Recent Years

Was the Testimony Given by the Rector Rev. Dr. Curran-The Building of Character was the Keynote of the Speakers.

The annual commencement ekerolscs cf.

St. Dunetau`s College took place yester-

day afternoon. The College Hall was nioelydecorated with hunting and filled

ihiyrr, Judge Fitzgerald. J.A. Mathieson, Dr. and Mrs. Warburton, Benj. and Mrs. Rogers, Peter and Mrs. McGrath, James Patou, Judge and Mrs. Warburton, lDr. Conroy, A. A. McLean, D. 0. M. Reddin, Jas. Eden, John McPhee, Dr. l`aylor and other prominent gentlemen and ladies.

A feature of the occasion was the excell-

ent music furnished b the Glee Club who

cho' u es. Other numbers of the program iocluded vocal solos beautifully sung by Master Eddie O'Toole and Bernard Gillis and piano duett. by C. Lawlor and B. Hennessey who were received with app- lause.

The alumnlprize essay was won and

read by Stephen J. McDonald. It was an admirable production of the lighter side of the collene career-the Social Side of College Life.

Tre Valeriictory was read by T. J.

Eagleston, while the remaining graduates of the college occupied seats upon the platform. It dealt with the object and use of the college life-the building of character and the attaining of the highest objects of life.

Judge Warburton congratulated the

graduating class upon their success. He urged upon them that they make their memory worthy of being held by their Alina Mater. He presented two elements of knowledge, (1) Know thyself. Know what you are and what you can do; (2) Acquire an knowledge of the spirit of the

depended much of the success of f great men of the world. Grasp the spirit of the age. When you go out into the world avoid procrastination. Have your work up to the day in which you live. Be. punctual. Do not steal the time of others and thus you will save yourself and others great trouble Be manly and own to your mis- takes. Bc prompt, be urgent and press for- ward. Try and make the world better. Try as much as you can to amel’orat.e the condition of the world in ao far

as vou can. Avoid ruts and grooves for’ ifyou dont your mind will ie dwarfed and you will be unflttcd for llfo’s battles. Broaden your mind, press forward but do not neglect your present occupation. Do your duty and_ you will succeed. The path of duty is the way to glory. In closing he again con- gratulated the class upon their success and urged that whatever their hand find* to do, that they do with all their might.

'lhe Rector Dr. Curran thanked all who

had come to the college to assist in the closingexeicises.Charact rhad teen inoul- c ned, which is so necessary to the young man attending college. These elements which Judge Warburton had spoken of are essential to the highest excellence and the true man.Wlth truth and right on his sldea man should not be afraid to (acc the whole world. Truth must conquer and man with iruih on his side will come out of the ordeal unsoathed. Speaking of the graduating class he said it was the finest, all in all, tolloave the College in recent years. They. were always solici- tous for the welfare of lhe College. He thanked all who assisted thc College and made a feeling reference to the late Mrs. Maurice Blake who had been suddenly called to a better land.

Governor Molutyre congratulated the,

evils of internperance which was the greatest temptation tc the young.

Dr. Taylor was glad he hai coune to the college if only to hear the weighty words of the last speaker. The greatest mous- strosity ofthe present day is n drunken man for a time a lunatic by his own hand. The shortest road to popularity is be generous to one's companions. lt is well to study yourself but it is better to know other people. Let us digest the know- ledge we have and handle it for the good of ourselves and others.

John A. Matheson, M. L. A. spoke of

the pleasure at meeting the faculty and students for the first time. Here are opportunities for education by which the students need not take second rank to any. The young n en entering the stage of life meet with great op- portunities for success. Canada is a magnidcent field for a boy entering life's battles and his prospects for success are unlimited. Young msn graduating only go out into the broader school of life to fight the problems of the school days o,er again.

The national anthem brought the pro-

ceedings to a close.
