What dues a College training avail the pharmacist? What 

 does it avail the community? Everybody is at seme time or other 

 at the mercy of the Pharmacist. "What if he prove incompetent? 

 Mav not a life be forfeited, or may not serious trouble occur.' 

 But his training teaches the pharmacist which prescriptions or 

 mixtures are safe for him to compound or for the patient to take. 

 His training teaches him to be more careful and more guardful 

 of the health. of the public and the more thorough is his training, 

 the fewer will be the mistakes of which we occasionally hear. 



Many have been the instructions of the professors and Shake- 

 speare's quotation : "< )ur fault lies in our Wars. Brutus, not our- 

 selves," is changed to read : "All credit is due, not to ourselves, but 

 to our professors." Much have the}' showered upon us, and in 

 their limited time they have done what many others would not 

 have been able to do. Where difficulties seemed thickest and in- 

 surmountable, they have been able to lift the barriers and bring 

 success within sight and reach of everyone. Their work has been 

 incessant and ever directed towards our welfare. Their helping 

 hands have ever been extended to do anv service or render any 

 assistance where needed or asked and no question was of too 

 little importance, but it received their fullest and most prompt 

 attention. 



We take this opportunity to extend to the members of the 

 Faculty our sincerest thanks for what the}' have done and espe- 

 cially indebted are we to the Dean for the most active part he 

 has taken in our welfare. 



The Board of Trustees is to be highly commended for the man- 

 agement of the affairs and the arrangements by which we have 

 been able to profit. To them and to the Alumni Association is 

 due much praise for the interest they arouse in the hearts of the 

 students to maintain a high standing of proficiency in their studies. 



The moment is now at hand and, though we do it with utmost 

 regret and sorrow, we must say farewell. 



Dr. Chandler : 



The benediction will now be pronounced by the Rev. George 

 Albert Godduhn.
