LUTHER COLLEGE
Annual Commencement Exercises held at the College Gymnasium Yesterday.
| The parting of the ways came once more for a class at Luther College yesterday, and twenty-one young men were graduated to take their places In the world’s work. Of late it seems to have been popular for the class to consist of twenty-one, and as their average age is very close to twenty-one it may be said that the class In all senses of the word has come of age.
It is seldom there is a marked difference in commencement exercises or graduating classes at Luther More particularly is there a similarity, marked chiefly by uniform high standing as a class and general excellence and splendid character as young men These are some of the things that have made for Luther a name that many a larger institution might well envy.
When we turn to the college catalogue and read that out of 360 graduates, (32 of whom are numbered among the dead) 360 are clergymen, 58 are teachers, 32 are studying theology, 22 are physicians and medical students, to say nothing of 124 students who did not graduate but have since become clergymen, we do not feel that any words of praise that we might utter could add one iota of lustre to either the college or the students as they come and go.
