Fifth ANIMAL lCosnmcneemcnf, Ju1e
I3, 1870.
The fifth annual commencement of this
Seminary began yesterday in the chapel.
AT an early hour the large room was full of
the elite and fashion of the city, and
strangers from different States called here
to see their daughters take the highest
honors of this celebrated institution. DR..
Ward read the 14Sth Psalm, and offered
prayer. He preserved throughout the day
the most admirable order, every word of
each essay being distinctly heard by the
whole assembly. The young ladies who
read, did themselves, and their parents,
and their teachers, great credit. We have
never seen more self control, better elocu-
ton, or more grace and womanly bearing.
There was not failure, not a hesitation,
throughout the day. The whole panorama
of beauty, intellect and style, of solid
thought and poetic fancy moved along for
three hours, enchanting that large assem-
bly,. Rare flowers graced the tables and
showers of boquets evinced the deep inter-
est of admirers. e-s.. q,
The music was such as we should have
expected from such experienced and &c
complished tutors as Mrs. Rcbertson, Miss
Reese, Mrs Wilcox, Mrs. Auchinleck, Mrs.
Craig, Misses Elliott and Hudson.
DIR. Blackie read beautiful poem, writ
ten by one of the graduates
! A pleasing incident was the presentation
of an elegant volume to Miss Ha zen,
Knoxville, for attention to music, by her
teacher 81
The tone and style in which everything
was done throughout the day commanded
our highest respect, and they indicate
some of the hidden causes Of the success
of this seminary which may well be pointed
to as an honor to the South.
