a good turn by sending them to Wayland University.

We u_rgeevery pastor especially to help us in this work. y OU have the privilege of arousing a desire for higher education, and of directing those who seek advantages beyond what their own towns furnish. May we not suggest that you find out who among-your number are intending to go away to school, and also those who ought to go. The duty toward the latter is as plain as toward the former.

Nor should this task £all on the pastor alone.

The churches should take an active interest in the matter of sending students. All may not be able to give money, but they can help in giving that which is better. With the same corps of teachers, the power of the school might be many £old more, if the classes were as large as they could profitably teach. Many of them might be double the number and only improve by it.

Baptists ought to send to their own school.

But every Baptist knew that before we told him, and knowing that they are zealous for right we shall await a large ingathering the next term.

The Endowment.

"There is a tide in the a.ffairsof men, Which, taken at its flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows, and in miseries."

Now is the time to work £or students, when This is no more true of the affairs of men. they are planning to go to some school. You than it is ofthe histories of institutions oflearn~ will, if you are a Baptist, do yourself and them ing. The present is such a crisis in the history .

of Way land University. Forlack of endowment its past has been a continued struggle for existence. On the first of October, 1881, the University had a property valued at $23,225, and an endowment of $19,286. The Hon. Charles L. Colby then offered to give $10,000 additional endowment, provided another $10,000 should be raised by October, 1882.

Other Milwaukee Baptists have subscribed $4,225 toward the second $10,000, and from various parts of the state $1.,300 more have been pledged. $4,475 remain to be raised in August and September. All of the subscriptions are conditional on the whole amount being raised.

The question before each Baptist of Wisconsin is, what part shall I have in this grand work?

No other so important an appeal can be made this year to Wisconsin B·aptists. If, from all over the State, there shall be a generous response, the amount will be raised. Failure would be disastrous.

Each dollar given helps to assure success. I£ you cannot give a large amount, give what you can. Ro paid agent is in the field. What you give will go towards endowment, not expenses. 'rhe following is the form of pledges.

MILWAUKEE, OCTOBER 6, 1881. . Whereas, the Hon. Charles L. Colby, in a letter dated September 29th, 1881, and read at the Wisconsin State Convention, Oct. 6, 1881, made the following J.,roposition, viz; "If there be ..raised within the next twelve months, ten thousand dollars for Wayland, I will give ten thousand dollars to be added to it, the whole to constitute a fund to be called the 'Eli H. Salter Fund,' the income from which is to be used for the general expenses of the Universi ty''-Therefore, We, the undersigned, hereby agree to pay towards the first named ten thousand dollars, the sums set opposite our several names, provided only, that reliable pledges for the entire sum are rnllde by October 10th, 1882.

$50,000 from this estate. Shall not an assured future prove an encouragement and incentive to the friends to care for its present necessities by immediately securing to it the $20,000 necessary to its present life?

TheEli H. Salter Fund.

Eli H. Salter, a student from Merton, was a graduate of the Class of '81, of Wayland University. After graduation he was employed as tutor in the family of Hon. Chas. L. Colby.

While at Saratoga he disappeared, and soon after his body was found floating in Saratoga Lake. The cause of his death is a profound mystery. He was a most loveable, earnest, Christian young man. Mr. Colby being warmly attached to him, proposed, when he made his offer, that the Fund be called the Eli H. Salter Fund.

A Wordto SundaySchoolSuperintendents.

We -feel it very important that the youth in our Sunday Schools should be induced to .feel that W a,yland is their school. The $20,000 endowment that we are working to raise by October 1st, is to be called the "Eli H. Salter Fund," after a young man who was connected with the Sunday School in Merton, A number of Sch9ols have contributed towards this endowment.Will you uot bring thematterbefo1·e your Sclwol,and recommenda contributionfor this object? Schools are giving from one dollar to fifty dollars each, and if there shall be a general response from the Schools in the State, the aggregate oftheir offerings will go far toward securing the needed amount.

