This Is graduation week at Howard Uni
versity. Commencement exercises of the
musical, theological aud normal depart
ments have already boon held, and last
night the college department proper had
its twenty-fourth annual commencement in
the Andrew Rankin MsIaorial Chapel. For
the first time in the history Of the univer-
sity the degree of bachelor of science was
last night conferred ny Grant Lucas and
Jesse E. Tucker being the graduates who
gained the distinction. William E. Ben
son. Elmer c. Campbell, Corinne L. Gibson
and Mary L. Jones were awarded the de-
gree Of bachelor Of arts William E. Ben
son, Elmer c. Campbell and Mary L. Jones
delivered class orations. Mr. B. K. Bruce
made the address to the graduates.
Rev. DR.. Rankin, the president of the uni
versity, is indignant over the arrest of six
young graduates Wednesday night charged
with disturbing the peace by giving the col
lege yell as stated in yesterdays Star.
These young men were aIraigned In the
Police Court yesterday before Judge KIM
ball, who was inclined to be lenient, and
suspended sentence, as he was unwilling
they should start out in life under cloud.
DR.. Rankin gave vent to his feelings In the
address he made last night during the com
y
was not in any city in the country class
OF students SO well behaved as those of
Howard University, and characterized the
arrest OF graduates for giving the college
cry and singing an old plantation melody
as a grieVous mistake on the part of the
authorities. There was no attempt on the
part of the young men, said the doctor, to
paint the town red; they were simply CIV
ing expression to their naturally joyous
spirits at having successfully finished a
hard years work. There are sounds with
in the neighborhood of this university
continued DR.. Rankin, land in close con-
tiguity with the Freedman's Hospital,
where hundreds of patients are annually
treated, which are disturbance Of the
