AtrMNI MREffNG .Erc. "A part OF
the regular Commencement exer-
cises were reported in the last
issue of the NEw DOMINION. The re.
mainder Of Commencement week has
been of thc'usual interest. The lee
ture of Hon. Geo. Il. Loring. Com
missioner of Agriculture, Washing
ton, d. c., on last Wednesday even
ing, on the "Influence of Washington
in Securing the Adoption OF the Con
stitution," was very interesting and
scholarly production.
OF course Commencement dav is
the most interesting feature in the
whole year. and the crowds at these
exercises appear. to be growing larger
every year. Before ten o'clock on
Thursday morning the capacious hall
| of the new building was filed liter
ally to overlooking and still the peo-
pie could be seen coming from every
direction. The immense crowd that
thronged the beautiful grounds of
the University, all day is. sufficient
testimony Of the interest taken in
these exercises by the people.
The graduating class in the Acad-
emic department. comprised the fol-
lowing young men: w. L. w. Barb,
and II. G. Berkeley, Jr., of Monongalia
county, w. II. Michael, Of Preston
county and II. l.. Robinson, of Fay
cite county, Pa, solid and promising
young men.
MIR. Barb spoke on "Thcs Law Of
Survival in History" which evinced
considerable study and knowledge of
both the facts and philosophy Of his
tory. Mr.. Barb has q pleasant style,
in the main solf-possessed and free
from sophomore hourish.Y
The subject Of Mr.. Berkeley's ora
ton was. "The Prevalence of Popu-
lar Decisions" Mr.. Berkeley showed
the origin Of popular delusion and
then the bancful effect in abstracting
important movements Of public inn
provcment and progress. He has \
good voice, and is an earnest speaker.