EVERYstudent of Wayland will be pained to hear of the death of little Sar~h. She was the darling of all, old and young.

You all know how sweet she was. No, I am sure we did not; the father and mother were the only ones who knew, and the loss that makes our hearts sore, makes theirs ache and ache.

Only the infinite love 0£ God can sustain Pro• £essor and Mrs. Wood in their heavy bereavement.

We quote the beautiful words of the editor of the "Standard," which are echoed by the hearts of their many friends.

The late Dr. Milo P. Jewett made Wayland University his residuary legatee. While the school does not receive immediately the benefit "We are deeply grieved to learn of the death of this bequest, Pro£. J ewett's family having the income of the property during their lives, of the little daughter of President Wood, of yet eventually the Institution will receive about Wayland University, at Beaver Dam. To him-

self, to his wife, the eldest daughter of our esteemed friend Dr. Boise, to Dr. Boise himself, and to the entire family circle whose mutual affection is so deep and tender, this bereavement cannot fail to bring crw,hing sorrow. Little -Sarah was but three years and eight months old, yet she was the only daughter, and the only little girl in a group of interesting children in two families, and she will be the more lamented on that account. A beautiful bright child, she was one 0£ those to whom the ·heart clings as if utterly unable to speak the words.of surrender. May God give His own rich comfort to the smitten households."

College for young ladies, which should be the first of its kind in the world. 0£ the Institution now known as Vassar College, Dr. Jewett became first President. The buildings, apperatus and equipment were provided under his careful superv1S1on. But the work proved too great for his strength, and just as the College was ready for its work, the devoted President resigned.

After a time of rest, he came to Milwaukee, which for fifteen years past has been his home.

Here, all the interests which pertained to philanthropy, education, or religion, found in him a warmhearted supporter and wise counse_lor.

His work in resuccitating and establishing Wayland University iswellknown.

He might well be called its second founder. It was a singular providence that raised up a friend so singularly unselfish in character, and so wise in counsel. His efforts in its behalf have been unremitting. He prayed over it; he talked about it; he planned for it; he gave to it. His convictions in regard to it were strong even unto death. His name will be forever intimately as._ sociated with its history. It ought, in justice, to be said that his wife's interest was no less deep and steady than that of her husband.

Dr. Jewett was a noble example of a cultivated, earnest, Christian gentleman. The foneral services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. A. F. Mason, assisted at Dr. Jewett's request by Rev. M. Hodge, D. D., Rev. D. E. Halteman and Rev. Prof. Wo·od. As an admirable tribute to his character and worth, we quote in full the address of Dr. Hodge.

Pro£. M. P. Jewett, LL. D., was born in St. Johnsbury, Vt., April 27, 1.808. His father was an eminent physician, and man of scholarly tastes and habits; his mother, a woman 0£ unusual culture, so that from his chilclhood, he received a strong bent toward literary pursuits.

At the age of twenty he graduated from DartJUouth College. During the following year he was principal of an Academy at Plymouth, N. H. Then he spent three years in study at Andover Theological Seminary, under men who gave Andover its pre-eminerrce for many years, Drs. Wood, Parke, and Moses Stuart.

After leaving Andover, he spent some time in delivering addresses in various parts of New England, on the common schools, and soon after accepted a professorship in Marietta, College, Ohio. While here, his views on the ordinances uf the Christian Church underwent a change, and after a protracted mental struggle, whose severity few can understand, he resigned his Jesus prayed in these words: "Father, I will, that they chair, and withdrawing from the Presbyterian also whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am, Church, united with the Baptist Denomination. that they may behold my glory." This prayer, answered, Soon after, he organized the Judson Female Institute, in Marion, Ala., and was for sixteen years its honored head. His usefulness here was great and widespread, and he was unconsciously fitting himself for a still more marked career in educational service.- In 1855, he left the South and took charge of the Cottage Hill Seminary in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Here he became acquainted with Matthew Vassar, a wealthy and childless man, who had purposed to bequeath his large property to found a hospital. After many and earnest consultations, Dr. Jewett persuaded him to found and endow a

removes His people from the walks of living men. Glad as we are to have them behold His glory, we are yet pained that their promotion is our bereavement. Still, they do but go before, a.nd we shall soon follow after. Great lives teach great lessons, and these lessons we should by no means fail to learn. It has been said, and wisely too, "of every tear that sorrowing mortals shed on these gr~en graves, some good is born, some gentler nature comes."

