CLASS OF TWENTY-FIVE,
Commencement Exercises of
the California College of
Dentistry.
Degrees Conferred on Thirty-Eight
Graduates at Odd Fellows
Hall Last Night.

The commencement exercises of the COL
lege of dentistry of the University of Cali
fornia were held at Odd Fellows Hall last
evening, and the graduating class has
reason to feel proud of the interest which
their relatives and friends took in the
affair. Those who had the management of
the details in their hands had done every
thing they could to make the interior of
the hall look as attractive as possible.
Festoons of fragrant blossoms adorned the
stage and sides of the hall. The incense of
sweet summer flowers was everywhere and
added charm to the events of the even
ing.
Not only the lower floor, but the gallery
as well, were filled when shortly after 8
O'Clock the overture of "Guillaume Tell"
was rendered by the orchestra. The ex-
ercises were opened by prayer offered by
Rev. w. w. Bolton, A. M, and it was fol-
lowed by musical selections.
The address on behalf of the faculty was
delivered by William Cormack Keith of
the class of sc. His remarks were in a
work which the members of the gradual
ing class had accomplished during the
past year. The percentages gained in the
class examination, he said, had been high,
and showed that the scholars had taken q
deep and earnest interest in their work.
Knowing all the graduates as he did he
had full faith that they would in their re-
spective future careers reflect credit upon
the college which they were now leaving
to enter upon their life work He referred
to the trials and possible disappointments
which were liable to be met with in start
ing out upon a professional career, but
trusted that each and all would be strong
n In,
he referred to the members of the college
who are now working their way UP to the
graduating period. They should, he
said, take renewed courage from the
examples of those who had gone
before them, not only those who
were graduating this year, but those who
had left the old halls in times past and
who had already esta blished themselves in
the world and had earned regulations
which reflected credit upon their alma
mater-the College OF Dentistry of the Uni
versity of California.
Professor Martin Kellogg, president of
the university, then conferred the degrees
OF doctor OF dental surgery upon the
graduates. AS each graduate received his
scroll the professor spoke few words of
genial encouragement and expressed the
hope that the future would be as bright as
possible.
