CLOSING EXERCISES
The closing exercises of Wichita uni
| versity were held in the university chapel
Thursday morning and evening and were
of an unusually interesting character. The
program for the morning was OF a literary
| character, consisting OF Grafton. essays,
and Rotations interspersed with music.
Notwithstanding the rain the attendance
was large and appreciative. and the
literary renditions reflected much credit
on the youthful peformers- An excellent
address by President Kemp was frequently
and vigorously applaudcd. He stated,
among other things, that the first object
OF Wichita university was not to turn out
graduates, but to fill the hearts and minds
of students with love and inspiration for
study and culture that would lead to such
application and search after knowledge as
would make them well deserving by their
intellectual and moral attachments of the
degrees the university was ready to award.
The musical recital, which was the fourth
in the history Of the institution. was
Of a very superior character. The
selections, as the program will
show, were from the masterpieces
of the masters in the art, and the rsndi-
ton of them was splendid. Long before
the first number was called the large
chapel was crowded, gallery and all, and
standing room was at a premium.
The second part of the program consist
ed of Birds cantrata, which was very fine
in every particular and Justly encored.

which the instrumental solo by Miss Gal
loway and the vocal duet5 by Mrs. kirk
