4tii DR.. G. ..Jss Bennett, presldentgot;
the Falrmont State Normal School,
makes some interesting announce
.nents to-day. & Some time ago It was. was
decided to have an address on COM
mencenents day Instead of the old
time essays and lorations By the grad.
uates, the class being so large as to
make ii impracticable TO follow the
former custom. AS the speaker for
the occasion. Dr. Bennett announces
that he has secured Judge George w.
atkinson. OF washing gton. b. {. for
mer governor ofASAVest Virginia and
we'll ]. known By 6all Of our people.
Judge Atkinson Is "a college man him
self.slavIng more college degrees at
tached to his name, we presume. than,
any other man who. has ever been in
public life in West Virginia. The sub
ject OF his commencement address Is.
.."The Integrity OF College Students" !"
Coming here from Washington. D.
CT where he Is a Judge In the Court
of Claims, our people will give a
warm welcome to former Governor At
kinson. The State Normal School Is
to be congratulated on securing Judge
Atkinson for this occasion.
Another interesting announcement
is that Rev. B. W. Hutchinson. of
Washington. Pn.. former president Of
the West Virginia Conference semln.
ary, will prea cl the baccalaureate. ser.
mon before the Normal School. This
service will be held on Sunday. May
81. DR.. Hutchinson has many,
friends here who Will be glad to hea :
him speak. When Rev. Hutchinson
was president of the Seminary ut
Buckhannon 1t was his custom to
preach the bnccalaureate sermon be-.
fore the graduating class each yea:.
and he made lasting impression upon
the young men and women to whom,
he addressed hinself in particular.
Again the Normal School is to be con-
graduated. for securing such an able
man as Rev. Hutchinson to preach the
paccalaureate sermon.
DR.. Bennett still further announces
that he has received word from
State Superintendent Miller to the ef-
feet that sufficient help will be given
from the State that the Training De.
partment Of the Normal will be run In
connection with the summer term OF
the school. This will be quite an at
tractive feature and ought to make
the summer term a great success.
Credit will be allowed In the regular.
courses for work done In the summer
school. n n,
Beginning May Is. Mr.. Mc1nhre. of
Ohio. under direction OF the State
Board OF Agriculture. will give a se-
rles OF lectures at the State Normal
School He will run a regular class
and farmers are invited to be present
md get Information which would be
Of value to them.
The Normal School is beginning to
branch out In It's work as never be.
fore. It has the largest attendance
in Its hltsory and It's work Is being
recognized as of very high order.
The people OF Fairmont and Marion
county have great reason to be proud
OF this great Institution Of learning To-
Gated In their midst.
