 Dr. Mansfield:— 



Mr. President, Trustees, Fellow Members of the . Faculty. 

 Graduates and Honored Guests : — 



It is eighty years since the foundation of this College. In 

 the early days of its existence, it was not possible to have an 

 Honor Roll of thirteen. In fact, during at least three of these 

 years, it would not have been possible to have an Honor Roll 

 of one, as there were no graduates. In 1847, when our much 

 beloved Honorary President, Ewen Mclntyre, graduated, there 

 were only five students to receive degrees. It was not until 1879 

 that the Roll of Honor was established. At that time only ten 

 students were eligible. To-day, thirteen students of each class 

 attain a place on the Roll of Honor. These students have proven 

 that they possess those qualifications which are essential to the 

 successful student, namely, the desire for knowledge and the 

 ability to learn and the happy faculty of being able to distinguish 

 the essential from the non-essential. The following men have 

 shown themselves to be the intellectual leaders of the class of 

 1912. 



At the head of this list of names is Mr. Robert Schleussner, 

 who out of a possible 1,200 points or 100% received 1.T06 points, 

 which is the equivalent of 92.1%. Mr. Alexander Finkelstein 

 comes next with 1,066 points or 88.8%. Mr. Attilio Eobertiello, 

 the third man, obtained 1,048 points, or 87.3%. Mr. Antonio Mat- 

 tia reecived 1,017 points, or 84.7%. Mr. Pasqual Guerrieri re- 

 ceived 1,016 points, or 84.6%. Mr. William G. Crockett received 

 1,015 P oir| t s - or 84.5%. Mr. Herbert C. Oehlers received 1,006 

 points, or 83.8%. Mr. George Calvelli received 994 points, or 

 82:8%. Mr. Maximilian Nemser reecived 989 points or 82.4%.
