Maryville College. This year had
the horor of seeing the eightieth
1 Class-a Class the peer of any in
past years-go forth from the sacred
walls of Alma Mater This class is
one of bravery, deep thinking young
men and women who during the past
school year have been at work on
fstheses that would do credit to men
Iswho have taken both doctors and
| masters degrees.
n In giving an account of the Com
mencement Exercises it will be well
| to give brief word concerning each
Isspeaker.

/ great ability, gave an address showing
