Bishop Kelley addressed the audience
and the graduates briefly. expressing the
Qualification it had given him to get back
10 Savannah in time to witness even a
portion of the exercises. He had Just
arrived by the Central Railroad train,
having been away on a trip to other in
stitutions of learning, where he had made
addresses. The Bishop is a pleading
speaker and his mannerisms always at
tract his hearers. When they are South
erners. his words. too. when he finds oc-
cssion to refer 10 the South, are received
with no less evidence OF delight.
The Bishop said that he found much
to crafty him in the methods of educa-
ton that are followed in the Southern
States, the only section OF the country In
which he feels any particular interest
The head is not regarded as the only por-
ton of the anatomy, and some attention

heart that found its way into the effort
of the valedictorian the Bishop expended
words of praise. He closed with con-
CALCULATIONS to his young friends of the
graduating c-ass of St. Vincent's upon
tAeir success.
The exercises were concluded with
coronation chorus. Love Shall Guide
Thee" by the senior classes. The group
ing was excellent in this, and the clos
ing number was a fitting finale to the
many pleasing ones that had preceded.
