| AnHiVsrsary Exercises At the WeaIey ~
Last Thursday night found a ful
house To hear the fall term anniver
sary exercises Of the Wesleyan Uni
vrrsty. A good programme was pre-
pared and carried out.
The audience WAS called to Orde
by DIR. Schuyler, and the Cniversit!
orchestra Of ten pieces played 81
overture. This band Of players max,
good music and always please NJ
audience.
Rev. A. y. See offered prayer.
Robert Harris then delivered the
d" Dsathbed OF Benedict Arnold.
The splendid control under which
this speaker kept his voice, and the
easy use Of the pectOral and aspirat'
qualities, while impersOnating tn,
dying traitor, would have caused hi.
exercise to rank high anywhere. A
cold prevented his doing equally vel
In the pure tones. His gestures were
good.
Ed Collins then prOcsened TO ar.
raign " MOrmOnism In forcible and
clear language. He showed the sys-
tenn TO be the sum Of all villianies,
and declared that all enlightened
nations are eensuring us for allowing
the curse TO stay I'm our territory
Ne then pointed out the dangers at
tending the admission Of Utah n q
State, claiming that as . State she
could defy our government and elect
her own officials, after which war
alone would destroy the evil. His
style IL terse and energetic.
Prof. Guile then played 1.-The Pa.
lscca," piano solo, dedicated 10
DIR. Schuyler. II will Interest many
OF the audience to know the piece
will be published next week. Must
cal people call IL q masterpiece. In
response to an encore Prof. Guile
played " Heather Bells " in his mas
terry way.
A most excellent rendition Of
"Brier Rose by Myra Roebuck,
follow ed. and il 10 sufficient To say
that she held her audience closely at
tentive from the first. The loud ap-
plause which followed her exercise
proved her hearers sympathetic and
appreciative. Miss Myra can equal
any of the high classmen in gesture
aud voice expression.
Miss Amy Richardson a. Queen
Elizabeth, aud Laura Collins a.
Mary Stuart. presented The Garden
Scene " from Schiller. Both Of these
speakers showed q careful study aud
q good understanding OF the charac-
tiers they PersonAted. We wish such
pieces Of classical English were al
WAYS chosen Tor such occasions. Be
sides, the value TO the speakers them
selves the recital of such historical
events does much TO educate an aud
fence of students.
Another excellent piece by the or
chestra was cheered by the listeners.
The GRAFTON, Ich Diem" u serve,
by Edith Collins, was . we'll COM
posed aud q well delivered produc-
ton. Her graphic description Of the
poor. blind King John, as he fought
in the battle Of Crecy, formed q fit
ting introduction to the central
thought Of the Grafton, toNit: the
nobility Of service. She said the
blind king did no more than many
another does in every land; that the
martyrs Of the kitchen and needle
nh many. mors graves than the ma
tons defenders; that Christ taught
by both example aud precept that
service alone gives the highest, pur-
sst and best human lives. The
speaker seemed 10 feel every word
she uttered and her earnest manner
the sympathy Of her hear
