The program was incorporated IN Com
mencement Circular, which made an IN
| teresting souvenir of the occasion. Al ITS
head it bore a most beautiful picture OF the
| college. Then came the order of commence
ment exercises The inside pages contained
| the programs of the week, the honor roll Tor
the year, and official announcements. The
| last page was devoted to pleasant paragraphs
referring to the events Of the past year and
| the expectations for the next year
| The undergraduates claimed part oil the
| time, aud there was indeed great interest
throughout the entire distribution oil the uh'
dergraduate honors.
| The front of the stage was well loaded with
fragrant flowers, and packages which looked
| like they might contain things very precious
| and much TO be appreciated. The young
ladies were handsomely, though simply and
most tastefullv attired in dresses, all OF the
same beautiful soft material, lansdown, and
made after the same pattern. The young
gentlemen were all in full dress.

increased prosperity to Western Maryland,
that the audience was larger than usual, and
contained more friends from distance than
usual. The exercises being long, DIR. Lewis
address to the class was shorter than usual.
DR.. Lewis said-"The few remaining mo-
ments of our connection as teacher and pupils
would be spent to our mutual satisfaction, no
doubt. my friends of the twenty second
graduating class, in silence that we might re-
view the past and pay our VOWS to the spirit
of the present hour. But we are hurried on
to the farewell word and the parting salute
The words that come most easily shape
themselves in prayer for your future, that you
NAV be kept from the evil that is in the world
and prove your right TO be remembered by
the best of the world. What we have not
already said in instruction, caution and en-
treaty cannot be said now and the time for
preparation is finished. With loving and
hopeful hearts, we bid you go forth to secure
the palm, seeing well to 1t that the dust
clinging to You at the end of the strife shall
not be that which will soil you, but only the
result of honorable strife.
