PRESENTATION PARTICULARS

One of the events indirectly connected with the animal commencement of DePauw university and one which was possibly of the greatest interest to the host of friends admirers and pupils of Miss Julia Druley, of the faculty of the DePauw University School of Music, took place at Meharry Hall, Wednesday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock The event centered about Miss 1 Druley, and was announced to the public as a "Recital in. Honor of Miss Julia A, Druley by Mrs. Marie : Hoover Ellis, Miss Jessie DeMotte j Case, Miss Helen Birch,” but the chief attraction of the occasion was Wot mentioned on the public program, as it was to he a real sur-1 prise for the gifted conscentions,' painstaking and efficient teacher from a host of friends and students of the past and present, who de- j lighted to honor and give tangible evidence of their admriation. To (Jo sJj contributions were made to purchase aril present, to her a beautiful baby grand Weber piano, and the instrument, which has been innocently selected by Miss Druly. was "present in person on the ros-' trum in Meharry Hall for presentation at the appointed time on the program. Dr. Francis J. McConnell made the presentation address, and was happily pleasing in so doing. An original poem by Mrs. Case, an . old time friend of Miss Druley was read, and at the cliwse of the program an informal reception was held, at which it was difficult to determine which were happiest — the friends assembled to do the occasion honor, or the honored teacher about whom centered the good will, kind wishes and heartfelt congratulations expressed on every hand. The ushers who served in seating the people at the recital were present pupils of Miss Druley, to-wlt: Misses Mary Tucker, Naomi Randel, Lillian Hays, Margaret Baker, Nelle Walker and Theo Raney. The program 'of the presentation and recital was as follows: l*ro4jrjim. Prelude, from Organ Prelude and Fugue in A minor Bach—Liszt Gavotte from Second Violin Sonata, Bach—Salnt-Saens Miss Birch. Concerto, in C T.\ . Beethoven. First Movement and Cadenza (At sedond piano—Miss Birch) Miss Case Kreislerlana (No 2) . .

The class of 1911 must be congratulated upon having had a most excellent commencement. Class day, class play and class speaker all were alike good, and the students of the university, the visiting alumni and citizens of Greencastle will long remember the passing of the Class of 1911, The commencement exercises proper began on Wednesday morning with the academic parade. The graduating class, the faculty, the trustees and the visitors and many of the alumr.i met at West College and marched from that building tt> East College and into Meharry hall. The march was worth seeing but few witnessed it since nearly every one was inside struggling for a place to sit or stand during the exercises. The invocation was given by Rev. F. L. Dimmitt. A solo was sung by Dean, McCutchan, in his usually faultless manner. The oration of the day was delivered by Dr. George George Vincent, president Of the University of Minnesota. Dr. Vincent has a reputation as a public speaker, and 'hat reputation was well sustained in the address here. Speaking with unusual rapidity, he held his audience almost motionless for an hour, while he poured forth, wit, humor, satire and a fundamental wisdom that w r as as effective as the effort was entertaining. Dr. Vincent took Jar his subject, the words “Selfishness." He said that man was by habit a phrase maker and convulsed his audience with suggestions of the place of phrase making in the professions of law and medicine, and in politics. He told humorously how he found by accidental reading the statement Of Lock that "Selfishness is the motive of all human action." He illustrated various forms of selfishness as motives, but ended by declaring that all action came from the self, the need being to expand the self till the egoistic became altruistic simply through expansion, till the ‘self” included also the community, the state, the nation and the world Then selfishness might be the motive for action and yet be good and result la good. The diplomas were presented by Dr. McConnell. The following advanced degrees were conferred: Divinitatis Doctores—Rev. J. A. Beatty, Rev. Layton C. Bentley, Rev. William E. McKenzie Literum Humanarum Doctor— Paxton Burris. Legum Doctores—Thomas Kate, Willis Vandevanter Graduates of the School of Music—iMinn.ie Baum Kurtz, Shirley O’Hair Rhea, Ollie Spencer, Hettie Thompson Williams, Zulah Thumma, Laura Frances Town, Alice Jessie Trout. During the exerctoes Miss Claudia Armstrong, of the graduating class fainted, and was carried from the rotim Miss Armstrong was burned painfully i n the slight fire at the Kappa house on Tuesday but with unusual courage Insisted on playing her part in "The County Chairman" that night. The excitement and the strain proved too much and ?he was overcome by the heat during the exercises Wednesday morning. She was revived in the president’s office and later taken to her room In the Kappa house

Four star Athletes, and all baseball stars of DePauw, Tuesday played their last game with the Methodist team. The men are: Pitcher "Hop” Overman, catcher Hardin, sedond baseman Crouch and right fielder Schlademan. These men ■were all graduated from DePauw Wednesday morning Tuesday afternoon, just before the varsity-alumni game, Johnson, who has been playing short stop this spring, was unanimously elected captain for next year.

This title grows out of the fact that the streets around the square are going to be improved. When the streets and walks are torn up— it will necessarily obstruct and hinder business. We shall therefore begin next Monday, June 19th—a Sale in every dept., at prices that will appeal and interest careful buyers. It will be a square sale because there will be such a uniform reduction in price that only on a few articles that have a price will there be the same or regular price. It will be an improvement sale as the low prices we will make will speedily reduce the stocks all over the store— It will enable us to accomplish early—the preparation of our store for early fall - No concern the size of ours can lay in stocks (as we must) in advance without some errors in buying— And we find it good policy to clean up these over-purchases at a small loss now than to carry them over indefinitely - and finally sell at a greater money loss.

And last but not least—

This will be an economical sale to you--It will enable you to purchase at a good money saving —at a reduced price-many items of wearing apparel and house furnishings for which you would ordinarily pay tne regular price.

And the Square Improvement Sale— It will continue as long as we have a dollar’s worth of merchandise that ought to be sold.

And Finally— Our statements heretofore have proven to be true and youll not have to discount these as you will be enabled to buy desirable new style merchandise at a good money saving to you.
