LEARNED In THE LAW,
Many Young Men Graduated at the
Georgetown Law School.

Looking at the National Theater from its
stage last mig ht revealed a sea OF millinery and
fans. Here and there were breakers-male
heads with or without hair-but they were not
easily apparent amid the waves OF hats and
bonnets which swayed to and fro as their ten
ants chatted about the nice young men who were
made real lawyers by the proceedings of yes
terday evening. The graduating exercises OF
GeorgetownUniversity law department brought
together one of the most sympathetic audi
ences that ever cracked kid gloves or frayed
lace mitts by a succession of enthusiastic dem
onstrations.
Behind the faculty and the graduates huge
palms reared:their re~freshinglysgreen fronds,
and a striking contrast was made complete by
the liberal use of bunting. The national col
ors, naval ensigns aud the Presidents flag
hung from the boxes and were draped over the
gallery fronts. In front of the footlights. Just
where any we~ll-regulated orchestra would
naturally be. the Marine Band-Prof. Sousa at
the baton-was stationed throughout the even
ing, discoursing at intervals a first-class instru-
mental program.
President ]. Havens Richards made the OPEN
ing address and presented the diplomas. He
was followed by Senator Vance of North Caro-
lima, who made one of his enthusiastically
pungent speeches-replete with sound advice
and humorous applications.
