The commencement exercises of Asbury University began on Friday evening, June 17, with the anniversary of the ■ ■ Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity, one of the two lady fraternities located in this institution. The programme was excellent, presenting some of the most talented performers of the University. The fraternity has cause to pride itself upon the character and excellence of its membership. Tho Iota Chapter of this fraternity was established at Asbury in 1875, and since organization has kept well apace with the other chapters located here. The stage was beautifully decorated, displaying the elegant taxte of the ladies who superintended the arrangements. May the success of Kappa Kappa Gamma ever bo as complete as was the success of their entertainment
on Friday evening.
At 7'30 Saturday evening a large audience assembled to listen to the perform ance of the Philomathean literary society, i the only society afforded by Asbury for the literary advancement among the ladies. The exercises were of a high character and it would be difficult to say who excelled, so excellent were they all. The society has been under control of a faction during the year, but, as is usually the case, it does not seem to he the worse therefor. Miss Kate Hammond, of our own city, occupied the presidential chair with grace and dignity. On account of some difficulty among the members, which all will remember took place some two years ago, there were only two who received diplomas on this occasion, Misses Grace E. Hoyt and Minnie Lang-
don, both of this city.
Despite the heavy rain of the night previous and the lowering sky ol Sunday morning, a large audience—one of the largest ever assembled in Greencastle— gathered to hear the baccalaureate ser nton by Pres. Alexander Martin. The
completely tilled to listen to the declamations delivered upon the occasion of the Laura Dainty prize contest. The declant aliens were one and all excellent, and Miss Minnie Knight succeeded in carrying away the laurels in the shape of $25
in gold.
