Helen Josephine Baker spoke in her
Grafton of THE Individual Purpose"
Hers had the rustic of skirts about it,
in the f1owery wording and peculiar
sentiment. Her definition of genius was
the pursuit for the achievement
of great desire She buoyed up those
who had failed by asserting that Sue
cess was not always the mark of genius
or worth, for the reason that environ
ment and occasion had much to do with
success. Her word painting was meri-
torious and her delivery good. Espe-
c:ally we'll rendered was her word
painting of the playing Of the musician
Handl. A burst Of applause rewarded
her.
Marion Effie Potter, diminutive
miss, delivered the valedictory in a
happy manner. She babe farewell to
professors, classmates and the univer-
sity and thanked all for what had been
done for them, in the name Of all. She
promised for the class Of '97 that it
would make a record that even the
university would not be ashamed Of.
The regents she heartily thanked for
the many improvements that had been
made in the face Of hard times.

the professors, their smiling classmates
and students, their friends and rela-
tives, by classes, the graduates mount
ed the steps, and, with backs to the
vast audience, listened to the few COM
plimentary words Of their dearly be-
loved PrRXV q c he 10 f.
tie roll which was their open sesame to
the world before them; to the life of
struggle and of care, of joy and of
sorrow. The young men tried to look
unconcerned, the young women gulped
back the rising sob, and brushed away
the yelling tear, and yet all were hap
Ply. Perhaps the tears were the excess
of happiness, but yet they were part
ing from four years of association, and
1t was hard
The candidates receiving diplomas APP

has been i'll, and President Northrop took oc-
casfon to deplore the fact that he could not be
