YEARS OF STUDY CROWNED

ATEs RECEIVE DIPLOMAS.
Kindly Words Of Advice to Young
Ladies Spoken by DR.. Menefee and
Representative Murdock.

Years of study were crowned with final
success when DR.. F'lournoy Menefee, pres
ident of Washington College, presented
the young ladies of the class of 90 last
night at the annual commencement eXer-
cises with their diplomas. In his remarks
DR.. Menefee said the moment was one of
the happiest he had enjored since Wash
inSton College was established fourteen
years ago. He said he wanted to tell the
young ladies of the graduating class that
their undergraduate work had been espe-
c1aly pleasing to the faculty of the in
stltution and that he hoped in the years
to come they would look toward the old
school as a college mother-an alma ma
ter who loves her daughters, through the
mist of the years that so.
DIR. Menefee also declared that he be-
heved the class of 90 was about the best
the college has ever had to leave its por-
tails. but as he finished he said he felt
some embarrassment by reason of the
fact that about sixty of the graduates Of
former years were sitting before him as
the house guests of Mrs. Menefee and
himself and he remembered at the mo-
ment that he had told them the same
thing on their graduating evenings. He.
however. averred that at each succeeding
commencement he must give way to the
affection of the faculty of the institution
for the graduates, and that it was espe-
cially appropriate to tell the class that 1T
is the hest one

establishment 1t was. she said, the one
college of the city where equal rights
were given men and women.
That the college had prospered. she

Address of Mr.. Murdock.

Representative Victor Murdock of Kan
sas delivered the address of the evening.
In his opening remarks he called the at
tention of the young ladies of the class
to the fact that they should ever look up
ward for the ideals of life. He declared
that it is necessary for beauty and grace
to go hand and hand with intellect and
that the girl who has the two former
must have the latter to attain the full
measure of success in life.
While the representative did not advise
the young women to eliminate the theater
from their lives he called attention to
the fact that the things they see beyond
the footlights are not real and earnest
the things of life and that the crown
seen there lis only the crown of tinsel.'
He declared life is different from that of
the stage platform and that the young
women entering the life of society and
the home should ever bear in mind that
to be real woman in every sense of the
word and to look forward toward the real
beauties in life is the only happy exist
ence.
Continuing the representative advised
the young women to the newspapers
of the day. He said they should shun
those of the sensational variety, for the
news is not as it seems. 1t is fiowered
and colored and leads to false impressions
of the public happenings of the hour.

consisted of a chorus, Merry June Win

and a piano quartet. Ride of the Val
kyries" CWagner> by Misses Burch. Nc
