THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY JUNE 29, 1894.
COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT.
Full Account of the Exercises
of the 24th Commence
ment of the O. A. C.
FRESHMES'S ENTERTAINMENT.
The entertainment remlereil by the fresh
man class on Friday evening, June 22nd at
the college chapel, was a great success.
The performance commenced promptly at
8 o'clock. Long before this time, though,
the people commenced filling the chapel un
til when the exercises commenced the hall
was completely filled by a crowd of gaily
dressed ladies, gentlemen and children.
The first numlier on the program was a
piano duet by Misses Johnson and Lilly,
rendered very acceptably.
This was followed by the address of wel
come by the class president, Mr. Victor
Moses, in which he explained that this
would be the last chance to see and hear the
class as freshmen. That very shortly now,
they would be scattered all over Oregon
enjoying their summer vacation in various
ways and that when next they appeared on
the scene it wonld be as sophomores and
juniors.
The next on the program was a declama
tion by Miss Edwinna Aveiy, entitled "The
Old Actor's Story." Miss Avery showed
great power of ' expression in this recitation
but might have spoken a little louder.
Miss Sadie Friendly next read an inter
esting and instructive essay entitled "All
Things Come to Him Who Waits." Some
very good thoughts were expressed in this
essay that many people might well re
member. The next number on the program was a
vocal quartette by Misses Martin and Bar
nett anJ Messrs. Muses and Elliot and sung
very nicely.
Mr. Robert Golden, better known as
"Bobby" came next with a reading entitled
"How We Hunted the Mouse." To those
who heard him for the first time and
watched all the various expressions flit
across his features, who listened to that
tale of woe as related by "our Bobby"
these listeners were simply thunderstruck
and some yonng ladies actually started to
elimb up on their seats, so realistic was Mr.
Golden's delivery of this humorous reading.
An original poem, entitled "The Fresh
man's Dream," by Miss Josie Moses was the
next on the program. Miss Moses has
great talent as a poetess and the audience
no doubt wondered how far she was going
to lead them when Miss Moses would jour
ney from one end of the earth to the other
in a seeond of time and would touch first at
Paris then at New York and then to China
or Russia, eto. and always find some mem
ber of her elass in some business or in some
condition.
Next came a gnitar trio by Misses Lin
ville, Martin and Linville which was greatly
appreciated by the andience.
An oration by Otis Taylor came next on
the program. Mr. Taylor took the elass
motto for bis subject and obtained seme
very good thoughts from "Row, Not Drift."
A well rendered male quartette by Messrs.
Hoses, Elliot, Ray and Cooper was the next
number on the program.
This was followed by the class history by
Miss Mildred linville which was undoubt
edly the hit of the evening. Miss Linville
baa a beautifully modulated voice and it
could be heard plainly by everyone in the
audience.
Although class histories are always simi
lar jet thi history was of a very superior
ort and was not intensely personal as some
that were read at last year's commencement.
The class song composed by Miss Mnses
was the last on the program aud was sung
very creditably by the whole class. It was
written to a medley of tunes and will com
pare very favorably with other works of its
kind that have appeared at previous class
performances. The class song was taste
iully arranged to a medley cf popular airs
by Victor Moses and is as follows:
In September, you all know.
Which was many monts ago.
We all started here upon the Freshman year;
Lesson have been hard and long-,
But our teachers, who were strong-.
Helped us over all our rough and rugged ways.
But those days they now are o'er.
And wo ne'er shall see them more
They have drifted to that bright eternal shore;
But the mem'riea of them bring
Thought that in our heart do spring
While our voioes Join in on this old refrain,
"Hons, Svzr Hons."
Our Intercourse as students is soon to have an end.
And we no more, as Freshmen, in session here
attend;
'The thought will be a pleasing one where'er we
chance to roam
-That In the halls of the O. A. C. we had a pleasant
home.
So well say good-bye to our dear old college home,
io our teacnera, ana r resident so aear
Then, when our vacation days are nearlr o'er
And the time for our return is drawing near.
We will hurry back t you
And we'll try to be so true,
A ad wall never care to wander any more.
80 good-bye, teachers,
80 good-bye, teachers.
So good-bye teacbeis, -
We say good-bye to you.
But merrily we'll hurry back.
Hurry back, hurry back,
Merrily we'll hurry back
To commence school anew.
This ended the public entertainment and
the claas after inflicting their "yell" ad
journed to Cauthorn Hall where refresh
ments and a general good time was in
dulged in.
