The music both vocal and instrumental, was rendered in a moat commendable way and fully appreciated by tbe vast audience present. The program of inuiaday evening wa-i rendered at tbe opera house. Ihe building was packed to tbe doors by eager attentive listeners. All who were permitted to be preent were ifc-aly pleased witb tbe degree of ex cellenoy that cbaractized the subjeot matter and delivery ot toe various umbers on the program. The platloriu :was beautifully and uniquely ai ranged and decoiated. Id tbe center was the large banner bear ng the figures '07 taatefi.lly displayed in the class colors, both winga of tbe stage were decorated with vailons oolored penants, representing all tbe higher institutions ot earning in Ore gon.

The graduating olasa of '07 was left alone on the stage as the cboir passed otf. and lor tbe remainder of the ev ening occupied the time with their diverse literary productions. Miss Maude Merrell presented her subject "Oregon Literature." in a t vie seldom equaled Dy a student or her years. The spirit of loyaty to our state and nation, which waa current n her oration, found a reciprocal re snonse from her eager hearers, une reached a olimax in her suojeot wneo she referred to personal conlributiona made by tbe noted men and a omen or Oieson In the eurionmeut or me in telleotual and moral lite of our great common wealth.

Miss Uladys Hartley roiiowed with vocal solo entitled "If Thou Dld'st Love Me."
