The exer- cises, aS usual, were held in the Gaston Memorial Hall. The place was prettily decorated for tife occasion. On-the wall facing the audience two immense American flags were gracefully draped, with the colors of the college for a center piece, forming an excellent background to the stage, where were seated the students of the graduating class and the invited guests. Long before the time set for the opening of the exercises people began flocking to the hall, and soon the seating capacity of the hall, both on the main floor and in the and comfortable, with perfect ven- gallery, was almost entirely taken up.

A few minutes before 10 o'clock the or- chestra of the Lafayette Square Opera use, somewhat augmentgd for the occa- sion, began the opening “selection from Faust.” Promptly at 10 o'clock the mem- bers of the graduating class, in gowns and caps, marched into the hall and took their seats at the north end of the platform. a co-relation of form, figure, color, sound and parts in harmony, as is pleasing to the eye and ear of the beholder. This is the material beauty of art, which, by appeal- ing to the senses, excites in the seul con- cealed behind them the inexpressible senti- ment of the beautiful.

He feels that a color is want- ed here, a chord there, a pillar in one part of the structure, a cornice in another; that there is an overloading with ornament here, a departure from simplicity there, and he changes into one harmonious whole the dis- cordant elements of -his creation. This is the lowest form of beauty, and as art is nothing more than an imitation of nature, yet it is most necessary, for nature itself is all harmonical, and the expression of her beauties must be of similar nature.

Far above and beyond the beauties of imagery is the beauty of thought. This weds the mind as beauty of expression the ear of the reader. The poet has lost the true spirit who sacrifices this to his read- er's mere entertainment, and gives us in his work a mere body where the spirit of life should be crimsoned and the beauty of truth emblazoned. The speaker stated that in France there is a school of writers who are deadly sin- ners against this last requisite of the beau- tiful. ‘Phese men, of whom Zola and Bour- get are types, claiming to be realists, dis- play only one side of human nature, and that the most disgusting. In closing, the speaker paid a high tribute to the works of Shakespeare. Degrees Conferred. The conferring of degrees came next in order. The names of the several candi- dates were read by Rev. Father Shandelle, S. J., and as each was called he received the honors at the hands of Mgr. Martinelli. The degrees conferred were as follows: Doctor of laws (honorary)—Judge C.

And among; the, many thoughts which present themselyes there comes W. Carrel Diamond. response of the world’s greatest theologian, the speaker stated, has been demonstrated to be truthful many times si then today,” said he, in life's jour ney and endeavor to analyze one of these problems, which have been discussed by Philosophers in all times and which have been greatly revived in tne present cen- tury. : “If we turn to the definition of the beau- tiful, following the teachings of the great- est thinkers of the world, pagan and Chris- tian, down to the time previous to the ma- terialistic or dreamy views of the so-called modern phitosophy, we shall find a common voice proclaiming truth as the foundation. Plato affords a good example of their gen- eral tone when he says that beauty ts the splendor of the truth. Though vague and indefinite, two things are clear—truth is” rmony of parts id superadded to this a certain brilliancy and splendor which compels the contemplation of that perfect unity in variety. Just as visibility does not imply brightness, neither does truth itself indicate beauty, but over and abcve them must be a _ certain quality which arrests the attention of the beholder and keeps him spellbound, it were, in the delight of contemplation. “The same idea is the keynote of Chris- tian philosophy. Turning our attention to seme of its definiteness we find that here also pleasure is the dominating thought. It is not, however, the pleasure nor satis- faction experienced in the attainment of truth in the demonstration, for instance, of a mathematical proposition. It is some. thing excelling this, the thrill of gratifica- tion which the brilliancy and perfect ‘har- mony of the object produces upon the soul. There must be no incongruity and ail the parts, duly proportioned in themselves, must be united in one perfect whole. The Intellect and every faculty of cognition which imitates the intellect is gratified when the splendor of proportion is assimi- lated to them, and taste is the term which we apply to the perception of beauty. The Ideal and the Real. “In the treatment of beauty philosophers generally distinguish between the ideal and the real. Ideal beauty is the type existing in the form which genius transfers to stone or canvas and in its brightest form it is the property of the greatest intellects. The Gfeeks cultivated it to a high degree of perfection, and their masterpieces are still our guides. The Romans imitated it. it is the form and soul of fine arts. Real beauty, on the other hand, is the splendid proportion, susceptible when it affects the naturally that of the. significance of the senses, intellectual-when it delights the un- < be derstanding, and moral when it manifests « occasion which is g. the scene of so sajemmity: which is some splendid exhibition of moral exce HW much ceremony lence. Of sensible beauty nature has been = . lavish. She has showered upon us th; = greatest profusion of beautiful gifts. In the spiritual there is a likewise beauty, the beauty of thought, ofsvision and of action. In all its perfection it is denied to us now, because sense is the instrument of know- ledge and in the flesh we are never permit- ted to soar entirely abgve -the world of matter; but as we catch glimpses of that Spiritual world in meditation and retire- ment, so its beauty comes to us at times, to soothe and refresh our souls and to strengthen us in our journey towards higher things. We see the” beauty of ‘the soul in the adherence to principle and in its readiness to give up all that is dear to man rather than to sacrifice anything that would bring a stain upon its luster. We see it in the sublime grandeur of the martyrs in the Colisseum, when they faced the hun- gry beast: titude on the stake, the rack and the gib-.| bet, for truth was dearer to them than ali 5 = Rory Haat ra mone may aoe ae « e hope after enjoymen' the retlected light, which gives such pleasure and happiness to the soul, we may pass onward to the perfect light, which brings with it unsurpassed joy and eternal rest.” Master's Address, ‘The master’s oration was by John J.

The annual commentement exercises of Trinity Parochial School were held Mon- day afternoon at 3 o'clock at Linthicum Hall. The friends and relatives of the pu- pils turned out in full force. The program was arranged under the direction of tha principal, Mr. Michael J. Scanian. It em- braced ten numbers, opening with a piano duet by Misses Josephine and Mary Curtin and followed by a chorus by the pupils of Trinity and St. Joseph's school. The third number was of a patriotic character, enti- ted “Our Country's Wars.” Jeremiah Dren- nan spoke of the war of 1775, Joseph Kear- ney the war of 1812, Ambrose Durkin the war of 1846, and Lawrence Drennan the war of 1861-5, with a soprano solo interven- ing, rendered by William O'Neil. A dia. logue, “A Plea for Peace,” was rendered b: Misses Johanna Drennan, Josie Curtin, Nel- lie Narnedy, Bessie Kengla, May Reilly Louise Lipscomb and Nora McDonald. At- ter a piano solo by Miss Nellie Dugan the minstrels were introduced, the work of the pupils receiving great applause. Roccofort Lyddane took the part of Captain Sigsbee: Bernard McKinley, Commodore Schley; George Branzell, Admiral Dewey; Joseph Dugan, Admiral Sampson, and John Luns- ford, Fitzhugh Lee. A recitation, “The Ri- diculous Piece,” by Dore Murray, preceded the awarding of diplomas. A piano solo by Miss Johanna Drennan was followed by the valedictory, delivered by Samuel S. Edmonston. A prize drill by the pupils of the school came next in order, the program closing with the singing of “The Star Spangled Bannet Jeremiah J. Drennan, Leo B. McCrystal, Samuel S.Edmonston and Joseph M. Kear- ney were awarded graduation diplomas, and were also awarded the scholarships to Georgetown University, through the cour- tesy of the faculty of the university.
