THE DAILY EXAMINEK CHARLOTTETOWN, JUNE 1, (899

PRINCE OF WALES COLLEGE.

| } Commencement Exercises—Summary

of Addresses.

There was a large attendance at the commencement exercises of the Priace of Wales College, which took place in the Opera House last evening. Besides Dr. Anderson and the young ladies of the graduating class there were on the plat- torm Hon. Donald Farquharson, Premier of the Province and Prerident of the Board of Education; Hon. Angus McMillan, Provincial Secretary - Treasurer; Hon. James R McLean, Commis-ioner of Pub- lic Works, and, Rev. A. P. Mcuellan, Rector of St. Dunstan’s C -llege, who ad» dressed the graduates.

The proceedings began with a selection by the St. Cecilia Maedolin Club, which WAS excec dingly wel! p ayed, avd deserved, ly app'auded. Later in the’ evening

the club gave another selection, which was equally weil rendered. The College Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Hedley McKinnon, also did well, singing three choruses with much acceptance. Miss Pridham’s vucal solo was sweetly sung and was one of the best items on the pro- gramme.

The essay ov “ Lady Macbeth,” by Mise Alberta Smith, was an exceedingly well- written analysis of one of Shakespeare’s most udtable characters. The essay was attentively listened to and warmly ap- plauded.

Miss Maud Breciner, daughter of Mr. Benj. Bremner, of this city, was the vale- dicwrian. She pointed out that because of the unsan! ary coudition of the class- rocms the best possible results bad not been obtained during the year. While the curriculam was more extensive than in former years regret was expressed that the study of German was not included, and the hepe was entertained that io the future more attention would be paid to the study uf modern languages. Toe thougbtful- ness of Dr. Howatt, a distinguished grad- uate of Prince of Wales, in offering a prize each year for the best eseay On some subject connected with Canadian history or liter- aiure, was fittingly ackaowledged, as was also the excellent work performed by Mr. Hedley McKinoon in cennection with the Gke Cinb, Appropriate references were aleo made to the College Debating Club, the Mock Court and the Y.M.C.A., and the opinion was ex-

picesed that the College j vroal should be

revived, The ald Cell g. building, around whch clusters many pleasant memories, was also referred to, and the excelleat work done ty Dr. Anderron and those associated witb him on the teaching staff pointed cut. Touching references were also mae to the death of tour graduates during last year, Dr. McMillan, Frank Kernedy, Talmage McMillan and Edwin P. Rovins. It was pointed out that thirtyezeven years ago, when Dr. Anderson entered upon bis juties, there were only about twenty-five +tudents in attendance and the work was very vlementary, while during the past year there have been two hundred and

' | Speaking vf the gratuates of the college who tad died during the year, the Mesers McMiilan, Kenvedy and Robins, he referred tot .eir work at old Priuce of } Weles and the success which attended their = efforte Dr. McMiilaa and Frank Kennedy died after they bad each attained a good measure of suc in their chosen professions; Messrs Robins and Talmage MecMillao pas-ed avay when they were entering upon the duties of life with the brightest of pro-pests He was sorry to part with the graduating class of 1899, to one and a!l of whom he wished abuudant success io the battle of life.

Dr. Audereon then explained that the medals had not yet arrived, and their pre~ sentation would therefore have to be de-

Ce@s8

ferred until they came to hand. In this coosection he pointed out that for the second time inte history of Prince of

Wales the bignest prize had been won Lv a young lady, aud it had been won witb much distinction. Comp!imentary refer- evces were also made to the other me dal- iste, afier which the diplomes were pre- sented

ihe graduates were by Rev. A. P. MclLe'lan, rector of St. Davatan’s College. He empha- sized the necessity of each one selecting the profession or calling for which he wa

vaturally adapied; and a choice having been made, great care should be taken tu properly equip ons’s self tor his life's work. Education is more geueral now than it ever was, aod no person can mas- tereVerything. A good m-ral character an essential requisite for success. Failure is usaally tue ow come of entering

is

a profession or calling fur which we are bot adap:ed by nature. Do not be deterred from

choosing the calling for wuich nature fits you by the fact that this especial branch is overcrowded. Remember that “there’s always room at the wp.” Whatever profes~ sion orcalling isdecided upon struggle to become master of it. Bend all your energies towards the accomplishirenc of this purpose. Be constant in your ap plication, and practice self denial. Above ail so conduct yourselves that when the end comes you will leave this world t he better for your having been in it.

Premier Farquharson was the last speak- er. He pointed out that education had made rapid strides in Prince Edward I[s- land, and Dr. Anderson had much to do with thig advance. He attended Prince of Wales Qullege @ good many years ago, io

the an>8 ¢ Cundall, Keasy and Arbuckle, ani if was then con- sidered quite an jnstitytion.
