The subject of the oration was The Value of Exceptions." The thought in brief, was as follows: In looking over the four years of college educational experiences the college woman sees in knlelde-scope array the varied Interests of her college life. The teaching of these experiences is of two kinds: the direct and obvious, and the indirect, the subtle, that comes through the every day experiences of college life. The freshman when entering college has her Imagination filled by that of the first class, the alumna dwell reminiscently and happily on that of second.

Between these two stands the graduating senior who hopes to Judge of both impartially. All of these experiences which teach are of two varieties of events; rules and exceptions. Rules are of themselves obvious enough. They are necessary but not stimulating, results of the past rather than incitements to the future. It is wise to look ahead and learn by exceptions.

life the exception to a beautiful theory is sometimes the beginning of the discovery of the truth. If we foil to see and gain the value of exceptions we can become nothing more than automatic machines. In college we must grant that interest and commendation go, for the most part at least, to the exceptions. We cannot all be exceptions, but we can recognise the value of the exceptional. Too often we emphasise the rule, but rules, being human, are very faulty.

As college students our views are still rather narrow and faulty. We need to get a proper perspective, to be more tolerant and less sure. College students have, perhaps, the reputation of being categorically imperative. Let us be exceptions to this rule and ourselves realize tbe value of the exceptional. Following the oration, the senior members of the Glee Club sang "Treasure Trove of which Anna Elizabeth Spicer of Gioversville, X.

a member of (he graduating class, wrote the words. The versatility of the class of 1914 in the change from the serious to the humorous appeared when Rosamond Drexell Holmes talked about Town and Gown. The connection between these two is very subtle as shown by Miss Holmes, in fact it must be mathematically proven. Both, however, play a part in the student life of Smith College. The present senior class has only recently, because of its devotion to tradition and to the college color, which is hits, voted down the proposition to adopt the regular academic robes at Commencement time.

The quick humor and the local references in this sketch pictured for the students, perhaps better than could have any other way, the gayer side of college life and the daily happenings and mishaps. The organ recessional, the composition of Sophie Pratt. Corning, X. and played by Eva Denison, Cleveland, concluded the program.

SMITH OBSERVES IVY DAY Alumna Parade a Feature of the Ceremonies The Graduates Appear in Fantastic Costumes Hannah White of Worcester Is Ivy Orator Senior Class Song Written by Lynn Girl Special to the Transcript: Northampton, June IS Smith. College seniors, clad in white and each carrying a rose, were escorted by the Juniors, hearing the Ivy chain, as they marched across the campus to carry out their Ivy Day ceremonial today. The introduction to tho many festivities of the day was the alum-na parade. Each class was decked in costume of its class color, the older classes having bands in the appropriate color with their class numerals, over their shoulders.

The class of 1S99 with its green folly caps and costumes, jingling with bells, was followed by 1901 in purple directolre capes, broad purple belts, panama hats with cocky purple aigrettes and big drums. Then came 39091 livening the picture with yellow blazers, batting hats with yellow bands and gay yellow parasols; then nodding little green balls which, on closer inspection, proved to be green straw hats, worn by 1911 with the accompanying costume of broad green belts and strings of green beads; then 1912 with purple hats and Jackets. and then, last but not least. 1913 in white hats with yellow crowns and large yellow bows, yellow peplums, and, crowning touch, monocles on yellow ribbons. This varl-colored parade formed in the orchard behind Hatfield House, north of Chapin and the Lyman Plant House, and wound through the gardens up the hill past the Observatory and the Wallace House, until, on the green between Lilly and Seelye Halls, it countermarched with special singing and was received by President and Mrs.

Burton. On the Campus After the alumnae procession and the general which followed it, the seniors gathered at the Students Building to form for the Ivy procession, which is one of the most distinctive features of the Commencement exercises. As usual all wore white and caurried long-stemmed American Beauty roses, the gift of the sophomore class. The Junior ushers, lined on either side of the procession and bearing on their shoulders the massive chain of pink mountain laurel, made a picturesque contrast with their large garden hats and dainty colored dresses, to the white gowned seniors. The procession wound up lowly around the north front of Seelye Hall, where it was reviewed by President and Mrs.

Burton, passed the Art Gallery to the Library, where the seniors gathered on the steps to sing their "Ivy Song" and afterwards to plant their ivy vine. The planting, as is usual, was done by the senior president, who is Mary H. Tol-man of Worcester. The words of the Ivy Bong were written by Leonora Branch of St. Albans.

