COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
Stetson Will Graduate Overy Sixty
Students in Various Departments.
This week's being the last issue of
the college paper, we are announcing two weeks in advance the program of the occasion's exercises.
As is customary, the Music School
will begin festivities on Friday evening May 28th. Four diplomas will
be awarded by the University that
evening. Prof. Morse, who resigned
as dean of the conservatory, will return from Greenville, S. C, to par
ticipate throughout the commencement week.
The Academy will turn out the
largest class of graduates and are a
strong band. They will make splendid representatives of Stetson and
on their return next year as college
men will win distinction. For the
entire class of sixteen to pass into
the College of Liberal Arts promises to strengthen that department in
every way.
The lawyers who finish are few in
number. They only number three,
yet are of excellent caliber and
known in various phases of school
life—Botts, Hull, and Adams.
The College of Liberal Arts will
grant fifteen diplomas. This is the
largest college class the University
has ever graduated. Dr- Farris is
especially interested in it for the fact
that half, lacking one, are A.B. men.
The remaining five men are B.S.,
while Ph.B. and B.S. degrees are
about equal among the four women.
Including the Normal, the Tech
men and Business College, the total
number receiving diplomas will
amount to over sixty. As the next
two weeks will make a difference in
the work and grade of some students
the exact number is not yet known.
A large number of alumni and old
students will be on hand to join in
the gayeties of the week for they are
of unusual interest.

Prof. Suhrie to Deliver Address.
Although it is two more months
before the closing of school, still
some preparations are already being
made for the commencement exercises.
Prof. Suhrie, dean of the normal
department of Stetson University at
DeLand, has been invited to deliver
the commencement address, and Saturday Prof. J. H. Workman received
a letter from Prof. Suhrie accepting
the invitation.
Prof. Suhrie is one of the most
brilliant young educators in the
State, and it will be a great pleasure
to have him in Ocala at that time.—

GRADUATES OFF FOR
CHICAGO
Six Will Register There the 21st of
June.
The question of a summer vacation has already been solved by six
of tiie fifteen graduates of the College of Liberal Arts. Messrs. Blocker, Carlton, Bl^ke, Smith, Bostick,
Glass, have determined to finish at
Chicago University. Mr. Blocker
who is the class president will in all
probability spend the next couple of
years in the theological school while
Smith will leave at the end of the
summer to take up teaching in Greek
and Latin. Though extra work in
the languages will constitute Blake's
schedule for the summer months,
beyond that he is undecided. Carlton will finish his law course after
research in economics and history.
A scientific course as he has followed
here will occupy Glass' time in Chicago, while theology is the object of
Bostick. Next fall Mr. Bostick will
register in the Louisville Seminary.
The three ' months' summer work
of these men will, through the affiliation with Chicago, aw-ard them a
diploma likewise from that institution.
Accompanying these in their summer work, will be Prof. Tingley and
Rockwood. Mr. Tingley has been
doing work in his private laboratory
and will receive his master's degree
at the end of the summer course.
Air. Rockwood's attention will be
given entirely to physics and next
fall will again make one■of our faculty.
This, together with the former
Stetsonites at the University of Chicago, will make a pleasant little Stetson colony and their work will be
attended with much conviviality and
pleasure.
