CLOSING EXERCISES
Of the Commencement of the G, N. &
I. College.
The closing exercises ot the G. N.
& I. C. mark another successful year
in the history ot the college, and the
crowds attending these exercises were
indicative of the high esteem and the
deep interest the people feel in this,
Georgia's pet institution for girls.
On Tuesday morning the dress
making department exhibited their
work and the many visitors were pro
fuse in expressions of praise for the
exquisite taste and beautiful needle
work in the different dresses displayed.
The public generally enjoyed the
Model School exhibit perhaps more
than the other exhibits. The chil
dren's work in I his department was
certainly artistic and carefully execut
ed, showing skill on the part of pupils
as well as teachers. One attractive
piece of work in Miss Mary P. Jones’
room was the fort at Manilla moulded
in day by the children. The dimen
sions were given them and they did
the work. The American fleet with
flying flags and cannon were all com
plete.
Another meritorious feature of the
Commencement was the splendid art
exhibit. Miss Hattie Ellis, who has
charge of this department, is one of the
best teachers in the state, as well as an
excellent artist. The work of the pupils
reflect much ability as well as individ
ual talent. Miss Juanita Bullard's
work from still lile and copy showed a
great deal of natural talent and elicited
much praise. The pictures of Miss
Birdie Bazemore are beautiful gems
of art. The China painting was the
prettiest ever seen in Milledgeville.
The display was a magnificent one,
and we believe that the G. N. & I.
College is abreast with any college in
the south in this department.
The musical at Atkinson Hall was
largely attended and the many beauti
ful musical gems were highly appreci
ated, and reflect much credit and
pains-taking on the teachers in this
department, Mrs. Lamar and Misses
Treanor, James and Zachary.

Tuesday evening was Junior night
and well did the Juniors entertain.
The program was interspersed with
sweet and.inspiring music making the
entertainment a delightful one.
Mr. Lawton B. Evans delivered an
interesting and forceful address to the
Literary Society.

The graduating, exercises took place
on Wednesday morning.
After a chorus by the school, prayer
by Rev. D. AY 7 . Brannen, essays were
read by four members of the graduat
ing class. These essays were all well
written and were delivered in a natural
and graceful manner.
Miss Mary Hines Jordan of this
city read the class prophecy and the
beautiful attention accorded her. waS
evincing proof ot its worth. It was
full of pith and wit from beginning to
end, and the futures of her classmates
were painted in glowing colors.
The Baccalaureate address by Pres.
Chappell was as usual a brilliant eft'ori,
full of eloquence, suggestiveness,
thought, good advice, and we believe the
best he has ever yet delivered. We
will give our readers the benefit oi it
in our next issue.

Another vacation lias come. For
another period ot’ three months the
doors of the Georgia Normal and In
dustrial college will be closed. Over
this little eitv oi colleges there is creep
ing a quiet drowsiness which as the
Iona summer days drag slowly by will
sink into soundest slumbers and rest
heavily on her people until September
shall again arouse them with the happy
voices of light-hearted maidens. Un
til the lengthening shadows of autumn,
harbingers of returning life and activ
ity, proclaim the opening of another
year of “trouble” nothing shall disturb
the Ions lethargy of old Milledgeville,
for verily, her glory hath departed. It
is a lonely scene presented by the pret
ty lawns so lately alive with rolicking
school girls, and in place o( their sweet
voices and merry laughter a strong si
lence now pervades the dormitories
and college and about these hallowed
buildings recently ringing with all the
noises ot gaiety and youth “all the air
a solemn stillness holds.’ -

Meeting of Trustees.
The board of trustees of the Georgia
Normal and Industrial college held an
important adjourned meeting in the
library at the state capitol in Atlanta
Friday morning. At the regular meet
ing. held in Milledgeville last week,
it was impossible to get the full hoard
together and the election of teachers
for the next term was postponed to the
sj eeinl meeting.
The lollowjng members of the board
were present at the meeting yester
day;
Governor W. Y. Atkinson,lion. Pat
Walsh, Hon. James M. DnPree, Hon.
li. M. Davis, Captain T. F. Nevvtll,
Hon. It. N. Lamar.
Absent—Hon. F. G. duBignon.
The most important business before
the board was the election ot the fa
culty tor the ensuing term. The work
was not entirely completed, but as far
as it went the old faculty was re-elect
ed. Another meeting will be held in
the course ot the next two weeks, at
which time the remaining mem tiers of
the faculty will be elected.
The result of the election was as fol
lows:
J. Harris Chappell, president; T. J.
Woolter, pedagogy: Allas M. A, Bacon,
tencher of English; MLs J. T. Clarke!

The election of persons to the follow-
jug positions was deferred pntil a fu
ture meeting:
T cucher of preparatory department,
assistant in model school, teacher of
vocal music, teacher of cooking, matron
at Atkinson Hall dormitory.
The meeting ot the board of trus-
tees was entirely harmonious through
out and the work ot electing the entire
faculty would have beeu completed but
for the fact that one ot the members
was called from the city.
