SCIENTIFIC scHooL-AN ADDRESS TO THE
ALUMNr-rwo GRADUATES RECEIVE DEGREES.
The 9th annual commencement Of the Co
lumbar college, and the second commencement
of the Corcoran Scientific school both took place
in the university chapel last evening. After
an orchestra had played an overture President
Yelling introduced Rev. Mr.. Stakely. pastor Of
the 13th-street Baptist church, who invoked
the Divine blessing. DR.. yelling presented
MIR. Andrew B. Duvall who delivered the ad-
dress to the alumni. Mr. Duvall announced
that he merely wanted to give forth few sug-
gestions upon the manhood of the individual
as the type and index of civilization. 1t will
not do, he argued, to say that the manhood of
to-day is but selfish, in the face of the patri-
otto spirit Of yesterday, springing forth with
wealth, and life, ahd honor, to the call of the
country. Such institutions as our humane So
cletles, the facilities for the education Of the
deaf, dumb and blind, and for the care Of the
insane, the patrol of the coasts the
raising up of the vicious, the refn-
ing of the humble, are sufficient evidences
Of the character of American manhood of the
iS century, and together with the press and
the pulpit greater achievements are yet pos
sible. Duty is the watchword of manhood, OBJ
served the speaker, and in closing his address
he besought the young men before him to ad-
here to that platform, and not to swerve from
that line.
Upon the conclusion of his remarks two large
baskets of handsome flowers were handed to
Mr.. Duvall amid loud applause.
announcement was then made of the award
OF certificates and diplomas, as follows:
