all through the week rather surpassed those Of
the ordinary commencement week of Kent's
Hill and were well appreciated by all present.
The oration by Prof.A. W Small of Colby Un-
iversty was full Of brilliant original thought.
His subject, Education in Republics, was
handled in a manner that showed q broad cul-
ture, clear and critical power Of observs-
tion.
The concert under the direction Of Prof.W.F #.
Morse, possessed many attractive features. The
fne singing of Miss Marguerite Hall was es-
pecially interesting to the audience. The vic
lin solos by Mr.. d. M. league, called forth
prolonged applause.

At the nesting of the trustees the same
board of instruction was elected except in place
of Miss Lenora Adams, resigned, Miss Flora
mclaughlin was selected as preceptress.
Miss mclaughlin graduates this June from

their former preceptress with much sadness,
for by her true ladylike ways she has endeared
herself to the hearts Of all.

arrangements for hiring three new instructors
to open commercial college at the beginning
of the fall term. 1t is hoped this experiment
will prove successful; it must certainly add to
