record made by the above college, invariably look
forward to each returning commencement as

WONDER then, that the attendance yesterday upon
the 11Sth commencement drew to the Academy OF
Music immense throng Of the elite OF the city, OF
which the fair sex formed very large and, at the
the same time, critical part. Rarely at college
commencement has there been gathered within the
walls OF the superb edice large and distinguished
an assemblage. One OF the finest features OF the
day the floral display, which eclipsed anything,
cid collegians say, that has ever characterized a
commencement The students were happy, their
parents were rej0iced, and the professors, who
have lab0red assduously to train the young idea,"
were unusually pleased with the applause that
greeted their pupils The exercises consumed
several hours but Notwithstanding the heat, which
was somewhat modified by a vigorous working Of
the fashionable fans in the hands OF fair women,
the major part Of the audience 'sat the exercises
through"
