ing which has been manifested, the burning words of elo
quence so abundantly dealt out by many earnest speakers,
the large number ot graduates of tlie college recounting
and turning over anew the memories of the alma mater, all
convince once again that the A. and M. College has gained a.
great name among the people of the country and that she is
being recognized and given the credit which she deserves.
Those who graduate this year are made to enjo3 r more in
tensely the diplomas they receive bv these manifestations.
