is doing. Not only is this pharmaceutical education of great benefit 

 to the community, but it qualifies the pharmacist for his life work; 

 it gives him the self-respect, which comes with the knowledge of 

 proficiency, making a professional man of him, admitting him to a 

 guild or fraternity, and making him a man of science. Science in- 

 volves accuracy. In fact, modern science has been defined as the 

 art of accurate measurement and accurate analysis. Rerthelot, one 

 of the most distinguished French scientists, in speaking of the 

 methods of science, said that they at present are, in fact always have 

 been, the main, if not the only source of both the moral and the 

 material progress of human society. We cannot overestimate the 

 benefit to the comnumity in sending out every year nearly loo well- 

 trained pharmacists. The pharmacist is the associate of the physi- 

 cian. The ])hysician without the pharmacist would be helpless. 

 With the trained pharmacist he has an assistant who really com- 

 pletes his service to the patient ; and then the influence and example 

 in the community in the thorough preparation for the work of life. 

 W hile we are very happy in the progress and satisfactory con- 

 dition of the College of Pharmacy, we are by no means satisfied. 

 We have ambition, and we hope to maintain our College not only 

 in its present condition, but to make it more useful and morej^rofi- 

 cient. Our resources have always been limited. It is a curious 

 fact that our College has made progress without the slightest out- 

 side assistance. The State has never contributed a penny to aid 

 this College. No man of wealth, outside of the ])harmaceutical pro- 

 fession, has ever come forward to give us the slightest assistance. 

 We are always living in hope, that someone with the means, may 

 realize the importance of supporting this College liberally, and that 

 someone will come forward, pay ofl^ our debt and give us an endow- 

 ment, so that we may make our College far more useful even than 

 it is at the i:)resent time. (Applause.)
