Miss Heidner declared that men were
taking advantage of society by coma
pelling people of small means to work
In factories and deprive these de-

with all his gifts, she asserted, has not
done as much good with his money

better examples OF genuine and helpful

Senator McDowel's Address.
The address OF Senator Mcdowell on
Old Fashioned Idees, which closed the
mornings exercises, was one of the
nnest that has been heard at n OF
the A. c. comnnencements In years.
The senator's talk was not lengthy.
barely lasting half an hour. but it was
one OF the good old home-spun kind
that is of the most profit. He did not
speak from notes but related q number
of amusing incidents in his own life
and experiences thereby keeping up his
well known reputation as a clever
story teller.
Senator Mcdowell spoke of the great
work that is being done in the recla-
nation of the lands by the efforts of
the government and the agricultural
scientists and colleges. He told the
young men graduates that he would

who had been agriculturists OF many
years standing how to farm, as many
of the modern graduates are prone to
do these days. His advice was to try
and profit by what they had learned
In the great farm school so that they
could farm well themselves and teach
the coming generation how to till the
soil properly.
He said that the recollections of
school and college life were the
sweetest anyone ever had and there

teresting things and -curriculums pro-

students take an interest in their
studies that would help them the most
and not waste so much time On Latin,
Greek, Sandskrit and the dead langu-
ages unless actual practical use were
TO be made OF these subjects.
No special advice was given the
young women graduates, because the
senator felt he was not so well fitted
to speak to young women as he was
young men. His advice to the female
contingent Of the the class was to
gather around at the knee of some
good old white haired mi who
could tell them all the things they
really ought to know and how best to
help along in the world as the real
women should do in this world. That
was the best advice he could give
the young women, he thought.
Diplomas Presented.
President Worst then presented the
diplomas to the graduates with a few
remarks that were most befitting and
in his usual eloquent manner The
last words of the president to his
pupils were indeed most touching
and were deeply felt by all who lis
tened.
From the armory the graduates
wended their way to Ceres hall where
they sat down with the members OF
the faculty to the commencement din
ner, which was followed this afternoon
at 8 o'clock by the presidents recep-
ton.
The annual alumni ball and banquet
will take place this evening after
which the members Of the class will
pass on to their various walks Of life.
Yesterday afternoon the senior class
