Academy Commencement

Forty-one Young People Receive Well-earned Diplomas and Graduate

On Tuesday evening last at the Opera House the annual commencement exercises of the Iowa City Academy were held. This year the graduates number forty-one and are for the most part residents of this county.

Since the Iowa City Academy has been conducted by Prof. W. A. Willis it has grown in popular favor and in membership. Today it ranks high as a preparatory school, its graduates being admitted to the University without examination. As a school where the fundamental principles of education are taught none ranks higher than does this school.

A great audience was preent to witness the young people graduate and every seat in the Opera House was taken. The stage was handsomely decorated, one feature being the class motto of "Launched but not anchored" which in great letters extended clear across the stage.

The speakres all delivered excellent orations and selecltions which proved that the course of study received at the Academy was of a high quality. Each and every one acquitted themselves with credit. Following is the program rendered:
