1 .SALUTATORY OPPORTUNITY My friends, I am glad to welcome you tonight. Our graduating exercises would be incomplete without your presence and our parting from the school would be sad without your good wishes. We feel that another guest is present at our assembly. He was not formally invited 'but his presence has been eagerly awaited by all of us. Our ears have been listening anxiously to hear him Knock, and our eyes have been gazing sharply at every stranger, lest we should see and fail to recognize him, for mnhose coming we so trust- ingly wait, and upon whom so much depends.

Perhaps many of you are familiar with. the UOPUI Of Edward Rowland Still, called Opportunity, which reads as follows: This I beheld, or dreamed it in a dreams- There spread a cloud of dust along a plaing And underneath the cloud, or in lt, raged A furious battle, and men yelled, and swords Shocked upon swords and shields.

He snapped and flung it from his and, And lowering crept away and left the field. Then came the king's son, wounded, sore'beStead, And weaponless, and saw the broken sword, Hllt buried in the dry and trodden sand,
