The class OF 'SS was graduated with
the usual ceremonies at Hamline uni

ercises were held in the chapel of the
main building, which had been appro-

beautiful display of flowers bedecked
DR.. Cyrus Brooks, DR.. ID. G.. John, eX-
president of the university; Rev. w
w. Satterlee, DR.. w. III. Forbes and the
members of the faculty. Prof. Batch
elder, acting president, conducted the
ceremonies in the absence of President
Bridgeman. A banner with the
class motto, ''Astra, Castra, Numen,
Lumen," was hung in the rear of
the platform. The graduates oc-
the seats directly on the left of the
platform. The girl graduates, Miss
Southwick, in white silk; Miss Richard
son and Miss Johnson in cream ala
batross, were the center of attraction, a
condition which did not seem to disturb
their classmates of the other sex, who
were radiant in frock coats and polished
linen. The large audience was cramped
for room in the confines of the chapel
and late corners were required to stand
in the Railways and listen without see
ing. The students OF the institution,
wearing their class colOrs, were all
present, and scattered among the audi
ence were to be seen many of the lead
ing disciples and fellows of Meth
odism from all parts of the
state. There were DR.. William McKin-
ley, D. D.; Rev. Levi Gilbert, of Winona;
DR.. Hare, of 0watonna; Rev. DR.. Hol-
man and Rev. j. c. Stout, of st. Paul :;
Rev. IL. p. Cooper, of Dakota; Rev. r.
ii. Young, editor of the Northwestern
Herald, and Rev. DIR. Jordan, of Mime
apOllS. A full orchestra in the balcony
played ''The jolly Robbers" for an over
ture, and the
EXERCISES WERE OPENED
with an impressive prayer by ex-Presi-
dent John, now of Milwaukee. The

BoquetS and floral tributes were
young women alike by admiring friends
when they made their final bows. Per-
hapS the handsomest design was mag
nifcent bunch of lilies, which was re-
ceived by Miss Southwick.
Acting President Batchelder then
called the class upon the platform and
after delivering a short address in latin
distributed the diplomas. Fred W. De-
wart, Laura G. Johnson, Ezra E. Nc

Inc class - the largest that ever
graduated from the university, with the
single exception of the class of 'S6, and
brighter or more intelligent looking

would be hard to find. Some have al

who has already done some minor news
paper work, will begin as journalist.

powers won him prize in the inter-
collegiate contest, will study law, and

their summer vacations, and the uni
versity will be left to itself until the
fall term opens. Members of the fac
ulty have planned their vacations. Prof.
Batchelder left for New York last night.
