It was shortly after 10 o'clock yes
ferday morning when the members of
the university normal graduating class
of 80 marched through the thronG that
filled the art gallery to their places on
the platform. THE Stars and Stripes
Forever" WAS the tune to which they
stepped, and as they entered. a great
burst of applause greeted them. As
soon as they reached their places, To
the same tune they sang Behold Our
Dear Glass Here So Fair a fit begin

Srammes that has ever been rendered
in the university halls.
The art gallery had been very ar

university colors. the bazaar in which
the class We're seated being especially
attractive. FeStoons of Yale blue. the
class color, adorned the chandeliers.
and the class motto, Rowing, Not
Drifting had been carefully drawn
upon the side board. So well, indeed,
had the decorating been done that the
Alumni committee decided to preserve
the same decorations for their ban
quet tomorrow night.
The programme was a very appro-
pirate one, and was filled with features
both wise and witty. The class songs
formed a very prominent part were
sang with spirit and were well re-
ceived. Just One Class was sung in
stead of Just one Girl" The tune

graduates to make numerous hits at
the expense of the members of the fac

pleasant duty of presenting to the uni
Versity and board of regents, in behalf
of the normal class of '99. the sum of
$50, which is to be the nucleus of a
classes have been donors to the Ii
brary. but this class has established a
precedent of aiding its alma mater by
beginning the accumulation of money
that Will some day support a scholar

College Glass Exercises.
The college graduating class held its
clasS-day exercises last night in the
laboratory building. These dignified
seniors appeared in caps and gowns,
and in a nonsensical way dramatized
numerous phases of college life and
spirit. The plot of their performance
ridiculous performance it was-was
an effort to regain their identity, which,
they assumed. had been absorbed by
the college women and Delta Phi. The
search was begun and continued until
all the corners of university life were
perhaps enchantment, to their perse |
Vering search.
Amusing features OF the performance |
were the finding of a white bottle rep |
resentative of the juniors; an invisible |
something. of the sophomores; and a !
green plant, of the freshmen.
Before the exercises closed, NJ. r. |
Porter. the class president, presented |
TO the library of the university a num-
Der Of volumes by recent writer's of /
English. The books are representative |
of recent English literature. Among |
these volumes are ''Pudd'nhead Will |
son" Lorna Doone." Quo Vadis,'
Fair God" Ben Hur'' and Kentucky |
Cardinal
At the close Of the seniors perform
ance, the freshmen took the stage and
offered an amusing criticism of the eX-
ercises of their graduating friends.