When we bear to the final resting place all that remains to us of the great and good, it is well that we ponder the lessons of their finished lives. Of the honored servant of God whose manly form we to-day consign to the tomb, much waits to be said. The full story of his eventful life can only be gathered and set in order by careful research and deliberate thought. Mine is the humble service of mentioning a few things gathered from an acquaintance, which, though

intimate, covered but a few of his later years. I might speak of his sustained youthfulness of feeling, which failed not, until the lamp of life went out. In the comse of nature his hair m11stchange its hue, and his sight mtrnt fail, but his heart refused to grow old. The buoyancy of feeling, and the ready play of mental powers, and of the social irnp11lseswhich belong to earlier years, retained their freshness in him in spite of the frosts of autumn.

I might also speak of his broad interest in human nffa.irs, of which he took a very comprehensive and intelligent view.

Through much reading, and a wide acquaintance with wellinformed men and women, be kept himself in living sympathy wit!, ail that was of most importance to the human race. He was not content with a vague conception of the tho11ghtswhich the world was thinking, or the deeds which it \\'US doing. Especially was he well informed upon all great movements which more immediately concemeJ the Kingdom of God. He firmly believed that the dominion of the world was to be given to the Lord's Anointed, and he watched the process of its transference to His hands with a lively interest. Christian missions were clear to his heart, a~ was made evident by his conversa,tion, his prayers, and his contributions. "Thy kingdom come," was the burden of his petition, and in support of the agencies through which he looked for its coming, he gave with a liberal hand.

The breadth of his intelligent sympathy with rnried philanthropic enterprises, is worthy of special mention. Some of us well remember his speech before a committee of our state legislature, on behalf of an institution planted in the cit~, of his home for the education of deaf mutes by the artic;late method. So thoroughly had he studied the whole subject, that he was able to tell the history, explain the methods, and measure the successes of the whole difficult undertaking. And this was but one of many among the organized endeavors of our modern Christian civilization to lighten the burdens of the unfortunate, for which he ha.d a quick eye, a lively interest, and an open hand.

Having been for a brief term of years, his pastor. it seems fitting that I should speak of his bearing as a parishioner.

In this relation he was thoughtful, kind, appreciative, helpful. He .was not backward in telling his pastor that he enjoyed the sermon, or was moved to tenderness by the prayer; or was lifted up by the entire service. He was wont to specify the expositions of Scripture, the points of doctrine, the modes of treatment, or the practical applications in which he had found most pleasure, and if he was unable to concur in any conclusion reached in a discourse, he could indicate his doubt with a kindness and •candor which a.re rarely equalled. He was a man whose approval was so intelligent as to be valuable, and whose suggestions were so kindly and judicious, as to win their way to grateful acceptance. Beside, he was pre-eminently helpful in the prayer-meeting. Always at his place in good time, always ready to do his part promptly, he was able to take up the topic opened by the leader, and treat it in thoughts so just, in words so well chosen, and in a spirit so evangelical and tender, thnt often the hearing him alone was enough to amply repay a.IIthe pains which the scattered members of the church had taken in coming together. Certainly a great vacancy is made in the social meetings o!__!hechurch

by his removal. If some, during a. few weeks of revival, can glow with higher fervor than he, yet had he not_many equals in the shedding of a steady light through all the year.

