The closing of the present
school year marks the Forty
seventh Commencement of Cen
tral College. 1t has been an his
toric one in the history of the
school. Educational ideas and
conditions change with time;
and the Board of Trustees with
President z. NJ. Williams, to Sc
cure the best interests of the
College, have adapted themsel-
YES to the present conditions by
placing Central in the Junior
College class. By this they
simply adjust the status Of the
College in such a manner as to
come under the present ruling
that all important institutions
should have an accredited stand
ing as correlated one with the
other.
A comprehensive examination
of the College in every phase Of
its work was recently made by
a committee from the State Uni
versity. These gentlemen made
a most favorable report of their
Investigations, and, with sugges-
tions as to minor additions to
the library and to the physical
labatories, approved the entrance
to Central to the present educa-
tional scheme of the State of
Missouri. The work of securing
a 100000 endowment is still an
important factor in the schools
present policy and will be con-
tinued until the amount is Sc
cured.
During Commencement Week
the usual customs and traditions
were observed with some new
features. The Commencement
exercises proper were begun
with a music recital by Junior
pupils on Friday evening, May
26th. Following were events as
had been announced for some
weeks previous in The Intelli-
gencer. Every exhibition Of
work in special departments was
