audience very much in the way she
turned her "Foot prints in the

in the pathway of life ; and Miss Nora Baker did herself much credit
in a well written and well spoken
oration on "Dreams and Realities;"
and Miss Lois Porch drew, in very nice style, some lessons from Aeneas'
wail. "Troy is no more." The
Valedictory was delivered by Mr,
John Bickuell, who was assigned
the first honor of his class. Prof. Beck closed the exercises with a few appropriate words to his pupils, leavino- them all in pond snirits.
The class, as the custom is of late years, sat for its picture in Sum
mers' Gallery, and the boys and
girls will carry with them a good

their preparatory days.
ADDRESS BEFORE THE LITERARY
SOCIETIES.
On Monday evening Hon. Geo. W. Cooper delivered the Annual Address before the Literary Socie
ties. His subject was "Genius," which he discussed in an original
and ingenuous way. Mr. Cooper's
faculty for public speaking is well known in Bloomington, and this address added to his already high reputation. He denied the existence or reality of genius and attributed the success of successful men to the "genius" of hard work, unwearying industry, untiring attention, and the readiness and ability to assert one's self for what he is worth. The oration wasof a health
ful nature for young people, and a youth of good mind and good intent would draw from it much encouragement and inspiration. He closed with a plea for high and noble convictions, and for the moral courage to maintain them. Mr. Cooper prefaced his address with some remarks on the decline and present condition of the Literary Societies of the University. His earnest plea for a renaissance in the literary life of the societies was perhaps not appreciated by many of the undergraduates. But to those who remember, with Mr. Cooper, when Athenian Society was in her glory, and when to represent her before the public was a worthy distinction iu college life, his words, came with a sad and peculiar force. There was a tioic.and that not uuny j

The "Golden Rale" store, on the sooth side, has been crowded with goods this season. Mobjey appears to be carrying a larger and more diversified stock each year, and his trade is increasing so steadily and so satisfactorily that he is sometimes unable to wait upon all, who call with the promptness he would like. Still they wait, good naturedly, feeling that they can afford to be discommoded because of the bargains they secure at the "Golden Rale." You will find many articles at this store this season that have not been handled heretofore, and the prices are so low that anybody's parse can be fitted. Joe M.

Call j ties were strong and vigorous aud
active and useful, when the members felt some responsibility for their condition and took some pride iu their achievements. "Athenian" and "Philo" are nearly as old as the University itself, and to the alumnus like G. W. Cooper who received from Athenian his training in oratory for the four years of his college life, and who gave to her
ins best endeavors, they will always
seem like an institutional part of his
Alma Mater, lhey should never he allowed to sink into permanent decay. The generation of students now in college should be led to ap
preciate the fact that they are respon
sible to prosterity for the transmission of a heritage which they them
selves have received, lhese societies are not thtirs only; they have come dowu from men who have a
right to expect that their organization and benefits will be maintained and continued to others, and the
young men now on the stage should
see to it that it shall never be possible for anyone in their day ' to
write finally of their decline and
fall. For several years past, through intrigne and unworthy combina
tions, or from factional and ungenerous action, good men and good
work have been lost to these socie
ties and new societies have sprung
into existence. If the old will not do their work new ones must arise;
but reform generally follows seces
sion or revolution, and "old Philo" and "bid Athenian" should be, as we believe they will be, retouched into vigorous and healthful life.
or several years we have
noticed that their gradual decay has caused a lack of interest and life in the Valedictory Exercises of Com
mencement week. 1 his year, hav
ing reached the nadir of their decline, the Validictory on Friday
evening, which used to be,taking it
all in all, the best performance ot Commencement week, was entirely
suspended. Without a Valedictory
and without a Class Reunion fol
lowing, we could not help but feel
on the anniversary of the evenings
we were accustomed to attend these interesting exercises, that our Commencement, viewed in the light of
success gave every promise of
proving an utter failure, but view
ed in the light of a failure every indication pointed to a magnificent success. .
The fact is that the literary in
terest attaching to commencement week is a thing of the past, absolutely so. And the reminiscences
suggested by Mr. Cooper's person
and address suggested the proprie
ty of saying so.
ALUMXI was held
Tuesday, June 7, at 10 a.m. The
presiding officer not being present,
Mr. John D. Alexander, class 1861,
was placed in the chair. 1 he nuin
uer present was tne least ever known, but a very lively interest goon manifested itself and the meeting was a good one. After the usual preliminaries, the report of Miss Belle Maxwell, chairman of the , committee on the Alumni Library
BUSINESS MEETING
in the College Chapel,
Alcove was heard, and the money
raised ordered tobe spent for books. Prof. Atwater and others discussed
at some length the question of
arousing the alumni into taking
more interest in commencement af
fairs. This resulted in the appoint
ment of Profs. Woodburn and
Rawles and Miss Belle Maxwell
as an advertising and arrange
ment committee. Uhe committee on nomination reported as follows:
Prest. of Association; J no. Koberts,
class 1861, Chicago; Vice Prest. G. W. Cooper, class 1872, Colum
bus, Ind.; Treas., Lon. J. Rogers; Record. Sec. Miss Belle Maxwell ;

