The exercises of the graduating class of the Scientific School, which took place at North Sheffield Hall last evening, were largely attended notwithstanding the other attractions. President Hayes, President Porter, and Professor Brush the executive officer of the school, occupied the platform At the conclusion of the exercises, which consisted of the reading of theses by nine members of the graduating class, President Porter in few well chosen words congratula- ted the class on the completion of their un- der graduate course.
 The programme was as follows: 1. Edwin McNeil Rogers Dynamic Engi- neering), Central City, Col. Design for Gravity Road. 9 Walter Hitchcock (Biology), Cheshire. On the Nervous System of Diemictylus vir- idescens.
 8. Harry Osborn Darlington Dynamic En- ] gineering) New Haven. On the Steam h. ! jector.
 4. George Edward Goodspeed (select), East Haddam. On the Population of the United States. 5. Carl Eugene Munger Biology) Water l town. On the Digestive System of Bascan- | ion constructor. 6. David Brown Lewis Civil Engineering, Utica, N. Y On the Belgian System of Cable Towing as used on the Erie Canal. | T. Wiley Solon McCrea (Select), Chicago, III. On the Problem of Transportation. 8. Dwight Porter (Civn Engineering, Hartford On Storage Reservoir, No. ?, at, | Pennington, Ct. | 9. Frank McA1pfne Collin (select), Penn l Yan, N. Y. On the Tenure of Land in Ire | land.
 It should be borne in mind that these | theses are not prepared for public aud l fence, but are presented in the final examina- | ton by the candidates for degrees, as evidence of their ability to investigate selected | themes. This explains the technical aspect of the programme. In every case much the larger part of the thesis Is omitted 1n the public reading The candidates for degrees, with the sub 1 jects of their graduation theses were as fol- lows
