LEGE-LAIT DAY OF ANXUAL On Thursday morning last, a Large audience had again assembled in the Lecture Hall of the College,to witness the interesting proceedings. Piecisely at io, a. m ihe pupils entered the hall by both aisles, and took their se?.ts on the front sub-gallery benches, while a processional maich on two pianos was prettily rendered by the Misses-Mamie Robbins, Rhusie Wil son, Maggie Colvert and Capitola Grainger. Rev. F. L. Reed then came forward on the dais, and as soon as quiet prevailed, offered up a most elo quent prayer; a fervant appeal to the Lord on high to shed his merciful blessings on the bod of the pupils, the senior class, the faculty, and the institution. This was followed "by a quartette, for two pianos. Socderman's wedding march, most charmingly ren ilered by the Misses Grainger, Vaughn, Sherrill and Wilson, and loudly ap' plauded. Next came some very pretty salutatory addresses by Miss Alice Stackhouse, of Marion county, S. C, which were characterized by becom ming brevity, feeling and propriety and highly appreciated by the au dience, A chorus. The Crimson Glow of Sunset Fades, by G. F. Root, was then charmingly rendered by the Vocal Class, and most deservedly applauded by the audience. The Prize Essay, on "The Power of Song.7 by Miss Maggie v. bmith, of Greensboro, which came next in order, was one of the promi nent features of the day. and elicited great applause. It was a profound historical effort, descriptive of the different classes of song, closing with an emphasis on "Sacred Song," and was, on all sides, pronounced to be a most worthy and able presentation of the subject, sustaining in the minds of the most critical part of the audience the award of the committee. This was followed by a somewhat humorous discussion of the question, "Is novel reading injurious in its effects?" Miss C. Addie Webb, of Wadesboro, N. C, taking the affirmative and Miss Annie M. Page, of Rockingham, N. C., plead ing the negative. The pros and cons were well sustained throughout. When Miss Webb had finished it looked as a conclusive fact that it was an "awful thing" to read novels; but when Miss Page had eloquently pleaded her side of the question, she had undoubtedly persuaded many of her hearers that they could hardly get on without more or less novel reading. The audience applauded, most loudly, but were greatly divided on the question at is sue, and a third party seemed to have been needed to review the ingenious arguments and decid the case. On the conclusion of this discussion, Miss Bessie Sherrili came forward and sang in fine mcsso soprano voice, '"The Flower Girl," by Oxenford, which was heartily applauded by the audieoce. Then came a magnificent valedictory address by Miss Lena J. Maxwell, of Dallas, N. C., on "Women in His-tory.- Miss Maxwell delineated the gradual uplifting of woman into her true position and demonstrated very forcibly that the most effective agent in this process was the Christian re ligion. The address was loudly ap plauded and was followed by a piano solor a Polinaise in E flat by Rubin stein, most charmingly rendered by Miss Mamie Ajdernian. the audience acknowledging "their appreciations in hearty applaus e Dr. Jones, the Presi dent of the College, then Came forward and stated that the confeiing of de grees was now in order; he had been depending on someone eke to per form this duty, but being disappointed he was now compelled to go through with it himself, without leaving an op portunity to make preporation to say what he would hke to." Nevertheless, the Doctor was drawn out to make a very appropriate and strong ad dres5. m, which he emphasized the fact that the class just graduating bad only begun their education only "laid the foundation," the superstruc ture being still a thing of "the future. The Doctor was also- very happy in' calling up the salient points in which the young adventurers, so to speak, are specially, interested.- Diplomas were then conferred on 21 graduates itf "Regular Course." Diplomas - in Music were conferred on "two pupils. Miss Alice Exum. of Durham, and Miss Addie Donnell. of Greensboro, Greensboro; N. C, TuEsday, Mry. 31, 1887. and the diploma for Art waV conferYe'd on Miss Alia Vernon,' of Slatesville, Va. Presentation of Biblei was next in order, and this task was most grace fully performed by Rev. J. Henry Smilll D. D., of Greensboro, preced. ed by a few-eloquent remarks on "the Bible." Dr. Srrith was. of course, "at home" in this t leme. Among his al ways happy eforjs he was perhaps never more hapy.than on this occas ion. How true and how beautiful were all and everything which he said about the Bible,, and the young ladies will doubtless long remember his feel ing "God bless you. my daughter. as he handed each an elegant copy of the sacred volume that guide-book which, through joy or sorrow, with delegated power from on high, alone can lead our faltering foot-stepson-ward to eternal peace and happiness. Dr. Smith said : "Young ladies of the graduating class: Your loved a honored President has asked me-to deliver to you the Bible, given to you at this interesting moment, as a. farewell token of the care and love cherished for you in the past by your instructors, and as the augury of this hope, and the talisman of your iiappiness and safety in all your future." "May 1 be permitted just to add, that no gilt could be made to a class of young ladies especially, more ap propriate and significant than the presentation to each of you of our precious Bible." "You can recognize and trace the course of any str3am of water by the rich verdure, the waving shrubbery and the blooming flowers that spring up and flourish along its banks. .You can trace il it may be for miles. un til you come to some bright and laugh ing spring, which is the tiny moi her and source or all this lile and beauty. And such is the Bible". What words can describe the flowers and fruit that spring up along its path ! 