As a mark of esteem his fellow-members of the New York Retail Drug- 

 ai'^ts Association, of which the deceased was the founder, have instituted the 

 Joseph Weinstein Prize, a compound microscope to be annually awarded to the 

 student making the best record in analytical chemistry during the second year 

 who is not the recipient of any other prize. 



I take pleasure in presenting the Weinstein Prize to Mr. Anthony 

 Armentano. 



Dean Rusby now presented the Lillian Leiterman Gold Medal and the 

 Italian Pharmaceutical Association Gold Medal to Miss Selma TemHak and the 

 Dohme prize to. Philip Tishber. 



Miss Selma Temliak then delivered the valedictory address : 

 Upon me has been conferred the honor of giving utterance to the last few 

 words, — those word^ which must draw the curtain upon the brightest scenes 

 of our early lives ; those words which carry with them a blessing and a prayer ; 

 those last sweet words, fare thee well. 

 Honorable Gentlemen of the Board of Trustees: 



As the class of 'i8, we extend to you both our greeting and our farewell. 

 A greeting, the more warm since in this hour when we feel most intensely that 

 true happiness which springs from the consciousness of a task well completed, 

 we are first meeting with you, the silent men who have laid the foundation for 

 the culminating events of this honor. 



As each year glides by, you listen to the departing words of a new group 

 of students who have been plucking the fruits of your paternal labors and fore- 

 thoughts. These successive classes have stood before you for a few brief 

 moments and then the sails of their frail barks have scattered far and wide 

 across the great ocean of endeavor. So we come before you tonight, soon to 

 scatter as fading specks upon the wide horizon. We appreciate your kindly, 

 quiet, disinterested interest in our welfare, and believe that you will find an 

 ample reward for your unselfish service in the consciousness that success has 

 been attained. May you yourselves attain life's noblest end is our most earnest 

 wish. Farewell ! 



Honorable Dean : We well know how fully you realize that the most 

 valuable asset of the American nation, and indeed of every nation is its citizen- 

 ship. You have faithfully and skillfully put forth every effort in your power to 

 make true American men and women of the raw material placed in your hands 

 for the building, of this class of graduates. You have taught us the lessons of 

 a life devoted to a noble purpose. Throughout the process of building, you have 

 kindled aspirations for a definite and noble object in life. Now with but a few 

 moments to linger in these halls, we turn and express to you our deepest appre- 

 ciations for implanting in our minds and in our hearts your own noble principles 

 and ideals. We sincerely trust that the years to come may demonstrate to 

 your satisfaction, as well as to our own. the fruits of your efforts to turn out 

 into the pharmaceutical world American men and women of intelligence, in- 

 tegrity and industry.
