WESTMINSTER COLLEGE.
Fulton, Missouri.
Closed sixty year3 of history on June
tenth. Twenty young men were graduated.
The valedictorian was Ezequiel D.
Torres, a Cuban. Another Cuban witn
two others of the class graduated with
honor. Governor Hadley, expected to be
present to deliver the address, bat his
father was stricken with paralysis on tne
evening preceding and the Governor bad
to go to his bedside, a-resident A. Ross
Hill, of Missouri University, gave the
address. Two members of the class of
1856 were present, one of '58, and one
of '59. John A. McAfee, the founder of
Park College, was a raemuer of the class
of '59. But two members of the class
are living, both ministers, Rev. Thomas
('flllflhpr 0 II VPi irorl Qtul T? nir liont
Y. George. The roll of five year classes
was called and was responded to by the
members present standing for the greeting
of the trustees and faculty.
The degree of Doctor of Divinity was
conferred upon Rev. Chas. B. Boving, '01,
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church,
Hannibal; Rev. Walter H. Bradley, '86,
President of Blackburn College, Illinois;
and Rev. William Claggett, of Philadelphia.
Doctor of Laws was conferred
upon President A. Ross Hill, Columbia,
and Hon. Selden P. Spencer, St. Louis;
and Master of Arts upon Principal J.

The five years of Dr. Kerr's presidency
have brought steady, all-around advances.
A debt of $37,000 has been paid,
cash added to the endowment, and $100,000
subscribed, and income from students
has been doubled. Westminster, with
lier sixty years of hi3tory, protests in
unrisuan rairness against Denver and
Salt Lake, using her name. To say the
least, it is confusing and unnecessary
and therefore unfair.

The Nineteenth Annual Report of the
Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital of
New Orleans, covering the year 1908, is
a most interesting pamphlet of seventyfive
pages. 7,838 patients were treated,
an increase of 1,147 over the preceding
year, 3,960 of these were from New Or
leans, 1,964 from Louisiana, outside of
New Orleans, 1,216 from other States,
and 698 foreigners. The hospital is a
splendid charity, maintained by the finest
medical talent of the city and the
most liberal and philanthropic citizens.
It treats all patients free, and receives as
patients only those who are absolutely
unble to pay.
When Sir John Carr was in Glasgow,
in 1807, he was asked by the magistrates
what inscription he recommended
for the Nelson statue, then just erected.
Sir John recommended a short one:
"Glasgow to Nelson." "Just so," said
one of the bailies; "and, as the town
o' Nelson's close at hand, might we not
juist say, "Glasgow to Nelson, sax miles.'
an' so it might serve for a monument an'
a milestone too?"?Central Christian
