THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 101 



We have a goal in common. Yours is to send forth men who will 

 prove to be influential factors in the world and reflect credit upon 

 this Institution ; ours to attain that degree of prominence. 



Through the unusual opportunities afforded us, your sincere efforts, 

 and judicious management, we cannot fail to respond to that impetus. 



Ready to strive for the attainment of that goal, we bid you fare- 

 well. 



Mr. Dean: You, sir, have imparted to us the lessons of a life 

 devoted to helpfulness and high ideals. The precedent which you 

 have established in maintaining a high standard of honesty and moral- 

 ity in the practice of our profession, has impressed itself strongly and 

 indelibly upon each of us. 



Whatsoever of success may be ours in the future, will be the re- 

 sult of the noble example you have set and the desire to lead as 

 useful a life. 



We thank you for the benefits we have derived from your teaching, 

 for the words of encouragement you have given us — and which have 

 often spurred us on to higher endeavors and stronger effort — for your 

 just and courteous consideration, and for your interest in our welfare. 



Ours is the desire to follow the example you have set in your ad- 

 herence to the cause of right and your conception of honor and duty. 



We leave you, sir, with sincere regret and a fond farewell. 



Gentlemen of the Faculty: Somewhere I've read that man's for- 

 tunes are according to his pains; if little labor, little are his gains. 

 I cannot estimate the amount of pains which the class of 1913 has 

 taken, but have a keen appreciation of the extent of our gains, through 

 your noble efforts. 



To you, gentlemen, we are indebted for the start you have given 

 us toward a method of independent thought ; to you, gentlemen, we 

 are indebted for that valuable system of discriminatino^ the under- 

 lying principles of our profession. To you, gentlemen, we are in- 

 debted for the foundation of our careers. 



Your devotion and zeal have served as an incentive — no, I will go 

 further — as an inspiration in striving for great achievements in the 

 future. 



We have spent two years of our lives under your care ; in these 

 two years the strength of your characters has impressed itself forcibly
