THE RADFoRD LECTURE.
In the evening the hall was again
filed. The Opera House orchestra gave
a half hours concert that was one Of
the most enjoyable features Of the day.
This was followed by lecture on "Pro-
gress," delivered by Rev. D. ]. Radiord,
that was part of the Campbell memo
rial exercises. This brought to close
the Commencement exercises OF 1855
the most notable held in years.
The weather from the start was Just
suited for the various exercises, barring
the heat which was intense, especially
on Thursday. 1t was tempered some
what, however, by the breeze that ever
blows over the grand Brooke coun-
ty hills, ladened with sweet and
health-giving properties from the
green fields and picturesqe wooded
slopes. A prominent figure ut all the
performances was that of eX-PresideHt
W. X. Pendleton; he was warmly
greeted by everyone and took as lively
IN interest in everything that was done
as he did in the days when he was at
the head OF the college, before advanc-
ing age caused him to relinQuish the
charge to younger heads and hands.
The Commencement exercises proper,
commenced Sunday, June II, when
President WoOlery preached the BAG
calaureate sermon. His text was
CHOOSE We this day whom We shall
follow" 1t was an earnest thoughtful
effort and is spoken OF very highly by
all who had the pleasure OF listening to
him.
