SUNDAY.
The exercises for commencement
week began Sunday afternoon at 3 p.
m. by an address from Rev. Jas. c.
Shetland, OF Milbank. which was fol-
lowed IN the evening by the baccallau-
reate address OF President McLouth.
Prof. Jas. II. Shepard had charge OF
the evenings exercises which opened
with an appropriate hymn by the
choir. Rev. Duboc, Of the Baptist
church then read from the scriptures
taken from the 9Th chapter of Pro-
verbs. Praye er was offered by Rev. A.
M. Work of the Presbyterian society.
The text fer.the Presidents address
was taken from the Sth chapter OF
proverbs and 9th verse, HE that get
eth wisdom, loveth his own soul" AL.
though not very lengthy discourse,
it was full of meaning, full OF instruc-
tion and OF great merit. 1t was the
kind of q sermon that should. and
undoubtedly was, greatly appreciated
by the students. There was not one
present but could have taken home
some of it's practical teachings with
benefit to themselves. We are sorry
that time and space forbids the pub
lication of the entire discourse for it
is certainly worthy OF reproduction.
MONDAY.
On Monday began an inspection of
the library, laboratories, museum,
shops, gardens, farm and live stock.
1t ie needless to say that each depart
ment of the above under it's efficient
management was found in "apple ple'
order and in excellent condition.
Each one in charge OF the different de-
partments apparently takes great
pride in ke.ping things to that stand
ard of perfection where it does not
merit criticism.
