CLOSING EXERCISES
or the Norman University Program
Carried Out
Special tO the Daily Leader

or the norman Universtty-Ihe Program
Carried out
Special to the Daily Leader
Norman, o. r., June g. Tuesday,
June 2, marked the greatest day in
the history Of the University Of okla
homa. 1t was the climax OF success,
for on this day. the University sent
! forth to the world the first ripened
fruits Of its labors On this day di-
plomas were granted to .he first grad
urtns Of the institution and the event
was one Of which the citizens Of okla
homa were justly proud, as was mani
tested by the overwhelming crowded
condition of the hall throughout all
the exercises. The event of the day
was the address Of the literary soci.
ETY. by Hon Henry +. Asp Of Guthrie
Mr. Asp was met at the train by the
University cornet band and escorted
to the Office of President Boyd, where
he met the board OF regents and other
friends, after which he was escorted to
the stage and after the rendition OF
several classical selections OF music,
both vocal and instrumental, Mr. Asp
delivered the most eloquent and mag.
,nificent address ever listened to by the
people Of Norman. Mr.. Asp spoke to
students Of a thorough education, in
such a manner that Impressions were
made which will last throughout
lifetime The advantages Of well
trained and thoroughly educated mind
over dwarfed and ignorant one were
SO vividly depicted that all were
urged 10 stronger endeavor and Armer
resolutions.
After the address the graduates in
pharmacy, Messrs Leunell, Dorrance
Marshal and Tucker, arose and Presi-
dent Boyd, in very neat speech, pre-
sented them their diplomas.
In the evening the musical depart
ment under the direction of Miss
Grace King, gave one OF the best con-
certs to which the people Of Norman
have ever had the pleasure OF listen
ing. The programe consis ted of vocal
and instrumental solos and duets,
selections by the orchestra and uni
versity band and choruses, by the
various glee clubs and choral classes.
Miss King is an artist in the line of
music and through her persistent
efforts the musical department of the
university is now more thoroughly
organized aud in better working
condition than any like department
IN the territory.
AS whole the commencement
exercises were the best in the history
of the institution. Much credit is
due .PresidentBoyd aud his able corps OF
assistants for their untiring efforts in
behalf of the school. The fact that
the university is only four year old
and has finished its FIRST graduates in "A
thorough course Of study, is something
Of which the people of Oklahoma are
justly proud This can be said Of very
few similar institutions Of learning. II
has been demonstrated beyond "A
doubt that President Boyd ia the right
man in the right place.
