The Second Annual Commencement Sue
cess-An Intellectual and Social
Programme.

Tho sH"Ond annual commencement Of
Trii ity q IL college, comprising literary
| church, and q reception at the Pickwick
hotel later in the evening. reflects great
credit upon Miss Conklin as an
educator, and upon the young ladies
who conducted so gracefully the social part
of the programme The exercises opened
at o'clock at the church with an
overture, 'Oberon.'i rendered by Pro
by Rev. j. Morgan Wells the sing
ing class of thirteen tremendously
blended voices rendered a number Sc
lected from the Rainbow Cantatd," that
brought forth applause, bespea1ing intelll-
gent appreciation By the audience and
painStaklng preparation on The part OF the
singers.
Mr.. Wells delivered an address on Edu-
cation from the natural and utilitarian
standpoint-the creator who brings the
eemponent parts OF matter together,
fbr an utilitaIian purpose is educated, and
he who has applied the naturalization pro-
cess, eliminating the artificial influence
from without, is the perfec-
ton Of the educated man or
woman. He also regarded it from an
| historical standpoint, saying that history
taught US to evade the errors Of the past:
a solo. 'Polonaise,' by Moszkowski,
performed by Miss Mary Malone, was well
received.
Things Are Not What They Seem - an
essay by Miss Carrie L. Hornby.a graduate
of the institution. is suggestive of a
line of thought which Miss
Hornby followed out in manner
interesting to the attentive listener, indi-
eating that she had gone to the depth which
the title merits, DruSh ming aside the super
fetal and graspinG only the substance.
Miss Blanche Shorb rendered the Open
ing Song very crcditably.
MIR. Parker Bunker, who has heretofore
hidden his light under q buShel, agreeably
surprised a critical audience in his two violin
solos They were cXcellentlv executed.
The essay of Miss Josie Horribly entitled,
People Geometrically Considered,n was
much appreciated, calling the attention OF
the audience to the close resem-
blance sustained by some people TO
the various lines and figures
in geometry. Men may be classified as
straight or crooked, square or angular, etc,
with even more reason than as borrowers
and lenders. suggested by Lamb. The
essay combined humor with sound thought,
and deserved the generous applause be-
slowed by the audience.
Owing to sickness Mr. DeSale was unable
TO be present, and the audience had TO
forego the pleasure of hearing him in Ros-
Sini'S "CuiuS AnimaL:H for the same
reason a seXtette n which he was
also to take part, was Omitted from the pro-
grsmn1e. Miss Eva Reeves and Professor
.sfISn rendered Rhopsodie Hongroise No. 3,
in a most pleasing manner; Miss Reeves
deserves especial mention for her playing.
On account of the absence of President Z.
J. Hurley of the board OF trustees, Rev.
Morgan Wells made the presentation of di-
plomaS TO Misses Carrie and Josie Horribly,
the graduates of 81.
Not the least pleasant part Of the COM
mencement exercises of Trinity Hall
was the dance given by the young ladies'.
Immediately after the literary portion of
the programme was concluded at the
First Baptist church the young ladies OF
the Hall, their parents, and q few invited
friends assembled in the spacious dining
room of the Hotel Pickwic!l. which had
been cleared for the occasion. Here most
delightful time was had, dancing being the
order of the hour
After some time spent in the exercise Of
Terpsichore by the young people, refresh
ments of ices, cream and cakes were served
and thoroughly enjoyed by all. This over,
dancing was resumed, and not until after
midnight did the gathering break up.
Much praise is due TO Mai. Hudgins who
very kindly placed the hotel at the service
of the young ladies and who was untiriug
in his efforts to see that all present enjoyed
themselves.
