The last speaker from the class,
Mr. Samuel Evenden, pointed out
the iufluenco of commercialism on
education. He deplored the ten
dency to eliminate the "culture"
studies from the curriculum, with
all their liberalizing and 1 refining
eflect, nd argued that our twenti
eth century education should not
only fit a student to "do things",
but to be a man or woman in the
fullest sense, able to participate in
the enjoyments of life as well as in
the strenuous action. Hie conciua

Improve the Negro's Condition'
By ex-President G'rover Clove-
and. It is foolish for us to blind
ojr eyes to tbe fact that more
should be done to improve the con
dition of our neg-o population. It
should be entirely plain to all of us
that the sooner this is undertaken
the sooner will" a seriou duty be
discharged and more surely will we
gaurd ourselves agaiust .future
trouble and danger. If we are to
be just and fair toward our colored
fellow citizens, and if they are to
be more completely made self res
pecting, useful and 6afe members of
our body politic, they must bo
taught to do something more than
to hew wood and draw water. The
way must be opened for them
to engage in eomething better than
menial service, and the!r interests
must be aroused to rewards of in
telligent occupation and careful
thrift.
T relieve that, the exiirencv can
only be adequately met through
the inst'umentality of well equipp
ed manual training ana inuusiriai
aphonia, conducted either indepen
dently or in connection with ordin
ary educational institutions, x am
convinced that good citizenship, an
orderly, contented life and a proper
coiicepiiuu ui tiviu iiivu" u
obligations are almost certain to
grow out of a fair chance to earn an
honest, hopelul livennooa ana a
satisfied sense of secure protection
and considerate treatment.
The children's service announced to
occur at the Presbyterian church next
Sabbath evening, is postponed for tbe

Birthday Party.
Wise made a profound impression
upon the class and audience and
met the high expectations ot an
who knew of his great reputation.
With burning eloquence and in
poetical pictures he pressed upon
the graduates the necessity of be
ing men and women of "vision"
and "character".
Music was furnished by the
Lucas Orchestra, Normal Ladies'
Chorus, and by the soloist, Mrs.
Rose Bloch-Bauer. While all were
well received,' the superb singing
of Madam Bauer was a great treat,
for which the good people ot Mon
mouth and vicinity must thank
the enterprising Music Committee
of the Class of 03.
Dlp'omss were presented t(7""fhT"22
graduates whose names and addresses
are printed elsewhere in this paper.
The class of 3903 has certainly sus
tained the high standard set by former
graduating classes and passes into the
history of the Btate Normal School
marked by high scholarship, leyal ad
herence to its Alma Mater, enterprise
and originality.
