The term concert by the music de-

under the direction OF Prof. Herbert

given at the Colonial Theatre last
night to one of the largest audiences
ever gathered in that theatre. The
concert was pronounced by all per-

dered with a perfection surprising to
those who have not kept up with the
work of the class during the year.
The thorough work of the class and

dered. The two numbers rendered by
the Girls Choral Club, THE Songs

Land | Claim" words and music by
Prof. Reed, we're particularly appre-

BRYAN BAPTIST ACADEMY

Eloquent Address by Judge kittreIl.

The final exercises of the Bryan
Baptist Academy commencement in
Colonial Theatre, beginning this morn
ing at 1890 o'clock, were marked by
many happy occurrences. A very ap-
preciatiye audience was present, but
it was remarked by many how strange
it is that anyone can stay away from
such valuable, elevating invigorating
exercises. Not for another year can
we witness these splendid scenes
again.
After the invocation and song Mr..
Hewitt gave short address upon
Bryan's attitude toward and RESPONSE
bilities to her schools. He said in
part:
Bryan is particularly proud of her
educational institutions. They have all
taken an advanced position, and have
raised higher standard in the last
year. The people. of Bryan recognize
their responsibility as to the kind of
an example that they set in civic life
and improvement. The people of

dress to the graduates. He was re-

when quiet finally prevailed he began

our pleasure to hear upon the theme,

that to take notes was impossible. To
