Commencement

Boys AS Vast Audience
Applauds.

| The American boy is greater and
more to be enyied than an English
duke, because the American boy has
the privilege when he reaches the age
of q, of electing his ruler and the

his sovereign some one who has fall
en- heir to the crown

audience and presided over by His
Grace, Archbishop Pitaval.
The exercises began at O'Clock
when the college orchestra played
stirring march and those who arrived
a minute or two late found the large
auditorium packed with the friends
of the youths who were to receive the
honors they had striven for during
the collegiate year just ended.
Near the stage were seated the
Archbishop, with the vicar general,
the Very Rev Antonio Fourchegu,
Father Bobst Father Besset, Father
Pugens and Father Derasches, at his
right, and Brother James, the presi-
dent of the college and other persons
of distinction at his left.
