Start in on Saturday for its
Annual Exercises.

kota Wesleyan University will occupy
the attention of the public with its
twenty-third commencement exer-
cises, which will last until the follow
ing Thursday evening.
The largest class of seniors will be
graduated at this time than ever be-
fore in the history of the institution,
as there are twenty members in the
class. The other departments will
also have large classes.
Good speakers have been secured
for the various entertainments Of the
week, and it is designed to make the
exercises exceptionally interesting.
The senior graduating exercises this
year will be held in the Methodist
church-the first time that these ex-
ercises have been held outside Of the
chapel of the institution.
1t is expected hat there will be
quite a large number of visitors to the
commencement exercises, as has been
the case in past years.
The board of directors will be con-
fronted with a difficult problem in
securing a successor to President
Nicholson, who goes to New York to
become the secretary of the Board of
Education Of the Methodist General
Conference. Rev. j. B. Taylor, of
Aberdeen, has been mentioned by the
papers of that city as the probable
successor to the position, and his can

Minneapolis, will also be likely con-
dency.
