COMMENCEMENT. UNDA Y, JU E 19TII-PRE IDE

PICKAHD' ADORE •

unday aft rnoon the Opera J louse wa again crowded to it utmo t capa ity with an audience ompo ed of the mo t cultured of

Iowa City' people, together with many vi itor from abroad. A fin r audi nee could not be de-ired by any speaker than that

whi h a embled to Ii ten to Pre -id -nt Pickard's Ba calaureate ad­dre. The Opera Hou e had be n ta te£ully decora ted with flower, which, together with the many richly and beautifully dressed ladie pre ent, made a charming pictur. From the centre of the tage aro e a pyramid of house

plant in full bloom, over which a miniature fountain poured its sparkling water. The front of the IItage, relieved at the ends and centre by clu tel'S of plants, was garlanded with oak leaves, while

. from the gallery and encircling the parquet, depended festoons of the same. On the stage were seated the Governor and regents, the fac­ulty and clergy of the city, and the chapel choir.

The exercises opened with prayer by Rev. W. B. Craig, after whIch Rev. G. P. Folsom read a Bible discourse. Following this was a song by the Chapel Choir, and then prayer again by Rev. Emory Miller. Another song by the Chapel Choir and then came the addre s by President Pickard. It was full of practical and sound advice to young men.

The President first pictured the great responsibility resting upon the citizen of a free government. He who would enjoy and protect civil liberty must first of all pos­sess intelltgence. It requires no intelligence in a despotism, the more Ignorant and unthinking the subject, the better it is for this form of government; but he who would exercise the right of citizen­ship in a free government must have his character carefully devel­oped in harmony with its demaJlds. Christianity is the great influence which can bring about this perfect development, hence the subject of the address, "Christian Citizen­ship." MOI".DAY, JUNE 2OTH-CLASS DAY

EXERCISES.

This was one of the most in­tere ting features of Commence­ment, hecause of the pleasing variety of the programme. After music Chas. F. Kuehnle delivered the salutatory oration. He had chosen for his subject one of the greatest and most interesting char­acters in history, "William the Sile::nt." No one who reads the history of the Netherlands can reo press a shudder of horror at the cruelties committed upon its un­oflendiog people by that human tiend and champion of Catholic bigotry, Philip III. of Spain; nor can he fail to admirt~ and hold in reverence the character of the only man who could cope with this bloody tyrant and at last free his people from his sway.

Mr. Kuehnle's oration was a

worthy tribute to his greatness. The class history by Mis Sallie

Ham was a record of the trials and successes of Class'SI. It was well written and was listened to with great interest by the audi­ence.

An oration by E. J. Cornish came next on the programme. His ubject wa Ralph Waldo Emer­

son, and by its able treatme::nt showed that Mr. Cornish was well accquainted with and had care­fully studied the writings of the " age of Concord." It was un· doubtedly the finest production of the day. After mUSIC the address to lower classes was delivered by W. Scott Jordan. It was charac­terized by the droll' humor for which the gentleman is well known and made interesting by the ex­perience. through which he as a senior ha passed. The Class Prophecy by Saville:: Johnson called forth many hearty peals of laugh­ter and applause, as some ludi­crous future was predicted for some member of '81. It may be that not all were entirely satisfied with this glimpse of their future lives, but the audience seemed im­mensel), Jlleased and satisfied.

Mr. W. F. Skinner delivered the valedictory. By request he delivered his exhibition oration, subject "Robert Burns." We have spoken of this oration he fore and also puhlished it in THE VI­DETTE. All will remember it as a fine production.

The class song, composed by W. D. Dickinson, was sung by the class in conclusion of the exercises. The programme throughout was a success and thoroughly enjoyed by a crowded house.

CHANCELLOR HAMMOND'S ADDRESS.

