and who bore conspicuous and highly cred.
table part In the exercises Of the day, did
not compete for honors in his division as he
has been connected but short time With the

rank with the first Of his class, and bids fail
to be a formidable competitor for the d" first

On the whole the exercises reflected great
credit not only upon the scholars but upon
