SCHOOL Superintendent IS
TARGET ROTTEN ECCS--REWARD
FOR DETECTION OF MISCREANTS

Mayor E. E. Finnimore has offered
a reward of s25 for information that
will lead to the apprehension and ar
rest of the parties WHIP were guilty
Of the egg-throwing incident Friday
evening when Superintendent of
schools w. H. Patten, his wife and
another lady were made the victims
of q volley of rotten eggs. The affair
happened just as Mr. Patten and the
ladies were turning to enter The
Raymond, where they live. after at
tending the graduation exercises of the
high school at the City Opera house
Friday evening. The mayor stated
that such an act was disgrace to the
city and4that the guilty ones deserved
punishment.
The miscreants who did this dis
graceful act were hidden behind the
Ware parlorS connected with the Uni
tartan church, and it was there that
a bag containing some rotten eggs
was found after the incident was over.
1t is said that some of the leaders of
the affair hurried from the hall and
were lying in wait for Mr.. Patten
when he should return to his home.
Great Indignation was expressed on
the street Saturday in regard to the
matter. Over and over again people
We're heard to call it "hameful pro-
ceedng" and q disgrace to the city.
Considerable criticism of the bringing
in of things foreign to the graduation
program on Friday evening was also
heard. This referred to the pIesenta-
tion from the class of a gift to Mr..
West, which it was said should right
ly be done in the school, and the pre-
sentation of travelling bag by the
merchants Of the city. through the per-
son of Harry S. Brown, which it was
remarked should have been done at
some other time and place. One citi-
zen who greatly deplored the incl
dent remarked as follows on the event:
THE occurrence last Friday evening
following the Waterville High school
commencement exercises at the Opera
Rouse was not only disgraceful. but is
extremely deplorable. / cannot believe
1t will be approved of by any self-re-
speeding citizen of this city.

nc schools of our city. covering sew

in believing that such procedure and
actions will be discountenanced bv n

the school and at the home makes for
good American citizenship in the fu-
ture and for loyalty to and respect for
American institutions and law.
THE young are very apt to follow
the illustrious example set for them
by older heads. Whatever was done
last Friday evening most probably
was the logical result and sequence of
the agitation, with relation to the
High school, that preceded the incl
dent, and which, in my opinion, serv-
ed in no little degree to engender the
spirit Of rowdyism and of rebellion
against duly constituted authority.
The members of the present Board
of Education of this city, like those of
all former Boards of Education here.
have been chosen by the citizens of
Waterville, by election at the polls,
to exercise the powers and perform
the duties by the laws of this State
imposed upon them as such, as to
matters of school government and
control; the seven gentlemen now
constituting the Board are as well
qualified and able to care for the
good of our public school system and
are as much. to say the least, interest
ed in its efficiency as are any seven
other gentlemen that might be select
ed or elected from any special section
of this city or from other sections
thereof: otherwise. it is practically
fair to say, they would not have been
elected by a majority of all the citi-
zens. This Board acts through the
majority of it's members; it always
has, for that is the good American
way and the only way TO transact
public business. The members of this
Board are as near to the schools and
the school work being done therein
as any other citizen who is not active
ly engaged in them. If they are not
competent nor properly representing
their constituents they should not be
reelected. others should be chosen.

Impressive Last Chapel

Of the entries commencement week
was held in the Colby chapel last
Saturday morning at the Senior last

for the under classmen of the final
examinations, which are not required
of the graduating classes. and so the
seniors, after Q o'clock, felt severed
at last from the demands of college
activity. At $50 the senior classes

formed in line on the south side of
the chapel and marched in between
lines Of the undergraduates Regi-
maid II. Sturtevant of Livermore
Falls, president of the seniors of the
mems division, was in charge of the
exercises, and opened them by call
ing on those assembled for the sing
ing of Till We Meet Again" Pro-
fessor Henry w. Brown led in the
singing. After this. Miss Clara
Carnage, of South Bristol. president
of the seniors of the womens divi-
sion. read from the sixth chapter of
Matthew
William c. Dudley, of South Ber-
wick, chaplain of the class, offered a
simple but heartfelt prayer, and then
President Sturtevant introduced DIR.
Herbert G. Libby, '02, who had been
chosen by the classes as the speaker
of the occasion. DR.. Libby delivered
the last chapel talk, taking for his
subject What Makes a Great Col
lege." DR.. Libby's theme was that
of earnest, whole hearted sacrifice
on the part of students and faculty,
which, he said. goes farthest toward
making great college. He told of
devotion of son and husband to an
invalid woman devotion lasting IS
years, and quoted from the Scripture
reading by Miss Carnage. For where
your treasure is, there will your
heart be also" He said that that
which costs nothing is very cheaply
held, saying that if education has
been at the cost of no sacrifice. it
will mean nothing: that if college
days have been had at the cost of no
sacrifice, there will be no love for the
college resulting. AS example of
men wh6 had done much for the COL
lege throughout their connection
with it, the speaker mentioned DR..
Julian D. Taylor, and President Ar
thur J, Roberts.
At the close of DR.. Libby's talk,
Alma Mater" was sung for the last
time, and then the seniors, led by
the class marshal, Libby Pulsifer, of
Skowhegan, marched slowly out be-
tween the lines of undergraduates.
Immediately afterward. they went in
a body around the campus, cheering
the halls.
