commencement Exercises of the Easl Ten.
ncssee Wesleyan University.
! Quite number of friends and patrons of
the East Tennessee Wesleyan University,
were present at Athens at the closing aud
commencement exercises of that institu-
ton, and from one Of the members of the
Knoxville delegation, we gather some few
facts in regard to the exercises. The pro-
gramme was well selected and executed.
almost to perfection, while the Athens
Brass Band discussed some most excellent
music, and Miss Lou. Howarter, formerly
of this city, favored the audience with
some of her unequalled solos. The con-
testants for the prizes all performed their
being taken among the five judges to de-
liver the prize to the Senior class, tina
not two of the judges voted for the same
person, and that it was with difficulty a
choice was made at all, which finally re-
suited i'll giving $50 gold medal to w. r.
Turner.
In the junior class the same difficulty
occurred, and in fact the judges could not
come to decision at all between Hugh
Taylor and Virgil Turner, when they
finally decided to give the medal to MUCH
L. Taylor, and to have similar one made
at Hope Miller's, of this city, for Virgil
Turner, his effort being considered fully
equal to that of Mr.. Taylor.
Miss Rode Taylor, sister to the success
f1l contestant in the junior class, received
the prize, $40 gold medal, for the best es-
say. She, too had hard struggle to coin,
as all the essays were pronounced excel
lent. 1t was difficult for the judges to de-
eide. es@EEB hnes g kA4s
Mr.. Robert Taylor, young student,
made very feeling and most excellent
speech, moving his audience to tears. His
subject was, 1.-THE old, old Story" or the
rise and fall of empires. tREf5WN
The Trustee of the University conferred
the honorary title of Doctor of Divinity
upon Prof. Dean, President of the Univer-
sity, and reelected him for another year.
They have also made arrangements to pay
off the debt resting upon the institution,

The Knoxville delegation speaks in
terms OF the highest praise of the Athenian
hospitality, as well as of the splendid en-
tertainment they enjoyed in listening to
the essays of the young ladies and the ora
tons and declamations of the young men.
