the daily bread, or whether you use it for scientific investigation, you 

 will be constantly depended upon its true adjustments, its stability and 

 accuracy. Whatever stand in your future career may be allotted to 

 you, let this exponent of truth constantly remind you that your sta- 

 bility, your honesty, and your integrity should be such that others may 

 safely rely upon them. You realize that this wonderful product of 

 human genius and skill, though it is made to last you a life time, may 

 suffer destruction almost instantaneously. To you its material value 

 must appear insignificant when compared with that permanent, moral 

 effect, that inspiring and uplifting stimulus of the distinction which 

 this reward places upon you. You also realize that all these rewards 

 and all these honors which you have received from this college have 

 a distinct meaning* Since they must be well deserved and fairly won, 

 what are they but the expression of infinite justice? And do you not 

 realize that vour own deep-hidden expectations of reward for honest 

 and worthy eft"orts, that your hopes, your trust in good and upright 

 men are finding realization? 



Let me give you an echo of the President's Message ! "Keep your 

 balance in proper equilibrium." Another balance, one by which your 

 account with this institution must once be settled is out of equilibrium. 

 I see its bearer strongly inclined in your direction. The pay suspended 

 from the lowered arm is heavily loaded with honors and rewards. Will 

 this balance ever be adjusted? 



Let me assure you, Kr. Krepela, that b>- living a clean and manly 

 life, devoting vourself to your chosen w^ork, and remaining true and 

 loyal to the institution whence you are setting forth on a promising 

 career, you may hope to establish perfect equilibrium between yoursslf, 

 this institution and all mankind. Let me congratulate you.

VALEDICTORY ADDRESS. 



A'aledictorian — George A. Daly, Ph.G. 



Gentlemen of the Board of Trustees: 



Fate ordained that we should meet in mutual friendship ; it now 

 ordains that we must part to pursue what I hope will ever be the even 

 tenor of our way. 



Occupied in the pursuit of science, we have scarcely been awake 

 to the greatness of our institution which you gentlemen have founded 

 and fostered with the greatest of care.