"Well be no more!
We'll be no more!
The freshman class of '94!"
COMMENCEMENT SUKDAT.
Every place in the college chapel was
filled before the time set for the commence
ment of the service at 10:45 on Sunday, the
24th inst
The sermon was preached by the Rev.
Thos. L. Cole, of Trinity Episcopal chnrch,
Portland, and the introductory part of the
service taken from the liturgy of the
Episcopal chnrch. The musical part of the
service was rendered by a large choir which
had been carefully trained by Mr. W. Gif
ford Nash. The anthems and especially the
great chorus "Be Not Afraid" from Mendels
sohn's Elijah, which preceded the sermon,
were sung with a force, precision and nnity
of tone and purpose which was delightful.
The sermon, having for the text the fa
miliar words of the Lord's prayer "Thy
Kingdom Come," was delivered without
notes and listened to throughout with silent
and interested attention. It was an appeal
to all the bearers bnt especially to the large
graduating class seated just before the
preacher, to recognize the gradual bnt
always growing effacement of the line be
tween the sacred and the secular. The
recognition of the kingdom of God in daily
life, in matters of politics, education,
science and art, as well as in what is com
monly called religion. Mr. Cole sketched
rapidly the historical advance of the king,
dom of God as the kingdom of righteous
ness, love and peace through the long years
of the Christian era. He urged his hearers
to adopt and carry into their daily lice the
principles of which God's kingdom consists,
enforcing the hatefulness of selfishness and
isolation, and the beauty mid attractiveness
of righteousness of the priesthood of love,
righteousness and peace to which all were
called iu the S.ivior'a words.
THE JUNIOR ENTERTAINMENT.
The junior class of the O. A. C. broke
away from the usual program of cntertaiu-
nient and presented a very original program
at the opera house on Monday evening,
Jure 25th. There must have been at least
1000 people present at their performance
and the opera house was tilled to overflow
ing. The hoodlums, in all their glory,
adorned many seats in the gallery and
amused themselves by throwing paper wails
promiscuously and by stamping, whistling
and hissing as the fancy struck them.
Downstairs the body of the hall was over
flowing and huudreds of people brought
chairs with them and tilled the aisles until
there was not a passage way of a foot
through the aisles. To can the climax
six long benches were brought in and de
posited directly in front of the largo doors
so that if an alarm of fire had sprung, peo
ple would have been piled up twenty feet
hinh and the casualties would have been
innumerable.
The exereises opened with a drill by the
junior girls, in fancy dress. They looked
extremely pretty and showed marked pre
cision in their movements and went through
numerous intricate evolutions without a
hitch. At the end they took beautiful at
titudes and red light was thrown upon
upon them.
A piano solo by Miss Minnie Hodes fol
lowed and was well appreciated by the
audience.
Mr. Lester M. Leland then delivered an
oration entitled, ''As tho Sowing, so the
Reaping." This oration was exceedingly
good aud showed much time and study had
been put on it. Mr. Iceland's delivery was
forcible, his speech clear aud gramroatic,
his arguments good and his gestures came,
for a wonder, in the right place.
A recitation by Miss Mary Smith came
next on the program. She recited a poem
entitled "Flying Jim's Last Leap' in an
excellent manner and threw much pathos
and expression into her delivery.
A vocal piece by the junior chorus fol
lowed which might have been improved
upon.
Miss Jennie Gi'llatly, in behalf of the
seniors, then delivered the mantle oration
and turned over to the junior class the
senior mantle with all its cares aud re
sponsibilities but also all its pleasures and
delights. She inforned the junior class
that the seniors had taken good care of
their mantle and that the juniors should do
the same.
Mr. John F. Allen made the response in
behalf of the junior slaas. He promised, for
the class, that they wonld honor and pro
tect the mantle thus handed down to them
aud never soil it by one dishonorable act.
The next number on the program was a
declamation by Mr. Austin T. Buxton en
titled "Music on the Rappahannock." This
was excellent and the junior class are to be
congratulated on having such a declaimer
present in one of their number. Mr. Bux
ton modulated his voice wonderfully with
the. different portions of his piece, fierce
when war was spoken of, tender when
thoughts of home were presented and
through all his voice was clear and every
word could be heard distinctly; through
the piece soft strains of music could be
heard. First, "The Star Spangled Ban
ner," then "Dixie," and finally "Home
Sweet Home," Bounded out louder and
clearer.
