Commencement Echoes.
The close of commencement ex
ercises last Tuesday ended the
24th year of Locust Grove Insti
tute. As usual, commencement
season was a gala occasion. Both
the school and the town were
crowded with visitors and every
thing and everyh dy wtre in hol
iday attire and mood. The most
prominent features of the exer
cises were the addresses to the
graduating class by Dr. G. L.
Yates of Macon; the patriotic play,
| Claim Allowed ; and the annual
debate between the literary so
cieties. The presentation by Dr.
Yates of the tiieine, “Transform
ing Knowledge into Life,” made a
profound impression upon those
who heard him. Patriotism and
loyalty was the theme of the play,
Claim Allowed, and the immense
audience showed its approval by
round after round of applause.
Possibly the occasion of greatest
interest and enthusiasm was the
debate between the Philomathean
and Philosophian Societies on the
question of the retention of the
Monroe Doctrine as a permanent
policy of the United States. The
decision went to the Philosophians
who championed the negative.
In addition to the delivery of
diplomas and certificates on Tues
day, the following medals and
prizes were announced:
Alumni Trophy, Philosophian
Society.
Champion Debate, Philosophian
Society.
Song and Yell Trophy, Philo
mathean Society.
