AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF ADELPHI ACADEMY, which took place in Robinson Hall last Tuesday evening, announcement was made by Mr.

James H. Post, president of the Board of Trustees, of the purchase of a new site in the Borough of Queens, where this Institution, so long an important factor in the educational life of Brooklyn, will carry on its work as a country day school. The announcement was hardly a surprise, as the question of what action Adelphi was to take on the problem which is leading to the establishment of so many schools of this type, has long been mooted, and came to a head a few weeks ago at a Parents' and Teachers' meeting. The site which has been purchased is at Rocky Hill Road and Motor Parkway, and comprises twenty-two acres. Transportation facilities are being arranged with the Long Island Railroad.

A Junior School is to continue the use of the present site of the Academy, which will afford room for athletic activities to this smaller student body. The program opened with the Invocation by the Rev. Lynn P. Armstrong. The Boys' Chorus then sang "The Road to Mandalay" and "The Bells of St.

Mary's," and two commencement essays were read "A Cup of Coffee" by Harriet Spitzer and "John Marshall's Contribution to the Constitution" by David Hunter Collins. Both showed painstaking research, and the latter was notably well thought out. The singing of Winifred Marshall of the Class of 1905 is a regular feature of Adelphi commencements, and never fails to give much pleasure. This year she sang, in costume, the Moon Song from "The Mikado," a Swedish Herdsman song and a Norwegian "Echo song," which she said, was one of the numbers sung at Castle Garden by Jenny Lind. The Rev.

J. Stanley Durkee made the address of the evening, urging his hearers in. the graduating class to pick out their goal in life and stick to it in spite of all obstacles. Honors for the year were awarded by Mr. Lloyd W.

Johnson, the principal as follows The Barlow medal for scholarship, to Ruth E. Raabe; the Charles F. Lehrenkrauss cup, also for scholarship, for the third successive year to Evelyn Louise Groehl; the Latin medal, given by the Classical Club of New York, to David H. Collins. The Herbert W.
