The Immigrant Glass Improving.

In the annual report of the commits sioner general of immigration there are some figures that tend to allay the America for Americans" cry, with es> pecial emphasis upon the need of re- strictions on the newcomers to our land. According to official information S12, ,S7O aliens arrived in the United States during the last twelvemonth; of these 1O9, ,15O had already visited the country. Nearly 100000 landed with a working capital of $50 each. the total wealth added to the resources reaching SEQ S94, ,SS3, which was an increase of s4.776.S7O oyer the amount of the pre- ceding year, despite the fact that the count of immigrants the year before had been larger by 45,O00.
 It is the conclusion of the commits sioner that the figures pertaining both to the illiteracy of the recent immigra- proves a betterment both in character and thrift There can be no disputing that contention The mere fact that the immigrants brought more money to the country this year than in a similar period of the time preceding can not be given as absolute confirmation of the statement that the class has inn proved as a whole; but 1t indicates less poverty-stricken condition. and ar- gues that the cases of all were not posi- lively hopeless prior to their departure from their native lands,
 Rather interesting is the reflection that Americans abroad in a year out number immigrants to the United States about two to one and spend probably five times the amount of mon ey that the settlers here bring with them from home And it is not unlike ly that the silly, vulgar extravaganza Of Americans in foreign countries does more harm to the national good name than all the immigrants can work in the first year of their standardization.
 Good work is being done by the com missioner in excluding paupers, dis eased immigrants and contract labor CTS. The agitation is bearing it's fruits; the immigrants are undoubtedly be- coming more desirable.

The members OF the class gathered In
front OF University Hall on the middle
campus side for the last march to Sayles
Hall as students where the exercises OF
the morning were to be held Reeves
American band rendered several selections
which were greatly enjoyed by the walt
ing throng OF spectators, while every
available seat In the chapel was taken by
an eager waiting crowd.
IN sAYLEs HALL.
Soon the classes marched in their long
black gowns and caps led by those officers
chosen for the last time and to remain
till the last member has been called from
earth. These were escorted to the seats
reserved for them by the marshals for the
day and when all were seated the cere-
monies commenced.
Reeves band rendered a short program
after which the president OF the class.
Mr.. Elmer Thompkins Stevens delivered
the address OF welcome.
In doing so he reverted to the first mo-
ments OF the class on the campus and the
scenes as we'll as the emotions that pulsed
In each breast when the career of four
years that ended today was first begun.
He traced the history OF the class from
the time OF the trepidations eXperieiced
as freshmen TO the present state OF noble
senior hood: from the time when the
sophomores laid all sorts OF plots 10 en-
trap them through that period OF Sopho-
more life and on into the more settled
life OF Juniors and now TO the end. when
each man was about TO step out into life.
He told OF the duties that devolved up
on the class with respect TO conduct to-
ward the world and toward Brown and
closed with a very strong appeal to the
members OF the class 10 preserve the high
standard established both morally and in
tellectually during the yeas as students.
THE CLASS GRAFTON.
Following the address by the president
OF the class. the class orator. Mr. Albert
Benjamin West, spoke on the Present
Day OPTIMISM voicing the sentiments
that follow:
"optisism has always been "A quality OF

Mediator yesterday morning.
In substance the sermon was as fol-
lows: "LeWas remind ourselves that the
present-day social disturbances are the
accidents and incidents OF the otherwise
orderly procedure OF our liberal and
beneficent government and our Industrial
development. The strifes and turmois
OF our time constitute the modern form
OF the age-lasting struggle OF mankind
toward a higher. larger. richer life. In
the past the dominant character OF the
struggle was military; century ago II
was political: today Il is economic. A
conspicuous feature of the great economic
struggle at present is that of combina-
ton. The combination OF vast numbers
of men on one side and the combina ton
Of fewer men with money on the other
side.
THE Industrial disturbances through
which we are passing were bound to
occur In a world OF human progress. and

hearted men. Such men will make a
good government and produce. in time,
an equitable and peaceful Industrial
order"
