Transcription
Read from the image (line breaks not kept); the end of the commencement report, which the clipped region shows from the list of degrees on. The paragraph that names him:
The following officers of the Alumni association were elected yesterday for the ensuing year:
T. D. Samford, Opelika, president; E. M. Oliver, Lafayette, vice president; R. D. Webb, Auburn, secretary and treasurer.
The same report lists the year's Bachelor of Science graduates by county, among them "Charles Felton Little, [county lost at the left edge of the clipping; the fragment visible before the next name is consistent with 'Lee']", and the medals given that evening, including one for "the best drilled soldier in the battalion" and one for "the best drilled company"; Champe S. Andrews is called "an alumnus of this institution".
