BACCALAUREATE SUNDAY.

The annual baccalaureate services in Appleton Chapel were of the usual simple nature. Long before the appointed time, 4 o'clock, a large number of people thronged to the chapel, and were shown seats by the corps of ushers selected from the junior class, while many were compelled to stand. The services took about half an hour, and was varied with music sung by the choir and a double quartette from '84. The Baccalaureate hymn was written by C. C. Zeigler, '84, and was sung to the music of America. The sermon lasting about half an hour, followed. The preacher, Dr. Phillips Brooks, took for his subject, "Character, the link between life and knowledge," which he treated in his usual happy manner.
