Cleveland daily leader. [volume] ([Cleveland, Ohio]) 1865-1873, 1866-08-20

niversaries, and share in its literary testiv-
tiles, are hereby notified thai rare attract
ions invite their presence this week. Prep
arations have been made which warrant the
expectation that the reading and speaking
of the two graduating classes will be of an
unusually high order. A new arrangement,
removing the desk behind which the young
essayists and orators have heretofore stood
half hidden from view-and securing d
more spacious and open platform, will of it
self secure far better effects from the several
performances.
On Tuesdsy afternoon the splendid annual
exhibition of the Ladies' Departmental
thing of beauty" which once seen, as a joy
forever'-will be made in the Great Church,
and a series ofsparkling essays will be read
by the more than twenty young ladies who
graduate, and who are resolved to be both
seen and heard. The address to the alumni
will occupy the evening.
The forenoon of Wednesday will be de-
voted to the o~rations and essays of the Col
lege graduates, who, it is expected, will
fully sustain the well earned reputation of
their long line of predecessors on the same
platform, both in literary and oratorical exc
cution.
The afternoon will unfold a new ceremo-
NAL for 0berlin, which would give eclat to
the Commencement occasion The inaugar-
alton of the President elect, Rev. J. Il. Fair
child, D. D. 1t isunderstood that a process
sion, consisting of the trustees, faculty and
students, will march from the chapel to the
church, and thatth venerable Father Keep
will o~ficiate in behalf of the trustees, in a
brief address and i~naugurating prayer, after
which the President will deliver an inaug-
ural address, which will be the browning at
traction of the day. It will undoubtedly be
a full and finished performance.
The musical concert, which never fails
to draw and to delight, comes off on We'd
nesdsy evening.
We presume that Oberlin will be full of
people. A Commencement dinner will be
served at the new Ladies' Boarding Hall, to
which the alumni, professional, and other
distinguished visitors, will be invited, to
meet the trustees, professors and students.
