ON THE CAMPUS

ana young, fair and brave. The gathering
 was a very large one. The class filed in ai
 half-past and seated themselves on benches
 in front of the speakers stand. The band
 played several pretty selections, the ladies
 smiled and looked their prettiest, and the
 class vigorously attacked the long clay pipes
 which were passed around in boxes and the l tobacco in large pails. Every man secured
 as many pipes as possible to distribute
 among his lady friends. The cloud of smoke issuing from the pipes almost concealed the
 class, but the singing of the opening piece
 on the printed programme, and the mingled cries of t'GiVe me a light, tPass the tobacoe over here, !" assured the spectators that the newly-made graduates were really there. Then Mir D. H. Buel mounted the stand and | read the first history. His history opened
 with a general sketch of various events
 which ushered in the coming of '83, and then followed with hits upon the class and facul- ty. MT. c. c. Clark followed him and he 1 soon convulsed the whole audience with laughter. His history was really witty, and 1 was judged by many to be the best of the
 afternoon. He was followed by MT. W. Price and s. O. Kerruish. Songs by the
 class, music by the band and warble by
 Jackson" were interspersed during the read ! ing of the histories, which were all well writ | ten and brimming over with jokes on mem bers of the class. The committee to whom
 the success of the day was largely due con
 sisted of E. N. Dingley, chairman; S. H. ! Morton, jr., J. F. Raymond, c. W, Wilson. 1 After the conclusion of the histories the class 1 marched to the north side of Batten chapel ] where the class ivy was planted and the ivy | ode sung. The ivy committee was as fol- | lows: E. G. Bosworth, A. E. Bowers and l ". I. Grubb. The ivy ode was written by | Mir. R. o. Rogers.
 Sweet Alma Mater, ere we grfeVing Sad farewell bld to thee and thine, Pau9e we ltttle moment, leaving
 parting gift at memory's shrine. No costly guerdon may we render,
 I No miracle of jeweled art,
 1 Nought save this little ivy. tender,
 But ah, its root is in each heart.
 | And when. in after years swift aesting. It climbs you wall and bslfry tower, l And listens to the deep bell beating The pulses of each newborn hour,
 Ar0pnd our n hearts shall a1n memories cluster And lighted with the hallowed luster' Refulgent from golden past.
 | So when, perchance, our glasses clinking. l We toast the times which are DO more I The shall drink to it, for linking | The present with the days of yore; For it's fair leaflets, fading never,
 Sunshine or cloud, whiche'er it be, Shall wreathe within our bosoms ever, A shrine to Yale and "Eighty-three." 1 This ceremony concluded the band headed l @ procession of the class which marched first l to thehouse of President Porter on Hillhouse l avenue Three cheers were given for the 1 president who appeared and thanked the l class for their kindness. He said the faculty l felt indebted to the class for their course
 during this year, and that they regretted the | class departure exceedingly. The class should not feel that their relations with the
 faculty and the college were now severed, for 1 they would all follow the course of the class l with great interest. After several more rousing cheers for the president the 1 class marched along and cheered the [ two Professors Dana, Professor Wheeler, | Professor Phelps, who responded with some | very happy remarks, Professor Knapp and l finally ex President Woolsey. The venerable l ex-president came to the gate and said he was | much gratified that the class should remem-
 Der him. He hoped that if any of the class
 should come back to told YaIe" sixty-two
 years from now they would come with none of their love for the institution abated and that they would find it's institutions flourish 1 ing. He again thanked the class. ''Three- times three" were then most heartily given for Dr. Woolsey, after which the class
 marched to the campus and disbanded.
 THE LAW SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT. l The Law school commencement in late 1 years has become one of the most prominent 1 features of commencement week and this
 week an oration by Senator Bayard, of Della ware, forms no exception to this very con-
 mendable practice. The presence of so
 eminent, scholarly and esteemed a public man as Senator Bayard cannot but claim the attention of our citizens interested in nation
 al affairs, and the theme of his oration is one
 of special application to the times, viz: "The Responsibilities of the Legal Profession in a Republic" The exercises will take place as
 usual at Center church, opening this after
 noon at 3 o'clock President Porter and prominent members of the faculty of Yale l and several distinguished guests will be pres
 ent on the platform. The Townsend prize l speaking will follow. Yesterday the follow | ing named received, with all the inward
 satisfaction that the nature of the informa-
 ton warranted, the news that they had satls- | factorily passed the final examinations, and | would therefore to-day receive the degree Of 1 LL. B.:

 THE SENIOR PROMENADE
 The senior promenade took place last night
 at Alumni Hall, where in late years this, one
 of the most brilliant events of life at Yale,
 has been held. The elegant hall, with It's
 array of pictures of eminent citizens of the
 past and honored men of today, and it's new
 dress given it not long since, was gaily | adorned with the best treasures of the Yale
 navy and with choice plants and flowers,
 and made fitting temple for the reception 1 of the fine representation of the grace and
 beauty of the land who, with the lords of
 creation accompanying, held high carnival | within it's walls from 9 p. m. until the gray 1 of the morning, dancing and promenading to | tke music of Lander's orchestra of New
 York. The attendance was large and the af- | fair highly successful in all points. | The spacious hall was filled to
 overaowing and many promenaded outside
 under the alumni tent, or strayed away for quiet converse over the carpeted walks un-
 der the old elms by the light of the lines of
