Medical and Dental Departments of
the National University.
The graduates of the medical and dental
schools of National University were for
mally handed their diplomas last evening
at Metzerott Hall before large audience
and amid appropriate surroundings. 1t
was the twelfth ennual commencement of
the medical and dental departments of Ma
tional, and the occasion was one Of more
than passing interest. The stage was pro-
fusely decorated with floral designs, while
the body of the house did not lack bunting,
the university colors predominating. Those
authorized to practice medicine and dem
tistry were:
Medicine-Barney Babcock, D. D. S, New
York; Grafton D. P. Bailey, Virginia;
Charles E. Ferguson, Illinois; George NJ.
Godfrey, Mississippi; David Elmer Wiber,

After several musical selections the gradu-
ates, together with DR.. John T. Winter,
president Of the faculty. Mr.. Matthew G.
Emory, vice president of the university,
and Rev George V. Leech, took places on
the stage. Rev. Mr.. Leech opened the ex-
erciscs with prayer, after which Prof w.
D. Bigelow Of the Agricultural Department,
who is also a member of the faculty of the
school, addressed the graduates, unfolding
plan which he declared should be fol-
lowed to insure the health of the city, and
he charged the young practitioners to do
all in their power to secure Its fulfillment.
In referring to the water supply OF the Dis
trict, Prof. Eigelow set forth that Washing
ton would never be safe until its water Is
filtered, adding that Potomac water has
been pronounced unsafe even by the most
conservative experts.
DIR. Winter presented the diplomas to the
graduates, and as each name was called
it was greeted with applause, especially
that of the only young lady in the class,
Miss Strobel.
The valedictory, delivered by DR.. Edgar
Williams Watkins. was a scholarly effort,
and was fully appreciated by the audience.
DR.. Watkins treated of the problem of
young men now sent forth to practice medi-
cine, and INDUCED in considerable wit at
the expense of his class mates. The exer-
cises closed with a benediction pronounced
by Rev. Mr.. Leech.

The stranger promised

The old estate where George Mason
reigned a veritable lord of the manor

The Mansion 1t Stands.
Gunston mansion stands on Gunston
Point, overlooking Ponick bay. six miles be-
low Mt. Vernon. 1t is fine old mansion of
Scotch bricks brought over in tobacco ships
as ballast, and was built in most substan-
tial manner. 1t was very much injured

dust of it's author, George Mason, whloa
lies buried in the little grave yard near the
mansion. Gunston Hall was the home OF
Mason. The plantation, as it was called
in those old colonial days, extended over
more than a thousand acres, and adJolned
the estate of Mount Vernon on the south.
So George Mason and George Washington
were Ee!ghbors, and were both members
of Pohck Church, which they attended on
Sunday, and afterward, if history is to be
believed, renewed the asperities which char
acterized their relations to each other re-
garding such matters of the cultivation OF
crops, tie best sort of fences, and those
other subjects over which farmers love 10
differ.
Upon one thing how ever,t two Georges
were of one mind, and that was the In
dependence of the colonies. and both gave
to it's support all their ardpr ana Vigor-
Mason wrote the declaration OF rights
without question, and it is very clear that
Thomas jefferson in writing the Declara-
ton of Independence was saturated with
the ideas propounded by Mason in his
gr Eat paper. Before this, in 1863, George
Mason had drawn up the non-importaton
resolutions, adopted by the Virginia legis-
lature, and the series of twentyfour reso-
lutions TO the people of Fairfax county on
July II, 1114. in which the right of the
British parliament to tax the colonies was
reviewed and non-intercourse urged.
His Prophetic Warning.
In the debates in later Years on the
Constitution Mason argued against the
siX-year term for the upper branch of
Congress. He said: 1T will create an aris-
tocratic class Of public men. The Senators
viii build for themselves houses at the
tinue in office in spite Of the will of the
people"
