COMMENCEMENT YISITOES. j MONG all the people who were present at Commence- ■ ■ ment this year, probably none more thoroughly appreciated the occasion than did those who came from afar, and after several years of absence, to enjoy a re-un ion. Fourteen of the girls who were in the dormitory in 1905- 1906, together with their former dean, are circulating a Round-Robin, and during the past year they have made plans to meet at the College during commencement week. Six of their number were detained at home through various causes, but the nine who came were greatly delighted with the success of their plan. In alphabetic order they are as follows : Laura B. Adams, who has a flourishing class of music at her home in Middlesex ; Genevieve R. Ball, '09, who is a successful teacher at Charlton, Massachusetts ; Fannie L. Bell, '08, teacher of science and mathematics at Conajoharie, New York ; Mrs. Durfee, Dean of Women at Hope College, Michigan ; Agnes Feenstra, who has a pos- ition with the General Electric Company of Buffalo ; Janet Gardner, who will return to her teaching in Jefferson County ; Lura Mack, a Senior in Syracuse University; Mary Stephens, who is teaching at her home in South Apalachin, and Inez Wilder, of Lycoming, New York, who this year received her diploma from Keuka College, conferring the degree of Bach- elor of Arts.

THE MORAL RECALL. r PHE prominence which the Recall, as a political device, has assumed in recent years renders it highly improb- able that anyone is ignorant of the principle which it in- volves. The antipathy of many people to the recall is not based upon a disbelief in the justice or efficacy of this instru- ment, but rather in the method of its application. A super- ficial observation of life shows that it is one of the most com- mon phenomona with which we are conversant. Throughout the range of human activity, in art, business, industry and the professions, a certain standard of excellence is essential to success. Those who meet the requirement inevitably suc- ceed; those who fall below the standard are recalled. It is the operation of the old law that to him that hath shall be given; to him that hath not shall be taken away that which eineth to have. Because of Christian training and beliefs the majority of people instinctively feel that morality is of supreme import- ance and infinite worth, and that the failure to achieve the moral life constitutes an irreparable loss. In this address we are to brace this fundamental truth from the viewpoint gained [from a knowledge of the evolutionary process in so doing wetrace tin; Will of an Infinite Creator. Nature is a vast library, id which we read the writing of God. It is a
