The closing number Of the COM
mencement program consisted of the
annual address before the literary
societies, by DR.. D. D. Wallace, OF
Wofford College, the awarding of d.
plomas and medals, and the an
nouncements. Prof. John G. Clink-
scales, LII. D., of Wofford, was to
have delivered the address to the
societies, but was prevented by ILL
ness from doing so. The message
brought by DR.. Wallace was in every
particular worthy of the occasion. He
spoke on the subject, Social Obliga-
tions of an Educated Man or Woman" "
The address was a gem and made a
deep impression upon the large audi
ence gathered to witness. the final
exercises of the commencement pro-
gram.
It was announced that the schol-
arship medal had been won by Willis
Owens, of Aiken county. Among the
announcements there was none more
interesting than the statement that
the faculty next year is to be enlarg-
ed, and that the additional member
will be Cadet K. l. Buse, of the
graduating class of the Citadel, who
will have charge of the school ath-
letics, and also do some class room
work. The school hopes to be pro-
vided with a gymnasium by the open
ing of the fall term. Another impor-
tant announcement was that Mr.. Rob-
ert T. Fairey, of Wofford Colleges S
