Proposition
Worth Considering
Commencement of
Pacific University
The pant live day* have been
busy ones with the faculty, stu­
dents and friends of Pacific Uni­
versity. It was the annual Com­
mencement season.
The opening number of the
series of public entertainments
was the anniversary of the Con­
servatory of Music, which was
given Saturday evening, with an
excellent program and a fair a t­
tendance. The vocalists tuking
part were Misses Gertrude Porter,
Camilla Mills, Beth Crandall, and
the member* of the Glee Club,
while the performers on the niano
were Misses Bessie Smith, Eliza
beth Hervsy, H e l e n Brunner,
Ethel McKinney, Edith Mocroft,
Dulcina Brown, Margaret Mor­
gan, Gladys Clarke, Margaret
Marsh,Bessie Smith and Mr. Rus­
sell Beals.
The Baccalaureate service was
held at the Congregational church
at 11 o’clock Sunday morning and
consisted of an organ prelude by
Miss Waggener, the Doxology, the
invocation by Rev. Siis, the
Gloria; responsive reading, led by
Dean Clarke; a hymn, scripture
lesson, read by Rev. Patten; a
chorus by a mixed choir from all
the churches, a prayer by Rev.
Ebert, a solo by Miss Beth Cran­
dall and a very impressive ad­
dress by Rev. Edward Constant
of ihe First Congregational church
of Portland. The t hem»* was
"Called to Service,” and the
speaker laid gn at stress on the
importance of being simple, direct
and efficient, taking the life of
Christ as an example. The Savior
spent thirty yeurs in a -mall
mountain village preparing him­
self for the big work to which he
had been callerl. He declared that
men and women of high ideals
would find plenty of opportunities
to serve their God and their coun­
try. While the members of the
class were few in numlrers because
of the war, the sf>eaker declared
that if those present had in them
the spirit of Christ they would
make themselves felt in the world.
He implored the members of the
class to lend aid to the allies fight
against Prussianism and * play the
game.”
In the evening there was an­
other good program at the church
on the occasion of the address be­
fore the Christian associations.
Rev. Herbert G. Crocker of Ore­
gon City made the address, which
was an inspiration to the higher
Christian life and devotion to
duty and civilization.
The Senior Class exercises were
held on the College campus Mon­
day afternoon and proved very in­
teresting to lay citizens, as well as
to the students. In the evening
Mi*» Waggener presented Miss
Eleanor Paterson, piano, and Mrs.
Hutchinson presented Miss Beth
Crandall, vocal, at Marsh hall, in
a very classical program. Russell
Beals was accompanist.
The Literary societies held their
reception on the campus Tuesday
afternoon, serving light refresh­
ments to their guests. An excel­
lent program appropriate to the
occasion was given here, also.
One of the best conoerts given
in the city in years was that of
Tuesday evening, when the an­
nual commencement concert was
given. There were several selec­
tions by a string orchestra, com­
pos d of William Wallace Gra­
ham, first violin; A. M SchufF,
second violin; M. Christensen,
viola, and F. Konrad, cello. John
Claire Montieth, baritone, made
a distinctive hit in a number of
solos and Miss Goldie Peterson,
always a prime favorite, added to
her laurels in several numbers, in­
cluding an encore. The cantata,
"Fair Ellen,” was directed by Mr.
Graham, with Miss Peterson and
Mr. Montieth singing the solo
