made  a  brief  address  welcoming  the  visiting  alumni  to  the  city. 
The  leading  address  was  made  by  Dr.  Samuel  C.  Chew,  for  forty- 
three  years  a  member  of  the  faculty,  whose  father  was  also  on  the 
faculty  sixty-six  years  ago. 
On  Thursday  evening  the  "  Centennial  Class  "  gave  a  dinner  at 
the  New  Howard  House,  which  was  a  very  enjoyable  occasion.  Prof. 
Charles  Caspari,  Jr.,  acted  as  toastmaster  and  speeches  were  made 
by  a  number  of  the  members  of  the  graduating  class,  the  faculty 
and  several  of  the  invited  guests. 
The  events  of  Thursday  were  but  a  prelude  to  the  celebration  on 
Friday,  beginning  with  the  academic  ceremonies  in  the  morning 
and  ending  with  the  academic  banquet  at  night.  The  ceremonies 
of  the  commencement  were  both  elaborate  and  impressive,  being 
commemorative  of  the  history  of  the  University.  In  caps  and 
gowns  and  hoods  of  many  hues,  about  a  thousand  men,  including 
the  distinguished  representatives  of  the  leading  educational  institu- 
tions in  the  country,  the  leading  alumni  of  the  University  of  Mary- 
land and  the  237  graduates  were  present. 
The  only  college  of  pharmacy  which  sent  representatives  was  the 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  Prof.  Joseph  P.  Remington,  Dean 
of  the  Faculty,  and  Prof.  Henry  Kraemer,  being  the  official  dele- 
gates. 
President  Fell,  of  St.  John's  College,  called  the  gathering  to  order 
and  asked  Rev.  P.  C.  Gavan  to  deliver  the  prayer.  He  was  followed 
by  Cardinal  Gibbons,  who  led  the  audience  in  repeating  the  Lord's 
Prayer. 
Governor  Warfield  was  then  introduced  as  the  chairman  of  the 
proceedings.  After  expressing  his  regret  that  Mr.  Bernard  Carter, 
provost  of  the  university,  was  too  ill  to  be  present,  the  Governor 
explained  that  he  was  chancellor  of  the  university  by  virtue  of  his 
position  as  Governor  of  the  State. 
After  an  intermission,  during  which  there  were  musical  selections 
by  Itzel's  orchestra,  President  Francis  L.  Patton,  of  Princeton  Theo- 
logical Seminary,  was  introduced  and  spoke  in  part  as  follows: 
"  I  congratulate  this  university  on  its  one  hundred  years.  Dis- 
tinguished men  have  taught  in  your  chairs,  but  I  shall  not  mention 
names.  The  name  of  George  Washington  is  found  on  the  list  of 
matriculates  of  a  university  so  nearly  affiliated  with  this."  After 
speaking  of  the  distinguished  place  the  University  of  Maryland
