the annual address was delivered by Father
Stafford. The pupils who had received
their diplomas he encouraged to continue
their studies through life which he thought
was an even greater school than one in
which books alone were studied Those in
! the lower departments were urged to take
the example of those who had gone before
them and he hoped that in the future as
! good classes as the present one would be
| graduated He thought that the Academy
should be congratulated on the women il
] had given to the world.
