GREENcAsTLE, June 21.-The most notable
commencement that has ever come to AS
bury University is drawing to a close. 1t has
indeed been remarkable, both in regard to
the many distinguished orators who have
graced the occasion by their presence, and in
regard to the important business interests
that have come before the board of trustees
and visitors. The consideration of the
DePauw endowment has engrossed much of
the attention of the board, and having ap-
proved of the means already employed for
raising the required sum necessary for OBJ
tanning the DePauw fund, they have gone to
work with determination to raise, in the next
six weeks, the sum still deficient.
The Society of the Alumni, in business
session, elected Hon. Daniel w. VOORHEES,,
class SO, to deliver the alumni grafton in
1884, and Prot. E. E. Edwards, of the same
class, the poem.
Last evening transpired the annual ban
quet of the Society of the Alumni. Covers
were laid in the west college hall for 300 per
sons, and elegant refreshments were served.
