We were unable to see Miss Wilson, Miss Churchill or W. H. Brown.
Class Day exercises were held in the University chapel Wednesday morning instead of Tuesday as heretofore; the change being made for the purpose of giving the Law Department one day in commencement week.
The Coates' House Orchestra opened the exercises with the overture "Pique Dame." The invocation was then delivered by Dr. Howland. After a selection from "Ernani" by the orchestra the welcome of the class to its visitors and friends was extended by C. E. Springer. Mr. Springer's remarks were characterized by that sincerity and earnestness that constitutes true eloquence.
The orchestra then gave the waltz "Scenes from Vienna Woods."
"The Reign of the Politician" by W. T. Reed was one of the best on the program. Mr. Reed spoke in his forcible, feeling style that seems to force conviction upon the listener. His oration was well prepared and contained much good thought.
"The Balanced Forces of Nature" by Paul Goddard, was something new. His subject gave an opportunity to avoid the beaten paths of a college oration and so gave a freshness to his effort that added to the charm of his good diction and easy delivery.
"Golden Robin Polka" a cornet and flute duet was one of the best musical treats of the week.
The "Hat Speech" by Fred Bowersock was a witty comparison, or rather contrast between the great and shining lights that make up the brilliant firmament of '88 and the lesser lights of '89. He was roundly applauded.
George Dick, in the "Response" on behalf of the Juniors, relieved any anxiety that may have existed in the minds of the audience lest next year's Senior class should show a retrograde movement in University work.
The solo for the clarinet, "Som-
nambula," was another musical treat.
The Valedictory was given by F. G. Crowell. It was something more than the usual valedictory in that it contained a few ideas aside from the regrets natural to those who were leaving long and dear associations. Mr. Crowell's effort was undoubtedly one of the best of the day.
"Somerset March" by the orchestra closed the program. It was rendered in the usual finished manner.
The Lawrence Business College and Academy of English and Classics is fast taking rank with the best institutions of the kind in America. The college has greatly multiplied its activities and extended its scope, and its present spirit is broader than ever before. It feels the impulses of the great and growing West, and its faculty are resolved that it shall be presently developed into an institution of importance, fully commensurate with the demands of the times. Its faculty is composed of men and women, not pedants, nor recluses, nor pedagoges.

TO TEACHERS AND THOSE PREPARING TO TEACH.
Do you dread examinations? Are you preparing to teach? Are you deficient in any branch? Do you want a better position and a higher salary. Do you seek to become more proficient in school work? Are there any branches which you wish to review? Would you like to view school work from students' standpoint? Have you "become rusty" in any of the school branches? Are you looking forward to a liberal education? Have you any idle time during the summer months which you wish to employ? In short, if you are not completely satisfied with your present position, salary and ability, allow us to call your attention to the Eight Weeks Normal Institute at the Lawrence Business College and Academy, beginning June 12th.