Mr. E. R. Doughty had been elected
class historian and delivered his remarks on
the class in hnmorous style. He seemed to
have obtained most of his jokes on the
different members whilst on that memora
ble excursion to the seaside, but unfortu
nately he did not enlighen the audience as
to how he conducted himself whilst on the
excursion.
Next on the program came a cornet duet
by Messrs. Williams and Stemler.
Following this was a tableau by the girls
of the class representing in a most humor
ous manner the agricultural boys. This
tableau was excellent, but unfortunately
many people in the front of the audience
enjoyed it so much that they had to stand
np and thus shut out the view from the
andience in the back part of the hall.
A well executed piano duet by Misses
Emmit and Finley followed.
Then came another tableau, which was
also excellent, "to represent the mechanics"
by the agricultural class.
A piano olo by Miss Addie Bristow was
next on the program and was very com
mendably executed.
The mechanical class now made the hit of
the evening in a tableau in two acts entitled
the household economy course. Claude
Williams looked especially ludicrous hold
ing a large-sued baby on his knee in a
most affectionate manner.
The program nw ended with the class
song written by Miss Dorothea Nash and
sung extremely well by the whole class.
When the audience had, after much
stauculing, managed to get out of the hall
the class enjoyed a most delicious collation
and finally left for their several homes in
"the wee smV hours."
THE CLASS SONO.
We are coming in a sort of a disguise.
And it' going to take the students by surprise;
For we're all inclined to work.
And never do we shirk.
But we alwavs get our studies when we try.
Chobus:
We're the class, the smartest class.
The only class of eighteen-ninety-five:
For the boy all like to hoe.
And the girls all like to sew;
For we're the best, the class of '95.
We have finished all our lessons for the year.
Our examinations now we do not fear;
Though our class is now the largest.
Our studies were the hardest,
And we seldom bad a moment's time to spare.
As melts the snow on Mary's peak so high
So melts our elass as we all homeward fly;
We hope to meet again.
And greet the mist aod rain
When the highest college summit we shall climb.
SENIOR NIGHT. '. " -
The exercises of the senior class on Toes-
day evening, June 26th, were given 'before
a crowded house. The first thin? noted
was that the chapel commenced to All at
quarter after C. The people being willing
to wait more than an hour and a half for
the certainty of having a seat. When the
cadets had finished their drill there was
not an available seat in the house and in
stead of the students getting the benefit of
the prepared program, there was hardly a
student present and those who were present
were mostly standing outside.
The exercises opened with the address of
welcome by Miss Jeuuie Gellatly. She had
a nice address prepared but could have put
more study on it with good effect.
Mr. Mark Bump then favored the audi
ence with a piano solo delivered in a most
praiseworthy manner, his touch being
especially good.
Next on the program came Ross C. Fin
ley with ao oration on "DetinitenefS of
Purpose." He commenced his oration by re
ferring to the history of Queeu Esther an
illustrative of a person having a fixed pur
pose, iu this case to save the Jews. "Now
we have the wisdom of ages for a guide and
all should have some definite aim in life.
We have grave questions before us aud we
should do our whole duty."
A vocal solo by Mr. E. ft. Eiiitnett came
next. This was especially good and should
have received an encoro.
Chas. Chandler was the class historian
and performed the duty of showing the mem
bers of the class in some predicament to
everyone's satisfaction. But class historians
are the same in every clans so nothing more
need be said alont it. It is to be hoped
that future classes will try and replace the
histories by something more original and
not quite so personal.
The next on the program was vocal duet
by Misses Parsons and Delia Gellatly which
was quite good.
A tribute to the tree was now listened to.
Miss Currier's address had reference to the
class tree and was very good if it had been
spoken a little louder.
The piano so!o by Miss Hattie Friendly
that followed was undoubtedly the rarest
treat that lovers of music had listened to
during the exercises. She played the Fan
tasies of Schumann in two parts, ) Even
ing; (l) Soaring, with beautiful touch and
tine execution. Miss Friendly also played
entirely from memory and during the whole
of the long piece she held the audience en
tranced.
The class prophecies by Miss Luna
George came next on the program and if the
members of the senior class fulfill her
prophecies the class of '94 will be famed
indeed.
The class song, written by Miss Parsons,
was the last number on the program.
The exercises as a whole were very fair
but diil not compare favorably with
the other class performances, and the
seniors were no doubt withholding their
best efforts tor the next day.
Preceding the program indoors was a bat
talion drill on the campus. The companies
made an excellent allowing, aud displayed
the result of thorough training and disci
pline under Lieut. C. E. Dentler, U. S. A.
