S. KANN, SONS & €0., 8th and Market Space. THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, JUNE 2 aE ov Te: , 1898-14 PAGES. AN IMPOSING EVENT Seventy-Seventh Commencement of the Columbian University. CONVENTION HALL WAS CROWDED An Eloquent Oration Delivered by Representative Dolliver. CONFERRING THE DEGREES ——_—+—__—_ It needed but a glance into Convention Hall last night to carry ecenviction into the most opaque intelligence that the Co- lumbian University holds an exalted place in the esteem of the people of the national capital. The occasion was the seventy- seventh commencement of the famous and venerabl® institution, and the vast audi- torium was crowded as it has seldom been before. Once or twice during the Moody meetings several years ago its walls may have inclosed a greater number of people, but the 6,000 they held last night were an ideal representatioa of the very best the capital city contains. Stupendous in size, the audience was equally as significant in character. = From a picturesque standpoint {ft was unrivaled. The rare and beautiful flowers which were profusely banked in scores of offerings before the platform were not brighter or more variegated in their colors and hues than the human parterres that stretched down toward them from the very entrance to the hall. Every woman ap- parentiy had donned her daintiest draperies and her best hat, and when the florid style now prevalent is considered in this connec- tion, the scene may be well imagined by those not fortunate enough to view it. It was a genial, happy, expectant multitude, too, with nothing of the perfunctory about it. Every component in it had been at- tracted by especial interest in somebody or something connected with the exercises of the evening, and in this direction the popu- larity of Columbian was proved in a most significant manner. The Decorations. The decorations, tasteful and artistic, were almost overshadowed by the brilliancy of the gathering. Above the platform at the front of the stage, whereon the partici- pants in the exercises were assembled, hung an immense floral badge of the ‘var- sity in blue and yellow, fringed with aspar- agus vines and resting against two large American flags. An electric-lghted yellow “C" gleamed from the blue, and a corre- spondingly brilliant red “U" from the yel- low field of the badge. From the center of the vast arched ceiling streamers of naval signal flags ran to each corner of the hall and on either side of the stage were ban- ners bearing the insignia of the Greek letter soci Along the center of the arch there twinkled a number of are lights, while the red, white and blue Incandescents strung down the girders added effectively to the picture. Crowd Patiently Waited. The exercises, which were to have com- menced at 8 o'clock, were unavoidably de- layed for an hour, but the vast assemblage Was extremely good natured and passed the time in pleasant chat and in the enjoy- ment of the scene. Musical selections were rendered by the National Guard Band, and when the strains of Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes” becan, the audience stood up to give welcome to the incoming procession of the chief actors in the events of the evening. It was an impressive scene, as the cap and gowned graduates, led by the repre- sentalives of the gentle sex among them, marched down the main aisle two by two. They moved to music and to the applause of thousands of hands as well. When th head of the procession reached ‘the lower end of the hall the couples separated and drew up in a line on either side of the aisle, and through the passageway thus formed da host of the learned men who ade themseives so important a>part of the success and progress of Columbian. President Whitman, capped and gowned, led the line with Representative Jonathan P. Dolliver, the orator of the commence- ment. Foilewing came Rey. Dr. Semuel H. Greene, vice president of the university, and Rev. Dr. Charles A. Stakely, the com: Mencement chaplain, and in turn followed the board of trustees of the university, the official guests, the deans of the various faculties and the faculties. Then the two long lines of black in ine main aisle merged inte one and marched to the stage, where they were to receive the proofs of their intellectual attainments, the coveted re- wards for years of close and assiduous study and research. ‘The Opening Exercises. President Whitman's commanding figure advanced to the front of the platform and was greeted with applause. He thanked the audience for the patience with which it had waited through the unavoidable de- lay and requested it to stand and sing “Praise God, From Whom All Blessings Flow," and to remain standing while Dr. Stakely offered prayer. The words of the solemn hymn were voiced by the vast as- semblage, and with bowed heads it listen- ed to the feeling prayer which Dr. Stakely offered to the Omnipotent, pleading for blessings upon the university and its fu- ture; upon those it had sent forth into the battle of life and those who were to follow. Representative Dolliver’s Address. There was music by the band and Presi- d:nt Whitman introduced Representative Dolliver as the orator, and his theme, “The Nation of America.” Mz. Dolliver express- ed his pleasure at thw privilege of speaking upon such an oovasion, and congratulated the university upon the incrzasing recogni- tion 1, wag receiving throughout the world as tHe ally and patron of learning and the Moeral arts. He congratulated also the young women and the young men who, he were about to recsive diplomas that would be passports to intellectual celebrity everywhere in the United States. He said if he had been at liberty to szlect a topic he would have chosen one more directly bearing upen the subject of education. His theme, however, had been chos+n for him, and he would endeavor to tell something about the foundations of our national in- stitutions; how they were laid; the vicis- situdes to which they had Leen subjected, and the outlook for the structure reared upon them. ‘Too little attention, he declared, is paid ia schools and by educators to the real his- tory of the revolutionary pariad. The tndi- Vidualizirg of a few of the mea of that period had cut off the vision of its realities. There was a preponderance of myths, and, in some quarters, Washington had been made to look almost iik3 a graven image, and only Ethan Allen and Israel Putnam were entities. The history of a country is the greatest of all studies, but in preparing the histories of our country a few states- men, a few soldi2rs, a few leaders hud been exaggerated int> demi-gods, and whole populations counted for nothing in the mas. querades of kings and potentates, Sugwested Models, He wished that some one would do for America what Macauley had done for Eng- lend and Carlyle for Scotland; that the revolutionary period might be treated in- telligently; its home life described and the beginnings of our republic thus traced and perpetuated. “Around frugal tables,” he exclaimed, “where were gathered the humble and earnest, bathed in the true spirit of faith in God, were built the foundations that have made this country the permanent home of freedom.” Mr. Dolliver deseribed a visit he made to the State Department, and the feelings in- spired by the sight of the original draft cf the Declaration of Independence. Apotheo- sizing Jefferson In eloquent terms, he made ticn of Independence,” he said, “remains clear and distinct and legible. Every sig- lature to the immortal document has dis- appeared. Even where .John Hancock scrawled his name in great letters across the page, so that all the monarchies of tha earth could see it, there is no sign of the signature. I thought that there was a spe- cial Providence in that obliteration of in- d:viduals,sand the perpetuation of the pre- cicus sentences ives, to show that the real origin of the declaration was in General Fitzhugh Lee Personal Impressions of Spanish Rule in Cuba The condition of the people; reminiscences of Weyler and Blanco; his views on the government of Cuba and the events leading up to the war.

