President Haaerman made n brief ad-
dress on Bethany college. He made the
announcement that the college would
omen its door ~ usual next September
and he hopeu rhat II would continue TO
do so FOR many. many years. de
Thought thnt the world had need OF
Rethnny college, which during the
many years Of its existence had turned
out young men and young women BY
whom the world was benefited.
All the departments will be kept up
TO thci= high standard. and the art de-
partment will take more prominen;
place. A chair OF Biblical literature
would be added. Professor Hagerman
also stated that the trustees had hope
Tor the future in their plan almost per-
fected, whereby an endowment Of $780,
900 will be secured.
The orchestra then played a lively Sc
lection, during which the graduates
were dcluged with flowers. the gifts OF
friends. The next proceedings was for
the audience to walt until the rain ceas-
al. so they could leave the hail. which
was done about o'clock.
The alumni held n well attended
meeting in the afternoon and some
splendid short talks were made, In
which renewed loyalty TO the college
was pledged. Many delightful remi-
niscences were exchanged, and II was
n pleasant feature to hear clerical
aIumpus address another gentleman OF
the cloth as BILL" OF Jack" as the
case might be.
A very fine literary entertainment
was given in the evening by the AmeTi-
can Literary Society to q large audi"
cncN. whose appreciation was manifest
ed by frequent outbursts OF applause.
