St.  Luke  and  the  Epiphany,  the  Rev.  David  M.  Steele  delivering 
an  unusually  inspiring  sermon.  On  Monday  evening  the  Faculty 
gave  their  annual  banquet  to  the  graduating  class  in  the  College 
Auditorium.  This  is  always  a  very  interesting  occasion,  in  that  it 
brings  together  the  Faculty  and  members  of  the  graduating  class  in 
a  very  close  relation,  enabling  them  to  discuss  not  only  their 
experiences  but  some  of  the  larger  questions  of  life. 
Tuesday  was  Alumni  Day,  the  Association  holding  its  annual 
meeting  in  the  afternoon,  and  in  the  evening  giving  a  reception  to 
the  members  of  the  graduating  class,  in  addition  to  the  awards  of 
the  alumni  prizes  and  a  very  excellent  musical  program.  Prof. 
Henry  Kraemer  gave  an  address,  in  which  he  read  the  class  oration 
which  he  had  delivered  twenty-five  years  ago,  at  the  time  of  his 
graduation  from  this  College.  The  annual  alumni  banquet,  which 
was  held  at  the  Hotel  Walton  on  Wednesday  evening,  was  very 
largely  attended  and  was  characterized  by  magnificent  alumni  and 
college  spirit.  The  responses  by  the  various  representatives  of  the 
classes  ending  in  4's  and  9's  showed  that  the  movement  to  mark 
the  centennial  of  the  College  and  raise  $500,000  for  new  site,  new 
buildings,  and  additional  equipment  would  receive  the  hearty 
cooperation  of  the  alumni. 
The  commencement  on  Thursday  evening  at  the  Academy  of 
Music  marked  the  climax  of  the  week's  celebration.  The  fea- 
ture of  the  evening  was  the  presence  of  the  Governor  of  Penn- 
sylvania, Hon.  John  K.  Tener,  who  delivered  a  brief  but  very 
appropriate  address'to  the  members  of  the  graduating  class  and  their 
friends  assembled.  The  opening  prayer  was  made  by  Rev.  W.  Quay 
Rosselle,  of  Philadelphia,  after  which  the  degrees  were  conferred 
by  President  Howard  B.  French. 
The  title  of  Master  in  Pharmacy  (Ph.M.) —  In  Course — was  con- 
ferred on  Professor  Edwin  L.  Newcomb,  P.D.,  of  the  University  of 
Minnesota.
