CHICAGO MUSICAL COLLEGE.
Brilliant Features sf the Closing
Exercises.

Exercises.
There we're 1900 ana odd happy people IN
the Auditorium. Chicago, Tuesday evening,
June IS. Three thousand represented youth
and hope and ambition. and 1900 looked
on with Joy and pride and a happy con-
sclousness Of being the fathers and moth
ers of talent.
The Auditorium never looked prettier
than during the annusl commencement ex-
ercises Of the Chicago Musical college, the
largest institution Of musical learning in
America. The orchestra pit is filled with
flowers, all the girls wear their p]rettiest
white frocks, tie up their hair with their
best pink or blue ribbons. carry huge
punches Of roses and peonies and carna-
lions, and look exactly as important and
as delighted as they feel in being a part
OF so impressive a gathering.
The program is invariably carefully re-
hearsed. The medal winners seldom dis
play a disconcerting nervousness and fire..
quently behave like veterans. The selec-
lions are chosen to show the soloists at
their best, and are perfectly mastered and
capably rendered. Then each participant
In turn receives his or her bundle Of flow
ers as the tribute Of admitting friends to
promising genius and everyone applauds.
In the program Isaac VanGrove played
to movements of the Mendelssohn G minor
concerto; Miss Leonora Antoinette Allen
sang an aria from Romeo and Juliette;' :
Miss Pauline Schmidt played a violin solo.
Walter Rudolph gave with perfect poise
and assurance a brilliantly clear tone and
exceptional technical facility the Pader-
ewski polonaise; Miss Fern Granting SANG
my Heart is Weary Pauline Alfonte
played the Bruch G minor concerto for VIC.
lin; Miss Mary Elizabeth Highsmith sang
an aria from Verdi's "Ernani," and Miss
Grace Buedefeldt played the Chopin Nicode
Allegro de Concert"
After that Judge Tuthill complimentet
the young people, degrees and diplomas
were awarded; Carl Reckzeh's played, anC
everybody went home happier even thar
when they arrived.

INC ON the Cnmnnn.

At Yale and Princeton there is a gravi-
tation towards Capitalization of life on the
ampus by bringing more students TO live
on the college grounds. At Yale a much
larger, number OF the sophomore class will
live on the campus than formerly, and at
Princeton the building of a freshman dor
mitory will bring a larger number Of the
first year men o the campus than
hitherto. An effort in the same direction
Is being made at the University OF Wis,
consin. The English idea OF resident col
leges. in which there is real college life
and associations, Is superseding the Michi-
gan idea OF a few years ago OF a uni
versity being merely a place OF instruction
ard becoming a feature of university life
in a number OF institutions.

Only one Missouri Auction school.

1t is the one that gives actual practice
in bonafide safes. A local paper of Tren-
ton. Mo, has the following to say
Saturday resembled a, street fair. Mis-
souri, Auction school furnished the noise,
the county furnished the crowd. A stranger
passing through town Saturday would have
found 1t hard to believe that a show, street
fair. or some unusual attraction was not
here. All the characteristic ~accompani-
ments, the crowd, the noise, the buyers.
the sellers were here in force. The large
class of the Missouri Auction school held
perhaps the most spectacular of their regu-
lar street sales on that day. All the class
was on hand in the work and at one time
eight sales were being cried at the same
time, the property consisted of handker-
chiefs, horses and baled hay. and almost
everything else you might name. From five
to seven auctioneers were in progress the
greater part of the evening"