From the adult Bible class also, how sorely will he be missed. His knowledge of the Scriptures was so extensive and accurate, his thoughts upon the lesson were so clear, so convincing, and withal so ready, that his presence in the class lent wheels tot.he whole course of Bible study. He was not afraid of advanced thought, provided it did not advance beyond the just bounds of divine revelation. He felt no objection to views that were new, if only it could be made evident that they were true. Nor must we fail to notice his eminent Catholicity of spirit. And this is the more noteworthy wl,en we remember an important fact in his history. There ca,ne a time when he believed that loyalty to the word of God compelled him to leave one denomination of Christians, and connect himself with a.nother.

Now it happens all too often that the positiveness of convic,tion which necegsitates such a change, fixes in a man denominational feelings too intense to leave room for a wide charity. It has seemed to me, therefore, all the more worthy ofrema.rk, that Dr. Jewett was not more eminent for any Christian virtue than for this ofa. large Catholicity. He loved the whole Israel of God. With him Christi[!n worth passed for nothing less than its true value on the ground of its ecclesiastical relations. He belie,·ed that truth as to ordinances· ought to be carefully sought, and firmly held: but he also believed that mistake or enor as to ordinances ought not to be allowed to bring trnth and goodnes_in other things into eclipse. A lesson, this, which men are slow to learn, but which is surely worth the lea.ming. ·with him, also, lingered in beautiful completeness, the good, old-fashioned grace of hospitality. He not only had rnom in his house and heart for kindred and cherished friends, but he was not forgetful to entertain strangers. The journeying servants of the Lord, though forgotten or neglected by most who met them, were by him inYited home and made to feel that they were welconie. I do not recollect his eqnal among all the good men whom I have known ,in carefulness for the comfort of the stranger who came within the gates. If he lea.med afterward thnt he bad har: bored the unworthy, he did not on that account, grow suspicious or inhospitable. His fund of kindly feeling toward his felloll'-men was too large to be brought to bankruptcy by the acceptance of a. few counterfeits.

The sphere of activity in which some of the best triumphs of his life were achieved, was that of an educator. As professor in Marietta College, Ohio, as principal of Judson Institute, Ala., an<l as first president of Vassar College, in New York, he rendered a service to higher Christian education, for which he will long be held in honored' remem~ bra.nee. His moulding hand upon both the miuds and manners of the students who came under his instrnction·, was valuable to a degree which we are in little danger of overi,tating. Being at once the careful thinker and the Christian gentleman, he must have insphed in his pupils n desire to blend strength and beauty in all their acquisitions. Very noticeable, too, was his detection and glad !'ecognition of rising merit. P~;:haps his long experienc~

as a teacher enabled him to read the tokens of coming worth, before they became fairly visible to others. _Whatever the explanation, the fact is sure, that he readily took the measure of those who were just ventming forth upon the arena. of human action, and was able to locate merit upon its earliest manifesta.tion. Moreover, his appreciation of greatness • and goodness in those of middle or later life wa~ rarely excelled, and it was a pleasure to him to speak in praise of whorn ever in his judgment deserved it. At the same time. the value which he placed upon mind and heart of the higher quality, did not render him exclusive.

Fitted as he was in every respect to hold position in the highest social circles, he was altogether accessible to those who wnlked the humbler paths of life. Certainly, among the followers of the Lord, he counted all 1vho belonged to Christ as members of the royal family. As others will trea,t points in his history and character which more naturally engage their attention, I will only add that he was a man who feared God, who wrought righteousnei.s, and who lived and died in the assnred hope of Heaven. His expectation of finally beholding the King in his beauty, during the years of my acquaintance with him, seemed never to waver. He walked by faith, by faith he triumphed, in faith he died, a.nd our faith follows him, at his departure out of the dissolving tabernacle, into his house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Commencement.

•

The twenty-seventh anniversary of Wayland University was one of the most successful and profitable in the history. of th'e school. The attendance of visiting friendl? was large. It is a real pleasure to have the friends drop in to the examinations. Modesty would have forbidden us to speak of the excellent work done by the teachers the past year, but some good brother, who probably attended the examination, writes to the Standard, "These [ examinations Jevinced thorough work done during the year, and were highly satisfactory; indeed, it is understood that the teaching work done in the recitation rooms at Wayland is thoroughly well clone, and not surpassed at any school in the Northwest."

