SCIENCE AND SONG UNITE.

The academieal year of ST. Ignatius
College was brought to fitting close last
night at St. 1gnatius Hall in the presence
of fully 1000 persons
Archbishop Riordan and several priests
were present to see how well the students
had acquitted themselves, and, no doubt,
We're highly pleased at the evidence of
able and careful training, even in the
higher branches of education. The large
audience was entertained for three hours,
during which time interest never abated in
the exhibition OF scholarship.
The main features of the exercises were
two illustrated scientific lectures by STU
dents Of natural science classes. Thomas
Hickey, class of '93, delivered a lecture on
'Grayitation, Its Nature and Laws, and
Its \ rlcatlon to Physics and Mechan-
les" r bert Hicks of the same class en-
tertained his hearers with scholarly dis
sertatiOn on Sound. Its Propagation and
Principal Properties" The discourses of
these showed much conscientious study,
and beyond the domain OF physics gave the
speakers an opportunity to display rhetoric
as taught by the Jesuit fathers.
Every possible facility for illustrating
their lectures was afforded by the magnif-
icent scientific cabinet of the college. One
would imagine on viewing the stage that
the illustrations had assumed life, stepped
from the pages of dear old GauOt and ar
ranged themselves decorously upon the
platform. Most students of The natural
sciences must be satisfied with seeing these
instruments in pictures only. but here was
a complete set 10 illustrate the most cele-
brated experiments, or the most amusing
or surprising.
5 brief introductory address was read
by Luke Flynn OF the class of '95, and al
