hattan Pharmaceutical Association. At the close of the Junior 

 Year, he stood at the head of his class and, thereby, won the prize, 

 offered by the Alumni Association, and now, at the end of his sec- 

 ond year, he is again before us, a winner, excelling in his studies 

 and setting a standard hard to reach. 



Messrs. Baron, Vogel, Yaffa, Cartwright, Blake and Cole were 

 also on the roll of honor last year, Mr. Blake taking the second 

 prize. These gentlemen have retained their position as leaders. 



Messrs. Glasseroff, Robitsek, Roon, Weiss, Elting and Tol- 

 mach are new men on the honor roll. They have shown that they 

 are of the material which makes for success. My friends, your 

 last step in College life has been a success, may a kind fate give 

 that your steps in life, which now are to follow, may be as success- 

 ful. You have gained to-night, deservedly, the admiration of friend 

 and foe, you have strengthened the ties which bind you to your 

 friends. Get into the habit of winning, and be not satisfied unless 

 success is yours. 



And now, in the name of the College of Pharmacy, its Board 

 of Trustees, its faculty and officers, I congratulate you most sin- 

 cerely.

 of a professional man, partly because reading sems to me an im- 

 portant part of the culture of every individual and partly because 

 it seems to me essential to the culture of a member of one of the 

 professions. In the first place, I am often asked as to who may be 

 considered members of a profession, and what is meant by pro- 

 fessionalism. I can perhaps answer this question best by saying 

 that professionalism represents the service of society. Commer- 

 cialism is the service of the individual. The one represents an 

 effort to satisfy the needs of men ; the other an effort to 

 satisfy their desires. This is also, it seems to me, a dis-
