exercises proper concerned, and the attendant
farewell balls, the program at the Point is not so
different from that carried out at other big edu
cationa institutions at the close of the school

Yet for all this sameness, In respects
there is enough of novelty In the climax at West
Point to draw visitors by the thousand from all
sections of the country. Nor are the spectators

The Military academy Is probably unique
among all educational institutions in that the term

significance for the whole student body, rather
than merely for the graduating class. At West

the quota of cadets left behind to finish their

This universal significance of the commence

"A president in 1909. He seemed to en-

drove up to the main entrance. He
sprang from the carriage and ran
lightly up the steps, where a door man,
all smiles, recognized him and swung
the door open.
Colonel Roosevelt left his card for
Mrs. Taft, who is in New York. News
of his presence spread through the
house quickly and before he could get
away he had to shake hands with
many of the house servants.
