NO. 26 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. The program for commencement follows: Friday, May 28, 8:00 p. m.

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. •The Orange Thorn"—$2.00,
