Commencement Week being fittingly started on the Sabbath, the next two days were to the visitors and college and townspeople a sort of Wesleyan Love Feast. Reunions were held from day to day, and the spirit of fellowship, so pronounced among all who have attended Wesleyan, was felt on every side. On Monday the members of the different classes were again united, many for the first time in years, and among the students the day was taken up with final examinations, black bogies which time out of mind have appeared at this season to haunt any who had applied themselves insufficiently during the college year. Tuesday afternoon a game of ball was played between the Purple and White nine and Monmouth College. The Monmouth team had beaten the locals early in the season, and it was expected that we would fall an easy prey to them. However, before a large crowd of students and alumni, Beal’s men triumphed over their Presbyterian rivals, 6 to 0. At eight o’clock that evening, the annual conservatory recital was held in the chapel before a large and appreciative audience. Wednesday was the busiest day about the campus. In the morning the meetings of the Alumni Association and the Board of Trustees were held in the college library and German chapel, respectively. During the afternoon, the campus was the scene of a beautiful event when the young ladies presented the Weaving of the Colors. This function closed with the letters “I. W. C.” ingeniously worked out in purple and white. After the Weaving of the Colors, Dr. Rommel gave an organ recital in the chapel and greatly pleased a large audience of alumni and friends with his exquisite music. This was especially appreciated, as many of the visitors had not as yet enjoyed the privilege of hearing the organ which had been installed during the year. Thursday was the last day of the school year, and the big event was the commencement exercises held in the chapel at ten-thirty. Dr. C. W. Stewart, of Garrett Biblical Institute, delivered the address, after which the services were closed by the presentation of diplomas and degrees by the President.
