Exercises Held Today at the /Tew Wil lard?Address by Dr. Mer rill E. Gates. Seventeen fair young ladies composed tho ' class receiving diplomas this morning at the commencement exercises of the Mount Vernon Seminary, held in the large hall of the Now Willard. In the audience, which entirely filled the large room, were many young lady students of the school, and rel atives and friends of the graduates, who came to congratulate them on having suc cessfully completed their studies and to ex tend best wishes to them in thrtr future duties of life. Tho decorations were in keeping with the freshness of the morning and the whole of the west end of the hall presented the appearance of an elegantly arranged conservatory. There was a pro fuse display of palms, tropical plants, ferns and cut flowers arrayed with artistic ef fect. In the rear of the platform and ex tending along the full length was a row of tall palms, while to the front at the right and left of the platform were two large clusters of palms and tropical plants with magnificent large bouquets of white flowers grouped against the green setting. Ex tending across the front of the stage was a row of ferns and on the platform near the stand at the left was another immense cluster of flowers and plants. Shortly lifter 11 o'clock those participat ing in the program of exercises took th. ir places on the platforpi, after which the members of the graduating class, preceded by the ushers, marched up the ctnter aisle to the platform, while Mr. Harvey Murray played a largo movenient from Beethoven. The seats for the class were arrang-d in , a semi-circle, and the graduates, all at tired in white, presented an attractive ap pearance against the dark-green back ground. Program of Exercises. Selections were rendered by a string quar tet and by a ladies' chorus, under direction of Mr. Joseph Kaspar. after which Rev. T. S. Hamlin offend a prayed. At the con clusion of two solos by Miss Alice Edwards the address to the graduates was given by Dr. Merrill E. Gates, ex-president of Am herst College, who spoke eloquently on the subject "The New Education for Women and the Old-Time Graces." In his introductory remarks nr. Gates referred to the anniversary of the Institu tion and said the meaning of anniversaries teaches us the value of the present. We often miss the finest flavors of life and their enjovment because we do not realize they may be had for the taking. He de clared we may each of us have lives just as sweet and beautiful as we have eyes capable of distinguishing the sweetness and beauty in the things about us. He spoke of the memories of school life and said they live forever, proving a source of keenest enjoyment In after life. H< said the new life for the young ladies would be to let their Influences and thoughts go out beyond the family circle for larger benefit to the world. "When God would perpetuate anything to the race." said the speaker. "He Intrusts it to the pureminded daughters. God's way of sending the noblest truths dow? the ages is by placing it in the hearts of pure young women and from them it is diffused to the world." The purpose of education, said I)r. Gates. is to set one free from selfishness and ig noble things. Woman'* place in the world Is becoming more important and she will be required to cultivate larger symnathies. The comradeship which a man enjoys so much in his wife is not acquired in school by imitating the college boy or by trying to become manly by practicing mannish traits. Change in Environments. "There is unquestionably a change In the environments of women today." said the speaker, "and there is a change in what will be expected of her in the future which is marked by the twentieth century. The fact that the institutions in this'country for the higher education of women are crowded is evidence that the new woman is widening in her scope and it rai-ans that democratic methods must prevail. It is becoming to be considered that a girl must make as much of her intellect as her brother. "Are the old-time virtues and graces to be lost? No. This new environment will mean that man In his highest development will take on the finer sensibilities and vir tues of women and that woman will ac quire the strength of man." He said he had as much sympathy for the weak little man who complained that women were taking the place of men and crowding them out of their occupations as he had for the bold woman, who, presuming on the chivalry of strong men. attempted to bully them. Grace, mercy and truth, he said, were the virtues of womanhood, and It is the object of education to develop those virtues. Both the graduates and audience evinced great interest in the speaker's words, and at the conclusion of his address Dr. Gates was greeted with loud applause. Diplomas Presented. Madame Annie Roemer Kaspar sang a group of songs in a pleasing manner, after which Mrs. Adelia Gates Hensley, the as sociate principal of the seminary. In a brief address presented the diplomas to the grad uates. The exercises closed with a solo by Madame Kaspar. Those composing the class of 10<>2 are as follows: Miss Genevieve Ainslie, Oak Park. 111.; ? Iss Marian Louise Aldrlch. Evanston, 111.; Miss Eleanor Bartless. Ruth Oldberg Brown, Anna Hall Green, Katherine Hill, Florence Libbey, Catherine Cullom Ridge ley, Elsie St. Clair Seeligmann. Washing ton. D. C.; Miss Ruth Carey.

An original three-act drama, entitled "The Duke of Devonshire," was presented by the senior class of Mt. Vernon Seminary at the banquet hall of the New Willard last evening before a large and deeply In terested audience. The play was written by Miss Katharine Hill, the youngest mem ber of the class, and proved a very credita ble work from every point of view. In fact, it would do honor to a playwright of mature years and long experience. The plot is strong and interesting and the lines are in the language of the period?1CSV The play was very prettily mounted, and the setting of the first act elicited special praise. The costumes of the young .adies were fresh and appropriate, and altogether the stage groupings presented as pretty a series of pictures as one would wish to see. The characters were all assumed and there was not a forgotten line or a hitch from start to finish. The young misses who were attired In the brilliant uniforms of English soldiers of the seventeenth cen tury did not look very fierce, to be sure, and their efforts as swashbucklers called forth smiles; but they knew their parts and were as mannish as they could be. While all were good, Miss Gray as "Cap tain Robert Cameron" and Miss Grandin as "Lydia Wilson" are deserving of special praise. The rest of the cast was as fol lows: Lord Charles Hertford, F. Ingram; Sir Francis Willoughby, E. Seeligmann; Lieutenant Henry Carteret. G. Ainsie; James ta footman). M. Aldrich; Joseph Robins (caretaker). E. Rouse; Beatrix. I^dy Scarborough, Miss Mabel Root; Lucy Fra sier (friend of Beatrix). Miss Florence Lib bey Nell (the maid). Miss Ruth Browne; Margery (Innkeeper's daughter). Miss Ruth Carey; Dame Robins (caretaker's wife). Miss Catherine Ridgely; lords. ladle* and soldiers of Cameron's Troop. Misses Bart lett, Green, Hinman, Latimer and % aller. For Coal Mine Sufferers.
