very large and highly respectable. and the
propriety exhibited at all the exercises very
gratifying. The competitors in declamation

4 As to punctuality in the discharge of their

distinction. Mr.. R. w. Means of the Ju-

or from Recitation when it was possible for

wept at leaving behind will be ready to go
with him the next time he tries to part from
her. The degree Of A. B. was also conferred
