 The following songs were sung by the class during the programme: June" Schneider; Like as a Father" Cher ubini; '"The Flag" Hadley; class song, "19O4," Ella E. Sternchuss, '04. The words of the class song were musical and well adapted to the occasion. All of the singing, which was led by Prof. Benjamin Jepson, was very sweet and clear, a pleasant parting note.
 | The class histories gave the faults and virtues of the class. They were very witty and were filled with merry 'knocks'' and "reminiscences of funny happenings of old days. Anthony De Matty was especially applauded Dur ing his history, while following out the regular custom of calling on the one being mentioned to rise, he made the pretended mistake of saying, Please leave the roon," instead of Rise" The other histories were by Miss Ida Bar ney, Miss Theresa R. Carroll, Morton J. Loeb, Miss Mary J. McKeon, Miss Anna H. Witz, Anthony O. De Matty and Miss Pearl A. Shamp.
 Miss Vera Oldenkirchen played a pi- ano selection from Liszt with skill and finished expression The class poem Twas by Miss Marguerite Allis, and was cleverly done.
 The class oration, "The Triumph of lthe Right" was delivered by Louis German. In it he traced the struggle which freed the slaves. Our present prosperity we have struggled hard to gain. This country was made up of inn migrants from many different sections, and as a consequence there were many different views regarding slavery The South and the North came to be as diff Iferent as though they were divided by an ocean. TOhere was struggle over Ithe representation in congress. Then came the terrible contest as to which states slavery should be allowed in The war came, ending the question and making a stronger and better union So the struggle for the right was tri- umphant.
