The annnal lecture on Tuesday evening be
fore the iEthetlc Society was dellvered by
Rev. J. W. Hamllton. D D.. nnd waa llstened
to by a fair nudience. Whlle not as profonnd
as some, lt abounded In popular hlta and telllng
lllustratlons. His theme was " Placed and
Misplaced People." The central thonght of
the lecture seemed to be that we should find
our place and then fill lt. The factof emlnence
nccldentally secured by some should not pre
vent us from Beeking emlnence whlch shall be
legitlmately secured. Whatever our calllne,
we should have a Bvstem conslstont with right
princlples. A system found, It should bo
taorked. The measure of a raan's work and
usefulnesa is the measure of the motlve and
power by whlch he ls moved. Two thlnga are
necessary ; an lnward, lntelllgnnt, paislonate
and pure Impulseand anoutward power, super
natnrally snpplementad. The oxaralnatlona
came on Monday and Tuesday. Thoy were
usually qulte fair and showed the real knowl
edge whlch the Btudent had of the snbject. In
most instancea thoronph work had evldently
been done and a good preparation made for
future acquisitiona. Some of tbe teachera are
certainly superlor intructors and have special
abillty for Inspirine the studenta wlth a love of
enthualasm for thelr studies.
On Wednesday at one o'clock the alumnl had
a dlnner at the Amerlean House. Over sixty
sat down to the well-loaded tables. At the
closo of the dlnner, Rev. T. P Frost, presldent

J. O. Sherburne A. L. Ooper, Hon. W. P, Dil
llnehara and Revs. G. E. Smlth and W. R.
Davenport to represent the five decades In the
hlstory of the school. Manv Interestlng rem
iniscences were recalled. Revs. Beeman and
J. O. Sherburne spoke concernlng tha pro
posed seml-centennlal celebratlon in 1884. By
that tlme it waa hoped tbat tbe debts ot tbe
school would bo entirely canceled, endowment
raised to tho full sum of 850,000 and the 11
brary and npparatus of the school vastly In
creased. To dotbls, much work would be nec
essary, the residences of the old alumnl found.
the neeis and prospocts of the school presented
to them, etc. The regular buslnesa meeting of
the alumnl waa held ln the parlora above. Re
organlzed hy electlne T. P. Frost presldent,
Mary A. Pomeroy vlce-nresldent. George E.
Smlth fecrotarv, and Hattie M. Newcomb

porated under chapter nlnety of the geneial
statntes. Two from the faculty and two from
the trustees were also to servn aa members nf
sald associatlon. Elected J. O. Sherburne, W.
F. Rocheleau, J. M. Hltt, Mrs. Danlel Dorches
ter and Cbarles W. Wilder to o-operate with a
likecommlttee from tho trustees for the pur
po.e of arranging fnr the appropriato celebra
tlon of theseml-centennial. Wednesday even
ing occurred the prlze speaklng. Tho chapel
was llterally packed, and there were from slx
to seven hundred present. The selectlons
were good, nnd, as a whole, flnely rendered.
Careful study had been given, tho splrit of the
author caught, and the requlslto self-possession
and vlvid porsonation secured. Nearly every
plece was good and some were extra. The
prlzes In declamatlnn were taken by Luther
C. Freeman and Herbert S. Eaton, and the
prlzes In recltatlon by Jessie E. Ashley and
Lettln C. Ilalstead.
Commencement proper occurred on Thursday
atten o'clock. The hnnse waa well fllled and
good attention was paid throughout. A long
acqualntanee with commencements showed the
productions toaveragemuch hlgher than usual.
Some were of decided literary merit and
evinced wide reading and careful thought.
Thero seemed to be less of hombaat and more
of Bense, less of rbotorical fllghtn and more of
cnndld reasonlng. The artlcles were, however,
crude and Immaturo, as all such productions
must of necesslty be. The order of exorclsea
