One by one, eight chosen seniors marched forth and spoke a message live and earnest. Certain worthy friends and graduates of Knox stepped forward to receive honorary degrees. President lN1cClelland read the names of those students in college to whom honors and prizes had been awarded. The benediction was given and the service was closed.
