In  his  address, Mr.  Hurd  reviewed 
the  joys  and vicissitudes  of  the  class, 
its relations  with  the College  and  its 
hopes  for  the  future.  Commence

looked-for  event  that  breaks  up the 
class  into  individuals  that  must  go 
out  into  a  school  where  the  lessons 
must  be  learned

old  school-master,  Experience;  "this 
week  a  senior  in  College,  next  a 
freshman  in  the  world;  in the past 
working  in  the  interests  of  each 
other,  in the future  every  man  strug 
gling  in  the  school  of  life  against 
jthers for supremacy."  After  a  word 
of  thanks  to the faculty,  he  said  to 
his  class-mates: 
"Beyond  the  edu 
cation  which  we  have  received  we 
will  be valued  and  honored  in  the 
world  for  our  honesty,  uprightness 
of  character,  virtue,  and  moral  in 
tegrity." 

President's  Reception. 

T he  reception  given  last  Thurs 
day  evening  at the President's  house 
was  an  unusually  pleasant  affair. 
President  Snyder  and  wife,  assisted 
by  H o n. T.  F.  Marston  and  wife, 
Dean  Keller  and Secretary  Bird and 
wife,  received  the guests  in the east 
parlors.  T he west  parlors  were  pre 
sided  over  by  Mesdames  Vedder, 
Smith,  Mifflin  and  Landon,  and  the 
ladies'  aid society  of the First  Pres 
byterian  church  of  Lansing  served 
very  dainty  refreshments  to a  large 
gathering  of  students,  members  of 
the  Faculty,  and  guests 
from 
Lansing.  A  number  of  Alumni 
and  old  students  were  present  and 
received  a  cordial  welcome. 

Commencement  D a y. 

T he  graduating  exercises  for the 
Class  of '99  could  not  have  been 
held  under  more  favorable  circum 
stances.  Nature  is  especially  beau 
tiful  at  this  season,  and this  particu 
lar  Friday  morning  presented  a clear 
blue  sky  and  an  atmosphere  purified 
and  cooled  by the recent  rain.  So 
M.  A. C.'s last  graduating  class  for 
the  nineteenth  century  and  their 
many  friends  were  able  to enjoy the 
day  of  all days  to the  college  student. 
After  a selection  by the band and 
prayer  by R e v.  E.  B." Allen,  a  vocal 
quartette, " T he  T o l l ,"  was  rendered 

by  Misses  Newell  and  P a r k er  and 
Messrs.  Hayes  and Gingrich.  This 
was followed  by the  senior  addresses, 
of  which  we give  synopsis in  another 
column,  and  a  piano  solo  by M r s. 
Marshall.  T h en  came  an  excellent 
address on " T he  L aw  of  Equipoise" 
by  President  Draper  of  Illinois  Uni 
versity.  We  regret  that  space  will 
not  allow  us  to  give  all of  this ad 
dress,  but feel  sure  that  our readers 
will  be interested  in the  synopsis  to 
be  found  on page  2.  T he last  thing 
before  President  Snyder's  address 
to  the graduating  class was the pres 
entation  b y. R e v.  C.  F.  Swift  of 
awards  to  the  successful  orator and 
debater  in the contest  of  J u ne  9, to 
Mr.  Price  and  M r. Lapham  each  a 
set  of  books  consisting  of  the  Cen 
tury  Atlas  and  the  Century  Cyclo 
pedia  of  Names.  T he  President's 
address  was full  of  good  things  for 
the  graduates  to remember,  express--
ing  the  most  sincere  interest  in the 
future  welfare  of  all  and the  hope 
that  each  might  gain  true  success 
for  himself  and reflect  honor  upon 
the  College. 

Meeting  of  the  Board. 

A  meeting  of the Board  at  which 
all  members  but the Governor  were 
present,  was  held  at  the  College 
last  week. 

T he  action  of  the  legislature  in 
in  the 
establishing  a  sub-station 
Northern  Peninsula  was  considered 
and  the  secretary  was instructed  to 
notify 
that  the 
station  would  be  located  within  the 
time  stipulated  by the bill. 

interested  parties 

A  vote  of  thanks  was extended  to 

M r.  William  Fuller,  of  Grand  R a p 
ids,  for a  valuable  donation  of physi 
ological  apparatus. 

It  was decided  to begin  at  once  to 
replace  the old steam  pipes  in  Wil 
liams  and  Wells  Halls. 

