chaste and eloquentj tribute
to the memory of DR.. wylie, late President
of tie college; man who had done much
for the educational interests of the State.
On Thursday large crowd assembled to
listen to the addresses of the graduating
class, consisting of fifteen students, and tc
witness the comforting of degrees. The ex-
ercises were of high order Of excellence
and were deeply interesting TO the large
audience. The University is highly pros
porous, and has now larger number o.
students than at any former period. The
calumnious charges against DR.. Daily made
before the Roard Of Trustees were with
drawn, there being no proof to sustain them
The ISLANDERS against the DR.. find no Gre

Bloomington, who have the most intimate
intercourse with him, and know him best
After very laborious preparation his &C
