Two of the four orators to speak at Commencement have been announced, and the other two will be selected in a few days. Bishop Theodore Bratton, of Mis sissippi, has accepted the invitation to deliver the baccalaureate sermon, and his address is being eagerly looked forward to. Bishop Bratton is a South Carolinian, a native of Fairfield county, and his visits to this State are always sources of great pleasure to his many friends. John Skelton Williams, Esq., a well known capitalist of Richmond, Va., is to be the Commencement orator. Mr. Williams is a force.ful speaker and his address will be one of great strength.

Commencement Week will, as usual, be crowded with many delightful so cial affairs. Quite a number of dances have been scheduled, the Juniors will tender the departing Seniors a smoker, and there will be numerous smaller affairs to add to the pleasures of the week. .The plans for the June ball promise to make it more brilliant than ever and form a fitting climax to the week. Among the other features that are being planned, will bea reunion of the class of 1907.
