Miss Bedichck's response to the
toast Tragedies" produced much
mcrrimeni. She expressed the opin-
ion that one great tragedy was to
stand before an intelligent audience
and be expected to say something
when you had nothing to say. She
could think of six worse tragedies,
viz: To be rs fat as Mr.. Taylor, To
be- as serious rs Mr.. lIardawny, to h.
in love with II soldier boy, to be as
iimid rs Miss Foster, to love Wis
consin as much "a Mrs. Rogers and
Mrs. Steckcr; perhaps n tragedy that
is worse than any of the others
Is to be as young as Mr.. Ellison and
Miss Stewart, which tragedy, how
ever, time might lalliate.
Mrs. Rogers suggested in most
pleasing manner that young people
were more endowed with hope and
wisdom nj the time of graduation
than any other period of their exist
cnrr, bnl admonishcd them that the
best of human cndcnvor was yet To-
h. performed. aud advised them to
take due and timely notice thereof.
Superintendent Taylor clevcrly oh.
served that if it had not taken 50
much time in waiting ire eloquent
responses of the previous speakers,
his own production could he given
more attention, giving the class the
closing thought thai had each mem
her needed the ndn onitions given by
The faculty. they might have been
better off. but that he was prouo o,
hem as they were
