piano solo. "Rindo Capricioso, by Miss
Foster, piano Duet from Gottschalk, by
Misses Frarv and Foster: the charming
song Come in and STINT the door" by

The efforts of the graduates were with
out exception very crediiabe to themselves
and TO the seminary. The salutatory
"The Work of the American Scholar" by
5. c. Campbell, was noted for some prac-
teal sense. The Grafton on Charles
Sumner" by Stanton was a scholarly and
comprehensive production that of w W
Campbell ON "PatriOtsm of the Failure, "
was full of originality and eloquently de-
livered. The essay of Miss White,
entitled, earth must be rent before gems
can be found was Il very excellent one and
well received; that of Miss Tilden on
Light was the best read, and those of
Miss Harding and Miss Frary were worthy
of especial mention. The "Class Chroni-
cles' by Miss Rich and the "Class Prophe-
cies' by Miss Aiken created much amuse-
ment by their personalities and sarcasm.
The valedlctory by Miss Foster was very
appropriate and given with much feeling.
At the conclusion the diplomas were
presented to the class by the president of
the corporation, who also took occasion
to speak Of the resignation of the princi-
pal, Prof. F. NJ. Halves, and of Hon.
Harvey Tilden as treasurer.
