CLIFFORD DRAMATIC TROUPE.

The Clifford Dramatic Company did
not have as large houses IN this city as
their merits deserved. The play of Sat
urday night gave such general satisfac-
ton that it secured much larger one on
Monday. Had the troupe put in an ap-
pearance earlier in the season there can
be no doubt that they would have aud
fences which would have made their visit
profitable and induced them to repeat
it at an early day.
Mr.. Clifford's fine manly appearance
and deep, expressive voice peculiarly fit
him for success on the stage His elo-
cutionary powers are superior TO his
powers Of pantomime, though in the latter
he is by no means inferior. He excels
particularly III those passages requiring
energy Of expression and manifestation
of intense passion; though his voice and
manner are also susceptible of expressing
gentle pathos and benevolent feeling.
MISS " ottS fOtSt iClildih iCi Ito
purity and resonance. Few persons are
gifted with more perfect articulation or
with a voice more clear and ringing.
Her voice is not susceptible of that mod
ulation which enables her to express
tenderness. Her voice has in it a ring
of defiance and scorn even when her bos-
ON is made to heave with tender emo
toms. Her flashes of indignation when
made to feel her dependent position as
the orphan, Jane Eyre, seemed to have
much of nature in them. She is better
fitted by nature TO act the Spartan moth
er than the tender Juliet.
Both plays have considerable literary
merit and are not devoid OF scenes inter
esting and affecting, besides keeping the
most prominent characters of the play
pretty constantly before the audience.
We bespeak for this company a large
audience in case they should conclude to
repeat their visit to Manitowoc in the
future. They are certainly entitled to
support on account of the chasteness OF
their play and the excellence of their
acting.

Respectfully
G.. Il. HARRISON.

THERE are quite number Of changes
being made in the faculties of the Nor
mai schools of this state. Nothing can
be more detrimental to the efficiency of
schools, normal or common, than this
restless spirit of change. 1t is probable
that the board of Regents may have
cause for their action, but the people are
disposed to believe that they are growing
too autocratic in the administration of
matters contided to their charge, and are
more inclined to be guided by little per
sonal enmities and a maintenance of as
sumed official dignity than by the educa-
tional needs of the schools Which they
manage. The Board of Regents should
be taught that Normal schools are state
institutions designed to prepare teachers
for their calling and not contributory to
the dignity of those under whose man
agement they are placed.

We are in receipt of the Ashland Press
containing a column headed "The Hell
Box" filed with the ''double compost
ion' OF editors who visited Fifeld's office.
Hurlbut fares badly or else lie ''set up"
in Choctaw. We presume Col. Watrous
or F. d. Coe will be forced to fight a
duel Of some kind with the editor of the
Waupun Leader. "The Hell Box" is
beautifully variegaed and looks like a
section Of Pandemonium. Hoxie makes
Sam Fifield a printing Office, we suppose
because Sam is receptacle for pie and
because he places in form what the
boys set up.

MANITovoc, Wis, june 30, 1878.
ED. PILoT:
As many of your readers have been
connected with Lawrence University as
students, or in other ways, some account
of the recent commencement exercises
may not be out Of place in your columns.
Examinations of all classes were finished
by Tuesday. Your correspondent did
not ascertain who were the recipients of
the various prizes.
Tuesday evening the college societies
were addressed by DR.. Thomas of Chica-
so. Wednesday forenoon occurred the
reunions of the two gentlemen's literary
societies. Their halls have recently been
enlarged and refurnished, and now they
of themselves are nearly worth trip to
Appleton to see. 1t is safe TO say no
other literary society halls il the west
equal them, and but few in the east.
The societies are very prosperous both
in regard to numbers and esprit d,t
corps.
In the afternoon the ladies' societies
held their meetings which were we'll at
tended, and as the roll was called, be-
ginning with the first class it was quite
evident that the ladies as well as the
gentlemen knew how to make i'm
prompt speeches both witty and wise.
In the evening occurred the Alumni
Meeting presided over by J. S. Anderson
Esq, of this city, President. An excel
was delivered by I. L. Houser of The
Christian Statesman. Short speeches
by j. \. Owens, Esq, of Chicago, ]. H.
Houser of Fond du Lac, Rev. S. Clithero
and Rev. w. Stowe, both of GAINESVILLE.
Rev. FL. Colnan of Milwaukee. Com
mencement came upon Thursday NOM
ing. The graduating class numbered
twelve. The exercises were is follows.
"Salutatory," S. I. Fisher. Grafton,
''The Illusiveness of Ambition" Mary
N. Orbison, Appleton. Grafton, "Our
Responsibility for our Inheritance" H.
A. Albers, Chiffon. Essay, ''The Spirit
of the Age" Olive Amelia Clark, Apple
ton. Grafton, 1.-The Monument, the
Laurels, and the Cold" A. c. McComb,

