"It nlwayB ruins class day," has become proverbial
in Amherst, and so Old Prob. brought us a brisk
shower about uoon, which, however, coutrury to
precedent, ccasod before the senior class gath
ered in College Hall to celobrato the day ol
all days of c?mmcnr.ement week. Owing to a delayed
train the Mendels-ohu Quintet failed to furnish tho
expected music, but by tho kindness ol Mrs. Dent and
the colloge i'loo club tho large audience were well enter
tained. After prayer was ollerod by President Secl
eye, the prosldenl of tho day, in a happy
Rpeech, introduced tho class orator, H. D. Moxson,
of Do Ruyter, N^Y. His themo was, '?Tho Attitude
ol the Scholar in Religious Inquiry." An easy and
grncelul speaker, ho did lull credit to the class which
thus honored him. He is valedictorian, and would
also have coutosted for tho Hydo prize hud his tioalth
permitted.

sisted ol supplying the Ireshmen with milk,
tho sophomores with Cigars aud thu juniors
with lemonade. Tho uttempt of tho "iresh"
to oiituin 'tho cigars raised a breeze
immediately to be quelled only bv their expulsion
from the sacrod ring by sophomoric muscle. Long
calumets were furni.-hud to tho seniors, aud alter
these wore tilled, some with tobacco for tho smokers
and some with tea lor tho anti-tobacconists, tho grad

Tho cluss duy concert this evening was a decided suc
cess. Tho singing by tho College Gloe Club was a new
feature, and was found to be a very popmur one wr.h
those who rarely listen to coliego songs. Tho singing
by Mrs. Georgie Bent was very lino, uud ol the Men

the class day of '77, by Ibo verdict ol all a most enjoy
able ouo.
