The closing exercises OF this deserved!
popular institution began with the writer
examinations, on May 80, and closed will
the commencement, on Tuesday morning
June 6. -
The number Of visitors attending these
exercises was unusually large this year, be
ing greater perhaps than ever before In thu
history Of the college. The increasing in
terest manifested by our own citizens. al
we'll IS by persons from abroad, is evidence
Of the growing popularity of the college, and
Prof. kerdolf is deserving of great praise
for the manner In which he has conducted
the affairs of the college during the past two
years.
The public examinations held at the col.
lsge chapel on Friday n Saturday, une 81
anu Sd, did honor 10 both teachers aud pupils,
and gave the frie nds of the college some idea
Of the thoroughness of the work that had
been done during the year. We would like
to call special attention 10 some Of the classes,
but space will not allow of 1t at present. The
exhibition Of the primary department took
place Saturday evening, June 3, In the col
isge chapel. Tn house was crowded to Its
utmost capacity. aud some who came were
unable to get into the house at all. Notwith-
standing the crowded condition of the room.
every thing moved on the satisfaction OF all
concerned.
Miss Kelley. the teacher in this depart
ment, is = faithful and conscientious teach
er. and the patrons may rest assured that
children entrusted to her care Will receive
all possible attention.
ANNUAL CONCERT, JUN 5-s p. r.. ,
The annual concert Of the college Is al
ways looked onward to with q grsatliegree
Of pleasure. The crowded hall, upon the
night Of this concert, gave evidence that the
people hal not forgotten the pleasure A.
forded them Upon former occasions, but had
come again to be RECALLED with sweet music
and joyous song.
The programme 10 an unusually good one.
and each young lady performed her part
we'll.
Where there was marked excellence upon
the part OF ell. 1t would be manifest tnjus-
tics to single opt any Que as the subject OF
special comment. suffice 1t TO say that sew
ersl OF the singers, however, exhibited rare
vocal powers, and others In handling the
plano showed wonderful skill.
Mrs. Foote being called upon to sing, did
SO In her usual pleasant way, and was called
out y second time by the well pleased au-
dIencs.
Miss Hollis also sang, at the request of
many friends, and her effort was heartily
applsuded. +
BY request, Miss Crosthwsit reclted a
selection, which was we'll received by the
audience. ,. I.
The ''DriIi' by the class In Callsthenics
was something new. and the storm OF ap-
plsuss at tbs close OF each exercise showed
hov fsvorably 1t was received. The young
ladies In their red and white uniforms were
beautiful to behold. but the beauty Of their
accurate and intrlcste movements, was
scarcely less attractive. The movements
were such as to bring into action every
muscle OF the body. II speaks we'll for. the
college to say that the physical too often
neglscted) as we'll as the mental being Is
trained to vigorous and healthy action. ,