At 8 o'clock in the evening the Law students assembled at the University and marched in pro­cession to the Opera House to lis­ten to the annual address by Chan­cellor Hammond. It is needless for us to say anything in praise of the address, for all who know the Chancellor will not need to be told that it was sound and scholarly. When the address was finished, Mr. T. S. Wright, of Des Moines, a member of the first graduating class of die Iowa Law School, toek the floor, and in a neat speech said that when it was known by the many graduates of the Law School, scattered in almost every State in the Union, that Chancel­lor Hammond was about to sever hislconnection with the University, a movement was set on foot to ap­pr6)priately testify their regard for his labors at this last Commence· ment. Mr. Wright was appointed Chairman of a committee to carry this into effect. In compliance with their circular, over two hundred letters had been received from graduates, expressing the warmest regard for the Chancel­lor, gratitude for the instruction received under his care, and con­tributions to be invested in a sub­stantial memento of their regard. These letters, which had been bound in a volume, Mr. Wright presented to the Chancellor. He then introduced Mr. Emil Mc-

Clain, a graduate of Class '73, who, after delivering an appro­priate address, presented the chancellor with a beautiful gold watch. Chancellor Hammond re­plied to this in a few words of deep emotion. Mr. John M. Helmick, of the graduates, in the name of his class, presented the Faculty and Rege~ts with a fine crayon portrait o[ the Chancellor. Hon. C. W. Slagle::, a member of the Board of Regents, and well known here as the acting Presi­dent of the University for one year, made an eloquent speech, in acceptation, and tnen came an­other surprise. Mr. Bnier, of the Class of '81, came upon the stage and presented Prof. Ross, Chancellor-elect, with a fine gold­headed cane, as a testimonial of the high regard in which he is held by the class. The Professor expressed · his warm thanks, and. spoke of the establishment and growth of the Law Depart.ment. As there were no more surprises, the audience retired .

TUESDAY EVENING.

The Opera House was again orowded, and the Alumni of the University held their annual exercises. The President of the Assooiation, Mr. Thomas S. Wright, (LL.B. '65), of Des Moines, introduced Mr. John A. Piokler, '70, of Muscatine, who delivered the annual address. The great question of maJikind is broad. Not only must one earn his own bread, but he must also be interested in earniug bread for his neighbor. The question of pau· perism in this country is becoming a dangerous one. It is a dangerous thing indeed to be without employment. No more vital question oan agitate the peo­ple of this oountry, than to Bee that every man has an employment. It is the first requisite of happiness that man should have some fU:ed means of support. It is the duty of every instruotor of the young to inspire his pupils with a love for the real and active duties of life, and not with the visionary fanoies of romanoe. Every boy should be tanght to love employ· ment, but not to ohoose the employment he is to follow till he is able to know for what he is fitted, and when he has onoe

SERENADE.

On Monday evening, alter the exeroises at the Opera House, the Law Class, ac­companied by the University band, called upon Chancellor Hammond to give a tarewellserenade to one who lives in the hearts of every law student who has gone out from the University for the last thirteen years. The Chancellor was not slow to respond. He made a brief and touching speech, in whioh he assured the cla8s that not only their faces, but the faces of over six hnndred who bave gone out before them, were stamped so firmly upon his memory that neither time nor changing circumstances could efface them. He told them (and his voice be­spoke emotion) how he regretted to leave the labors which had always been so pleasant to him, for those whioh were new and untried.

In bidding the class good-night, the Ohancellor said: II I wish my house were large enough, aB ?ny lLcwrt CIlrtainly is, I would like to invite you all to come

The boys then proceeded to the resi­dence of the Oh/illcellor-elect, Judge Ross. Alter a lively tune by the band, the Judge made a few brief remarks, in whiob he expressed his surprise in being elected as successor to Ohanoellor Ham­mond, and his appreciation of the ra­sponlibilityof his new position. He tben told the ClU8S that though he had noth­ing but ice-toatel' to offer them, he would be glad it every one would come in and drink with him. The band again struck up a march and the Law O1ass of '81 paBsecl in and drank ice·water to the health of Chancellor Roes.

An item of especial interest in tbe graduating evercises W88 the appearance of Miss Mary O. Noyes in a beautiful silk, eighty-three years old. The dress is one of the beir-looms of the tamily, and it appears to us to be pre-eminently fitting that it should be worn at this time, by one who bears the name of Mary Ohilton, the first personage to plant her foot upon Plymouth rock, alter the long voyage in tbe Mayflower.
