Trustees,  then  stated  that  in  the  contest  for  the  Alumni  prize  it  occurred  that  the

general  proficiency. 
The  address,  on  behalf  of  the  faculty,  was  delivered  by  Prof.  E.  S.  Wayne,  and 
the  valedictory,  on  behalf  of  the  graduating  class,  by  Mr.  Wm.  Rendigs.

pleasant  feature  in  the  evening's  programme.  The  exercises  then  closed  with 
benediction  by  the  Rev.  Henry  D.  Moore.
