creditable. Gallagher showed no mean
dramatic ability.

has brought him considerable local
fame before this. but last evening s
number was probably the most difficult

students 10 do all that they could to
that end. While the terrible struggles
between capital and labor have led

must take TO socialism TO avoid rank

ideals would solve the problem.

listened to by the audience and the
graduates. was followed by a selection
