 SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE.
 Battell chapel was crowded full yesterday morning with students and their friends, who had come to listen to the last words that President Dwight would address the gradu- sting olass from the chapel pulpit. The seniors, according to the old custom, formed in body by Old chapel and marched into Battell and occupied the seats re- served for them-both sides of the center aisle. The baccalaureate sermon was one of especial interest and listened to with wrapt attention from beginning to end. The impressiveness was all the deeper when the seniors rose in body to listen in vener- ation and with bowed heads to the final words of exhortation and farewell. The sermon is given in full elsewhere in this edition. The singing at this service was of . high order and particularly solo rendered by Mr. Simmons 20. The conclusion of the service was the customary senior salute to the president as he passed down the aisle and out of the chapel.
 THE PRAISE SERVICE.
 Battell chapel was filled again yesterday afternoon at the o'clock bacoalaureate praise service, which Messrs. Simmons and and Fowler of the senior class had gotten up. It was delightful service in every re- speot, and reflects great credit on the above named gentlemen. With the exception of MT. Gavegan 'e8, all of those who took solo | class of 20. Mir. Percy distinguished him self as an organist, especially in the magnif- cent manner that he rendered the overture Tannhauser as postlude.
 "Hope Beyond" duet sung by Measrs. Brooks and Simmons, was beautifully rem dered, as we'll as the bass solo, "Help Me to Pray" by Mir. Crehose. Mir. Garegsn played wagner's ''Evening Star" as cornes solo with excellent taste and expression. "The Dove of Peace" gave Mir. Munger favorable opportunity to display his rich voice to its best effects. The vocal part of the program was finished by the congregation joining in singing that grand old hymn, "Bethany, '' and the doxology. With benediction from the president, the congregation slowly filed out to the strains of Wsgnsr's "Tann- hsuser." The ushers were Measrs. Joslin, Baird, Parsons, Sherwood, Fowler and Hamill, all of the class of go.

 To-day will be class day at Yale if it does not rain, and if 1t should be 80 provoking as to dt that which 1t has not done within the memory of the oldest graduate, then the slass day exercises will be postponed until to morrow morning.
