be primarily ana essentially OFT nome, ue-
handed by our necessities and made to meet
them. Moreover, we shall ask permission TO
build it in conspicuous place, where the
earliest light of the morning will gid 1t, and
uarting day Will linger and play upon its roof,
so thai one q. the last objects to the sight Of
the alumnus who is regretiully leaving his
college hearth, and one Of the first to gladden.
the vision of him who reyisits it, will be some
thing in which he has the interest OF per-
manent personal possession, and the PRIV
leges of Il superior right, from which no later
conner can evict him, and which will remain
familiar though every other
college apartment change tenant and appear
ance.
Your committee who have the matter in
charge have carefully considered the require
ments of the case. Plans for the building
have been agreed on and drawings have been
made. There will be an assembly room and
a banquet room, reception rooms, reading
rooms and necessary cupboards; kitchen and
store have in the basement, with elevators.
We rooms only been waiting for me necessary
funds TO begin the work. The building will cost
about five thousand dollars Ii was determined
that as soon as the collections were sufficient
to put the house under roof, it should begun.
1t is now believed that this point has been
reached, and your committee were authorized
and directed, by the business meeting today,
tc collect the money already subscribed, to
devise means to raise the residue which will
be needed, and TO proceed with the erection
of the house at once. We have set our hearts
upon making the dedication Of this new home,
with becoming ceremonies, the feature Of our
next annual reunion, and we appeal to you
here, as we shall appeal TO you elsewhere, to
supply us the money to finish the structure Us

have been subscribed.
In these social hours, when we are most
open to hints from above, when we are united
in that exquisite atmosphere through which
we see one another's best motive, quite free
from the limitations of our special pursuit,
let the appeal be answered. Say thatwe will
raise up this perpetual witness OF our faith in
human progress, and in the acceleratIng force
of scholastic attainments.
We feel assured that we are Fastening to an
age of adjustment, when the world shall really
live in the home which is now being so vigor-
0usly re-exanrined, enlarged and cleaned.
When that good time shall come; when the
of today shall finally yield
to the calm aiiirmatiens of the future; when
science shall have discovered the final limits
Of our earthly home, and the true laws which
govern IL; when words shall have grounded
themselves ON an uilQutSLOutu
when art shall have become sure expression
of the perpetually beautiful; when literature
shall be the utterance of only the best thinking
OF the noblest minds; when religion shall have
learned to walk without its shadow, supersti-
ton, and to consume all terror in the fire of
an aspiration pointing to the supreme love;
in a word, when The best humanity shall
realize itself,-it will be only the realization
of that ideal of man which il is the purpose
OF our beloved college, and similar Institutions,
10 hold up ever before the gaze of an aspiring
race, and aid that race to attain.

If there had been crowds in Smith Hall at
the previous entertainment what shall We say
of this? 1t was n crush, Jam, n mob OF
people-so much so that the real good OF the
Concert was lost. This fine program was
given almost to perfection, and yet the peo-
pie were so crowded and some so noisy that
the music could not be appreciated at all.
Another year Western Maryland will be
,t,iven to some expedent to limit the audi.
enees. Comments on the separate numbers
of the program would seem unnecessary.
There was not a participant in the program
that did not deserve special praise.
COMMENCEMENT.
Itzers Orchestra from Baltimore played as
charminyly as ever during the assembly OF
the audience, and promptly at 8 O'Clock the
school entered and stood in line while the
Graduates and Faculty advanced and took
positions on the stage. The program was a
long one, but the speeches had all been SO
closely held to a word limit that they did not
become tiresome and the audience got out
about as soon as usual. We add the program
and the Honor Roll:
