The care and taste shown in the selection
and preparation of these exercises is the
best possible evidence of careful and judi
cious training on the part of the teachers of
the Institution.
The o~rations were carefully prepared and
very well delivered. The recitations of
Misses Cady and Kimberly were both ex-
cellent.
The essays of Misses Norton and Humis-
ton were well written and very clearly and
distinctly read. The tableaux were all
good; the two last being especially fine. The
music was furnished by the members of the
societies, with very little outside assistance,
and was excellent, both in respect to selec-
ton and execution.
The proceeds derived from the entrance
fee to the entertainment are to be devoted
to the University Heights Congregational