We desire to add that if this praise had been given to the pupils, it would have been only just.

Their daily class room work is good, much better, of necessity, than the work done on examination day, disturbed as young minds usually are by the presence of strangers. With rare exceptions, the young ladies and gentlemen who have attended Wayland, enter earnestly upon the work assigned them. This accounts, in great part, for the frequent comment upon the rapid intellectual development of Wayland boys and girls. No one notices this more than their teachers. It is pleasant, ho,vever, to hear so many kind friends speak of it.

We.were sorry to see so few former students present. An Alumni association should be formed, and take part in Commencement. There will be one sooner or later, and the sooner it is formed the better it will be for Alma Mater.

The weather was exceptionally favorable and the audiences uniformly large and appreciative. 'rhe Baptist church, where all the .public exercises were held, was beautifully decorated by the undergraduates. Many thanks are due Clarence Porter, of Jefferson, for his tasteful_ decorative design.

is.

The large audience that gathered to hear the anniversary sermon, preached by the Rev. D. E. Halteman, of Delavan, received a rare treat. It was one of those sermons that arouses, refreshes, and broadens the soul. When Bro. Halteman makes a point intellectually, he has the happy faculty of making a telling spiritual application.

The text was from I Cor. xiv., 20. "Be. uot children in understanding, howbeit, in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.'

A more approriate subject could not have been chosen, and we heart.ily wish the public could have this sermon in full.

JUNE19-20.

Monday and Tuesday were given up to the examination of classes. Monday evening members of the Baptist State Board began to arrive, which was the occasion of numerous hand-shakings, and a general good time.

How those grey-haired brethren enjoy the College atmosphere! It does seem as if some people never grow old.

Before 8 P. M., Monday, the church was filled, floor, gallery, and aisles, to listen to the musical· reception given by Miss E. J. Laning's pupils.

The programme was rather lengthy, but much enjoyed by the audience.

Miss Laning, though earnestly requested to sing a solo, was, owing to the lateness of the hour, obliged to refuse. Two prizes, each often dollars, were offered by a certain pastor, whose modesty prevents his name being given, to the ones who had 'made most progress, respectively in vocal and instrumental music during the present school year.

It was impossible for judges who, perhaps, had never before heard the performers, to decide who had made most progress within a given time.

I might also speak of his broad interest in human nffa.irs, of which he took a very comprehensive and intelligent view.

Through much reading, and a wide acquaintance with wellinformed men and women, be kept himself in living sympathy wit!, ail that was of most importance to the human race. He was not content with a vague conception of the tho11ghtswhich the world was thinking, or the deeds which it \\'US doing. Especially was he well informed upon all great movements which more immediately concemeJ the Kingdom of God. He firmly believed that the dominion of the world was to be given to the Lord's Anointed, and he watched the process of its transference to His hands with a lively interest. Christian missions were clear to his heart, a~ was made evident by his conversa,tion, his prayers, and his contributions. "Thy kingdom come," was the burden of his petition, and in support of the agencies through which he looked for its coming, he gave with a liberal hand.

The breadth of his intelligent sympathy with rnried philanthropic enterprises, is worthy of special mention. Some of us well remember his speech before a committee of our state legislature, on behalf of an institution planted in the cit~, of his home for the education of deaf mutes by the artic;late method. So thoroughly had he studied the whole subject, that he was able to tell the history, explain the methods, and measure the successes of the whole difficult undertaking. And this was but one of many among the organized endeavors of our modern Christian civilization to lighten the burdens of the unfortunate, for which he ha.d a quick eye, a lively interest, and an open hand.

Having been for a brief term of years, his pastor. it seems fitting that I should speak of his bearing as a parishioner.

