University day dawned bright and
clear and there was scarcely a cloud
in thu sky. Even nature and the
weather was IN sympathy with the
occasion and it was a day that in
many respects will long be remember
elty, graduates and students by their
various classes fuImed in line at the
west end of :he main building of the
University and at 10 o'clock all was
ready and thu procession started for
their snnuaI walk through the grove
to the large tabernacle. On the way
they sang their school songs and
Everybody was joyfully happy. 1t
was indeed beautiful sight to see d
march OF this character, with about
$50 bright ard vigorous young people
In line. A visitor on the grounds stat
ed that he had been to many com
men cement occasions, but that this
was one Of the prettiest sights he had
ever seen.
The Faculty, with DR. H. C. Morri-
son the orator of the day, and the
trustees were seated on the platform.
The student body occupied seats back
of the graduates in the center block
in front of the platform. The decora-
lions were extremely simple, as it
seemed that nature had already pro
yided a setting sufficient unto the
day and its import. Prayer was OIL
| fered by Rev. A. L. White, of Eldora,
AID this was followed by a beautiful
piano sclo by Miss Bertha L. Buell..
The University chorus rendered
a Sons of Praise with the bass
solo part taken by Prof. J. w. Leedy,
and following this was the commence
ment address by DR.. H. c. Morrison.
Afte ra few preliminary remarks of u
congratulatory character, he an
nounced his subject as The Value OF
Human Soul" basing his thought on
the words What shall it profit a
man. if he gain the whole world and
lose his own soul" The beauties OF
architecture, the gorgeous palaces OF
royalty and other luxuries can all be
replaced. A great city is of great
value but it's worth can be meaSur-
ed A great continent is almost be-
yond value and yet We can conceive
of it's great value, but when we con-
template a soul as given from the
hand of God. it is beyond our knoWl-
edge. Had it not been for Jesus
Christ we would never have known
! it's value. The soul is immortal and
| it will live throughout all eternity.
In the creation of the universe alter
all other things had been made perfect
and complete, there was still some
thing lacking and God said Let us
make man in our own image. he
was Gods masterpiece in the Work
of creation. Mans origin was holy
and it is Gods will that he should re-
main so. DR.. MorrisOns closing pleH
to the graduates and his council re-
garding their future work will proba-
bly, never be forgotten. The ad-
dress in it's scope and compass was
all inclusive and the audience was
thrilled and at times held spellbound
by the boundless reaches of his
thought. In all it was one of the most
eloquent addresses given here in re
cent years.
In closing the University chorus
rendered What Snail it Profit Man
by request All were delighted with
the event and words of praise and
congratulation were heard on all
sides.
