TsPECIAI, TO THE rRESzt
waterville, June 27.-An intensely hot
day, accompanied in the middle of the
afternoon by heavy thunder storm did
not in anyway interfere with the pleasure
of Colby graduating exercises today. AT
the church in the forenoon there was n
very large attendance, and in the after
noon Memorial hall was crowded 10 its
entire capacity by the large attendance at
the Alumni dinner.
President Butler presided most happily,
introducing first Col. Philbrook Of Angus
ta, who presented to the college an oil
portrait OF the late Rev. DIR. Joseph Rick
er. Col. Philbrook made the presenta-
ton in behalf of Mrs. Philbrook, who
Is a daughter Of DIR. Kicker. The gift
was accepted on the part of the college
by Hon. Josiah Ii. Drummond of Port
land.
The next speaker of the afternoon was
Gen. Charlss Hamlln of Bangor. He
was followed by Dr. Ii. 5. Brrage oil
Portland, who recalled how thirty years
ago Prof. Halnlin had selected the lion
of Lucerne for the figure above the tablet
in Memorial hall, being attracted to the
design through photographs of Thorwald-
sens work brought from Europe by DIR.
Burrage. That lion symbolized fidelity
and Dr. Burrage expressed the hope
that the alumni of the institution would
bear the lesson in mind in considering
the need of increasing the institution s
endowment.
