The program was concluded with a
magnificent rendition of the first move
ment of the Rubinstein Concerto by
Mr.. Peterson. The massive chords
and ~arpeggios were played without ap,
parent effort and the melodic second
theme was beautifully phrased.
This program proved a splendid cul.
mination Of the musical season which
has offered so many good things. We
hope for still bigger and better things
for the coming year.
Sunday morning the weather was
beautiful and an unusually large crowd
was present at the b~accalaureate ser

ium. a splendid program had been
arranged and it was carried out in a
most pleasing manner by all of the
participants. The baccalaureate ser

Monday the different departments
of the college were open for inspec-

game between the faculty and seniors
was started, but it was stopped by rain
in the first inning, with the score 4 to
0 in favor of the faculty.
The class play, The Amazons," was
given at the opera house down town
Monday evening. The weather was in
keeping with that of the previous few
days and there was not as large a
crowd as usually attends these

usually put on by the college students,
but it was lone the less enjoyable on
that account. The young people all
out their parts in fine shape,
but we believe that Misses Slightam.
Grinols and Armstrong and Messrs.

of special mention. Miss Nellie Ken.