Politicians were try- ing- to answer elemental and voleanic ques- tions with the words of a forgotten vocabu- lary. A heroic age was introduced and our ideal heroes, Lincoln’ and his advisors, Grant and his soldiers and the great army of the republic redeemed the country for all time. There was now, he said, only one question of politics in the world, and that was en the equal chances for men and women to make their way in the world, and a universat conclusion would surely be ob- tained. The worl? so long the field of strug- gles would throw off th2 authority of kings and emperors, and the only enduring royal- ty would be bright manhood. In conclusion Mr. Dolliver delivered a magnificent apotheosis of American man- hood, ond there was a tremendous outburst when he closed, pieturing Americans “waiting the orders of William McKinley to march with Fitzhugh Lee and old Joe Wheeler in the cause of Mberty; to nght and to die, if ne be, under the flag of a reunited country. Sang Star Spangled Banner. When the applause had subsided Presi- dent Whitman requested the audience to stand and sing “The Star Spangied Ban- ner.” The great crowd joined in the grand national hymn with great feryor, and at its corclusion the deans of the respective faculties announced the names of the can- didates for degrees, and the degrees were conferred by President Whitman. Recipients of Degrees. Those who were honored with these tes- timonials to their mental accomplishments were as follows: Bachelor of arts—Elise Bradford, Reed Paige Clark, Thateber Clark, Mary Squire Hinman, G.

Washington had beém made co) mander-in-chief of the afmieg; Bos t been evacuated; Ethan Allen'and his brave Green mountain boys hat? accomplished un- dying fame. It was not a declaraiion of war, for war was already earnest and aw- ful. It was the fulfillmént of the solemn purpose that had for years°been seeking expression in New England nd_Virgini The colonies were 150 ;years old. They were English in name and origin, bui there was no deep-seated attachment for th» mother country, Americanism was already rooted in every heart. It would have hard- ly been possible for aeperson to love a country 3,000 miles away because his great- grandfather had been born there. Defense of the Colonies. The speaker recited tn an Interesting way the political accompaniments in England to the struggle of the colonies, and described how the greatest of English statesmen, Burke and Chatham, defended th> rights of the colonies. He called attention to the re- cent statements of Joseph Chamberlain that England had lost her American colonies by rezson of blund2rs, and of the Duke of De- vonshire, that if a wise colonial policy had been followed Engiand would have had them yet. With fine effect he dismissed these declarations as erroneous, and was applauded when he said that even on spec- tacular oceasions England found it difficult to give a picture of imperial unity, and de- ciared that if she treated her colonies to- day as dependencies instead of independent attribut2s she would soon be an fsolated isl- and. Returning to the Declaration, Mr. Dolliver said the independence of the United States was very far under way before it was pro- claimed. “The colonies had instructad their repre- sentatives in the Continental Congress to press the subject to settlement. It had been considered in all its phases, and,” he con: tinued, with grim bumor, “it had been dis- cussed under parliamentary rules that have disappeared everywhere else in the wor except in the Senate of th? United States. ‘The country was already in war and con- fronted with alarming problems.’ The Con- tinental Congress did nothing for the aimies in the field; there wer? all sorts of schemes in progress to bring the war to a close by compromise or absolute surrender.

He was more than a statesman; he was more than a soldier. He was an inspired patriot who had al- ready seen with prophetic vision the future of America. When his army disintegrated he raised another one; he would fight or he would retreat, and he was absolutely without fear. He declared that if he were deserted he would take his little band of devoted patriots to the mountains of Au- gusta county, Va., and fight the war for freedom as long as life lasted. If Wash- ington had given up or compromised the cause would have been put back fifty years. His glorious personality lifted the strug- gling revolution above everything, and tsade {t an {mmutable expression in the course of human events.” The history of that period, declared Mr. Dolliver, should be mage a,large part of Bdpeathra should give literature: Harry Farmer.
