Everything has past off pleasantly.
Good speeches, fine music and pretty
girls, altogether have made the Com
mencement success. And now, after
all this pleasure, the Trustees have
met and sufficient money for the nee
esary expenses has been pledged and
sometime during the next three weeks |
President tor Trinity will be elected
OF course 1t isn't known yet whom it |
will be, but several names have buzz
zed around.
The Alumni and Trustees are deter
mined that Trinity ought to be and |
shall be a success. At present every |
body feels hopeful and bright and in
considering everything they have a
right to be. The college in 1884 en-
rolled 70 students, to-day there are
146. | hear that an endowment fund |
will soon be started and that several |
handsome sums, in this event, have |
already been promised. I believe that
Trinity is stepping out into the path
way to success and that her future is
bright.

done.
