COMMENCEMENT
College Commencement and the other
Anniversaries celebrated in connection
and during the week, form an epoch in
Middlebury life. The occasion often
serves to mark the era from which time
is reckoned, like the Olympian Games in
ancient Greece. 1t is time for re.
unions, for congratulations, for dress and
general dissipation The gathering at
the seventy. fourth anniversary of the
College held last week. was perhaps less
numerous than at some previous ones /;
but the exercises were excellent and the
interest was kept up to the close. The
number Of Alumni present and register.
ing, was greater than for several years,
though 1.-THE smalcr number Of farmers
and others from the immediate vicinity
caused the conccnlment Of this fact from
those who only observed specifically.
Last week we gave an account of the
Baccalaureate and the anniversary ex.
ercises of the Philadelphia Society. On
Monday evening Prof w, G, Russell,
vice.president Of Cornell University, dc.