In this relation he was thoughtful, kind, appreciative, helpful. He .was not backward in telling his pastor that he enjoyed the sermon, or was moved to tenderness by the prayer; or was lifted up by the entire service. He was wont to specify the expositions of Scripture, the points of doctrine, the modes of treatment, or the practical applications in which he had found most pleasure, and if he was unable to concur in any conclusion reached in a discourse, he could indicate his doubt with a kindness and •candor which a.re rarely equalled. He was a man whose approval was so intelligent as to be valuable, and whose suggestions were so kindly and judicious, as to win their way to grateful acceptance. Beside, he was pre-eminently helpful in the prayer-meeting. Always at his place in good time, always ready to do his part promptly, he was able to take up the topic opened by the leader, and treat it in thoughts so just, in words so well chosen, and in a spirit so evangelical and tender, thnt often the hearing him alone was enough to amply repay a.IIthe pains which the scattered members of the church had taken in coming together. Certainly a great vacancy is made in the social meetings o!__!hechurch

by his removal. If some, during a. few weeks of revival, can glow with higher fervor than he, yet had he not_many equals in the shedding of a steady light through all the year.

From the adult Bible class also, how sorely will he be missed. His knowledge of the Scriptures was so extensive and accurate, his thoughts upon the lesson were so clear, so convincing, and withal so ready, that his presence in the class lent wheels tot.he whole course of Bible study. He was not afraid of advanced thought, provided it did not advance beyond the just bounds of divine revelation. He felt no objection to views that were new, if only it could be made evident that they were true. Nor must we fail to notice his eminent Catholicity of spirit. And this is the more noteworthy wl,en we remember an important fact in his history. There ca,ne a time when he believed that loyalty to the word of God compelled him to leave one denomination of Christians, and connect himself with a.nother.

Now it happens all too often that the positiveness of convic,tion which necegsitates such a change, fixes in a man denominational feelings too intense to leave room for a wide charity. It has seemed to me, therefore, all the more worthy ofrema.rk, that Dr. Jewett was not more eminent for any Christian virtue than for this ofa. large Catholicity. He loved the whole Israel of God. With him Christi[!n worth passed for nothing less than its true value on the ground of its ecclesiastical relations. He belie,·ed that truth as to ordinances· ought to be carefully sought, and firmly held: but he also believed that mistake or enor as to ordinances ought not to be allowed to bring trnth and goodnes_in other things into eclipse. A lesson, this, which men are slow to learn, but which is surely worth the lea.ming. ·with him, also, lingered in beautiful completeness, the good, old-fashioned grace of hospitality. He not only had rnom in his house and heart for kindred and cherished friends, but he was not forgetful to entertain strangers. The journeying servants of the Lord, though forgotten or neglected by most who met them, were by him inYited home and made to feel that they were welconie. I do not recollect his eqnal among all the good men whom I have known ,in carefulness for the comfort of the stranger who came within the gates. If he lea.med afterward thnt he bad har: bored the unworthy, he did not on that account, grow suspicious or inhospitable. His fund of kindly feeling toward his felloll'-men was too large to be brought to bankruptcy by the acceptance of a. few counterfeits.

The sphere of activity in which some of the best triumphs of his life were achieved, was that of an educator. As professor in Marietta College, Ohio, as principal of Judson Institute, Ala., an<l as first president of Vassar College, in New York, he rendered a service to higher Christian education, for which he will long be held in honored' remem~ bra.nee. His moulding hand upon both the miuds and manners of the students who came under his instrnction·, was valuable to a degree which we are in little danger of overi,tating. Being at once the careful thinker and the Christian gentleman, he must have insphed in his pupils n desire to blend strength and beauty in all their acquisitions. Very noticeable, too, was his detection and glad !'ecognition of rising merit. P~;:haps his long experienc~

as a teacher enabled him to read the tokens of coming worth, before they became fairly visible to others. _Whatever the explanation, the fact is sure, that he readily took the measure of those who were just ventming forth upon the arena. of human action, and was able to locate merit upon its earliest manifesta.tion. Moreover, his appreciation of greatness • and goodness in those of middle or later life wa~ rarely excelled, and it was a pleasure to him to speak in praise of whorn ever in his judgment deserved it. At the same time. the value which he placed upon mind and heart of the higher quality, did not render him exclusive.

