Of Meharry medical, dental. pharma-
ceutical and nurse-traininng schools
We're held at Meharry auditorium on
Friday evening, the 21st, when the
spacious building was taxed to its ut
most capacity, so that it became nee
essary to place chairs along the
aisles to give accommodation to the
interested throng.
The exercises were begun at 8:15,
when a professional march pealed
forth from the Walden University
orchestra, under the direction of Miss
M. E. Braden, dean of the musics!
department of the institution, while
Prof. l. Berry presided at the piano
This was the signal for the entry of
the class representatives, and they
were now seen to march in single file
along the south aisle, to take their
places on the platform After this
there followed the invocation by Mr..
E. l.. Grant, of the senior dental
class, and then the master of cere-
monies Mr.. r. E. Smith, who is pres
ident of the senior medical class, ad-
dressed the audience in most bril-
liant and lucid style In very appro-
pirate language he sketched the stu
dent life of his class from its incipi-
ency in medical studies, to the pres
ent time, noted its distinctive charac-
teristics, and took occasion to thank
the people Of Nashville for the un-
bounded hospitality extended them
during their stay in the city.
Miss Hilda Lyttle, of the nurse
training school, read a paper on "The
Mission of a District Nurse" It ex-
cited a deal of interest, so very pro-
found were the thoughts embodied,
and so clear and distinct was her
enunciation, and reflected much credit
on the young woman
Mr.. A. Lee, of the pharmaceutical
department, made a speech full of
thought and one that impressed all
who heard him.
Mr.. w. S. Hardy, of the medical
class, was heard to advantage on
"The Call of To-day" He captivated
his audience and kept them enrap-
tured.
Mr.. S. A. Thomas, of the dental
class, was the last ST lker. He made
an excellent addre which charmed
the audience in an intense degree
1t devolved on Mr. E. R. Mattlson,
of the medical class, to present the
history of the individual members
CT the graduating classes. This was
a time of great mirth, for Mr.. Mat
tison, or pat" as he is known in
the college circle, is naturally full
of humor, and when it is told that
he threw the whole of his spirit into
his even task, it can be better imag-
ined than described what was the de-
gree of delight which he measured
to the crowd.
The musical contributions to the
program were of a classic nature,
and consisted of selections by the
dental glee club, a vocal solo by
Mrs. W. f. A. Torde, of the school
CT pharmacy, and an instrumental
solo by Mr. W. p. Saunders, of the
medical department Mr. L N. Bass,
the well-llnown basao singer. also

his beautiful specialties. At the con-
clusion the master of ceremonies

the history of the school.
