although the whole number acquitted themselves credit
ably We observed that the majority Of these speakers
generally graduate. Hence there was a maturity OF
thought and manly ygor about their productions not
evidenced In other insttutiOns In this institution
no Baccalaureate sermon is delivered. In its place

address TO the graduates indicating the great end OF their
Academic training. From the mild paterna guidance
