The class placed on the walls of Smith
Hall very handsome brass tablet, bearing
the class roll and the class motto.
The Trustees were called to order in Ging-
ling Gymnasium at 10 O'Clock. Their first
business of importance was the election of
President, that Office having been vacated by
the death of the late John Smith. BY very
common consent the matter was soon most
satisfactorily settled by the election OF the
venerable DR.. j. L. Ward to that position.
those who have known the connection Of the
late President and his successor, have sus'
tanned to the institution is unnecessary. 1t
was likewise very fitting thing that Joseph
w. Smith should have been chosen to hill
the vacant place of his father as n member OF
the Board. The Board was in session a
large part Of the day, the most of its pro
eeedings could not be made public.
The Alumni convened in its annual bust
ness session in Smith Hall al p. M, with
President Diffenbaugh in the chair. notice
able feature of the assembly was the large
representation from the classes Of 'SG, $50,
and '9l. The class of 1872 was formally made
members, after which came the election of

At the sound of the college bell, the COM
pany repaired to the dining hall, where they
were Joined in banquet by the trustees and
faculty. While surrounding the board,
song, written for the occasion by President
Diffenbaugh was sung, and the President
further contributed to the enjoyment of the
hour by an extremely interesting address,
relative to the history of individual members
of the Alumni. Another Interesting item of
the banquet was the very generous contribu-
tious to the Alumni Hall fund, so that the
Alumni Hall is no longer n mere project but
will soon take shape in brick and mortar.
In the evening was held to most people the
most delightful entertainment Of all the week,

1t is hardly the proper thing for the report
er to go in raptures over the first perform
ance, but when it is such an irresistible selec-
ton, played in such a truly beautiful way, as
the one in this concert, he cannot do other
wise. He must say that it was truly delight.
Prot. Rinehart, already so well known to
commencement audiences, was heard at his
best in the rhapsodie, and was warmly cheer
ed Mrs. Liggets numbers formed u great
attraction to the program, and the whole
vocal part spoke well of her ability to manage
snch a department The fifth number was
truly unique, and it would be hard to imagine
how such childish things as a cuckoo whistle,
q shrll pipe, an alarm rattle and penny
trumpet, could be wrought into such ex
quiste harmony, with the piano, organ and
violins The music department has for some
time enjoyed an excellent reputation, but
this concert exceeded by far all previous
concerts and the audience fully attested this
by their applause.
Thursday.

by ltzel's Orchestra, the school proceeded up
