WATERvILLE, June 27.-Another day
of Colby's commencement week found
the sun still unwilling to shine, and the
presentation day exercises, which should
have taken place on the campus, were
held in Memorial Hall. Music was fur
nished by Halls orchestra of the militia
ry band. The programme opened by
music, followed by prayer by J. B. Slo-
cum of the junior class, then the singing
of the class ode, the first verse of which
was very appropriate to the inclement
weather. Then followed the presenta-
tion to the college of the beautiful Mar
BILE Faun through the class president, j.
Fl. Ogier, who said: "Three years of
college life have left us with two marked
results, warm class spirit and a loyalty
to our alma mater. We give material
expression to these feelings in observing
the custom of the presentation in a gift
to the college of statue representing
subject taken from our own times.
We hope that our gift will meet the favor
of the college and that it may ever stand
within it's walls as token of 1895 best
wishes and sincere esteem. Mr.. Presi-
dent, feel proud to have the honor to
present to you in the name of the class
of '93 cast of the Praxitelis Marble
Faun.''
The ode of presentation was then sung
and Rev. F. Bakeman accepted the gift
in few we'll chosen remarks in behalf
of the college:
