Woman's College Commencement
Exercises.


baccalaureate sermon, at the Reformed
Church, by Prof. J. HI. Apple, presi-
dent of the College. The students
marched from the college to the church
in body, headed by the graduates
arrayed in cap and gown and were
seated in the centre of the church. The
church was tastefully decorated for the
occasion. Prof Apple took his text
from Acts tx, v. 6, "Lord, What Will
Thou have Me to Do?"
The course for becoming useful citi-
zens was very plainly explained to
those just starting in life. To the class
of '96 Prof. Apple urged that they fol-
low their class motto, mon Nobis
Solum.n not for ourselves alone; to live
not for self but for service.

and stately palms, very tastefully ar
ranged.
