the three medals just referred to by Mr. Fair- 

 child, the President of the college. In doing so 

 I want to extend to the tnembers of the gradu- 

 ating class the hearty congratulations of the 

 Alumni Association. There is not one member 

 among us who cannot fully appreciate the cru- 

 cial test through which you have just passed- 

 We know full well the thoroughness of the 

 professors' instructions and we know also well 

 — most of us too well— the rigor of the Ex- 

 amining Committee. We know what you have 

 gone through, and we can therefore extend our 

 congratulations probably more earnestly than 

 a great many others who will extend them to 

 you tonight. You have now, after having passed 

 through the requisite examination, had con 

 ferred upon you the degree of Graduates in 

 Pharmacy. Wherever you go, the eyes of the 

 college will follow you like the eyes of a 

 mother. She will watch your every success, 

 watch your every step. And also in behalf of 

 the Alumni Association I want to extend the 

 right hand of fellowship to the Class of 1896 

 and state that for the first time in the history of 

 our Association the entire class has been en- 

 rolled on our register and elected to member- 

 ship. The Association looks to you as younger 

 brothers, younger brothers and sisters, and 

 whatever you do our register will show. 

 Whatever success you achieve will be carefully 

 recorded, I know by looking over this class 

 and seeing its remarkable standing that very 

 few of your lectures have been bolted . While, 

 gentlemen, your progress may in the future 

 be somewhat of a Pil(l)-grim's Progress, yet 

 if you carefully follow the instructions and 

 the advice given you by Mr. Keller this even- 

 ing, success will surely ultimately crown your 

 efforts. 



The gentleman winning the first prize is Mr. 

 Karl Schnackenberg. The second prize is won 

 by Mr. Merton J. Coats. The third prize by 

 Mr. Karl M. Vogel. 



Mr. Schnackenberg, in awarding you this 

 gold medal I do so trusting that the metal itself 

 may be an emblem typical of your life work — 

 bright and always unsullied. 



Mr. Coats, yours is a silver medal. May that 

 also represent the proceeds of your business in 

 good sterling silver. 



Mr. Vogel, yours is one of bronze. I trust 



you will remember that while your hands may 



often be stained with bronze in your work, that 

 all labor, all work, is honest and honorable, 

 and that the man who achieves success by his 

 own efforts stands high in the estimation of all 

 right minded people. 



President Fairchild : 



Ladies and Gentlemen : We have now, with 

 the exception of the music and the distribution 

 of the flowers which you see before you, and 

 which is not the least enjoyable part of the per- 

 formance to these gentlemen, reached the end 

 of our programme. In behalf of the Board of 

 Trustees I thank you for your attendance and 

 for your careful attention, and I trust that we 

 may have the pleasure of seeing you all again 

 another year, and I now have the pleasure of 

 introducing to you my friend and the President 

 elect of the college, Mr, Edward Kemp.
