On Tuesday evening, the Annual College Address was given by Rev. J. E. Roy, D.D., Field Agent of the A. M. A., on the “Incompleteness of individual talent.” In his own inimitable style, the doctor entertained his audience with happy illustrations, amusing anecdotes and solid thought, showing the mutual interdependence of society, and how God has really and practically given “to every man his work.” In the afternoon of Wednesday, came the prize-speaking. The contestants for prizes in declaiming and reading were eight young men and one young woman. Two prizes were contended for; the first was tuition at the College for one year, and the second, tuition for half a year. A good deal of commendable ambition was aroused, and the contest was so sharp that the Committee found some difficulty in awarding the honors, which were finally conferred by giving the first prize to H. L. Bradford, of the Normal Department, and the second prize to Spencer Snell, of the Theological Department. Miss Dorcas White was also awarded a second prize for an essay on education. At 8 P. M., as a part of the programme for the week, was held the regular Wednesday evening prayer-meeting, led by the pastor, Prof. G. W. Andrews—full, fresh, spiritual and refreshing in its character. The subject of the hour was “Christian education.” The graduating exercises of Thursday were, indeed, a fitting culmination of all that had preceded them. The orations of the eight young men who graduated were in happy accord with the expectations raised by their examinations the day before. They were all thoughtful and manly efforts, well conceived and well delivered. As an illustration of what _can_ be done as well as of what _is being_ done for the colored race, the proficiency and promise of these young men is highly encouraging. They all go forth with enthusiasm for their work. They all have fields for immediate labor. It is quite confidently hoped that at least one of this class will decide to go to the Mendi Mission on the “Dark Continent.” But when we look about us and see the almost innumerable fields already white for the harvest, the inquiry involuntarily comes. What are these few “among so many”? In accordance with her new motto, Talladega College is doing a grand work “Pro Christo et Humanitate.” Her facilities and prospects were never good as at present. She was never so well deserving of support and patronage as now. Her location among the mountains of Alabama is delightful. The long blue ranges of mountains, as seen in the distance from the College campus, along with the bracing mountain air, strongly remind one of New England. The only institution of its grade for colored people in the State, its constituency is simply immense.
