May, 1918 C. U. C. P. ALUMNI JOURNAL 73 



Esteemed and Beloved Lady and Gentlemen of the Faculty: To you has 

 been given the task of impressing directly upon our minds, and implanting in our 

 hearts the seeds of knowledge and wisdom. The present occasion plainly indi- 

 cates how well and faithfully and the future will prove how successfully you have 

 labored in our behalf. You constitute one of the strongest links in the chain 

 of the world's progress. You are directly responsible for our highest attain- 

 ments in the profession that we have chosen. 



Out of the black magic of the alchemist, out of their meagre pharmacopoeia, 

 out of their imperial search for action and reaction, your profession has skill- 

 fully brought before us this new and creative science of modern pharmacy. We 

 have for two long — yet shortseeming years relied upon your wise guid.ance and 

 sought that counsel and assistance which you have so ably and willingly be- 

 stowed. At last the time has come when we must march our' little crafts away 

 from the ship-yard, away from their master builder's hands and sail away where 

 safety and success must be found in self-reliance. We are now off for a new 

 battle, with none to guide and assist, and we feel heavily indebted to you for 

 your helpful and sympathetic guidance in the years now closing. With yonr 

 final message ringing in our ears, we are made to feel that in you we may con- 

 tinue to find accessible friends and advisers. Farewell ! , 



Fellow students: We are tonight under the influence of two great forces, 

 memory and hope ! Memory, as we look back over the years now ending and 

 hope, as each one stands questioning his own future. We have reached, not 

 the end, but the commencement of a new life, charged with responsible under- 

 takings. Let us start right ! Let us mark out for ourselves a new and shining 

 pathway, then let us follow it faithfully. Our honorable instructors have set 

 for us a broad, strong, substantial foundation. It now remains for each of us 

 to erect upon it his own edifice. And as our work progresses and as we begin 

 to reap our respective harvests, let us not forget that "Whatever a man soweth, 

 that also shall he reap." Whatever may be the nature of our own particular 

 harvest do not forget that sometime and somewhere we must ourselves have 

 sown the seeds. 



With cheers of loyalty to our Alma Mater and bound by the ties of a kind- 

 liest thought, purpose and spirit in working together for the common good let 

 us now breathe that inevitable word "Farewell." 



After benediction had been pronounced by Dr. Morris the exercises came 

 to a close. 



ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE 



A new service flag is flying from the balcony of the College building. Three 

 large blue stars with the figures '175' tell the tale. One hundred and seventy- 

 five of our boys have answered the call. 



One gold star has been placed on the field of red in honor of Albert S. 

 Cooke, '98, who has made the supreme sacrifice, having been killed in action 

 in far off Mesopotamia.
