...Academic students. The Divinity School Commencement is, however, to be discontinued, and orations have been assigned to those students who have obtained the requisite mark. The other schools which have neither had a Commencement of their own nor have been represented in the Academic Commencement will hereafter take part in the exercises. There will also be addresses delivered by recipients of the degrees of A. M., Ph.

The final bout between Messrs. Seymour and Morgan then began, with great interest on the part of the spectators. Both contestants were excellent boxers, but Mr. Seymour labored under the disadvantage of being still somewhat blown by his preceding contest with Mr. Reeves, and Mr. Morgan succeeded in getting in several hard and lively blows. The bout, which was an exciting one, was decided in favor...
