JUDsoN COMMENCEMENT.


Miss Judson for the Last Time
Presents Diplomas.
Last night at the First Baptist church
occurred the eleventh annual COM
mencement of JudsOn institute, proba-
bly, the most memorable commencement
the institute ever knew, since it marks
the practical retirement of Miss Judson.
from the school which she has estab
lished and made recognized institu-
ton of learning in Minneapolis, she
having transferred her interest in the
school to Miss Jane Usher, recently
of La Crosse, Wis, although
she is to remain and occupy
the chair of literature for the ensuing
year.
The floor OF the church was about
half filed with the friends of Miss judi
son and her pupils, and the gallery con-
tanned goodly number when the eXer-
cises began. On the platform was
pillar of smllax, bearing the designation
of the graduating class 1890, the gift OF
Miss Abby A. Barnes. About o'clock
all connected with the school, teachers
and pupils, the latter dressed
in simple white and about fifty
in number, entered the church.
Prof. Proctor presided and they
SEATED Rev. DR.. o. ii. Tiffany offered
prayer. DR.. Wayland Hoyt followed in
an address to the graduates. He told
them that they had arrived at point
where they must train themselves.
Their principal, Miss Judson, had done
her part, but could not be with them no
longer. They must hereafter work
alone and do the best they could. He
urged upon them that the best
culture is continued culture; that
little piano practice until one has
become fairly proficient is useless if.
after leaving school the piano becomes
but mere piece of furniture; that to
the student who studies French or Ger
man or any language until it begins to
seem familiar, that language soon be-
comes dead language if its study be
relaxed; and that pictures painted when
the artist begins to show genius, soon
become monuments if the path of art be
not pursued beyond the walls of the
school room. Continued cul ture, he
held, was the only real culture. he
urged upon them the Importance of
women continuing their studies as a re-
source, as means of securing relaXa-
ton and light.
When he finished, Miss Judson
arose and presented their diplo-
mas to Misses Kate Augusta
Barnes, Mary Dorrance eastman.
