greater number Of the Junior class. The
exercises consisted Of the farewell address
to the class by Prof Palmer, followed BY
remarks by DR.. Fuller Of tho Me- Me,lical
Assoctatioa. which wsrs very interesting,
and served to inspire to new vigor those
gentlemen present who were so soon to
take upon themselves responsibilities that
none but true men aud diligent scholars
should. and In which none but those who
devote their life to their work can prosper.
DIR. Palmer spoke TO the class as one upon
which he looked with pride, and as one
that in the future would bring honor upon
the school.
Prayer was offered by Prof. Small.
There followed words of advice and en-
couragement which were offered to the
class by President Chamberlain, they were

yours, when once a fatal step has been
taken. It cannot be retraced. when once the
lamp of life has gone out ii cannot be
reiit again no more forever. A solemn
thosght. A ssd reality" Many beautiful
expressions were made that might be re-
peated; enough to say they came from
Gov. Chamberlain, and the reader can
Judge of their value. Then there was the
awardin: of diplomas. and the following