bella E. Smith, Wateska, Ill.

tory Addresses, Minnie b. Sawyer, APP

While all these were very creditable I
would award the prize to Earl &. Smith
of Watseka. Music was furnished by
the Temple of Honor Band. The regu-
lar commencement dinner and reception
10y Pres. and Mrs. Steele in the evening
concluded the great day Of the year in
the Appleton calendar.
The college is prospecting, and is doing
excellent work. If any of the young
people of Manitowoc County are intend
ing to go away to school the coming
year, they will do no better in our own
State than to go to Lawrence University.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.


The commencement exercises OF the
High School were attended by an audi.
ence numbering about 600. The assem-
bly, room was tastefully decorated for the
occasion. 4 large harp framed with
garlands of evergreens adorned the wall
back of the speakers stand. In the in
terspaces was the class motto, SEARCH,
Think, Act" and also the year '1S7S. u
Wrcaths of flowers arranged in various
parts of the room made the air fragrant.
The graduating class numbers nine
1t Is the third class graduated since the
adoption of a course of study and it is
also the largest. 1t consists of six boys
and three girls, all of whom are residents
OF the city, but two.
This class has acquired quite a repu-
tation for studious habits and earnest
application. All who were present at
the exercises came with the expectation
OF hearing something which would lie.
dOuud to the credit of the school and we
venture the opinion that none went away
disappointed. The class acquitted itself
50 creditably that we regret the necessity
which eompels us to speak OF it collect
lively and not of the members respective
~. We designed taking notes and Civ
ing synopses of orations and essays but
found our position inf .vorable for the
purpose. We do not dare to trust our
memory in the matter and so must speak
in general terms.
Each essay and Grafton gave evidence
OF maturity of mind far beyond what one
would naturally expect in high school
class, and an originality of thought
which would do credit to those who had
passed the simply acquisitive stage OF
life. There We're many beautiful thoughts
expressed in language fitted to the senti-
ment, many that were marked by virile
strength. On the whole the exercises
displayed considerable literary merit and
the delivery, barring a few cases of in
distinct utterance was very fair.
Each member of the class gave evil
dence of ample preparation and careful
training. There was but little, if any,
hesitancy in delivery and a scarcely per-
ceptible manifestation Of embarrassment.
The modest demeanOr Of the class won
the respect of the audience as much as
did the excellence of their work. Mr.
! Torrison's remarkably clear and sonor,
ious voice set off his Grafton to the very
best advantage. One could scarcely
repel the illusion that he was
listening to an experienced lecturer
in this modest school boy as his
voice rung out with all the precision OF
utterance and emphasis of practiced
speaker. Miss Wells delivered the salu.
tatory and Mr.. Prochazka pronounced
the yaledictory.
OF course there were things which
might be criticised unfavorably, but that
We remember that these were the first
efforts of pupils fresh fnom school. One
thing was noticeable, however, that the
illustrations employed by the class were
all drawn from circumscribed source,
either from Shakespeare or Caesar.
The award of diplomas was made by
Dr.. Briggs in happily conceived speech
to each member of the class.
