Commencement Exercises.


defamation medals. Cadet C. j. ThOmp-
son, of st. Landry was awarded the former
and A. j. Thompson, of East Feliciana, the
latter.
The members Of the Louisiana State Semi
nary Ugly Club then formed in procession
headed by splendid banner, with the In
scription "Deforn,itas Signum Ig''ata" upon
it, which, in plain English, means that the
uglier man is the more sense he has got.
| AS Jaeger's band struck up the grand march,
| the Uglies took the hint and made hall
circait of the institution to the platform
provided for the display of their exercises
when the programme was uniquely carried
out amid the cheers and laughter OF the
hundreds assembled for the purpose of wit
Messing the ceremonies. We are sorry
that want of space forbids our publishing
the programme.
Address to the Alumai.
On the following day at IL A. NJ, the
annual address to the Society of Alumni
was delivered by Mr.. Samuel H. Lewis, OF
! Baton Rouge. This gentleman graduated
/ from the University last commencement
and is now one of the joint principals OF the
| Orleans Military High School.
He began by welcoming the former grad
yates back to their alma mater. and after
reviewing the stirring events that had taken
place in the world-how much history had
been made in the first year of the active
| life, contrasted the disturbed condition OF
| Europe with our own country, and re-
marked that, although we enjoyed the
| actual blessings of peace, we still had our
own troubles and trials-thus showing that
| there was yet work to be done by all TO
restore the country to its original condition
of prosperity and happiness; that whlle the
battles of blood and carnage were being
| waged in Europe we had the battle of labor
to fight, and that it behooved all of US to
prepare for it.
The speaker then showed how the Uni
versity of Louisiana was preparing the
youth of the State for that battle. He
then welcomed the new graduating class to
the ranks of the Society of Alumni as new
| recruits in the great battle of life, and after
thanking the professors and officers OF the
| University for the advantages he had en-
ioyed under their instruction, closed with
a few appropriate remarks of love and adj
miration of his alma mater.
