Senior exercises of the Seminary
were held in the Lutheran church,
filled to OTerflowing with ; an ap
preciative audience. I would not,
Mr. Editor, ' undertake to com
ment on the essays of the class.
All did well, in fact splendidly ;
the literary merit of the produc

the avprae one hears on such
occasions; - - v
Six of the graduates appeared
on the programme with essays
on the following iubjects : ... Salu
tatory, "Esse Quam , Yideri," by
Miss Myrtle Salome Patterson;

This evening ;at ,3 o'olook in
the churoh, with music by the
Charlotte Orchestra, the contest

by the Alumni association, came
off. Those who participated
were .Murry.Xqn, Geo- Barringer,

selves with great credit; each one
deserved a medal, but only one
could be. given ; .The committee
after special mention of Earnest
Foil, awarded the medal to Geo.
Barringer,! son of Senator C D'
Barringer. I
Mr. LofU n T.mi- tit
tain, S. O.; whdis in attendance
upon commencement, made the
report for the judges. 'Mr. Lathan
took occasion, to refer to his
travels and then, said : "I hare
never seen a more f delightful
place than Mt. Pleasant and ; her
warm-hearted hospitable people
in this magnificent moral atmos
phere are! unexcelled." This,
quite ,, naturally, since recent
events was greeted with applause
in which the many visistors joined
heartily. ,y : ; ' ' . . . V'
In this connection, it might be
news to a part of the church Jo
say that these people, encouraged
by many expressions of sympathy
and support from loyal Lutherans
of different parts of the Synod
are determined that unwise and
precipitate action Bhair not de
stroy the college. The work
planted here by .the men who
sacrificed and the 'men of God, who
built wisely when the churoh was
weaker numerically; and financial
ly, shall go on. Thb' grieyed at
the snap-action, it is now certain
that the college will continue at
its present site. May good, at last,
come from evil.
