The Closing Exercises of the First haif-
S,,siou--Dr. Wharton speaks.

The chapel OF Richmond College was
thronged Oh yesterday TO witness the
closing exercises OF the first half-session.
IL was Convocation-D Day, and joyous
time i'm the history Of the institution. On
the platform sat the trustees and pro-
fessors of the College, and the invited
sneakers and guests The spacious hall
WAS crowded with merry colegians and
their friends. Rev. W T.. Hatcher, u.
II vice-president OF the Board OF Trus-
tees. presided. and made the announce
ments. President Boatwright made a re-
port Of the work OF the half-sessioD, and
the College Glce Club sang several merry
songs The principal addresses were de-
livercd by DR.. II. NJ. Wharton. OF baIt-
more. and Rev. w. w. Landrum, OF this
city. Dr. Wharton, whose work as an
evangelist. author, and pastor has given
him "A national reputation. made an ad-
dress i'm his happicst vein, blending the
humorous and the serious in an impress
sfve manner. n Or. Wharton were 20

moving voice would win all hearts; and
If he were 10 lose this tine quality In his

phrase. would still make him a master OF
assemblies. lie spoke warmly OF Rich
mond College. commencing especially the
ylgor. the success, and the abundant
promise OF the institution. under the guid-
ance OF President Boatwright. Dr.
Hatcher sided with the audience, and
artfully contriycd to elicit a song. In
response. Dr. Wharton sang Mothers
Way" bringing tears 10 the eyes OF those
whose rsblcs were strongly excited q
moment before.
DR., W. ". Landrum congratulated the
trustees and the student body on the
splendid report which had been made by
the president of the College. Some Of
the facts Dr. T.andrum mentioned are
worthy OF great thought. Out OF the
first III colleges established I'm America.
l0l were Christian institutions. founded
by some religious body. Thirteen mil
lion children are in the public schools Of
this land. these constitute our mental
militia. About i0S, 600 students are In at
tendance upon the instruction OF colleges
and universities. these are the standing
army. disciplined for hard and special SER
vice. Only one boy out OF every SO
goes TO college: hence the college-bred
man has five hundred chances more than
the unschooled. Thirty-two million dol
lars are invested in education by the Bap-
list denomination alone. and this Is only
indicative Of the tremendous interest In
education IN all lands.
DR.. I.andrpm concluded by asserting
his firm belief that VIC are Just upon the
eve OF a mighty career for Richmond
College His enthusiasm was heartily
echoed by the large assembly.
