first thing on the program was the
comforting of degrees. We append II
list which will show who were the
fortunate ones. The delivery of the
alumni address by Mr.. w. M. Cox, of
Mississippi, came next. We regret
that we haven't sufficient space to
speak fully of this really excellent pro-
duction His subject was "The South
and the Negro" He rejected the ideas
of Mr. Cable as mischievous and re-
pellant, but thought the negroes were
entitled to better treatment in some
things than is accorded them, especial
| " in the matter of railroad accommo-
dalton. He had evidently studied his
subject thoroughly and was conversant
with all that has been said or written
concerning it.
The Inauguration of the faculty of
the newly constructed department of
Theology came next, and the inaugu-
raj address of DIR. j. II. Wilson, the
principal of the Department. A very
pleasing and appropriate address was
then delivered by DIR. Palmer.
AWARD OF MEDALS.
The Mack Biblical medal was con-
ferred on Mr.. J. r. Herndon, but it
wa stated that Mr.. N. Smylie had
been so close contestant for this hon.
or that DIR. Shearer thought he deserv-
ed some share of the honor, and con-
ferred on him handsome bible in
token OF his proficiency. The Spencer
medal for Greek was given to Mr.. N.
Smylie. The Best Speakers medal
was awarded Mr. G. w. Patterson.
