upon each of us and it is that influence which will be of greatest 

 service to us in our futures — and our memories of you will not fade 

 away. 



How can we voice our farewell to you, you who have bound all to 

 you by your kind help and good advice in our hours of need? 



Truly have you served us ; truly have you helped us — and we 

 shall not forget. 



We bid you farewell. 



Classmates : We too, must now say farewell. For two years we 

 have advanced steadily along the same walk of life ana have now 

 reached the crossroads, the turning point of our lives. 



We, who have labored together as a body and, as a body have 

 surmounted difficulties which seemed insurmountable, have now 

 reached that point of the road where each of us must be prepared 

 to meet and overcome difficulties as individuals. 



From now on, we assume that responsibility and self-confidence 

 which are the most vital elements in the profession we have adopted. 

 Only by conscientious application of the valuable knowledge imparted 

 to us, may we acquire that feeling of self-confidence so necessary 

 in the practice of a profession which guards the health and safety of 

 a community. 



If we but bear in mind how serious is the nature of our work, we 

 will more readily understand its responsibilities and avoid vital errors. 



Be sincere, my friends, in the performance of your duties. Let 

 us have faith in the old adage that "Right makes might" and remem- 

 ber that the "City of Happiness is in the State of Mind." 



I feel that I am voicing the sentiments of each of you when I say 

 that we are turning from here tonight in body, but not in spirit — and 

 we are doing this with genuine sadness. But memories of the College 

 so dear to us, will ever be an inspiration when we assume the graver 

 problems about to confront us. 



May we cherish these memories. Vivid recollections and tender 

 thoughts of our past relations will prevent our forgetting each other, 

 and I sincerely hope our parting to-night is only the beginning of a 

 happy and prosperous future. Farewell.
