AWARDING THE ALUMNI PRIZES 

 H. A. Herold, Ph. G., President of the Alumni Association. 



Ladies and Gentlemen : 



I have the pleasure this evening of awarding the Ahunni 

 medals to the three highest men on the Honor Roll. 



The Alumni Association was organized some years ago to 

 create good fellowship among the graduates of the College and 

 the students, to advance the interests of pharmacy and kindred 

 subjects, and to foster all the interests of the College. In our 

 general aim to help the students and to increase the interest in 

 their work, we award them annually a gold, silver and bronze 

 medal. It is my pleasure this evening to award the first prize — a 

 gold medal — to Mr. Walter Regnault. 



The second prize, a silver medal, to Mr. Samuel Baron. 



The third prize, a bronze medal, to Mr. Herman Vogel. 



Gentlemen : On .behalf of the Ahnnni Association I congratu- 

 late you on your success. You are to be congratulated because, 

 starting with the same opportunities as the rest of the members of 

 your class, without handicap and with even chances with the rest, 

 out of one hundred you iiave finished at the head. 



There is one word I would like to add in addition to what Pro- 

 fessor Chandler has stated to the graduates, and that is : Don't be 

 tempted to pilfer the products of somebody else's creative genius, 

 something that they have acquired by brains and capital. Don't 

 poach on their preserves, but be creators and inventors yourselves ; 

 use the knowledge and the methods of thinking that you have ac- 

 ([uircd here in the past two years and you will be a credit to your- 

 self and an honor to the University that has graduated you. I 

 thank you.
