As soon as the room was opened this

Mr.. Carlisle proceeded to argue against the

with fear and trembling, walked after the

10000 Austrians; and 100000 to 1870, 900 French.

WAKE FOREST COLLEGE,
June 16. 1859,

To the Editors Of the Standard:
GENTLEMEN: confess that I was not little sur.
prised to find in notice of our commencement ex-
ercses in your last ISSUE that one of your Reporters
seriously brings to task for want of courtesy
to the Press And this too, he says, in face of the
fact "that the managers of our public institutions
have been reminded of this omission year after
year." l regret this complaint the more, because
your Reporter states that she applied to of the
Marshals for seat and was informed that it could
not be furnished" l could hope that he was not
known as Reporter from the Standard office; but
this is hardly possible, since he could not then have
felt aggrieved as one of the Press. Be this as it
may, hope it will be considered as one of those
blunders which may sometimes happen in spite of
the best intentions.
One of our Marshals, know, took great pains to
seek out gentlemen of the Press, and was, in part
successful 1t has been my habit publicly to invite
them to seats upon the Rostrum. But generally it
has not been accepted; and was led to omit it at
our recent Commencement because it might be re-
garded as intimating wish to have our exercises
noticed in the papers, and because l knew that ef
forts were being made privately and unostentatiousy
to seat them upon the Rostrum.
Your Reporter, | hope, is aware, that, on account
of the peculiar state Of the fashions the ladies noo
occupy the whole Chapel, with the exception of the
Rostrum, and few seats appropriated to the Band
and the Graduating Class: that all the students
thrust out: tnat the ROStrum is so crowded. that
the speakers have scarcely room to pass and repass
and that members of the Board of Trustees cannot
sometimes find place to witness the exercises
Now all this Messrs Editors, we regret very much.
We regret the size Of the Chapel the state of the
fashions the confusion and disorder incident to so
large gathering, and most of all the sights and
oversghts which may unwittingly occur. But we
cannot always prevent these unpleasant things Ad-
ANS fair must be attended to, let the fashions
be what they may or a storm would soon gather
over our devoted heads to which your Reporters
with all deference) IS as nothing.
trust have said enough-enough to satisfy the
Editors of the Standard, who have, or former occa
sions occupied seats upon our Rostrum-enough to
satisfy the public, and may I not hope, enough to
moyy, if not satisfy, your injured, but trust for
| giving Reporter. Respectfully,
W. M. WINGATE.
P. 81 am reminded that the Associate Editor
| who was present at our previous Commencement
and who was furnished with as comfortable scat
upon the Rostrum could give him, found it
necessary to take flight through window, in order
to avoid the heat of the room. l hope that the As
sociate, at least will be able to defend us at the
| Standard office. w. M. w.
