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’

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.

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.
