vocslization and Of which her hearers would
{ fam have heard another specimen.
Z Pres. Trousdaie introduced in a very coul-
+ plnAentary ma. Aer. Stlpt. W. II. Foufe. Of
I Memphis, who read brief and pithy essay
Z on the Ancient Languages. The tenor Of
his argument was to exhibit the -Lost com
I mon grounds Of opposition to the study of
. these languages "a co.naIoa shoots to show
/ The origin Of such opposition. He further
+ exhibited the necessity under modern edu-
cational conditions, for making these Ian
/ guages a means and not an end, or an aux
Hilary to English as means of silencing
| opposition and attaining the best results.
Mrs Jerome Hill, OF Memphis, Mrs \.
! T. AicNeal and Messrs. Knox and Newton
+ Polk, OF Bolivar, electrified the Institute
with a vocal quartette. With voices in
! perfect accord, it Is no wonder that this Sc
lection was most exquisite and provoked a
round of applause, which confined until the
/ two ladies came forward and sang a Duet,
which if possible, excelled the first effort in
/ beauty of execution and evoked equal en-
/ thusiasm.
/ The exercises were continued by an ad-
dress by the Rev. J ohm Park on ''Self-made
! Men" Eloquent and earnest as he is at all
| times, this subject seemed to inspire Mr..
/ Park with enthusiasm which found express
sion in an effort of great finish and power
His address was argumentative, logical and
brilliant, boldly attacking many of the fall
| lacies which obtain as to the class of which
he treats ond arguing in favor OF broad
and catholic culture as furnishing the only
true basis of individual or national greatness.
1t was listened to with the profound inter
est and attention which its merit deserved.