Vt, and the music was composed by Harriet Pruts man of Danville. 111. The procession was led by the Junior president, Dorothy Adams of Furgus Falls. and the vice president, Maudita Clement of Watertown. N.

T. The foremost chain bearers, chosen from the Junior class for their beauty, were Marion Park of Englewood. N. and Elsie Thayer of Minneapolis. These exercises were in charge of a committee the chairman of which was Ruth Brown of Montpelier, Vt.

The Indoor Exercise Following the procession out-of-doors were the Indoor exercises in John ML Green Hail, which are perhaps the most representative of college life and student thought of the many events of Commencement week. The programme is given entirely by the members of the graduating class. The students not taking part in the programme passed on into the hall and took their places in a body in the front section of seats. Visitors, parents and friends completely filled the auditorium. The president of the class, Mary H.

Tol-nao, conducted the exercises. Beside her on the platform were those who had been chosen to represent the class as speakers and also those who at any time had been members of the college council. The organ processional was played by its composer, Harriet Prutsman. In a short address the president extended, on the part of the senior class, a glad and cordial welcome to the visitors to their Commencement events. A song which was the peculiar possession of the class, both its words and 'music being the work of members of the class, Dorothy Octman of Coscob, and Harriet Prutsman, was sung by the graduating members of the College dee Cluh.

Margaret L. Farrand of South Orange, X. J-. spoke about "Academic Atmosphere." In a sunny morning atmosphere of a day of Commencement week at Smith College it Is a very skilful artist who could paint for the audience a picture of the ghost of the medlwval scholar, alone among his books in the dim library of an Oxford college. This Miss Fhrrand did, and then brought before them another picture of a girl in a blue "sport coat" hurriedly taking notes from a book in a modern college library.

Is this to be the ghost of the modern age when future scholars look back to us for examples? Such a figure is not immortal! The present-day student should strive to be a scholar in the true sense. Customs and circumstances are different, to be sure, but she should have a knowledge of how we should study and why we are studying, further than the purpose of merely acquiring a roll of white paper called a diploma. The student of today should look back at the ghost of the past and ahead into the future and should set before herself as an ideal the creation of a perfect academic ghost. "Summer Song." the words of which were written by Esther L. Harney of Lynn, was sung by Edith Edwldge Bennett.

At more than a dozen New England colleges seniors were given the farewell words of advice by noted preachers. Presidents Lowell and Hadley of Harvard and Yale, as le their custom, occupied the pulpits at their universities. Services were also held at Smith, Wellesley, Brown, Tufts, Wesleyan, Radcliffe and Boston College. Thus waa ushered 'in the biggest Commencement Week of the year. President Lowell on Success At Harvard President Lowell took for hie text II.

Kings, xllL, 14-19, the story of the visit of King Joash to the dying prophet Elisha. He said in part: The men who make a rapid success In their tint venture in life are not numerous, and some of them are actually injured by it Success Is, no doubt, an illusive thing, very hard to measure, and it is still more difficult to mark the steps on the way thereto. Let no man, therefore, be discouraged by failure to achieve an early success in the eyes of men. Success in the long run is founded mainly on the mattery of a subject, on comprehensiveness and accuracy In dealing with its problems; and in most pursuits that require long yean, sometimes the better part of a lifetime. Aa one travels along the road of life, the perspective changes One sees that comparatively small results are accomplish by ability and Intellectual brilliancy alone, unconnected with the morel qualities of earnestness in purpose, of industry and of peraistence.

We call these qualities moral, not because they are by any mesne always directed to moral ends, but to distinguish them from pure intellectual capacity. They are moral In the aense that they are related to character, and determine the force and steadiness with which an object is pursued, be that object in Itself good or bad. If success is to be measured by the attainment of the objects for which men set out on the ventures of life, then there are very few successes in the world; and those mostly of a rather poor quality. True success does not depend upon achieving the object a man has set before himself at the outset of his career, on the satisfaction of ambitions, or alms, or on being contented with what he has attained. Discontent does not signify either moral excellence or defective character.

