The seyeuty-ffth annual commence
ment of the Medical College of the
State of South Carolina was held IN
the Academy of Music last night, be-
ginning at s O'Clock. The occasion,
as'always, was notable for the large and
fine looking classes in medicine and
pharmacy which had appeared to re-
ceive their well-earned diplomas, and
for the splendid outpouring of Charles
ton representative citizens and their
families to show by their presence
their approval of the excellent work
that is being done by the College.

viewed from either side of the foot
lights.
After a musical selection by the
orchestra short prayer was made by
the Rev. G. B. Smith, pastor of
Trinity N. E. Church. From this to
the close of the exercises the fullest
attention was noted in the great
assemblage. The members Of the two
classes were seated on the stage, wore
the regulation black gowns and
mortar boards and looked very grave
and dignifed. A very interesting pro-
gramme had been arranged, and this
was carried through as proposed. The
