After music by an orchestra, Bishop
Fowler in earnest words invoked the
divine blessing on the school and all
who are connected with it, and especially
on the graduating class. Another piece
ofmusic, and Paul Arnold was announced
for an oration, the theme of which was
Personal Liberty" He said there were
two extreme views advocated. One is
that the state stands in the relation of a
father, and must rule every action. The
other extreme is that the individual is
supreme. The true view is midway be-
tween the extremes, and there is no alb
solute line between state rights and
personal liberty.
The next Grafton on the programme
was entitled Everyday Science" by
Clinton A. Bradley, but he was excused
from speaking at his own request.
Miss May Curran's PHILOSOPHY and
Life" began with the quotation, ''The
proper study of mankind is man." She
then asserted that man was made for a
nobler purpose than simply to live, and
to keep our hearts tuned to Gods har-
mony was the outcome OF all true phil

class, but if she was of the ''weaker
sex" the weakness was not of the mind.
After lively selection by the orches
ira, Mr., E: B: Stuart spoke upon the
theme, the "Ethics of Speculation, and
lation and the buying and selling in
commerce.
Clarence Dougherty in an grafton en-
mand," said that ''every man has a
right to live. The right to live implies iii
a right to the necessaries OF life - The
working classes have right to demand
that the public school shall be main
demand sufficient wages to support
himself and family, and third, he should
demand sufficient time to develop. Ii
he has only time to eat, sleep and labor,
he will develop his animal nature alone
In Lloyd B. Christy's "Plea for a BIZ
Metallic Standard" he said: In 1873
when the Franco-Prussian war caused
the demonetization of silver in Europe,
our legislators changed the standard
from silver to gold. As result of this
change, gold advanced in price, enrich
ing eastern speculators, but pro-
ducing one OF the most disas-
trous panics in American history.
With the resumption of silver
a new impetus was given to trade. If
the partial restoration of the silver
standard has been so beneficial, why not
make gold and silver equal? "Let US
demand of congress immediate action
upon this measure, by the adoption of a
bill for strict bi-metallic standard with
the unlimited coinage of the metals"
After another selection by the orches-
ira, Elger A. Reed took for his subject,
"Quackery" After speaking of the
abuses of medicine and the fact that
more medical students secured diplomas
from the size of their pocket-books than
from the amount of knowledge they
possess, he claimed that the government
should pass laws requiring high grade
in medical schools, and commended the
European system. George ID. Christy
then came to the front, and, as citizen
of one of the great territories. de-
manded "Justice to the Territories"
He then, in behalf of the class, bade
farewell to the audience. In few we'll
chosen words he thanked DR.. Matthew,
who was dean for two years of their
course, for his kindness and patti
ence with them; President Bovard,
Dean Cherington and the faculty for
their labors in their behalf this year.
Again music, and Rev. 7. w. Robin
son, chairman of the conference COM
mittee, read his report. He said the
committee was highly gratifed at the
growing interest in 'Arbor day" on the
campus; also reported the buildings in
good repair and praised the students for
their advancement as evidenced by
their term papers. Two hundred students
were in attendance and proper deport-
ment had been maintained.
The dean then presented Clarence
Dougherty and Paul Arnold with the de-
gree of Bachelor OF Philosophy, and
Elger A. Reed, E. B. Stewart, George
d. Christy, May E. Curran, Clinton A.
Bradley and Lloyd B. Christy Of
Bachelor of Science. The benediction
was pronounced by DR.. Bresee, and
the vast audience dispersed well pleased,
and feeling that class had been gradu-
ated of which any college might be proud
The dean gave a reception at his resi-
dence in the evening to the faculty and
