Dr. Bastedo : Trustees. Faculty, Graduates in Pharmacy,. Ladies 

 and Gentlemen : 



Each year among the students who are admitted to the degree of 

 Graduate in Pharmacy by this College, the 13 highest have their names 

 inscribed upon a Roll of Honor. To select such an Honor List, it is 

 necessary to give to scholarship a mathematical equivalent, so that 

 the students may be ranked in a regular class, according to their 

 efficiency. In making such a ranking upon a single examination, you 

 can readily see that some men would get upon the Roll of Honor 

 who are not entitled to be there. But this ranking is based upon 

 a series of examination, not merely on the theoretical work of the 

 year, but also on the practical work of the year, and also on the prac- 

 tical work of the laboratories. To have one's name on this Roll of 

 Honor is not an indication merely that one is pretty good in passing 

 his examinations, but it indicates that he has a considerable degree 

 of technical knowledge. Every name upon it bears witness to hard 

 work and all-around excellence. It would be a fitting tribute, per- 

 haps and a stimulus to future classes if each year the names on this 

 Roll of Honor were inscribed upon the walls of the College Hall. 



As you have been told, the total number of marks obtainable is 

 1,200. You have learned the names and the ratings of the first three 

 men on the list, who have obtained the medals from the Alumni 

 Association. They are, Mr. Isaiah A. Solomons, Mr. Frederick Gor- 

 don Hammond and Mr. Harry Ziegler. 



The fourth man on the list is Mr. Adam J- Traub, who obtained 

 1,033 points, or 86.08 per cent.

 or 86 per cent. He is Mr. Roy W. Ball.

 Mr. Maurice Zuparn.
