ST. MICHAEL'S COLLEGE,.
Thirty eighth Annual Com nj en- cement
of the Oldest Educational Institu-.
tiOn in the SOuthwest-ElabOr
ate Exercises.

The Thirty-eigth annual commence.
ment of st. Michaels college will long be
remembered by those who had the pleas
ure of attending it as one of the most
successful, as we'll as brilliant exhibitions
ever held in this territory. Each and
every part Of the splendid program was
executed in manner that would do credit
to artists of far wider experience than
that usually found in the classroom. The
spacious and handsomely decorated as
sembly hall was crowded to the doors by
admiring friends and residents, as we'll as
visiting parents of the boys, and more
appreciative audience it would be difficult
to find.
The discoursing of sweet music by the
college orchestra and band was a special
feature Of the evening, while the oratorical
efforts of the members Of the advanced
class drew forth rounds of applause. The
respected president, Brother Botulph,
addressed the class and proceeded to re-
ward the fortunate youths who stood
highest in their respective grades. Five
beautiful gold medals were the premiums
and the happy winners were John Jaap
and Abelino Mejia, for conduct; N. Cam
psgnoli, for general standing, first grade;
Antonio Castillo, second grade, and Fran.
cisco Chavez, third grade. The presen.
tation was made by Very Rev. Anthony
Fonrchegu, vicar-general, and Judge
Laughin.
The training of these young men re-
fleets credit on the faculty of the college,
and is deserving of the highest praise, for
it is ample proof that, at the present day,
an education can be received within the
limits of this territory equal to any that
is to be obtained in institutions of similar
standing in any part of the country.
The scholastic year just closed at this,
the oldest educational institution for
young men in New Mexico, has yielded
results unlocked for by even the most
sanguine, and the next term, which opens
the first week of September, promises to
be still more prosperous one in develop.
ing the noble work.