SENIOR CLASS SONO.
We're the senior class of ninetv-four;
For sorre time we've been pondering o'er
Much deep modern scientific hire, ,
Of which we have a great amount In store.
Choeus:
Now our school days, they are past,
" Still we remember
Though we now dismember
That these pleasures could not last,
For the class of ninety-four.
We're the latest from the O. A C,
Here to irreet you with much dignity;
And we're sure that you will all agree
Tbt we're very, very distingue.
The year to us has quickly passed away.
And no we leave these collet halls for aye;
We fair, would linger here another day,
'Mid scenes that seem to us so bright and gay.
GRADUATING EXERCISES.
The graduating exercises held in the col
lege chapel during the morning of Wednes
day, June 27th, proved most interesting
and were deeply appreciated by the vast
audience that assembled to hear them.
The stage had been beautifully decor ited
with tot-house plants. Graceful festoons
of ivy being around the hall and the class
motto, "To be, not to seem," was beauti
fully displayed on a bank of moss in front
of the rostrum. The flowers presented by
admiring friends to the class were arranged
at the front of the rostrum and formed a
bank of brilliant colors.
The exercises opened with a march
played by Prof. Rosebrook's ' orchestra, to
the soft strains of which the graduating
class hied in. The class was seventeen iu
number, nine young ladies taking the
course of Bachelor of Household Economy;
three gentlemen taking ;the agricultural
course, and three the four-year course of B.
M. E., and lastly two taking the scientific
course.
After the invocation by Rev. H. Gould
came a beautifully rendered piece by the or
chestra.
Miss Lettie Wicks now delivered the salu
tatory for the class. This was excellent
and showed most .careful training. Miss
Wicks Awas calm and collected and enun
ciated distinctly the beautiful thoughts ex
pressed in her salutatory.
The salutatory will appear in full in the
the next issue of the Gazette.
Mr. Edward G. Emmett now delivered an
essay on "The Steam Engine an Index to'
Civilization." This was exceedingly good
both in the thoughts expressed aud in the
manner of delivery. Mr. Emmett's argu
ment plainly showed by logical sequence
that the steam engiue is an index, and a true
one, to the worlds' ciyilization.
Miss Ina V. Gould next appeared on the
program with an essay entitled "The Possi
bilities of Woman." There is no doubt
that Miss Gould is a thorough woman suffra
gisfc Her essay plainly showed that in
every large avenue for work woman is
j the equal to man and that in many profes
sions superior. Many illustrations were
cited to prove this.
An interesting and instructive essay by
J. H. Gibson came next. His subject was
"The Fuel of the Future," and his essay
plainly showed how deeply he had delved
into the subject.
A vocal solo by Miss Jennie Gellatly came
next and was well received by the audience.
Miss Frano J. Parsons now came forward
with an essay entitled "Literature in the
Home." This essay was especially good
and the andience at the end conld not but
admit that good literature was essential in
all well regulated households. '
The next essay delivered was Mr. Mark
Bump's on "The rotation of crops. Mr.
Bump must be especially commended, for j
he took a subject that to most people would
seem uninteresting, but after listening to his
essay 110 one could deny that it was a most
interesting plain-forward talk on a practical
subject and a talk that all could enjoy.
The next essay read was on "Nature's
Sweet Messengers," by Miss Evelyn Cnrrier.
This essay was beautifully written and de
livered in a manner that would be a credit
to anyone. Miss Currier explained what an
important relation flowers bear to the world,
the mission they fulfilled and the advan
tages to be gained by communion with
nature's sweetf-st offerings.
Mr. Chas. Chandler came next with an
essay entitled "What i a Diploma?" As
everyone-expected, who had ever heard Mr.
Chandler in any of his compositions, this
essay was fine and presented some very
original ideas as to what a diploma is.
Miss Delia Gellat.Iy's essay on "Mu?ic"
was an ideal one lth iu thoughts ex
pressed and in manner of delivery. Her
beautifully modulated voice rose and foil as
different topics connected with the subject
were taken tip. She gave a brief history of
music and described the first instruments
and the discovery of th eight notes.
Music in nature was also spoken of, as the
music found in the rippling of broi ks,
rustle of leaves, sigh of the wind and the
ocean's roar.
The valedictory was delivered by W.
Frank Hohnan and was a masterpiece. For
a student's, work it has seldom been equaled
and never excelled. A glance through the
audience during Mr. ifolmau's speech
showed the tell tale tears on many cheeks.
