wns not only well rendered but full Of
bright thoughts. AT its conclusion she was
presented with handsome bouquet of
jacqueminots. G. II. Kandell's class his
tory was full of keen hits and laughabe
"reminiscences; and the audience had hardly
time to smooth down their countenances be-
fore they were convuised by d. G. Hawley's
irresistible address to the undergraduates.
c. F. Ferrin again reminded the audience
of the Tooth birthyear Of the u. V. NJ. by u
short but excellent centennial grafton.
NJ. NJ. Wilson delivered the class song,
while the rest looked longlngy at their
empty pipes, and at its finish the class
marched away, presumably for smoke in
peace.