Fitted as he was in every respect to hold position in the highest social circles, he was altogether accessible to those who wnlked the humbler paths of life. Certainly, among the followers of the Lord, he counted all 1vho belonged to Christ as members of the royal family. As others will trea,t points in his history and character which more naturally engage their attention, I will only add that he was a man who feared God, who wrought righteousnei.s, and who lived and died in the assnred hope of Heaven. His expectation of finally beholding the King in his beauty, during the years of my acquaintance with him, seemed never to waver. He walked by faith, by faith he triumphed, in faith he died, a.nd our faith follows him, at his departure out of the dissolving tabernacle, into his house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Commencement.

•

The twenty-seventh anniversary of Wayland University was one of the most successful and profitable in the history. of th'e school. The attendance of visiting friendl? was large. It is a real pleasure to have the friends drop in to the examinations. Modesty would have forbidden us to speak of the excellent work done by the teachers the past year, but some good brother, who probably attended the examination, writes to the Standard, "These [ examinations Jevinced thorough work done during the year, and were highly satisfactory; indeed, it is understood that the teaching work done in the recitation rooms at Wayland is thoroughly well clone, and not surpassed at any school in the Northwest."

We desire to add that if this praise had been given to the pupils, it would have been only just.

Their daily class room work is good, much better, of necessity, than the work done on examination day, disturbed as young minds usually are by the presence of strangers. With rare exceptions, the young ladies and gentlemen who have attended Wayland, enter earnestly upon the work assigned them. This accounts, in great part, for the frequent comment upon the rapid intellectual development of Wayland boys and girls. No one notices this more than their teachers. It is pleasant, ho,vever, to hear so many kind friends speak of it.

We.were sorry to see so few former students present. An Alumni association should be formed, and take part in Commencement. There will be one sooner or later, and the sooner it is formed the better it will be for Alma Mater.

The weather was exceptionally favorable and the audiences uniformly large and appreciative. 'rhe Baptist church, where all the .public exercises were held, was beautifully decorated by the undergraduates. Many thanks are due Clarence Porter, of Jefferson, for his tasteful_ decorative design.

SuNDAY, JuNE

is.

The large audience that gathered to hear the anniversary sermon, preached by the Rev. D. E. Halteman, of Delavan, received a rare treat. It was one of those sermons that arouses, refreshes, and broadens the soul. When Bro. Halteman makes a point intellectually, he has the happy faculty of making a telling spiritual application.

The text was from I Cor. xiv., 20. "Be. uot children in understanding, howbeit, in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.'

A more approriate subject could not have been chosen, and we heart.ily wish the public could have this sermon in full.

JUNE19-20.

Monday and Tuesday were given up to the examination of classes. Monday evening members of the Baptist State Board began to arrive, which was the occasion of numerous hand-shakings, and a general good time.

How those grey-haired brethren enjoy the College atmosphere! It does seem as if some people never grow old.

Before 8 P. M., Monday, the church was filled, floor, gallery, and aisles, to listen to the musical· reception given by Miss E. J. Laning's pupils.

The programme was rather lengthy, but much enjoyed by the audience.

Miss Laning, though earnestly requested to sing a solo, was, owing to the lateness of the hour, obliged to refuse. Two prizes, each often dollars, were offered by a certain pastor, whose modesty prevents his name being given, to the ones who had 'made most progress, respectively in vocal and instrumental music during the present school year.

It was impossible for judges who, perhaps, had never before heard the performers, to decide who had made most progress within a given time.

Prayer was offered by the Rev. R. E. Manning, of Milwaukee. The address by Mr. Walsh was brief, appropriate, and touching, ·when he referred to those who had left us since a year ago.

