FIom Our Own Correspondent


wish that their whole lives may be bright as To
auspcious day which has witnessed fleir graduation
The weather Is dsglfal, ana 50 cool that crowded
church is not uncomfortable during tire long exerases
Of a commencement-day. Tsis has insured L.rg,
aud more quiet audience than ordinarily finds 90
such occasions. AT an early hour the ooIere -bsR,
whose noisy Office has not been without It's tenors,
called with more inviting sound tie stuIents ard
alumni 70 assemble in Of the Lyceam building
before proceeding TO the church. After the ususl
waiting the procession was formed by CLASSES and,
headed By band VI music marched TO tue Centre
Chuch, where the commencement exercises have beea
held for many years past. Ater marching and h4iBs
for few lines and, il must be added az very shors
distances, the procession arrived at ,he church. his
hot well 10 lie critical m things, but looked 10
see If the military drill and spirit which have been
work among had improved the c0ilegiats et, lie OF
marching. But il be confessed that no great
change appeared, and those WHO Lad learned by reIo
that the college professors Were rsparng foe tbs war,
and expected If reGmert,s, TT least predss
movements, must have been disappointed at toe pre-
yaing negl lent civilian tramp. On arriving d. tue
church we found the galleries filed with ladies, wai-
ing TO bestow their choicest attentions and smiles on
the successful candidates for academic hOnors. as The
President walled up he isle, with bio long, flowing,
black robe, aud sested himself 20 preside over
OCCASION TX Marvel woaid have said that he Looked
more than ever like the model of :. schollr.