1 But of all its earthly benefits and blersings its influence upon woman, and upon our homes is the most marked and beau tiful. Yes, the precious and holy names of sister, daughter, wire, moth er and home. through the influence of the Bible, and the christian civiliz ation it alone and always produces are five words or humanity which above the language that our angels use. spek to us mortals of happiness and love. They lis on the heart like the dew-drop on the rose, sweetening and refreshing it. The index and measure of our real civilization is the character of our women and our homes : "111 fares the land, to hastening ills' a prey, Where wealth accumulates, but homes decay. Princes or lords may flourish or may lade; A breath can make them as a breath has made. But virtuous homes, our country's boast, If once we lose them are forever lost." Nay, more, I believe, that the altar of liberty and the shrine of all that is best and dearest, stands on the hearth-stone, and the fire that burns on that altar, is kindled and fed by woman's hands. and the best protec tion of that shrine the only palladium of that altar, are the pure women that surrround it. If the religion of this Bible (as has been well said) -had no other jewel to place in its ciown, it certainly has this the new respect (born of its teaching and influence) to ward that gentler sex of yours whose delicacy, of structure, for ages its chain, is now its girdle oi beauty and honorl It is a fact, significant for the past, prophetic for the . future, that evin as Dante in the third vision of his "Divina Comnedia," measures his successive ascents from one realm f Paradise to another and a higher. 1 ill he reached the last and highest, not by immediate consciousness of in v ruent. but by seeing an ever lovelier grace and beauty in the face , of his guide and companion, his sweet and saintly Beatrice, so -it-is pn earth." Oar race, as history teaches, counts its progress upward towards happier and purer lives and sweeter homes. not Iby inechanic arts, or manufac lurers. or commerce or cities.not by its armies, its navy,1 its teeming wealth and population but by the elevation and culture of woman, and the conse quent new grace, and beauty of our homes!' " " ' '-.-.. Take' theo-this- Bible; cherish and ' - - - - , AND OF THE STATE. prrze it, and feel and sjy of it, ever and ever : "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." T!?e -presentation or- medals came next and formed a vtry pleasing feature in the day's proceedings. The Lucy McGhec medal awarded for the "best essjjr written for graduation by a member of the Senior Class." was presented to the successful contestant, Hiss Maggie V. Smith, of Greensboro, the- Rev. W. Si Creasy performing that duty' in an exceedingly graceful and appropriate speech. The Art Medur awarded for "the best painting in oil from nature," was presented to Mis .r 'Hagan. of Greensboro, by Rev. R. F. Bumpass, in a well con ceived and gractfully delivered speech, the Baxter Phillips Scholarship Medal awarded for the "highest grade of scholarship in the Junior Class, was next presented to Miss Huttie Dail, ol New Berne, N.C., by Rev. F. L. Reed. The speaker was entirely without preparation, having been requested to perform the office of presentation after entering the hall, but he was, how ever very happy in his impromptu Sullies and brought down the house in his playful allusions to the ludicruj consequences that might arise from the ground taken in the Bishop's speech of yesrerday. A Duo for two pianos, the whole Overture to Rossini's William Tell, was then charmingly played by the Misses Sally Jones and Mary Arnold, and heartily applauded by the audience. Rev. J. F. Crowell. or Fredericksburg, Pa , had been ex pected to deliver the annual address, but was detained at his home, on ac count of death in his family. Dr. Jones, in stating this fact to the audi ence, added that he regretted, very much, that a telegram announcing the inability of Rev. Mr. Crowell to be present had only reached him a few days ago.. "Astronomy and other Onomies,' a grand chorus by Bennett, sung by the whole of the Vocal Class, closed, amidst prolonged applause, the morning exerciser. ANNUAL CONCERT. The crowning feature of the. com mencement exercises was the annual concert given in the evening under the direction of the accomplished and popular Prof. R. Fasolt, whose ser vices as teacher in the higher branch es of musio. was ono year ago secured for tho College. The large. hall was crowded to its utmost extent long before the hour appointed for tho concert to commence by a most fashionable and appreciative audi ence, many of whom had come from long distances to enjoy the rare musi cal treat, which all felt, was in store for them. The concert opened precisely at 8:30 p. in., with Worskowski's 'Spanish Dances" No. 3 and 4, ar ranged for four pianos; most ex quisitly rendered by the Misses Dail, Burroughs, Moore, Long, Ed wards, A. Jones, Adams and Alder man, and most heartily applautte by the audience. "La Farfallata" (Torry) was then sung, In a fine so prano voice, by Miss Iludgins, and loudly applauded by the audience. Next in order came a fine violin solo, with piano accompaniment, ren dered with great success by Master Willie Jones, the -youngest son of the President of the College, a stil younger sister presiding at the piano. The solo was loudly applauded, and in response to repeated calls from the audience, Master Jones came again forward, and gave a pretty little encore. This was followed by one of the leading features of the evening, a most difficult, but excellently ren dered piano " solo, by Miss Alice Exum, the young lady.who had suc cessfully competed for the gold medal, awarded to the most advanced graduate In music. The published programme, had announced a Polo naise, in E flat, by Weber, bat a much more '.difficult piece of music, a Grand Valse? In A flat, by Cho pin; had been substituted In Its place. The prominent ease, and finished per fection, with which this most diffi cult piece of music was rendered, was greatly admired, and enthusias- tically commented'on, by the many competent Judges who were present: mingled- with . loud praises for her highly accomplished and painstaking teacher on whom Miss" Ex urn 'a con- w MMbnstlUKU. No. 118 splcuously successfully achievement reflected renewed lustre. Miss Exum bowed her acknowledgements, in re sponse to repeated calls from tho au dience. A vocal trio of soprano voices, by tho Misses Wilson, Hudg Ins, and Smith, came next in order. It was the beautiful selection, HindijTgt" by Cimarosa, mot ter. fectly rendered. At Its concision, there was a hearty call for tccre whereupon tho young ladies again came forward, and repeated the last stanza. A short rwss was then an nounced. When the nudienco was agalu called to order, tho President of tho College. Itev. T. M. Jones, D. D. came forward, and announced, that tho Rev. Mr. Creacy, of Durham, whom he Introduced to the audience, would, on behalf of tho College, preset the gold medal, awarded for "the highest efficiency In muMc.'' Rev. Creacy then took the floor, and In a few well chosen remarks, com mented in a most eloquent manner. on tho power of music. '-Music." he said, "is bcrn in heaven," Its sweet sound?, arc wafted to us on angel winrs in our ninnint .r heartfelt Joy. He pictured,! in glow ing language, tho soul Stirling iiow- er which music can exert frven over the soldier, when fact to face with his mortal foe, on the choscu baltlo field, and referred, as an Illustration, tp tho famous order at Waterloo, by the Duke of Wellington, to the Colonel of the forty second High landers. '-Let the pipers strike up' Music sweet and low, he said In conclusion, "wi!: greet the liberated soul in heaven and all earth, each human heart, is but the Instrument. over which, the loving finger of God Is presiding." Mr. Creacy -then called upon Miss Alice Exum. to step forward, 'and on her doing so, complimented her highly, for her" conspicuous skill on the piano, and handed her, on behalf of the College authorities, the much coveted prize? a beautiful gold medal, which, for this purpose, had been given t: the College by Mrs. It. Glenn, of Greens boro. The hecond jn;rt of the evenings concert, commenci'd with, a Duo, for two pianos, Galop Chromatique by Liszt, most artistically rendered, bv mo blisses uonneil and Kxum. r.nd loudly applauded by Uie audience. This was followed by one of the prominent feature of the evening, .1 vocal solo, the enchanting Suufj Sonj ftpm Meyerbeer's Dinorah, rendered, in a clear and full soprano voice, by Miss Spears the highly ac complished lady teacher at the College .iu vocal music. Continued rouuds of applause greeted this de lightfully rendered selection; and the almost deafening tumult did not subside until Mi-s Spears was seen to rise, and walk to the front of the dais. She then ang, as cncore with magnificent effect, "Coming through the Rye," while another deafening shout of applause went up from the charmed audience, as she resumed her scat. Next i.imc piano solo, Cascade, by Pauer, most artistically rendered by Mi-s Don nell, at theconcluion of which, Mi- Sherrill, in a fine tnesso soprano voice (with violin obligato. Prof. Fosolf.) sang, the "Angels Serenade.- by Braga. Both of these selections, were loudly applauded, by" the audi ence. A number of written, and numerously sigr.ed, requests from the audience, to heir Prof. Fasolt on the violin, had, during the course of the evening, been handed 111 to the President of the College, as well as to the Professor, who, in response to these calls, called on Mr. George WoodrofTe, who was present in the audience, to assist him, and the two gentlemen then gave the audience, a rare, musical treat, by playing, on two violins, Labltzky's enchanting Sennerinn Dream. The loud and pro longed applause which followed, a 1 .1 r ft, . . .. ioiu loreiuiy, now nigniv the ren dition had been appreciated by Ihe nuuicuw. me nuai num. e and a leading feature of the Concert was the grand chorus 'Tho Heavens are iell Ins the glory of God," frm Hydeo' masterpiece, the CVcalioii, admirably rendered by over thirty voung laeies J of the VocaW;iass together with a number 6t gci.llciueu of Grecpb ro who harl kindly vlup.leereil to assist.
