ROLL OF HONOR 

 Curt P. Wimmer, A. M., Phar. D. 



Mr. President, Gentlemen of the Board of Trustees, and of the 



Faculty, Ladies and Gentlemen : 



It becomes my pleasant duty, at this time, to introduce to you 

 the honor men of this graduating class. 



Their number, by virtue of custom, honored by time, has been 

 fixed at thirteen, not to prove the old superstition connected with 

 this number, an untruth, but to impress upon us more forcibly the 

 fact, that the element of luck could not have possibly entered into 

 the obtaining of a position on the Roll of Honor. 



These graduates have passed examinations in eight theoretical 

 subjects and have received marks in four laboratory subjects 

 throughout the term, making twelve subjects in all. 



Counting perfect work in each subject as equivalent to lOO 

 points, it is evident that the highest number obtainable was 1,200 

 points. 



Now, out of 1,200 points, the first man on the roll has obtained 

 1,130 points — Mr. Walter Regnault. 



This corresponds to a percentage of 94.17. 



Then follow : ; 



2. Samuel Baron, 



3. Henry Vogel, 



4. Samual Glasserofif, 



5. Frederick Yafifa, 



6. Flarold Cartwright, 



7. Earl W. Blake, 



8. Anton Robitsek, 



9. Leo Roon, 



10. Henry Weiss, 



11. Arthur E. Cole, 



12. Richard Elting, 



13. Samuel Tolmach, 

 Permit me to say a few words about the individual members 



of this honor roll. 



Mr. Walter Regnault, the first man on the list, the true type 

 of a scholarly young gentleman, at his entrance into college won, 

 in a competitive examination, the scholarship ofifered by the Man-
