day, Aug. 18th, the Fifteenth Anniversary
Of the Theological Society took place at the
0berlin Church. The exercises passed off
very we'll. The productions, for the most
part, eyinced careful preparation and gave
indications Of their previous careful train
ing in the College curriculum" We could
see something better than mere nominal
ministers to be, in the young men before US.
Their field of usefulness is large one--may
they prove themselves worthy of their cause

Benedietion BY Prof Morgan.
On Saturday afternoon, Aug. 10th, the au-
dience were again assembled to hear the
anniversary exercises of the Phi Delta soci-
ctr. They were quite entertaining on the
whole the only failing we were disposed to
notice was slight monotony in the charac-
ter of the orations-a spice of variety would
have made them more agreeable to the mass
of their auditors. The orations were very
well delivered, as well as carefully prepared.

The last of the Anniversaries for the year
occurred this afternoon MONDAY, Aug. 20,
that Of the Phi Kappi Pi Society. We
thought the exercises more than usually in
teresting-they passed off with spirit, and
were more varied than those of the Phi Del
II. P. S. Boyd brought down the house at
the close, with humorous poem. The class
and Society songs are an item in the ar
rangements this year, and contribute no lit
tie to the interest of the exercises. We give
below the order of exercises:

BESEDIcrIoN-By Rev. Mr. Branch
The Anniversary Exercises have all been
furnished with most excellent music, and on
the whole, we think would have been a
credit to any College in the country.
Oberlin does not mean to be in the rear of
her sister colleges in the appliances of thor
ough education, and We think the time will
come when it will be conceded that the In
stitutiOns of the West are, and can be sue
eessful rivals of those in the East The
young men who make up our western schools
for the most part, are those who study for
the actual benefit they may derive from it
losing sight of a nominal course of study al
most entirely. Being used to labor on the
farms and in the shops during their youth,
thus (many even after arriving at manhood)
enter the college for that discipline which
they find 50 manifestly wanting for their
life labor, and study with a definite object
before them, thus making practical, if not
SO highly cultivated men. Prosperity at
tend them. Yours,
EPOPTEs.
