The prize of the college class association was awarded to 
Edward J. Shipsey, D.V.S. 
The valedictorian of the occasion was Albert J. Sheldon, 
D.V.S. 
Rev. Dr. R. Terry addressed the newly graduated veterina¬ 
rians, in an eloquent speech, full of valuable suggestions and 
appropriate allusions, fitly and impressively conveyed, and 
forming a most acceptable didactic and oratorical treat. 
The incidents of the evening were of the pleasantest kind. 
The stage was converted into a flowery parterre, and to the 
perfume of the flowers were added the beautiful harmonies 
of Cappa’s Seventh Regiment band, and smiling faces and 
congratulatory salutations gave brightness and pleasure to 
the scene. Even the March bluster, of which there has been 
overmuch, was tempered to a brief calm, and taking it for all 
in all, the graduates of the class of 1891-2 cannot but feel sat¬ 
isfied upon a review of the experiences of their last day of 
college life, and their enrollment in the ranks of the best 
friends of the horse and his companions in their service of 
man.