A 

reorganization  of  the  experi 
ment  station,  farm  department  and 
horticultural  department  was made, 
to  take  effect  July  1.  This  action 
makes  Prof.  Smith  director  of  the 
experiment

short  courses,  superintendent  of  in

and  relieves  K. L. Butterfield  of  all 
duties  in  connection  with  the  Col

It  also  makes  Prof.  H.  W. 
Mumford  professor  of  agriculture

and 
T he  resignation  of  H.  P.  Gladden 
as  assistant  professor  of  horticulture 
was  accepted  and Prof.  U. P.  Hed

we  congratulate  M r. W a r r en  upon

SYNOPSIS  OF  T HE COMMENCEMENT  ADDRESS 
BY  P R E S I D E NT  A.  S.  DRAPER,  OF T HE 

UNIVERSITY  OF 

I L L I N O I S. 

F r om  college'halls  you  turn  your 
faces  to  a  busy  world,  a  world 
throbbing  with  energy  and  spirit, 
in  which  the pleasures  are innumer 
able  and the  contentions  hard, and 
in  which  the  balanced  men and 
women  gather  the 
fruits. 
You  wonder  what  it  contains  for 
you. 

largest 

T he  world  sets  up different  stand 
ards  of  success,  but  by no  one of 
them  will  you j succeed 
in  equal 
measure.  We may  safely  say,  from 
the  world's  experience,  that  some of 
you  will  exert  a  greater 
influence 
share  of  the 
and  gain  a  richer 
world's  esteem 
than  others.  We 
know 
that  by  every  standard  of 
right  living  some  of  you will  make 
more  of  life  for yourselves  and  for 
all  about  you  than  others  will, but 
we  also  know  that  no  one  can  yet 
tell  which  of  your  number  they  will 
be. 

the  world 

God  has  created 

in 
equipoise,  and that  life  will  become 
the  richest,  will  reach  'the  farthest 
and  accomplish 
the  most,  which 
obeys  the laws of the Almighty and 
stands  in  harmonious  relations  with 
the  universal  plan.  T he  sun  and 
the  planets  and  their  moons,  the 
star-suns  of  other  systems,  all  bal 
ance  one another  in  eternal  and  in 
finite  space.  A nd  as  in  illimitable 
distance  and  with  other  worlds, so 
with  the  globe  on  which  we live. 
T he  days  and  the  seasons  alternate 
steadily.  Temperature  and precipi 
tation  average  alike.  T he  tides 
rise  and fall.  T he  rivers  run to  the 
sea  but  "unto  the  place  from  whence 
the  rivers  come 
thither  they  return 
again." 
" T he  wind  whirleth  about 
continually  and the  wind  returneth 
to  his  circuits." 
again  according 
T he  soils  are  decaying  as  well  as 
producing.  T he  paths  of  nature 
run  into  themselves  again.  Matter 
moves  in cycles  and  under  the  law 
of  equipoise. 

A nd 

the  great  movements  of 
matter,  the  great  periodic  forces of 
nature,  seem  to bear  strong  relations 
with  the greatest  phenomena  in life. 
T he  turning  of  the  earth  upon  its 
axis,  the circuits  of  the  earth  about 
the  sun and of  the  moon  about the 
earth,  seem  to fix the  periodicity of 
the  most  vital  changes  in  the  world's 
life. 

And  as  with  matter  and  with 
motion  and  with 
life,  so  with 
thought.  T he  history  of  our  race, 
which  has  been  made  and  written 
by  the  world's  thought,  is  but the 
record  of  affairs  moving  in  great 
cycles  of  time.  There  has been  an 
ebb  and  flow  in  the  great  tide  of 
human  thought.  Civilizations  have 
come  and  gone.  Governments  have 
arisen  and  perished.  Marked  ad 
vances  in knowledge  and skill  have 
been  followed  by  marked  depres 
sions.  Great  waves  of  human  sym 
pathy  and  great  outbursts  of  human 
passion  have  alternated.  Peace and 
war  have  followed  each  other. 
T he  world  is  at  peace 

if  the 
nations  are  in equipoise.  W h en  the 
white  squadron  is  manoeuvring  for 
holiday  show,  the merchantmen are 
giving  reward  to  thrift,  and  plenty 
to  millions,  by  equalizing  the  dis 
tribution  of  the  products  of  the 
world.  W h en  the  armies  are  idle 
the  arts  and  sciences  are  promoting 
the  higher,  physical  and intellectual 
life of Christendom.  But  the  periodi

