At the conclusion of this distribution,
which was conducted amid successive
glances of delight from the fortunate ones
above named Col. A. M. WADDELL de-
livered the Commencement Address. To do
justice to this excellent, though simple, adj
dress wauidrequire its publication entire.
Its excellence we attribute in great part to
its beautiful simplicity and appropriateness
to the occasion. There was one leading fea-
ture which peculiarly stamped tan effort
to inspire these young Cadets with desire
to be gentlemen in. the full and honorable
sense of the term. The address gave much
pleasure to all who heard it, which was
testified by enthusiastic applause at its
termination.
Thus closed the Exercises, and the audi
ence dispersed animated with a feeling of
pleasure at the manner in which they had
been entertained.
