BRUNSWICK. July O

BRUNSWICK, July o.
1t is lamentable fact that for several years
past no class has graduated from Bowdoin with
feelings OF warm esteem for the Faculty of the
college. In no class have these feelings been
more wanting and the opposite sentiments more
strongly cherished than in the one which grad
uated yesterday. In this instance these long
continued differences have been especially ag-
gravated by the unhappy Glass Day controver-
sy. For many years it has been the custom at
Bowdoin to hold Glass Day after Commence
ment. Quite number, of years ago a partci-
pant in these exercises took this opportunity to
make ascurrilous and unwarranted attack upon
some members of the Faculty. This suggested
the deslrability of some restraint According
ly two years ago the Boards changed Com
mencement from Wednesday to Thursday, with
the design of bringing Glass Day on the former
day when the students were still under the col
lege government This was extremely unpal-
atable to the boys, who disliked to have their
liberty curtailed even though they had no in
tention Of abusing it, Inspired by the insur-
rectionary atmosphere of last year the class Of
"a voted to have Glass Day on Friday at all
hazards. and made preparations for it. The
Faculty concluded that it was too late to pre-
Yentit and allowed them to do so. They early
intimated. however, TO the class of rs that it
would not be allowed in their cases, but that
Glass Day must come before Commencement
or not at all. The class were divided the ma
jority favored Glass Day on Friday despite the
Faculty, and it was SO voted. On learning this
the Faculty summoned number of the most
influential members of the class and threaten
ed them with suspension if they would not
pledge themselves to haye nothing to do with
Glass Day on the college grounds. They were
obliged to do this, but the persistent students
engaged Lemont Hall for their exercises. al
though it was not definitely known until yes
terday whether they would dare hold them even
then. By 2 O'Clock this afternoon Lemont Hall
was well filled with an audience eager to hear
the rich fund of humor and gossip Glass Day
usually affords. Previous to the class entering
the hall Chambers Band charmed the audi
enee with some of their most entertaining mu-
sic. Precisely at 2, the Marshal, Seth L. Lar
rahee, led the class officers upon the stage fol-
lowed by the remainder of the class The ex-
ercses for the afternoon were as follows:
