; I Commencement Note.
On Jan 8d, 1852, thirty -nine young
gentlemen, registered from North Caro
lina, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia, received diplomas
conferring the degree of A. B., In the col
lege chapel of Chapel H1H. - Precisely fifty
yean afterwards, on Jane 8d, 1902, four
of this class, the only onee of the eight sur
vivors who were able to be present, met In
the same chapeL These four were Bev. S.
M. Frost, D. D.f an eminent minister from
White Haven, Pa., Thomas C. Leak, a
wealthy banker from Bocklngham, N. C,
George Hagh, Insurance agent, from
Fayetteville, N. C and the writer. These
four old boys were found always to
gether. They recalled old events and ln-
I lively time but they would go - to sleep
while the speaking was going on. I be
lieve they got more real fun out of the
commencement than any of the young
boys. . But it was pathetic to notice how
often they would rest during their ram
bles around the campus. ' Aracbel, the
youngest of the four, waa very glad to
find out that Tom, George and the min
ister had forgotten his bid jokes, and he
tjld them over again. It would take a
book to tell all that these old gray heads
s aid on that day. ; The commencement
exercises passed off with great smooth
ness not a hitch or balk occurred from
the beginning to the end. - The speeches
of the graduates were, every one, of the
very first order; with subjects peculiarly
up-to-date. The attendance was large
the weather beautiful the water In tbe
old college well better than ice water
the intercourse between bid friends, long
separated, charming and delightful tbe
attention to oar wants by former pupils,
Sophomore Jasper Howard and Junior
Ralph Harper something not soot to be
forgotten and most thoroughly appre
ciated and enjoyed. - 1 - Abacbxu

-Upon tba arrival of tbe guests they
chatted in the reception hall, and enjoyed
beautiful music by the Carolina orchestra
until time for tbe banquet to commence,
when all formed In line and marched to
the banquet hall, Here a beautiful sight
met their gate, a symphony In purple
and white, tbe color of tbe order.1 From
the four corners of tbe room to the center
were festoons of Dumle and white bunt-
I log; In the center was suspended an um
brella with alternate sections of purple
and white, the emblems of the order
emblazoned upon tbe : whits r panels.
Beneath this was a pedestal surmounted

white magnolia blossoms which freighted
the sir with their rich perfume.
The tables were as much a delight to
the eye upon entering as they later proved
to the Inner man. It was : a rare and
radiant picture, the bright gleam of sli
ver beautifully contrasting tbe prevailing
purple.
Sixty covers were laid and at each of
the seats for the lady guests were bou
quets of white and purple pansles
skewered with sliver Elk pins, the favors
of the evening. And at each cover was
a souvenir menu on heavy purple paper
printed In white as follows: ,

, Dr. Thos. H, Faulkner made ; the ad
dress of welcome. He welcomed all the
ladies present as sisters. He said b.
presumed all ladles present were wives,
sisters or sweethearts of Elks. 1 If wlve
they were to all Elks sisters, as ail El
were brothers. If sister to an Elk the
were sister to all Elks aud If sweethearts
to Elks they were prospective , elstere,
He then in appropriate language filled
with fine sentiment extended a cordial,
generous and bountiful welcome to all.
From then on fun and merriment con
tlnued unbrokenly. The speeches am
toasts were interspersed with jokes on
those present which prevented a 'single
dull moment, Some of the-jokes are
given as foltbws: "; 1 -' "!

Mr. W. A. Mitchell responded to the
toast "Fraternity, as Exemplified by
Elkdom" and Mr. F. C. Dunn to the 11
