Miss Sara O'Farrell was beautiful, sweet and lovable in the charming role of Dorothy. Her part was well portrayed and added greatly to the charm of the play. Miss Mae Smith was splendid as Mrs. Fuller. She showed not only exceptional talent, but a fine know ledge of stage technique and details of acting. Mr. Temple was well taken by Mr. Nicolson, and the clever work done by him was greatly appreciated by the audience. Mr. Lynch played Fuller—the part of a “professional'' liar—and the extremely humorous lines and busi ness of this part, one of the best in the play, were well brought out and presented by Mr. Lynch. Mr. Meyer was great as Wigson. His part was one of excellent possi bilities, and Mr. Meyer made the most of all of them. John Brown, while rather a small part, stood out distinctly because of Mr. Howard's good work. He played it with Just enough effrontery and foolishness to make It amusing, but not enough to disgust. The distinc tion was hard to draw, but Mr. How ard did so excellently. Perhaps there has never been a Commencement at which so many of the Alumni have been present. They ; are here tills year In huge numbers, and their presence speaks much. It | means that there Is an awakening of ! thi' Alumni of the old Instlltutinn which cannot hut augur well fur the I future. Two classes are holding reunions, 07, and '<>2. Both are represented by a largo proportion of the classes, and thdy are enjoying a most con genial renewal of college ties and friendships. Both have held ban quets at the Georgian, at which the fellowship of the never-to-be-forgot ten college days was strongly in evi dence, and each member oi the r es lias been bound ■ anew to I Alma Mater. In the name of the students, Bed and Black welcomed them hack "home” again, and hopes thut their stay may be so pleasant that every Commencement tide may turn their thoughts and steps to Athens.

They spoke of the need of such a building and presented several convincing ar guments. They were well received by the Trustees, who expressed themselves as heartily In favor of such a build ing. and deslrtous of getting same. Mr. Jacobson was simply great aa Mrs. Brown, The paA Is one of the best comedy roles ever, and.Mr. Jacob son did full justice to It. Mr. Heed, as Capt. Sharpe, played a slight part with ease and a delight fully soldler-like manner. The play as a whole was splendid and reflects credit on the Club, Judge John C. Hart, of Union Point, delivered the Alumni Oration in Chapel Tuesday morning.