"True success does not consist in doing what we set forth to do, what we had hoped to do; not even in doing what we have struggled to do; but in doing something that it worth doing. The gratification even of the most laudable aims, ambitions and desires is not the object of life. The man who sees clearly how and why the object of his life lies outside of and beyond himself, and to whom the solution of the problem has become a deep in the Innermost recesses of his has the greatest sustaining power 'orld affords." Abbott at Wellesley life wae the theme of Dr. Lyman Abbott yesterday for the baccalaureate srmon to the graduatnlg class at Wellesley. We are surely moving in this twentieth century, said Dr.

Abbott. Educated, sincere women can he pretty much anything they wish in the next few years. They have the ability. They will even become politicians the door will not bo dosed to you. Dr.

Abbott then went on to define bis conception of tha feminist movement. Feminism Is a curious movement, said he. Like all great world movements, it is partly good and partly bad. It all resolve on the educated women, of America to make it wholly a good movement. What I want to do is to put up to you this proo-lem: What will you do with this opportunity? "Ten years from now you will come hack to Wellesley for your class reunion.

Some of you young women will return from Western cities as mayors, others as heads of great Industries, and a great many more as wives and mothers. But wherever you are, your business is to understand the laws of the family, and bring about the age when all humanity will ha tho whole family of man. Tufts and Jackson Dr. Edwin C. Bolles preached the baccalaureate sermon at Tufts and Jackson colleges Rev.

J. Harry Holden of Rox-bury conducted the services and was assisted by the Tufts College choir. Dr. Bolles said in part: "The college today must not only inipart knowledge, but also teach the method of its use; not simply put tho tools of language, chemistry, medical science and philosophy into the hands of the students, but carry along with enthusiasm of work a skill in the employment of those tools by the use of which they hope to rise in their chosen profession. The second purpose of the college Is to combine the Information which it gives with the skill to use it and the method of ite successful use.

Yet this is not all. Over and above all power, high above the knowledge of Its successful use is the motive for Its employment. Back of success lies the moral element. "The crown of all education is to Impart the right motive for action and the use of knowledge To make the man who is fitted for great things work not for himself but for all men. The better we are tho better service wo render to the world." Dr.

Fitch to Radcliffe Seniors Go into your world, question It, honor It. scrutinise It, revere it and what you dare dream of dare to do," was tho counsel given to the Radcliffe seniors by President Albert Parker Fitch of Andover Theological School. Dr. Fitch said: "You and I were not sent to college simply to learn ancient facta or even modern facta but to create a scientific habit of mind, a mind to look into things an dsee why they are so. Do not bo satisfied that a thing is so, but step aside and find out tho philosophy of It" Cornell Cornell senior wreck waa ushered In yesterday by the annual baccalaureate servlcea which this year were held In the auditorium instead of In Sago Chapel.

The baocalaureate sermon waa preached by Rev. William P. Merrill, pastor of the Brick Presbyterian Xew York city. The members of the graduating class formed on the campus and marched by colleges to the auditorium. The now Cornell organ, only recently Installed at an expense of 20,000.

ASKS WHERE PRETORIA WAS Hamburg-American Line Requests of Cap- tain Dugge a Wirelesa Statement of Hia Position at Time of Collision with Hew York-Latter Will Sail on Schedule New York. June 15 In view of statements that the steamship Pretoria was off her course when she rammed the llr.er New York early Saturday, the Hamburg-American line today sent a message Captain of the Pretoria, asking him to state by wireless his position at the time of the crash. The Pretoria is bound for Hamburg, where ehe is due June 24.

The Hamburg-American line gave out today a paraphrase of a wireless message received from Dugge. It sheds no light on the cause of the crash, but states that only a few of the Pretorias plates were bent; that the ship was firm and tight and that there was no danger for passengers, ship or cargo. A force of two hundred shipwrights, riveters and plate fitters began today to the damaged port bow of the New York, and It was announced that the steamship would be ready to leave on schedule next Friday morning. A survey soon after she reached her pier yesterday, after the collision of Saturday mornlnfe. disclosed no breaks that would necessitate sending the ship to dry-dock.

The hole made by the Pretoria is about thirty-two feet long by fifteen feet deep. The first work of the repair force today was to remove the anchor of the Pretoria left in the rent when aha backed away after the impact. The cabin passengers praise Captain Roberts and his crew. Thmt there was uo panic was due to the warnings by the stewards that there was no danger. One passenger, Ben E.

