86 THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 



The most of us intend to be pharmacists and you send us forth 

 men ready for service. Yet, no matter what our sphere may be 

 in time to come, we can never fail to respond to that impetus, that 

 has been given us through you. Standing on the threshhold of the 

 morrow, the Class bids you farewell. 



Mr. Dean : We have passed the last two years under your guid- 

 ance. Your influence has been great. The standard of character, 

 that is yours, has been impressed strongly and indelibly upon each 

 of us. Yours has been the position of a factor for good that has 

 been multiplied a hundred fold into our hearts. We have counted 

 vour determination, your persistent adherence to the cause of right, 

 and your representation of duty and honor. At this parting, which 

 cannot be delayed much longer, we can but say. that we leave with 

 a spark aglow within us that has been caught from you. It rests 

 with the future to fan it to a flame. We bid you farewell. 



Members of the Faculty: Out of the Philosophy of old, arose the 

 great chain of sciences of to-day. Yours is the inheritance of the 

 accumulated knowledge of the ages ; and as heirs to such you have 

 passed it on to us. You have laid the earth, the universe, at our 

 feet and said : "Here is the world, and in it is Pharmacy, which is 

 to be your sphere; follow its paths with conscientious energy." 

 Each has impressed himself upon us, and it is that personal in- 

 fluence that has the greatest of values. Many of us have not yet 

 heard the call of achievement, but when we do, we shall have be- 

 ll ind us the knowledge and experience that you have given us. In 

 the close contact that has existed between you and us, difficulties 

 have arisen ; in the glamour of this night they are lost and forgotten. 

 We stand henceforth your equals and co-workers, and as students, 

 for the last time to-night, bid you farewell. 



Fellow Students: We have been working hard and silently for 

 two long years; and to-night our labors bear fruit in graduation. 

 This is a transition period from the old to the new, a launching out 

 into the future. To-night our comrades greet us, to-morrow it will 

 be the world. We will be scattered, carrying with us but a memory, 

 together with the germs of a fraternity, a true brotherhood that 

 shall stretch over land and sea, through hearts, homes and business.
