Classmates we to-day have gathered,
AS our friends have met of yore,
Now to leave the farwell greeting
Of the class of '94
We've met to say farewell,
Perhaps for many a year,
To our dear old lima Mater
Which we hold SO DEAR
AS we launch our ships from harbor
And sail on life's rough sea
Tossed about on many billow
We'll ere be true to thee.
An though we drift apart
And meet again no more
Well still be bound together
BY friendship true and sure.
When at last our journeys ended,
At eve when the sunset glow
Sheds ray of gorgeous splendor
On the slumbeflng earth below
Well say our last farewell
10 this weary world of pain
And land at the Golden City
Where wel never part again.

The concert was treat to those lovers
of music, who were here and reflected great
credit on the Conservatory of Music. The
commencement exercises are we'll attended
by the friends and patrons of the school,
Considerable talk is being made of raising
the grade of the Seminary to that of a col
lege. 1t is not altogether unlikely that
this may be done not many years hence.
The school now has college course for
ladies and confers the degrees of A. B. and
A. M. 1t was the first school in this State
to open college course to ladies.
