SECOND ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT OF THE MEDICAL DEPART- 

 MENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS CITY. 



A large and brilUant audience gathered at the Walnut Street M. E. Churchy 

 March 13th, on the occasion of the Commencement exercises of the University 

 of Kansas City. The platform was filled by a number of the most prominent 

 citizens, notably: Hon. T. B. Bullene, Rev. Dr. Mathews, Dr. J. W. Jackson, 

 chief surgeon of the Missouri Pacific Railroad; Judge H. P. White, Drs. A. Jam- 

 ieson, N. H. Chapman, E. R. Lewis, J. Miller, J. P. Jackson, F. B. Tiffany, 

 Willis P. King, J. M. Allen, Judge R. E. Cowan, Drs. A. P. Campbell, C. W. 

 Adams, J. R. Snell, H. T. Hereford, James M. Wood, G. W. Davis, W. M. 

 Lewis, L. A. Berger, O. Baldwin, and J. M. Wilson. 



The exercises began with an overture from Stradella, which was exceedingly 

 well rendered. This was followed by prayer by Rev. Dr. Mathews, at the con- 

 clusion of which the diplomas were presented by Mayor Bullene, who said that it 

 was expected that Governor Crittenden would honor the occasion and himself by 

 presenting these diplomas. It occurred to him that some were born great, and 

 some had greatness thrust upon them. This was his fate to-night. He believed 

 that it was the practice upon such occasions for the president to say something. 

 If this address was delegated to him it would be a custom more honored in the 

 breach than the observance, It was with pleasure that he could testify to the ex- 

 ceptionally severe test which the class had undergone, and to the exceptional 

 triumph that they had achieved. The diplomas were then presented. In 

 conclusion the mayor urged the young gentlemen to be worthy of Kansas City, 

 their country, their alma mater and themselves. 



The graduating class, whose names follow, then received the diplomas in the 

 order given :
