The orations of the graduates were
without exception excellent; showing
study and thought, beside much
knowledge upon the topics treated.
Prof. Stout may justly take pride in
this class of graduates, each of whom
is worthy of all the good words that
may be spoken of them. The oration
of Andrew E.. Anderberg, perhaps
had taken more investigation and
study into the events of the world g
history, than either of the others, its
discussion covering the hist ry of civil
ization, and the inde btedness of man.

Grecian history.

address to the people, the graduates,
and the school board, thanking them
all for their considerate acts they had