Smith of Xew York, tells of conversing with a passenger aboard the Pretoria, so 6loae were the two vessels. Mr. Smith said that he wae able to get hod of a hinge on one of the Pretoria's gales and could easily have climbed aboard her. The rent made by the Pretoria exposed the firemens bathroom. Opposite this is the cabin occupied by the four masters at arms They were on deck and thus escaped death, as the entire room was ripped open by the prow of the Pretoria.

With more than six hundred and fifty persons on board, all thankful at having escaped disaster similar to that In which the Empress of Ireland recently was sent to the bottom, the Xew York reached port safely yesterday. As the eteamer passed Fire Island on her way into port an impressive service of thanksgiving, presided over by Rev. Francis E. Clark of Boston, founder of the Christian Endeavor Society was held. Coming up the bay the liner wore a big tarpaulin bandage over the gash cut by the Pretoria's prow and anchor.

That the Pretoria did not strike the Xew York between the funnels was due to the skilful handling of the American liner by Captain Roberts, who, when he saw that a collision was inevitable, ordered his boat full speed astern. Tbe German boat had reversed her englnee, but this had been done too late to prevent a crash, and she struck the Xew York about fifty feet abaft the stem. The Xew York recovered even keel when the Pretoria, hacking out at tho request of Captain Roberts, swung around until she lay alongside the Xew York with her bow pointing in the same direction. Passengers who had been awakened by tha collision came on deck, most of them In scant attire and a majority having life bolts. There waa no panic.

Every precaution waa taken when, the ships came together. The lifeboats were prepared so that they could, be swung out in a few seconds, but within ten minutes after the Pretoria had pulled away examinations and soundings ahowed that the ship waa not making water, With the coming of the fog In which the collision occurred Captain Roberta ordered the collision bulkheads of the Xew York dosed. Tbe ship had bare way on and the fog siren blew every minute. The first response from the Pretoria came a few minutes after three o'clock Saturday morning. The Xew York was then stopped dead, and Captain Roberta signalled to this effect.

The Pretoria responded that she would try to pass the Xew York going slowly. Then the crash followed. Yesterday a committee of tha paaaengers presented Captain Roberts of the Xew York with a resolution which had been signed by virtually all the cabin passengers The resolution said: We, the undersigned passengers, wish to express our appreciation of the wonderful diedpllne shown by the officers and men under your charge, when tho Issue waa doubtful, at tho time of the unfortunate accident. All passengers were at ones notified and there was no panic of any sort. The behavior of the officers and crew made us proud to be on an American ship.

I am not unwilling that It should be expressed in these concrete terms. Dr. Burton continued: If In our endeavor to realise a social quality of true life we are confronted by difficult facts we shall discover that the obstacles In our way aa wo try to be sane are even more serious. How can anyone really be sane in America today? Wo have gone mad In our search for whatever we may be searching. It makes little difference what the object of our endeavors may be.

The spirit and tho method are quite the same. Whether it is wealth, fame or education, wo want to got it aa quickly as jmsible.

Dr. Fannce Praises Youth The fighting of tho world, whether on fields of battle or In tho field of Industry or trade, or exploration on human service.

Faunce's sermon throughout was a plea for the preservation of tbe ideals of youth when in middle age there comet the "cooling of desire, the fading out of shining hopes, the loss of adaptation to changing circumstances. American ideals of success and achievement, he said, "have changed as the country has grown from Infancy toward maturity, until success, which used to bo measured in terms of material thinre has now come to be something social and ethlcaL We are now examining the quality of the man rather than the quantity of hia outputs, he declared. Dr. Hadley on Service The lasting Joy In life is in the completeness with which we meet our opportunities. said President Arthur T.

Hadley In hie baccalaureate sermon to the seniors of Yale. He who wins tho race for professional advancement is given the largest opportunities, he said. "But the lasting Joy of life Is not in winning or losing the race. It is not, except Incidentally, in tho largeness or smallness of tho opportunities given. It is in the completeness with which we meet our opportunities and are content to accept with untroubled soul and tolerance of failure the chance for giving such love and service as actually falls out lot.

The spread of communicable diseases must be checked; the bodies of tho children must be kept clean; the commoner and the more obvious physical defects must be relieved, remedied or prevented. Schoolrooms must he maintained not only in a cleanly condition, but they must be properly lighted, ventilated and kept from overcrowding.
