The public is invited and urged to
be present at the entertainment which
is to be held in Lindley hall.
Drive Date Changed.
A change in the time of holding the
commencement drive, an event of
much importance at the college, has
been made. Instead of being held
Wednesday evening, the day of COM
mencement, it is to take place next
Tuesday This places the event
in the regular commencement
program and gives to it the sane
tion of the faculty. The change was
made for a practical reason. When
it was held the night of commence
ment, the students were kept at the
college an extra day, and it delayed
the preparations that are each year
made for summer school. Having the
ride Tuesday will enable the graduates
to leave for home Immediately after
the commencement exercises, the fol-
lowing Wednesday morning.

season is on at the college before, it
certainly came into a full appreciation
of the fact today. when for the first
time, the seniors appeared in their
caps and gowns. In chapel the final
exercises of that nature were held and
President r. l.. Kelly made a talk to
the graduates and students, appropri-
ate to the occasion. Ffguratively
speaking. many tears were shed as
the class of 1907 closed one of the
most interesting features of its life at
the college.
Everything is now activity at the
institution and all efforts are being
made to make the commencement
time joyous one. It is not certain
that Speaker Joseph Cannon will be
able to attend the commencement ex-
ercises, as was his intention. Some
time ago he expressed a desire to be
present at the annual festivities, es-
pecially did he want to come this year
when the school has made such nota-
BILE progress over the days of boarding
school when Speaker Cannon attend
ed. No place has been given Speaker
Cannon on the set program, but in
case he comes he will be called on for
an address.

of commencement week will be the en-
tertainment Monday evening by the
