I only ask a will resigned O Father, to thine own.

In vain I task my aching brain, In vain the Sage's thoughts I ;

I only feel how weak I am,

And longs for .light whereby I And like a weary child woid<l come O Father, unto thee. One of the most amusing occurrences in connection with this Com ncncement is the blunder of a boston reporter, whose classical L-duc;ition ippears to have been neglected. Thh is the same icpurter wlio called the ilumu.-L' of Welleslev a/w/wn/ and who waxed poetic over the "litlk- willow tand in the forefrroimd ofthe platform, upon which rested tlie plle.'i of irccious degrees, tied with dark blue ribbons which were to be the reward )f the 'sweet girl graduate,'" the same reporter who devoted scarcely a jozen lines to the subject-matter of Prof. Schurman's address, but yet found ipace for the valuable comment:

"Professor Schurman's rather young and bright lace attracted the young ladies from the start, and although the matter of the address, which was upon "The Centenary Movement of Thought," promised to be decidedly technical, intensely scholarly and rather dry, yet they listened attentively, " in the latter stiiges of the philosophical lecture, broke into frequent leartfelt applause."

'89 's Tricycle. The late Senior class has had a handsome present in the last few days. They are indebted for a magnilicent three hundred dollar tandem tricycle to the generosity of a recent visitor lo the College, Col. Pope, well-known throughout the country by his prominent connection with the Columbia bicycle. Thi.s tricycle is to become the property of each succeeding Senior class ill turn— a tandem, thus, in more senses than one. Next year the fifth year representatives of '89 will share its use with '90, the Seniors in power. AH the classes therefore owe a debt of thanks to Col. Pope, noi do they forget the kindness of Miss Hill in introducing him to the College
