two hundred and was the largest ever
given diplomas by a southern institu-
ton. DR.. NJ. M. Parks. president of
the college, was the recipient of many
cordial expressions of communication and
the enthusiasm of the students and WIS.,
itors alike attested in a most remarEa-
bic degree the popularity of the col
lege.

season was the alumnae reception sat
urday night given on the expansive lawn
of the college, hundreds of guests being
in attendance, among them being num-
Der of visitors from various portions OF
the south. The commencement sermon
at 1880 o'clock Sunday morning was
preached by DR.. Ashby Jones, pastor OF
the First Baptist church of Augusta.
GRADUATING EXERCISES.
Following the meeting of the alumnae
association at o'clock Monday morning
came the exercises when the graduates
were given diplomas. The graduating
exercises were simple and owing to the
large number of graduates the deliv-
cry of the diplomas had to be handled
with the greatest expedition possible
Mrs W. H. FELTON,, of Cartersvllle'
aged eighty-one, who was graduated SIN
ty-four years ago, delivered an lnsplr'
ing address to the class. Major X. >.

The most attractive feature from the
standpoint of the general public, Of the

open to the public Monday afternoon

ton of domestic science, art, including
dressmaking, cooking, agriculture, and
general practical application along other
lines, including poultry raising and even
cabinet work.
The commencement exercises which
have Just closed mark the termi-
nation of the twenty-fifth session of the
college and during the past ten years
it has made the greatest progress ever
recorded by an institution in the south.
1t is to DR.. NJ. NJ Parks, the president
