The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1900-05-26

solos, duets and quartettes, all worthy
of the public approval bestowed. The
pupils were complimented with almost
perfect attention during their perform
ances. A gentle admonition from the
president, at the start, was all that was
necessary to insure perfect order to the
close. We have seen it SO different, on
other occasions, at other places, it is
genuine pleasure to note this evidence
of consideration and refinement.
An informal reception to Gov Longino
and Senator Money took place in the
chapel at the close of the concert.
The Graduating Exercises
Took place on Tuesday morning, and
occupied from II am. until 1870 pm.
Another large audience had assembled.
After prayer by Rev. DR.. John L. John
son, and an instrumental duet by Misses
Covington and Young, President Kin
cannon introduced the orator of the
day, Hon. fernando D. Money. Col.
Money never writes a speech, and never
refers to note, but in his public adj
dresses depends very largely on the oc-
casion for his inspiration. And there
was enough in the scene before him to
occupy an hour and twenty minutes.
We shall not undertake to stretch it.
1t was all about woman-her sphere,
her opportunities and her privileges.
1t bristled with gems of sound and
sensible advice, pleasantly expressed.
Mr.. Money said he wouldn't give the
advice of one good woman for that of
colony of statesmen; that the advice
of woman might seem a small thing,
but he who doesn't take it is fool. He
advised the graduates to get married,
provided they had offers worthy OF
them. He said the normal condition of
woman is that of wife, mother, nurse
and cook, but cooking could be done
by proxy.
Governor Longino presented the di-
plomas and certificates to the graduates
and profcients, and in doing so made
some exceedingly appropriate remarks
to the young ladies. The governor had
net intended to remain over to the
graduating exercises, but he was very
willingly prevailed upon. 1t was his
FIRST visit to the college, and it is very
safe to say that it will not be his last.
