The exercises were continued in the
town hall, which was filled with an
audience that had gathered to hear
the address Of Prof. Robert A. Arm
strong, of Grafton, W. Va. Prof. Arm
strong's address was clever exposi-
ton of the principles of Free Masonry
as applicable to right living and
worthy of consideration by students,
and was witty and interesting to a re-
markable degree. He illustrated his
points with bright anecdotes and per-
tinent quotations, and held the closest
attention of the audience. Short
speeches were also made by Hon. Ira
Z. Robinson, of Grafton, member Of
the Board of Regents Hon. Geo. NJ.
Beltzhoover, for thirty years member
of the executive committee Of the COL
lege; by State Senator R. G. Burk'
hart, of Martinsburg; and by Prlnci-
pal E. F. Goodwin. H. L. Snyder
presided over the meeting. Appro-
pirate music was rendered by the
choral union, and the benedictiou was
pronounced by Rev. Robert S. Doug
las, of Martinsburg.
The town presented an attractive
appearance to our visitors. The
streets had been nicely cleaned and
everything was in good order. Many
houses were decorated with flags and
bunting, but the rain played havoc
with the decorations in the afternoon.
