Julius Silgard was the leading char.
actcr of the comedy and throughout
the entire performance maintained the
character of the eccentric Lord Creigh-
ton In n manner which brought forth
the continued applause of the audience.
The performance was credit TO the in
stltution and the concensus Of opinion
among those present was that the work
of Rev. G.. Chauve, who has had the
training of the young people under his
direct supervision, deserved the greatest
commendation Among those who de-

sistent work the applause of the au-
dlcncc were Thomas Hutchlson and Ar
thur McChrystal.
One of the hits Of the evening was
scored by Emmet Shields, who played
the part of the inn keeper with au
ability and conservatism seldom seen
IN one of his years on the professional
stage. The work of Clarence Ahern
brought forth the applause of the au.
dience when he called the trains in
life-like manner, which was perfect
imitation of the usual train announcer
in the depots of the large cities. Other
parts also were exceptionally sustained.

who congratulated the students on the
success of the entertainment and then
spoke of the defiance of the truth, the
and prejudice that had
crept into many of the leading colleges
and schools of the country. Speaking
along these lines Dean Harris said:
Stirring Address.
"Already these audacious denials of
The supernatural are being followed by
a looseness of morals and an ominous
invasion of irreverenee which threaten
the stability Of society. Thus, taking

Of irreyerance and travesty on the sane
tity of marriage was ignored by the
