Az s; o'clock OH Thursday evening, the
Society OF Alumnae was address by the. Rev
Prof Duncan. Of Wofford College Subject
Education" To have an idea of the
worth of his, address, one would have tc
have heard the whole of it. There wa.
nothing supernuous, nor was there anything
that could be criticised in it. 1t would dc
Prof Duncan on injury TO try to give al
analysis. With this closed The exercises
and every one seemed to feel fully repaid fol
having attended. One will observe on look
ing over the programme, that there was ns
effort at display, but the whole of the exer
cises servo us mirror which reflects til,
worth and merit of the institution, and til,
taste and ability of the faculty under who's
management the College is conducted. o
the seven graduates our little town boasts o
two of the fairest.
The young ladies, by unanimous vote
gave Mr.. w. w. Brown the honor OF actic,
Chief Marshal, and Mcssrs. Mid. Prince an,
and Frank Darby Assistant Marshal. On
little town has resumed its hitherto quie
monotony, only "a little nc so" since tn
departure of the young ladies. ts