But 

there  is  something  stupen 
dously  grand  and  awfully  solemn 
about  this  unceasing,  onward,  bal 
anced,  periodic,  rythmic  motion  of 
everything  in matter  and  every en 
ergy  of  life.  We are fools  if  we do 
not  see  that  it is  all  under  the  con 
trol  of a power  above  and outside  of 
ourselves,  and  all  pursuant  to  the 
dictates  of  an  universal  law.  If it 
is  grand  and  solemn  when  we see 
that  all  created  things  are obedient 
to  a  law  that  is broader  and higher 
than  the  universe,  it  is still  more so 
to  realize  that  we should  face  chaos 
and  abandon  hope  in the absence of 
such  law. 
In the very  fact  that the 
routine  is unceasing  and progressive 
we  find  satisfaction  and  inspiration. 
It  opens  to our weak  vision  the  un 
certain  road  of  human  progress. 
It 
gives  confidence  in a  higher  destiny 
and  strengthens  the purpose  to  train 
for  it. 

If  all matter  and all  energy, and 
all 
thought,  are  subject  to  God's 
omniscient  law of  equipose  and  ad 
vancement,  it is certain  that  a  single 
being  cannot  hope  to  be  successful, 
even  in the small  things  of  this  life, 
and  disregard  it. 

Individuals  w ho  start  from  the 
same  point,  with  even  opportunities 
and  purposes  equally  correct,  come 
out  at  very  different  ends.  F ew 
mark  out  a  precise  roadway  in  life 
and  no  one  precisely 
follows  the 
road  which  his mind  may have  out 
lined.  There  are  elements  in  our 
selves  which  we  do not know and 
cannot  estimate,  and  time  will  find 
us  in  environing  conditions  which 
time  alone  can  reveal.  Plans  will 
miscarry  and expectations  be  disap 
pointed.  At no time  in life  can we 
decide  with  entire  confidence  what 
is  most  desirable  in  the  future. 
It 
is  said 
that  in  early  life  General 
Grant  cherished  the hope  of  becom 
ing  a physician,and  always  regretted 

realized. 
that  the  hope  was  not 
fact  is,  we  cannot  see  and 
T he 
we  do  not  know  about 
things  in 
advance  of  us.  Failure  to  accom 
plish  an undertaking  has more  than 
once  opened  the w ay for  something 
of  vastly  more  importance.  Many 
lives  are  barren  of  results  because 
many  men  insist  upon  predicating 
present  action  upon  events  which 
are  d  long  way in  the  future  and 
which 
they  cannot  foresee.  T h ey 
are  so cautious,  or so  cowardly,  that 
they  accomplish  nothing.  We are 
to  make  the best  plans  we can,  seek 
to  make  every  cycle  of  our lives an 
advance  upon  the last  one,  and take 
with  composure  whatever  may  come 
to us.

tween  seeing  and aiming  and doing. 
Some  spend 
lives  in  g a p i n g; 
others  aim high  but seldom  mutilate 
the 
target;  still  others  are  always 
doing  without  looking  or  aiming, 
and  of  course  they  are always  blun 
dering.  To  me  the  most 
trying 
ones  of all are those  who  mean  well 
and  do ill continually,  as some  good 
people  seem  prone  to  do.  Some 
men  deliberate  so wisely  and  so long 
that  they  never  get  to the  point of 
exercising 
their  energies,  and the 
powers  which  make  for  advance 
ment  shrink  to the vanishing  point 
lack  of  use.  Some  look  wise 
for 
and  say little,  and  though  they  are 
dreadfully 
trying  at  times  it  must 
be  confessed  that  others  would  fare 
better  and be less  trying  by  follow 
ing  their  example.  T he  life  • that 
accomplishes  things  is  the one that 
has 
ideals,  sees  with  what  eyes  it 
has,  exercises  the  judgment  it  pos 
sesses  within 
time 
the 
which  the occasion  allows,  and  then 
plunges  into  action.  A nd  the  life 
that  accomplishes  the  most 
things 
and  the  best  things  is the  one that 
has  the  noblest  ideals,  is  trained  to 
the  greatest  acuteness  of  vision,  is 
capable  of  the most  rational  reason 
ing,  has  the  greatest  courage  and 
force  of  execution,  and  above  all  is 
able  to keep  these  high  endowments 
in  equilibrium.

T h e re  is  work  of  some  sort  for

If  one has not  ad

W h at  I  am  saying  is  that  the  w ay

that  the  way  to  be  sure  of  being
