DR, KENT SPEAKS AT TIE UNIVERSITY One Hundred and One De
 grees Conferred HOP" LAST NIGHT Dr. Rents Address Was Along Thor Oughly Practical Lines and
 Was Greatly Enjoyed By
 His Hearers
By J. G. BELL

Tuscaloosa. May S1.-(Special) )-The eightieth annual commencement Of the
 University of Alabama was brought to q
 most successful close tonight with the
 senior hop" following the commence
 ment oration delivered this morning by Dr. Charles William Kent professor or English literature at the University of Virginia, and the awarding of 10l degrees
 pr. Rents address this morning on .The Century's Need of Efficient Men, . with especial reference to the south, was pronounced unanimously, by all who heard it as one of the finest and most in teresting addresses ever delivered before an academic body. The speaker of the day disproved by his effort the common assertion that a college professor is the least practical of men. for the substance of his discourse ran easily along chan nels most widely divergent from book learning. Among the subjects Dr. Kent discussed were agriculture, industries railroads, and even the trusts.
 The opening remarks of pr. Kent were addressed to the friends, patrons and offi- cers of the institution by way Of re- minding them that he had on a previous occasion had the opportunity of speaking from the same platform, and that he had been signaIly honered with the honorary degree of IL. l., D." granted him at that time by the institution.
 pr. Kent first undertook to show ms audience at some length the nature Of the great struggles being waged in England and America for the possession Of the soil and he pictured to what extent the greed and prodigality of the first settlers hao retarded the maximum results from agn- cultural development. To the great ln- equality of urban and city population the sneaker attributed the foundation of all nolttical differences.
