♦tenth annual commencement of PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE, 



Thursday, September 19th, 1844. 



It was our intention to have noticed this interesting occasion at some 

 length in our first number, but want of room (one of the greatest diffi- 

 culties under which the Journal labors) prevented us. We can only say 

 now, that the exercises were of the most satisfactory character from be- 

 ginning to end. The address of Rev. T. F. Stockton, of Philadelphia, 

 was brilliant, that of Rev.THEOPHOLUs Storke, before the Alumni, most 

 effective, whilst the graduates showed that they had not sojourned so long 

 in the halls of their Alma Mater without becoming sons of whom she 

 has reason to be proud. The class consisted of the following members : 

 J. Baugher Bittinger, of Adams co., Pa.; Peter Anstcett, of Lycoming cc, 

 Fa.; Oscar F. Baugher, of Emmittsburg, Md.; Michael Diehl, of Green- 

 castle, Pa.; John M. MTarland, of Jeff, co., Va.; Beale M. Schmucker, 

 of Gettysburg, Pa.; John T. Morris, o{ Baltimore, Md.; Joseph P. Clark- 

 son, of Gettysburg, Pa.; G. A. JYixdorff, of Frederick, Md.; Henry J. 

 Fahnestock, of Gettysburg, Pa.; Thojnas W. Corbet, of Cambridge, Ohio; 

 Robert G. H. Clarkson, of Gettysburg, Pa. 



The degree of A. M. was conferred in course upon the class of 1841, 

 and the honorary degree of A. M. upon Rev. D. Miller, of New Jersey, 

 Rev. John TJlrich, of Petersburg, Pa., and Prof. Haldeman, of Marietta. 



The Rev. H. JY. Pohlman, of Albany, New York, received the de- 

 gree of D. D.

The LiNNiEAN Journal. The flattering reception with which the 

 first number of this Magazine has met will assure the Society that it did 

 not mistake in reference to the feelings with which the literary and sci- 

 entific public would receive such a publication. All that is now want- 

 ing is, that the members of the Association and the friends of the enter- 

 prise -gv^ncrally should continue their exertions to increase the number 

 of subscribers to one thousaiid, when, besides yielding a handsome prof- 

 it, the Journal may be greatly enlarged and improved by engravings, &.c. 

 which are almost indispensable to such a publication as this.
