June 14th, 1883,
It is always a pleasure to ug to at
tend these annual gatherings of the
old friends and patrons of the school
for many are the hallowed memorie8
of the past drawn hither by the silver
cord of association, i, Trinity i loow

College many wonderful improve
mcnts have taken place in and around
Trinity. The landscape is beautiful,
residences handsome, the fields are
now waving with the golden grain
the meadows are clothed with a lovely
mantle of clover and herds grass, aud
everything beautiful greets the eye
on every haud. Here I spent my
school days and myriads of happy
recollections crowd our memory the
veil of the past is lifted and we again
live over the happy by goues 'School

dispel all gloom and bring forth
bright cheerful thoughts and pleas
ant memories of the by eones. These
magnetic words seem to electrify and
enthuse us, for they are suggestive of
the bright moments spent here "long
ago." They re-call the familiar faces,
the kind greetings over whose memo
ry we love to linger.
Yesterday, (Wednesday,) has al
ways been regarded as one of the big
days, as it is the day for the delivery
of the Annual Address and Sermon.
A large crowd assembled in the Chap

Annual Sermon by Rev. Dr. A. O.
Haygood of Ga. They were sadly
disappointed when Prof, Pegram an

said, no actual summer occurred. But