For a testimonial to show the appreciation
of the audience no more is needed. Mr.
Holman's speech ended with the exhorta
tion to the students to honor the flag so re
cently presented to them. He said "Let the
colors be carried not for show but that its
lessons may be inculcated into the minds
and hearts of every student."
Rev. Roland D. Grant of Portland had
been asked to deliver the address to the
class.
He said that the very program itself was
the best address, all that was necessary was
to read th titles of the essays to learn a
lesson for future years. Mr. Grant men
tioned the fact that nothing was so essential
to the people today as the work the O. A. C.
is preparing the students for.
"The rulers, princes, bankers, etc.,
might perish and the country could still
live, hut let the farmers perish and the
country would perish ilso."
This address was most inte resting and
the class of '94 may well be thankful to
Mr. Grant for the parting words addressed
to them by such a speaker.
President Bloss next conlerred the de
grees after a short speech .
Under the three-year course. Miss Sarah
Currier, Evelyn Currier, Hattie Friendly,
Jennie Gellatly. Delia Gellatly, Luna
George, franc Parsons, Ina Gould aud
Lettie Wicks took degrees in Bachelor of
Household Econoins1: Mr. David Adamson,
Mark Bump and Charles Chandler took the
degrees of B iclielor of Agricultural science.
In the four year course Messrs. Edward
G. Emmett, Henry M." Desborongh and W.
Fr 'nk Holmau took degrees as Bachelors of
Mechanical Engineering; and as Bachelors
of Science Messrs. Ross C. Finley and
James H Gibson were the only candidates,
Supt. McElroy next addressed those who
had successfully passed examinations for
the state teacher's diplomas, and conferred
the diplomas. The whole graduating class
had been successful; Mr. George Deiiman
and Miss Newton were the ouly other can
didates. The music throughout the exercises was
furnished by Prof. Rosebrook's orchestra
and wa3 of a very high cl: ss of excellence.
Owing to the nnmlicrof graduates in the
class, only half of them delivered essays.
All had, however, urepared essays and
judging from the titles of those not read
would compare favorably with those that
were heard.last Wednesday morning.
Miss Sarah Cnrrier had an essay on "Ar
tistic Home Furnishing." Mr. Adamson's
subject was "KiJlinatioik" Miss Hattie
Friendly bad written an es9ay with "Ethics
of Luxury" for its subject. "Origin aud
Nature of Soi U " was Mr. Finley's subject.
Miss Jennie Gellatly wrote ou "'Synonyms."
The subject of Miss George's was "Garden
ing an Art." and laetly, Mr. Henry Dei
borough had written on the "Hiatory of
Iron and Steel."
ALUMNI PROCEEDINGS.
At a business meetinar held in the aftftr

In the evening the assembly hall was
again jammed to its utmost capacity, by
those anxious to witness the exercises of the
alumni association. On the stage were
seated about seventy-five of the association's
members, and at the first strains of a march
by the orchestra, the class of '94, numbering
seventeen, were marched to the platform
and presented by Prof. French. They were
received into the alumni by President R. J.
Wilson, to whose address of welcome Henry
Dosborough responded. Following this H.
L. Hoi gate, classs '86, read an original

ceased president of the college, B. L.
Arnold. After a well rendered duet by
Misses Ora Spangler and Anna Samuels,

study; and was delivered in a clear voice
and pleasing style. lhis concluded tne

Crossing tho Atlantic
Usually involves seasickness. When the
waves play pitch and toss with you, strong1
indeed must be the stomach that can stand
it without revolting. Tourists, commercial
travelers, yachtsmen, mariners, all testify
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is tho best
remedy for the nausea experienced in rough
weather on the water. Nervous and weakly
travelers by land often suffer from something
akin to this, and find in tho Bitters its surest
remedy. No disorder of the stomach, liver
or bowels is so obstinate that it may not bq
overcome by the prompt and thorough,
remedy. Equally efficacious is it for chills
and fever, kidney and rheumatic trouble and
nervousness. Emigrants to the frontier
should provido themselves with this fino
medicinal safeguard against the effects of
vicissitudes of climate, hardship, exposure
and fatigue.
"My little bov was very bad off for two
months with diarrhoea. We used various
medicines, also called in two doctors, but
nothing done him any good until we used
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea remedy, which gave immediate relief
and soon cured him. I consider it the best
medicine made and can conscientiously rec
ommend it to all who need a diarrhoea or
colic medicine." J. E. Hare, Trenton, Tex.
