The usual annual commencement exer-
clses took place Tuesday at the Seminary
opera House, (The Odeon). Tickets of ad-
mission were scarce, as the limited capacity
was necessarily reduced to friends and pa
rents of the pupils, of whom there were an
average of $50 attending during the past
term. Graduating diplomas were given to
twenty seven. The scenes about the beau
tiful grounds and buildings during the past
two weeks have been decidedly gay and
brilliant. No less than seven young ladies'
clubs gave separate operate or theatrical
performance in The Odeon seven different
nights in honor of '96 alumnae, to which
many others received invitations. The per-
formers showed the result of good training
and rehearsal and held the attention and
interest of the audiences from first to last.
The orchestra each evening of itself was q
musical treat.
The Prince of India visited the Seminary
on Tuesday and seemed to be interested in
Its every phase.
