The various events in connection with
Commencement week of the College of
Montana began last Sunday evening,
when the baccalaureate sermon was
preached by Rev. James Reid at the
Presbyterian church. Mr.. Reio was as
sisted in the services by Revs. Britt, Mil
lar and Johnston. The retiring presi-
dent Of the college preached very elo-
quent and forcible sermon, taking for
his text: II Timothy, 2: 15-"Give dill
gence to present thYself approved unto
| God, a workman that needeth not be
ashamed" The sermon was attentively
listened to by the largest audience ever
| assembled in the Presbyterian church.
Preceding and following the sermon
| quartet composed of Misses Dora Gruwell
and Miss Clara Riedel, Messrs. Walter
Kroger and Jesse Davis, with Miss
Roberta Robinson as organist, rendered
some entertaining music, while later
Miss Gruwell sang a beautiful solo.
Monday evening Rev. j. i. Marquis de-
| livered an able address before the literary
society of the college entitled ga
Students Impressions of Germany" The
address is spoken of very highly by those
who had the pleasure of listening to it,
The annual concert was held in Cotton
wood hall on Tuesday evening, and al
though there was fair attendance, the
rain storm which set in early in the even
ing undoubtedly prevented many from
attending. The stage was handsomely
and profusely decorated with flowers and
evergreens, which, coupled with the
beautifully arrayed young ladies, wearing
flowers, presented a lovely scene. And
| the music--both vocal and ndinstrumental-
was delightful. The young ladies and
gentlemen acquitted themselves in most
admirable manner. Indeed, the concert
is spoken Of by many as the best ever
| given at the college commencements,
and spoke volumes in praise Of Misses
| Swami and Terry, the accomplished
teachers of music in the college the past
term. During the program, which we
give below, the young ladiesawere fre
quently applanded and were the recipi-
ents Of beautiful bouquets from admiring
friends in the audience.
