foundations of Buchtel are being laid
broadly, deeply and generously, time
only being required to make her one OF
the foremost colleges in the land. These
exercises terminated about 2 P. M, when
about 200 students and their friende, and
friends of the college, adjourned to the
college dining hall, where rich repast
vas spread in the shape Of an alumni
dinner, where, for about two hours, feast
ing and music, with after dinner speeches
occupied the time pleasantly and profta-
by. Everything passed off pleasantly
during the entire week, except the disap-
pointment on account of Chief Justice
Owens failure to reach here last evening,
together with the excessive heat, the mer-
curry ranging up in the nineties

Art Department.
One of the interesting features Of the
commencement this year was the exhibit
ton of the work of the students in the
art school held in the lower chapel. On
the walls were examples OF charcoal, cray
on, pastel, oil and water color, which
gave the visitor an idea of the wide range
of material employed, while the variety OF
subjects allowed by the methods here in
use is ss wide as nature itself. The
character Of the work is credit to both
the institution and the pupils, and shows
how thoroughly the work is done. Prof.
A. T. Van Laer is the successful teacher
in this department, and several OF his pu-
pills are winning enviable regulations.
Mr.. and Mrs. Buchtel Present.
Hon. j. r. Buchtel was present at
nearly ell the exercises during commence
ment week, and seems to kesnly enjoy
the growth and prosperity of the college
to which the Ohio Convention of Univer-
salists prefixed his name. Mrs. Buchtel
is also interested with him in the same
cause, and both we're present during the
entire forenoon to-day, Notwithstanding
the great heat which prevailed. Another
prosperous year is to be recorded for this
college, with highly prosperous outlook
for the years to come.

A STORY OF TRUE LIFE
By SOPHIE M. DAMON.

This is not SO much true story, as a
story of true lite. Many of the scenes
are indeed faithful pictures of rural &C.
currences in our New England, from
1908 to 1928; but the two-fold aim is
deeper: to reveal the workings of true
womanhood, amidst the surroundings
of three-quarters of century ago,-to
let others be helpe by these sketches
whose memories have so often strength
ened the writer's own hope and faith.
