: The recent annual Commencement
of the State University of Iowa, at
Iowa City, was signalized by the in
augeratiOn of Prof. George Thacher
as president of the institution, and
by literary exercises of highly in
%teresting character.
The University which has been
established only few years, is now
in a highly prosperous condition.
At the recent Commencement de-
d. grees were conferred in the Law De-
partment on twenty,siX young gem
tlemen. The Medical Department,
first opened at the beginning of the
late session, numbered thirty.eight
students; and the Normal and Aca-
deniical schools comprised more than
four hundred undergraduates.
At the ceremony Of Inauguration
addresses were made in addition to
the inaugural discourse of President
Thatcher, by Governor Merrill, rep
resenting the State of Iowa, Mr.. G..
w. Slagle on behalf of the Board of
the Board Of Regents, and Professor
Leonard for the Fucalty.
In the exercises of Academical De-
partment it is noteworthy that the
degree OF "Baehelor of Philosophy"
was conferred on two young ladies,
one of whom read an essay on "Wo.
mans Edncati0n,n and was cOmpli~
mented with bushels Of boquetsn-'
so says the account-by the delighted
audience.
The report of the Committee of Ex-
aminers in Classical Instruction rep
resents that branch of the university
curriculum as being all that could be
desired. The people. of Iowa have
reason TO regard with pride the emil
nent success which has thus far at
tended their efforts at establishing a
seat of learning of tue highest class.
