vox COLLEGII college closing. The soloists were Misses O ' Hara, Bryce, lyanceley, Bulkley, Parrish, Stidston, Howe, Alcock, French and the Misses J. and Ida Sutherland. MivSS Bryce, in a separate vocal number, was vocifer- ously recalled for a repetition of her song. Miss Henderson was heard in a reading, The Flag of England, which she recited in finished style. In the evening, after prayer by Rev. Mr. Crossley and an organ solo, by Miss Swan, the diplomas were conferred and certificates presented to the num- ber of about sixty. A very interest- ing feature of the evening ' s proceed- ings not on the programme was the unveiling of a very handsome and life-like portrait in oil of Dr. Hare, executed by Miss McGilliVray, of the College Art Department, and its pre- sentation to the college by Dr. With- row, in a felicitous speech of congrat- ulation to Dr. Hare and to the col- lege on its magnificent record of over thirty years. The portrait and its original were received enthusiastical- ly by the students w ith musical hon- ors. The painting was accepted for the college by the chairman, Mr. R. C. Hamilton, President of the Board of Directors, after which Dr. Hare expressed his deep appreciation of the gift, speaking in glowing terms of the stall, which is now more united and efficient than ever before. The gradu- ates were eloquenTly addressed by Rev. N. H. McGillivray, the keynote of whose woYds was that the young women should go forth from the col- lege halls possessed of and inspired by a philanthropic faith, faith in their mission and their ability to help their fellows, the only life wor- thy of being aspired to. Live, and. help to live, would be a noble mot- to for them. Let them have a high ideal and aim, and whether they play upon the piano or that other as beau- tiful instrument, the cook-stove, let them put their soul in it, and give their best service to life ' s work.
