BEREA COLLEGE COMMENCE.
MENT


Commencement Day, of Berea Coi'eg
is always the most important tim
Of the year. Each Commencement,
brings hustle and excitement amonl
the students. They put plays on
concerts, and graduation class ban
quets, besides taking examinations
and attending lectures.
This year great interest is being
aroused in the Vocational School and
the College. The College Alumni AS
ISOLATION voted, two years ago, to
hold its reunion annually instead of
once in three years, and this year
college graduates who have not been
back for many years are expected to
return for Commencement. This is
also the reunion year for the Voca-
tional School graduates, and repre-
sentatives Of the many departments
of the Vocational School have noti-
fed the committee Of their intention
to attend Commencement exercises.
One important innovation from the
regular order of events is planned
as follows: The entire program con-
nected with the graduation exercises
in the Tabernacle will be concluded
by 1890 o'clock. After an intermis-
sion Of one hour, during which pic
mic lunches will be enjoyed, the crowd
will gather around the open band
stand on the campus for an old fash
toned Homecoming celebration. The
band will render popular and patri-
otto music, and short speeches will be
delivered by eminent men. Dr.. VIM.
G.. Frost, whom the people Of East
ern Kentucky know so well and honor
SO greatly, will speak few words of
greeting and friendship. DR.. VIM. f.
Barton and DR.. J. A. R. Rogers, both
graduates and trustees of Berea, will
speak. All Of these men are more or
less widely known turnout this Sec
ton. But there is one other man to
speak on this occasion who should be
we'll known in Eastern Kentucky, but
who is doubtless better known in New
York City and other places, DR.. Jona-
than c. Day, born on Poorfork, Harlan
county, KY, walked twenty-five miles
70 school and worked his way thru,
and later graduated from Mccormick
Seminary in Chicago with a Doctors
degree, will be the chief speaker.
DR.. Day knows Eastern Kentucky.
He has fshed, hunted rabbits and
split rails in Harlan and Letcher
counties. He has preached with
power in California, Indianapolis,
New York City and other places. He
has befriended the foreign immi-
grants and grappled with the Tam
many ring in New York City politics.
He is a speaker of eloquence, and
his old neighbors of the mountains
should not fail to be in Berea on
Commencement Day to hear him.
Don't forget the Homecoming hour,
from 1:3O to 2:30 on Commencement
Day.
