at 1890 o'clock the largest auoiehce
that ever filed the Congregational
church greeted President Dan f. Brad
lev IF Iowa College. The baccalaure-
ate address which he delivered to the
| graduating class of the college was a
mastery and pleasing effort. DR.. Brad
ley in his public addresses follows
manuscript quite closely, but his theme
loses no force for this reason. He is
strong and ready thinker and his words,
always earnest and forceful, carry
weight.
The themes yesterday was the early
experience of the race in Eden. Dr..
Bradley used the revised version IN MS
scripture reading and treated the BID
lical text merely as an allegorical eA-
preston of the experience OF the race
in regard to the attainment of pleasure
and happiness. Paradise is the reward
of virtue and truth and self-sacritice.
Dr. Bradley's words to the gradual
ing class were call to world which
is good and charitable in its treatment
of men. 1t had nothing of the pessi-
mist's cry in it, but was full OF nope
and encouragement. 1t was call to
make friends with the world and to
serve it.
The choir was the largest that has
been heard in the church for years and
consisted of $50 voices. The Oratorio
Society united with the regular choir
for the service. The Sanctus Dominus
was rendered, Mr.. f. C. Condit singing
the solo part. DR.. Ephraim Adams, the
Veteran trustee, now "a years old, Of
fered the prayer of the morning. Dr.
adams is the only survivor of the origi-
nal board of trustees of Iowa College as
it was incorporated in 1S47. He has
been from the beginning a chief factor
in it's growth and prosperity. He is to
install the new president and dean of
the college on the 18th of June. The
graduationg class of 1902 numbers
about fifty members.
Yesterday afternoon at the chapel at
4 o'clock the alumni prayer meeting
was held and well attended by many
cut-of-town alumni as well as all in
Grinnell. The vesper service at 5 was
sic was rendered at each service of the
day.
