The American Brewing Academy of Wahl and Henius held examinations for members of its 19th class, ending yesterday. Thirty-two students who had enrolled for the course offered by the Academy passed their examinations.

Both instructors and students met at the large auditorium of the Academy at three o'clock in the afternoon, where Doctor Henius gave a certificate to all who passed the examination and awarded a diploma to those deserving it. Doctor Wahl, in explaining the difference, called attention to the distinction. A Brewmaster's Diploma represents a statement wherein the Academy considers the holder thereof qualified to perform a brewmaster's duties, even to the extent of managing a brewery, a position which, in addition to a theoretical knowledge, requires long experience and mental stability.

Those who still lack some of these essential qualifications can obtain their diplomas later, upon giving proof to the institution that they are fully qualified.

As usual, the highest ranking graduate received a gold medal. George Stuhlfauth, of Marathon, Wisconsin, came into this category.
