SCOTT WOOD TELLS SOME FACTS. HE
IS ENTHUSIASTICALLY APPLAUDED.
HIS MASTER GRAFTON COMMENDED.
THE PRESIDENTS REMOVAL, &c.

The Congregational church was
packed Monday night with the
friends of the graduates. Many
and beautiful were the floral tokens
of love and friendship, besides
many of the graduates received val
liable books which will help them
much in their professions. Mr..
w. c. Martin received two volumes
of Bauner's Dictionary. Mr.. Scott
Wood was very fortunate in having
presented to him 'sBenjamin on
Sales" which is indeed, valuable
ac4 4uisition to his library. At Sp.
m. to the beautiful strains of Prof.
Krause's music, the graduating
class of 1886 filed in and took seats
with their friends. Among whom
were Senator Sawyer, Judge Price,
Judge Allen, Col. James d. Brady,
Hon. Robert M. LaFollette, Hon.
John M. Smythe, Rev. Walter IL.
Brooks, together with Prof. Benja-
J min F. Leighton, Dean of the Law
Faculty and President Patton.
Prayer was offered for the sue
cess of the class by Rev. Walter H.
| Brooks. Address to the gradual
ing class by Hon. Robt. M. LaFol-
lette, was mastery effort abound
ing in good sound advice to the
young men, who as he we'll said
stood upon the borders of the grand.
est possibilities, where the very
angels beckon them on; his pero-
ration was simply grand. The
next in order was the comforting OF
degrees, but the program was
changed, and brought Mr.. Scott
Wood who made the highest per.
centage in his class and received
the valedictory which also exclud-
ed him from competing tor the
prize, The question was asked
why was the program changed
The solution which can be given is
that Mr.. Scott Wood, who was de.
MED the valedictory in the college
department of Howard University
in 1888, but returned and captured
it 1886. Mr.. Wood claimed in bis
we'll written and splendidly deliv'
cred Grafton on the Legal
Evolution of married women
that a certain class of men
who have had control of Negro ed
ucation ever since the war has be-
come tyrnanlcal and unjust to those
who are completely under theil
control. Mr.. Wood fully demon
strated by the high approval giver
him by the large and brilliant as
semplage of some of Washington's
best people.
He was .applauded to the echo
several times during the delivery O
his oration, and whenever refer
ance was made to the injustice don,

ing the best days of their lives Il
