GRADUATING EXERCISES There was a happy gathering o f the Faculty, students and friends o nt h e evening of June 27th. I t was the Spring Graduation and three o f the students who had successfully pursued the two years' course and obtained the necessary credits were the honored guests. Dr. A. B. Prichard, Vice-President of the Institute, presided in the absence of President Lyman Stewart. Rev. J .H . Sammis of our Faculty delivered the ad- dress to the class, using the word Bible as a n acrostic. I t was the unanimous testimony o f those present that Mr. Sammis had exceeded himself and given the best message he had ever delivered
in the School. The subject was agpriP priate and handled with consummate art and gave all present a new love for the old Book. Dr. Torrey, Dean o f the School, pre- sented the diplomas to Mrs. R. C. Lewis, Harry Hill and Oscar Zimmerman. Ap - propriate music, including a solo, was arranged by Prof. Peckham.
