When a course of studies has been completed and the students 

 are about to depart, they are obliged to submit to the final test; in 

 other words, they have to undergo, what to them is a rather un- 

 welcome process, an examination. Measured by a common stand- 

 ard, the scholarship of each student acquires a definite value, which 

 for convenience is expressed m numbers. Compiled, as they arc 

 from the credits earned in the final examinations and from the 

 marks of proficiency in the practical work during the term, these 

 figures indicate a student's standing in his class. While a figure is 

 not always a true or the most satisfactory index to a student's 

 worth, it clearlv shows his proficiency, when compared with others. 

 Out of those whose standings place them at the head of the class, 

 thirteen names are taken in order and are, annually, placed on the 

 Roll of Honor. 



It is with pleasure that I avail myself of the privilege of intro- 

 ducing to you the Honor Students of the Class of 1909. You have 

 already learned the names of three of the leaders, who have been 

 called up to receive special prizes. The marks that are given are 

 based on a possible total of 1,200 marks. They comprise twelve 

 subjects or obligations of 100 points each. An absolute perfection 

 would be 1,200 marks and would equal 100 per cent. 

 Out of these, the first man on tlie list is 



Siegfried Tow, who has earned 1116/2 marks or 93.04 per cent. 

 The second man on the list is 



Nicholas Tow, who has earned 1 104^ marks or 92.06 per cent. 

 The third man is 



Leon Lindsley, with 1087 marks or 90.58 per cent. 

 The fourth man is 



Samuel Stoller, with 108234 marks or 90.23 per cent. 

 The fifth man is 



George I. Branower, with 1077 marks or 89.75 per cent. 

 The sixth man is 



Francis Bean, with 1061 marks or 88.41 per cent. 

 The seventh is 



Jacob Etler, with 105934 marks or 88.27 per cent.