W. J. Bryan, J. K. Beck, Lizzie
G. Hughes. O. E. Bradfute, Arazi Atwater. The question of the substitution of an Alumni dinner for the present evening entertainment was warmly discussed, and resulted in the following committee, :J. K. Beck, W. A. Rawles, Robt. W. Miers, Lon. D. Rogers and Miss Lou. Maxwell, whose business it will be to effect such a change, if possible. It was also decided that the alumni no longer assume management of evening levee, but a committee with Prof Atwater as chairman was appointed to confer with the faculty as to the best m eans
of keeping up this time-honored,
pleasurable affair. 1 he Association
then adjourned. ALUMNI ADDRESS AND EVENING
ENTEHTAINMENT. By previous announcement the annual address before the Alumni . 4"al .
was delivered in the unrisiian
church. At about 8 p. m. the ora
tor of the evening, Hon. Jno. Rob
erts, class 1861, was introduced to the audience. His theme was The Social and Political Life of the Times of Homer. The production had in it much literary excellence,
scholarly investigation, and practical discrimination. The orator pre
sented the life and character of the
blind Homer with much force, and
out of his discussion drew the useful conclusion that whether the
famous bard existed or not we of
these times have the example of his
life and the lessons of Grecian eivi-
liziation, and it is our duty to make a practical application of them in the life and works of to-day. It is to be regretted that Mr. Roberts did not have a larger audience and especially that more of the Alumni
were not present.
At the close ot the address, the
annual levee was held in the new college buildings. The committee had evidently spared no pains to
make tins a success and it is a
matter ot serious regret that not
only more citizens were not there but also that so tew Alumni were
present.
While this is styled the Alumni
levee, it looks to faculty, citizens
and visitors as well as to alumni
for its success. It is much to be hoped that next year the attendance
and interest manifested in this af
fair will be more in harmony with the place it should have on the commencement program. The re
freshments and music were excellent
and the occasion was a very pleas
urable one to those in attendance.
COMMENCEMENT DAY. The closing exercise ot the week was the graduating performance of tbeclas8of87. These exercises have
changed much from what they used
to be, when the boys, after careful preparation and practice, would stand before the audience and speak their pieces out boldly like men, as if they were really anxious, or, at least, were willing for people to hear what they have to say. Now they mostly read their essays, in a style as if it were a matter of indif
ference whether anyone beard them
or not, and as if they had never seen their manuscript till the day
before. 1 be good old style of im
passioned oratory has fallen into
disuse. The style of the "Theses" has superseded it. But the class, tho' it made no effort at speaking, (except in the case of Mr. Fesler,
who easily carried of the honors of
the day) still showed a spirit of
thought and research, and made the audience common people be
lieve that they had been studying
deep into the mvstenes ot science
and literature. And all wished the members of '87 prosperity and success. Dr. Jordan closed the day's exercise with some remarks to the class in his usual happy vein. What he says is to the point and carries peculiar weight. The program of the day was as follows : Law and Precedents, Albert Kabb, Snoddy's Mills, Fountain Co.

Harry Witherby, now of Mem phis, Tenn., is paying his parents a short visit. The climate of Tennessee evidently agrees with Harry, as he is the picture of health. Mr. Beekman and family o' Wichita, Kansas, have come t Monroe county to stay, till next Fall at least. Mr. B. traded for Mrs. Durand's farm west of town
and has brought fifteen brood mare?
here to put on grass. He is wel! pleased with the trade he has made. The ladies of the Commercial Hotel have now rented the entin building, the corner room is beinp divided by a partition and will bi transformed into office and sample rooms, and everything will be a handy as possible. It takes "nerve" to take hold of business in that way, but the new proprietors have it. The Alumni Supper and Reception was an acknowledged success, all of which is due to the untiring labors of the committee having the details in charge, viz: Ben. Adams jr., Dr. Jas. Maxwell jr., Dr. Weir, the Misses Maxwell, Mrs. Theresa Gregory, and Mis.e Attie Sanders, "Fairvieij," the handsome addition to Bloomington on the northwestern corner of the corporation,
is booming. Better buy one of
