The Exercises to Begin Tomorrow
Night With an Entertainment.
OXFORD, Ca, June $40 day, as the
historic old college clock sounded forth the
hour Of l2 ard the expectant students gath
cred in the chapel, thrice the grove was
made to resound with the college yell. but
it soon died away and feeling of sadness
seemed to prevail. The roll was called.
prayer was offered, few valedictory re-
marks made by President Gambler, aud the
ffty-thlrd annual session Of Emory College
was closed, save, of course, the commence
ment week. Tho year closed has been a
most prosperous one, there having been en-
rolled very nearly 300 students who have
been noticeable for close application to
duty.
The commencement exc; discs will begin
next Frlday e'enIng. AT that time the
sub-freshmen entertainment will take place,
after which will be awarded the "5eney
Hall" medals.
The annual meeting of the board Of trus-
tees will oeclr on Saturday morning, with
daily session thereafter during the entire
week. Tee board will have some extra
work this year in the arranging of some
new courses and the election of some new
professors, as result of the completion of
the endowment scheme. There will be
established chair of applied mathematics,
and possibly one of history.
THE SERMON.
Bishop Hsygood will preach the com.
mencement sermon on Sabbath morning,
and besides the ordinary interest attaching
to Emory's commencement sermon this will
be Bishop Haygood's farewell to Georgia,
as he leaves the following week for Los

the mission work in California and Mexico.
Many prominent GeorgiaHs will gather here
to bid farewell to this great and good man.
In the afternoon DR.. Bags Of Rome will
preach and at night DIR. Anderson Of At
lanta will address the young preachers.
The sophomores will occupy the after
noon OF Monday. This day IL considered
one OF tue most pleasant of commencement,
the declamations usually being among the
best, AT the close of this speaking the
Stewart medals will be presented by
John s. Gambler, Esq of Atlanta in an APP
propriste speech. d.. w. Z. Harrison of
Nashville, Tenn, will address the Fen and
Phi Gamma literary societies in the after

speeches on Tuesday morning. During the
course of the morning nearly every subject

dress the alumni association, and at night
the musical talent, visiting and local, will
give a concert, which is usually the most
entertaining feature of the week. Many of
the fraternities will have swell" banquets
on this night, notably Kappa Alpha and
Chi Phi will give splendid receptions.
COMMENCEMENT DAY.
Commencement day Is Wednesday, June
10. The twelve speakers from the large grad
uating class will entertain in a charming
way. This noted class will render rich
programme, for 1t is not their way to do
anything half-handed. At the close of their
exercise the award of diplomas will be made
to thirty-one, and President Gamblers bac-
calaureate address will be delivered, which
will undoubtedly be one Of the worthiest
efforts OF his life, for he loves the
class Of 1891 with a fatherly love. With
some slight innovations that may be made
during the week. this will complete the
closing exercises of 1990-'91. It is
understood that Senator Alfred
H. Colquitt will be present throughout the
week, and. as is always the case, the village
will be full Of the elite OF the land. Fathers
and mothers. brothers and sisters, friends
and sweethearts will be on hand to take
part in the festive gatherings.
Prof. Marston's Zouave band will furnish
music the whole week, aud with such an ar
ray Of prominent speakers as those men,
toned above Emory will have truly JOY
Gus season.
