CLOSING EXERCISES
or the Southwestern Intlllst rial
lnstItute-rhe End Of a Most
Successful: Session.

The exercises at the South
western Industrial, which began
last night in the auditorium and
which will be concluded Mon
day. mark the close of "a very
successful session. In point of
attendance the Institute has
done as well as was hoped for by
it's most Sanguine well -wisherS,
and judged from the safer critic
riOn of results the first year of
it's existence has been a pro
nOunced success. To set in har
mOniOuS action the different de-
partments of an institution such
as the Southwestern Industrial
requires more than a day, or a
month, or year: it is the work
of many years to lift it to the
apex of it's usefulness. Hence,
when it is considered that the
Southwestern is only one year
old, it's accomplishments are de
serving of more than usual
praise.
The past week was taken up in
the final examinations, and each
student was rated according to
his or her merits. The general
average has been very satisfac-
tory, showing that the faculty
and students have done good
work. The exhibits in the va
rious departments evidenced the
studious application of the
students and the splendid train
ing they received from the
teachers. At 10 o'clock this
morning the public are invited
to examine the work in the sew
eral departments. The program
for last nights entertainment
was of a musical character.
Prof. Florent Sontag, the gifted
teacher of music at the Institute.
is to be congratulated on the
success of the entertainm ent,
and the young ladies' and gentle
men are all deserving of their
share of praise for the credita BILE

The TraInnen's Ball.
The people who attended the
ball at Fall1' hall Thursday night
are indebted to Morgan $ Lodge,

The committee in charge of the

their duties so we'll that nothing
was lacking to make the ball a
source of uninterrupted enjoy
ment to all the guests. The
committee, assisted by several
young ladies, had decorated the
hall in a very tasteful manner
with palmettOes. magnOlias and
evergreenS. The cOlOrs of the
brotherhood, emblematic of the
different signals which are so
familiar to the railroad men,
were delicately blended. Good
music furnished by Lafayette
musicians afforded the lovers of
the dance Il splendid opportunity
to enjoy themselves. Finan-
cially, the ball was more than
satisfactory and socially it is
concededly the most successful
affair given in Lafayette since a
long time.
