which was largely attended,
and was presided over by the Right
Reverend Reverdy C. Ransom who
as the presiding hishop of the Seventh
Episcopal District, the successor of
the late Bishop John Hurst, automatically
becomes chairman of this
board. Bishop Ransom's 'erudition,

The commencement exercises began
Sunday, May 25, at;-3:00 p. m. with,
the Baccalaureate discourse by "Dr.

has most successfully served Benedict

his own choice and accord, retired this
year.-?Drc _Ar>tisdel did not preach
ly practical address, whose subject
was: "Flowers now, but, later on.
thorns mostly, from which subject?
-he' most skillfully, and apparently,
nuisL. ettectively, led Tils youthful
hearers to understand that they should
not-be surprised'at but rather expect,
a lack of gratitude for service
rendered, or failure, on the part of
the multitude, to show appreciation
for, or render aid to, efforts and sacrifices
that are Tirade for, and made
in the spirit of the Christ. And, ^y
illustrations".most apt, he most successfully
showed,' and stressed, that
in terms of imperishable and lasting
values, the life that is lived in the
spirit of, and .in accordance with the
ideals of the Christ, is the only rOally
worthwhile life to live. The intense'
earnestness of the speaker and
the evident sincerity of his utterances,
together with" the wholesome
subject maffer, made this address
truly, a great one.
On Monday night, the address to
the Theological Depart-ment was delivered
