Address to the graduates ...
Very Rev. w. r. Harris, D. D., LII. D.
The address of the evening was de-
ivered by the Very Rev. Dean Harris,
who congratulated the students on the
success of the entertainment, and then
spoke of the defiance of the truth, the
superficiality 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 perseverance which threaten
the stability of society Thus, taking

bridesmaids, flower girls, ushers and,
alas, that we have to admit it, an ac-
credited minister of a fashionable
church. The Lohengrin march, we are
told, was played for the suspicious oc-
casion, and, for the sacred ring, en-
blematic of the indissolubility of mar
riage, there was substituted a paddock

his pocket. At Atlantic City an Epis- |
copal minister introduced wrestlers and |
pugilists, cheap singers, and song-and- |
