GRADUATING EXERCISES
ON MONDAY MORNING
270 Young Ladies Will Be
Awarded Diplomas and
Certificates ...Largest Class
to Graduate.
Cc-mimon-cement at tv.o Georgia Nor
mal and Industrial College will begin
next Saturday and from all indications
the event tliiu, year will be filled with
greater interest than on any similur
occasion in former years.
There are 270 young ladies who
will graduate at the college this year.
The senior class is by far tlie largest
ever turned out by the institution and
for t'. is reason it is believed that the
attendance will exceed in number that
of any of tlie former annual events.
A feature of the commencement will
be tlio reception of the members of
the alumnae association Saturday
•evening on the lawn cf the old gov
ernor's mansion, now the home of
President and Mrs. M. .M. Parka,
V'lcltors will probably commence to
arrive in Milledgeville Friday even
ing to attend this beginning of the

tlran five or six hundred former stu
dents having graduated from the col
lege will be here before Saturday
evening.
Sunday morning. Dr. Russell Owen,
pastor of the First Baptist church,
of Maocn, will preach the baccalaure
ate sermon.- The services will he at
the Baptist eh- reh. Dr. Owen is one
of the best known ministers in Geor
gia and it is believed that scores will
be turned away from the church on
account of inadequate room for ac
commodating a largo congregation.
The graduating exercises will take
place Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
On account of the large number of
young ladies to be rewarded at this
time for their diligence and studies,
the college auditorium will not, in all
probability, take care of more than
fifty per cent of those seeking to wit
less tills ‘feature of the commence
ment program.
Monday afternoon exhibits of college
work will bo on display for the ob
servation of al! visitors. There will
be on display work of all departments
of tlie college, -w'.iieh will evidence
