Ihereare times wherein TO speak Of
a lady S age would be no breach Of
good taste, especially, when the sub
ject Of remark is so fair, well pre-
served, and highly honored. Although
those times are "few and far
between"-so much so that others
less rash might hesitate to rush
into this teyye fneognHa-still, we
feel that there is no risk in speak
ing Of the dignifed dame of fifty
winters that can point with excellent
pride to her fair and accomplished
daughters scattered wei this wide
western land each now-or soon to be
the guiding hand OF her own
establishment and well qualified to
inculcate those lessons so well
learned at the knee Of their benign
mother. Surely such a one is she
whom so many Of the daughters Of
the placid plains love to call alma
Mater. Then with perfect confidence
and pride we call her Lexlngton's
alma Mater and pour out to her our
heartiest congratulations that she
has reached her two score and ten,
being yet in the bloom and beauty of
youth. And now in the closing days
OF her "iubilee year, she offers high
entertainment extending over five
days, to her friends and patrons
composed not only of those who live
under the shadow OF her academic
pile, as it were, but to those afar of,
who. having Toasted their minds and
hearts in days agone, have learned to
love and revere her. This week of
entertainment she is pleased to call
her Commencement and it is de-
signed, with ~pardonable pride, to
display the intellectual accomplish
ments Of her younger daughters
those who are about to step out into
the wide, wide world, from the
tender, loving care OF their foster
mother. Nothing is old except by
comparison, yet we feel that we will
be pardoued for seeming to violate a
trite saying, If we should call atten-
tion to the fact that Lexington Col
lege had been sending forth her
daughters to bless the world many
years before some of the leading col
leges for women in the East had been
nodded from the sands Of the soil,

RECITAL-sCHOoL OF MUSIC,
The weeks festivities opened Sat.
urday evening, May goth, with a
recital given by the School Of Music
In the College Chapel. We do not
like to be invidious but we can
scarcely refrain from giving special
notice to some Of the numbers on
the program. A number Of those
who took part rendered their pieces
with such dash and abandon that
would bespeak for them an enviable
reputation In the realm Of music, and
verified the fact that the music
faculty, consisting Of Profs. Savage,
Newbrandt, Richardson and Leigh.
