Commencement day. What volumes
of meaning there are in those two words
for the young man about to be formally
graduated from some seal of learning.
Those two words represent to him the
contamination of all his plans; the reali-
cation of all that he has been striving
for; the crowning Triumph of his
dreams. For the first time il his life,
perhaps, he sees himself looked upon
with regard by his elders. He seems to
be translated from earth to some higher
sphere; his head is thrown back; his
chest heaveS; his eye dilates; the blood
bounds through his veins; he scarcely
touches the earth when he walks. Men
who have met with the struggles of life
and who know what it is to be beaten.
may sheer at him-and he knows right
well that they do sneer at him-but
reckS not. He has passed through col
lege, has worked early and late, and is
now about TO receive his reward. He
has won battles in school; he feels that
he can win in the world. His conf
dence i'll his own powers are supreme.
He may Overestimate them, but that
does him no harm if he is determined
to make the best use of them. All the
as he looks at the heights to be climbed,
and he calmly decides that nothing is
to great for him. ,Joyfully he leaps into
the swiring maelStrom of life, where
so many have disappeared before
never to reappear. The fail
ure of others nothing daunts him.
And this supreme self-confideuce -
presumptuous egotism, some call it's
the surest guarantee of the success of
the college graduate. He cares little
for the disappointment his friends may
find in his achievements. but he revots
at disappointing himself. He strains
every nerve to reach the goal which he
has marked.
There were 1856 of these happy, conf
dent young men and women on the
ing. 1t was not an ideal commence
ment day, but they noticed it not. Ali
the world looked bright to them. They
filled up the right-hand half of the plat
form. On the other side were ranged
the members of the faculty, the board
of regents and the prominent citizens
admitted to the sacred privilege of sitting
on the stage. Promptly at O'Clock the
programme opened with music. Prayer
and more music followed. Then, be-
tween selections by the orchestra,