Indeed, we were constantly reminded, during our Commencement weeek, of some who had gone to their rest, the most eminent and widely known being Prof. M. P. Jewett. How many longed to see his beautiful face in its accustomed place! No one felt like saying, he is no more, nay, but how many felt, he is more and more to us.

The papers by Miss N. E. Smith and Mr. J. A. Watson, were witty and free from the ordinary stale and qum;tionable jokes. The debate was notably interesting, and was contested with vigor and ability on both sides.

The essay by Miss Gertrude Halteman was remarkable for its purity of diction and elevation of thought, and was uncommonly well reacl.

The oration by Mr. W. S. Yule deservedly received much praise. Mr. Yule has the elements of a fine writer, and vigorous an.cleffective speaker, in a high degree.

Mr, Yule was presented at the close of his oration, with a beautiful basket of flowers, arranged so as to form the .flag we love so well.

We regret that the lack of space preventi; our giving a more detailed account of the various productions.

The coHege chapel was filled, to listen to class day exercises of the graduating class. The Senior Class noted principally for dignity, for once, for a brief space of time each year, descend to a level with the unclassical. The audience were highly entertained for more than an hour. But the entertainment will no more bear reporting than a joke will bear repeating. Mr. Walsh in a neat speech, presented to Alma Mater, in behalf of his class, handsome busts of Virgil and Plato.

The presents usually oestowed upon members of the incoming Sen~or Class, were this year given to the teachers,· creating a vast amount of amusement. The History, by Miss Jennie Boorman; Prophesy, by Miss Mattie Eising; Oration by Mr. Morten, and music, as before The music was enthusiastically received. Mrs. said, while amusing, are indescribable.

John T. Smith was unable to be present, owing to sickness in her family, and the friends were much disappointed.

Mr. Frank Wright, filled the vacancy with even more than his usual THURSDAY,JUNE 22, 10 A.. i\L success.

Mr. Frank Walsh, and Miss N. E. Smith preThe friends of the college gathered to hear sided joir tl:;.-. the essays and orations of the graduating class.

The programme, given in a former number of the GREETINGS, need not be repeated here.

The exercises were opened with prayer,by Rev. Robert Leslie, of Waukesha.

Music was furnished bv the orchestra of Beaver Dam and Miss E. J: Laning. The music was well rendered and well received.

There was not the same expression of appreciation on the last, as on the preceding days.

There is always a· more subdued air, and it is very fitting that it should be so.

The young essayists and orators were well showered with beautiful bouquets at the close of each performance.

The productions were uniformly good.

The writers were more concerned in making a point than in appearing eloquent.

Ground was traversed which men are accustomed to travel, and not the ethereal sky and boundless waste to which the young college orator often invites his hearers. vVe commend the class for the eminently practical treatment of their subjects. While graduates write such essays or orations, they will not lack appreciative and interested listeners.

Each produ.ction deserves a careful resume, but lack of space forbids us to begin the . agreeable task.

Miss Hattie Amanda Doolittle was prevented by sickness in her family from being present at all the exercises of her cla.5s. Her classmates regretted it the more in that she had always stood high in her class and had taken an active part in general college and class exercises. She was however able to be present the last day to receive her diploma with the rest, which Prof.

Vv ood awarded after an earnest address to the graduates.

He urged upon them the life and exampie of Pro£. Jewett whom they had all learned to love dearly. His words £ell not on the class only; they came home to all, and made the heart thrill and the. lip quiver.

In the afternoon at 3 o'clock, the Trustees met at the College to transact business. The Treasurer being absent, Professor Wood reported for him, that Sept. 1st, the close of the financial year, all current expenses of the school would be paid, and that there might be aslight balance in the treasury.

Such reports are so uncommon in the history of Wayland University, that it took all by surprise. This is the first time that it has occurred: may it continue. The usual committees were appointed and vacancies filled. The same faculty was retained.

Appropriate resolutions were passed in memory of Pro£. M. P. Jewett, which appear in another place.

The festivities of the week were ended, and the next day the halls 0£ Old Wayland were deserted.
