THE RETIREMENT
OF DIR. I'll. R. TRASK.
Resolutions Presented at the
Commencement,


Crowded as were the columns of the
" Pioneer Wednesday, the Institute
commencement features could not be
treated as elaborately as was desired.
but the Importance of the commence
ment was not overlooked. The retire
ment Of DIR. III. X. Trask from the
school over which he has presided
since its Institution thirty years ago,
cast a gloom over the usual bright
and happy exercises attending the
closing of the school for the summer.
Nisibly affected was DIR. Trask when
he appeared before the graduating
class. He congratulated the mem
bers upon the success that had
crowned their efforts during their
course of study, and he then briefly
referred to the institution of the
school more than a quarter of a CEN
tury ago. His advice to the class
was earnest and sincere and was lis
tened to with all attention.
DR.. Trask was followed by Rev.
Frank Shermer, pastor of the Pearl
Street Baptist Church, and who years
ago graduated from the Institute un-
der DR.. Trask. He referred to the
intelligent, earnest work for the
school done by DR.. and Mrs. Trask
and spoke from an intimate know
ledge of the situation. He was glad
to pay Mr.. and Mrs. Trask the
tribute of having done their work
well, and spoke of the toll and hard
work in the preparation of the many
who had gone out from the school.
Rev. G. L. Hart, speaking for the
trustees of the Institute presented
series of resolutions adopted by the
trustees extolling the labor Of DR..
Trask, and expressive of the regret
felt in the loss of the school of his
valuable services.
A reply to the resolutions was en-
cumbent upon DR.. Trask. and he told
how he regretted to leave the old
school after being its principal these
thirty years In that time he had
many times found himself upon the
stage of the Opera House, but here,
at this time, he realized that it vas
the last time he would be called upon
to present the diplomas to the sue
cessful graduates.
DR.. Trask spoke of the early history
of the school, and of the growth it had
made financially and in popularity.
He referred to the care always exer-
cised in the selection of the teachers
and the great success in various lines
that had followed. He concluded by
suggesting something that had for
years been in his mind. He felt that
the city should interest itself in the
Institute, West Jersey Academy and
Ivy Hall as municipality, each year
paying to them substantial sum
thus obtaining for the graduates of
the High School free SCHOLARSHIPS in
either of the institutions.
