The essays read by the different members of the
class were of an entirely different character
from those usually delivered at college or
school commcncements, being devoid of any
circumlocuton of language or attempts at
oratorical iouiSh. They were written in clear
and forciblc style, and the subjects were handled
in a manner that showed the thorough ac-
quainiance Of the students with the matters OF
which they treated, The theses were admirably
illustrated by mechanical drawings. The stu
