NCE a,gain the .days of academic proces sions have come, and in the schools and colleges all over the land com mencement day fea tures are the sole topic of conversa tion. For this oc casion the erudite maids and youths lay . out their best bib and tucker, practice to adjust their mortarboards at the most becoming angle and In nu merous other way aim to look their prettiest, for It is the great event of the year to them and always draws a large crowd of visitors. While it is a welcome relief to the graduates to think of leaving dull boofts and rigid discipline fur behind, smiles frequent ly give way to tears and regrets when come the parting from kind teachers and dear chums, tbe last look at fa vorite nooks and tbe final visits to the rooms wherein such good times have been spent. As a rule." leaving college Is not such a joyful proceeding as the student had pictured, and. although great events may' come in after life, the scenes and incidents in the last days at school are never effaced from tbe student's memory and are dis cussed and talked of long afterward. A procession of dignified appearing men and women, each one wearing cap. gown and. when entitled to it, a hood. Is an imposing scene. Tbe flow ing robes seemingly express some thing of the dignity of learning and the honor of academic life, no one de nying that they add greatly to the In terest and geueral effect of the college anniversaries and special functions. Some colleges make the wearing of the gown, obligatory on certain occasions, though i is optional and desirable at all times. In the matter of dress Oxford claims to have a system that goes back far ther than that of any of Its contem poraries. The grndiyitiog class of this year in the famous English universi ty will wear Just exactly the' same kind of ecclesiastical and civil robes 1.

Ox ford makes very marked difference in the garb of a graduating minister and lawyer, for instance. Cambridge still further differentiates between students of its various colleges. Tbe ordinary academic dress of to day consists of cap. gown and hood, and in tbe United States tbe system has been so unified that a very definite code has been established. In ISO an intercollegiate commission met in Co lumbia college with Seth Low as chair man end Colonel McCook of 'Princeton. Dr. Palmer of Yale and Chancellor MacCracken of New York university as members of the commission. - They made a careful study of academic cos tume in tbe various universities of Eu rope, and out of tbe chaos they evolved an orderly system, which Is the one followed now by all tbe-greater univer sities and colleges in tbe land. There are three types of gowns. which are marked by varying cuts of hoods to represent doctor, master and bachelor degrees. The doctor's gown has full. open, round sleeves faced with velvet and bas three bars of vel vet on the sleeves. The master's gown bas a closed sleeve, square at the bot tom, falling below tbe knees. The arm enters through a slit near the elbow. The bachelor's gown has long pointed sleeves. Tbe doctor's and master's gowns should be silk, the bachelor's of worsted stuff. The doctor's cap has a gilt tassel, while tbe others have silk tassels. There is hardly a college In the coun try In commencement week that does not have some distinctive day or fea ture that is full of interest to the most experienced! commencement visitor and well worth "traveling miles to see. Several of the larger colleges are not satisfied with one day or feature, but carry their novel celebrations over sev eral days. Of course when it comes to tbe final ceremony, tbe day of grad uation,: there is no attempt at original ity, no getting away from the conven tional exercises, backed as they are by the dignity of scores of years. Usually the seniors finish their "exams" a week or two befor the commencement exer cises. That time Is given them to pre pare for these events.

Tbe students on that occasion, looking their sweetest In their simple white dresses, march two -by two around the buildings and the- campus, carrying the long ivy chain. While tbe girls are passing through tbe alley formed by tbe rows of admiring spectators you will bear tbe occasional click of a cam era as some especially prominent and popular girl goes by some vantage point.

Tbe vast fleet of small boats ef every de scription are lighted up with gayly I THE SWEET GIBIi GRADUATE. colored lanterns until tbe whole lake seems afloat with fairy craft: Tree day is another feature at Wellesley which bas been observed since tbe founding of the college. For tbe sen iors It is a day of sorrow, for they take mournful leave of tbe tree that they planted as freshmen. The daisy chain at Vassar Is one of the most beautiful practices that mark tbe close of tbe scboor year. Thou sands of daisies are picked tbe day be fore the march and are strung togeth er in long festoons. The prettiest girls of tbe class are selected to carry the chain, and the march around the beau tiful avenues of tbe superb Institution, tbe yellow of tbe flowers, the fair skins and white dresses of the bearers, the green of the lawn and the blond and brunette beads exposed to the sun light make as pretty a picture as any artist ever painted. Barnard bas a floral parade which Is somewhat similar and of which It is very proud- A line of graduates pa rade the campus carrying the choicest blossoms of springtime in trays, and after the procession the flowers are distributed to those who are present to see the exercises. Bryn Mawr college for its commencement day usually makes a specialty of producing some classical play, this year presenting A Midsummer Night's Dream." At Mount Holyoke college the seniors begin the commencement round tbe week before with a pilgrimage to tbe summit of Mount Holyoke, where they carry out mysterious farewell ceremonies. Later come tbe grove exercises, tbe students gathering at tbe monument of the founder. Mary Lyon, and singing the "grove song." At many of the women's colleges this year decided changes in the mat ter of dress for the academic proces sions were made.

ADDRESSES CLOSE FRIENDS Asserts That Kqual Rights to All Must Be Made Controlling Force in Government, St. Louis, Mo., June 3. Missouri democrats of all factions at a dinner last night heard former Governor Jo seph W. Folk announce the principles on which, it is said, be will seek the presidential nomination in 1912. The cKnner was in charge of men who have been promoting the boom of the former governor. "The doctrine of equal rights should be made a living, vital and controlling force in the government," said Mr. Folk, after he had listened to demo crats from all parts of the state tell the guests that the former governor Is the man they should endorse for the presidency. Should Stamp Out Graft. "The democratic party," continued Mr. Folk, "should Insist upon the stamping out of graft and corruption from every department of the govern ment; the eradication of all special favors, including bounties, subsidies, and a tariff for any purpose other than revenue. "We need the honest, sincere en forcement of the laws we already have' and the regulation of the rates of public utility corporations upon a rea sonable basis, that justice may be done the people and a fair return for the amount actually invested be af forded." Otbrr Principles Advanced. Other principles named by the speaker were the preservation of the rights of the states to self-government, the restriction of . American territory to the western hemisphere as a neces sary corrollary " of the Monroe doc trine; the extension of American trade by revising the restriction upon com merce; a just income tax, the election of United States senators by direct vote, and unrelenting opposition to the domination in public affairs of special interests and the elimination of such Influences from politics.
