FAREWELL TOALMA MATER
The Students Of Che State Closing
Their B001S.

well Address of President Chapel
Very Touching One.
Minedgeville, Ga, June 13.-The liter
rary address of Hon. william j. Bryan OF
Nebraska before the students of the nor
NAL and industrial college last night was
a great effort. He was introduced hy
Gov Northen to demonstrate, he said
that the great tariff orator had still
larger stores Of cloquence in reserve, and
clearly he did have. His theme was The
Emancipation Of Woman and the De-
lights and Power Of Culture. -
Mr.. Bryan is nearly double
of Hon. Patrick Walsh, has the same
build of head and face, and very much
the same figure and dimensions of body.
His nose is an Egyptian pyramid, with
out mustache for base. Two genial
black eyes twinkle merrily about the
apex of it. A cleanly shaver face, and
a wealth of coal black hair complete the
sketch. His manner is cordial and his
presence charming.
To-day the graduating exercises, the
essays of the seniors, the address Of Presi-
dent Chappell and the presentation of
diplomas by Hon w Y. Atkinson, and
the college songs and chOruses all made
en inspiring closing session.
A TOUCHING FAREWELL.
Certainly no more beautiful nor master
full things have ever been said to a gradu-
ating class in any college in Georgia than
President Chappell's touching fare
well words to the senior class
His theme was 80, king, what
great thing can you show US"
epd go,, fo,.tTT Y,ipu+oe we had a families
piece of sustained eloquence. The girls
were profoundly moved and the entire
audience was stirred to the quick. Tears
sparkled on the eyelashes of nearly every
man, woman and child in the vast au-
dience.
The words of Hon w. Y. Atkinson, in
delivering the diplomas and certificates
of proficiency in the industrial arts, were
hardly less eloquent He paid hearty
tribute TO the address of the dis
tinCuished president He displayed his
profound concern in the education of
the young women Of Georgia,
not because he intended to do so,
but because he could not help it. His
heart and that of his noble wife are
wrapped up in the concerns of this great
institution. His address was improvised,
taking, as he did, the place Of Hon. Pat
rick Walsh, but he could hardly have
been more feeling and truly eloquent.

essays are as follows:
Miss Pearl Adams of Macon county,
''Last viii and Testament of the Senior
Glass"
