The Diagnotl,iai literary society will
celebrate its frrty-sixth anniversary at
the opera house next Friday evening.
There is trouble at the college over the
proposition to hold the commencement
exercises at the opera house. The seniors
have gone to the expense of having invita-
tions engraved by Tiffany of New York,
which arc said to bc the most stylish and
hi"h-tOncd ever got up by any gradual
ing class at Franklin 4 Marshall. They
have been engraved with "Fulton Opera
House." and the class have engaged the
opera house from Mr.. Yecker. The faculty
are reported to be against the establish
ment of 4 precedent that is calculated to
take the chief interest of the commence
mcnt exercises away from the campus and
the college buildings on the other hand
it is argued that the opera house possesses
advantages over the college chapel, where
the oratiOns have been delivered hereto
fore, being so much larger and having
better accommodations, and being besides
situated in the central part of the city and
in consequence more convenient for the
people of the city. Divergent views of the
board of trustees and by the alumni,
while the class with 4 single exception are
''solid" for the opera house. How tho
affair will terminate is Il matter Of con
lecture.
