Mr.. Harris Grafton was a presentation of
the parallel between physical and moral up
rightness, the causes which produce them
and the necessity of both.
Mr.. Totman's Grafton on " forts those
which guard against moral as well as ply
steal evil, produced quite a favorable i'm
preston, Notwithstanding an unfortunate
hesitation, the cause of which we are in
formed was entirely beyond Mr.. Totman's
control.
Mr.. Etrikin's Grafton, at Moves, Not
withstandiDg,' was a well and highly
wrought presentation of the events W
Illuminated the truth of this saying Il
Calico. The views of this speaker were on
the right side, for hyperbole is always pop
ular, as the applause of the audience indi-
Gated.
Miss Wright's essay was pleasant and
well written, but unfortunately could not be
heard by a majority of the audience.
Mr.. Smiths Grafton was a vehemeRtly argu-
ment, showing the necessity of the enforce
ment of the laws, the punishment of crime,
aud then applying the deduction to our case,
as a nation, showing where We had failed
in what should have been done.
Reform and Her Martyrs" by Mr.. Weed,
was a well written and well conceived
effort. 1t was delivered with force and en-
ergy.
Mr.. Biddle's poem was one offanciful and
poetic conception, worked with a success
quite creditable to the writer. The beauty
and novelty of the plot entirely covered up
all little inaccuracies of rhyme.
Miss Robinson's essay pleasant and
taking sketch of the great worlds commo-
tion-was quite successful, and the more so
because Miss Robinson succeeded better in
making herself heard than most ladies do.
Mr.. Hamilton made one of the most sue
cessful efforts of the day in thought, in com
position and in delivery. This exercise was
most successful.
Mr.. Mack's Grafton was marked for clear
ness and originality of thought, combined
with lucid expression, to make one of the
most interesting exercises of the list.
Mr.. Chaplin, the Valedictorian, performed
his part with grace and dignity. His open
ing remarks were pleasant and appropriate.
and his address to the teachers was of such
a kind as to remove all unpleasant effects
ofpersonality which such exercises so often
excite.
Taken as a whole, the exhibition was ola
high order. Evident care and desire to
please, marked the entire list, and the audi
ence vent away feeling that they had been
well repaid for their trouble.
The entering class is thirty-six in num-
Der. It's standard of scholarship, as we are
informed, is quite high, and in every way
it promises to be no inconsiderable acces-
sion to the collegiate brotherhood. Success
to its members individually and collective.
