 highest proficiency in the three subjects, Mr. Plum stood second in the 

 highest proficiency in Materia Medica. Mr. Resler stood second in the

 edge of the subject of P^harmacy. It therefore gives me great pleasure

Mr. Resler, you throughout the tern.i have also demonstrated your 

 ability to solve the numerous and intricate problems involved in Chem- 

 istry, and you also demonstrated at this competitive examination your 

 knowledge and your ability to soh^e these problems in Chemistry. It 

 therefore gives me great pleasure to present to you $ioo for attaining 

 the highest proficiency in the practical examination in Chemistry. Mr. 

 Black has demonstrated his ability not only in the laboratory- but in the 

 class room and also in the practical examination that he is able not 

 only to judge of the actions of medicines and select crude specimens 

 of drugs, but he is also able to recognize under the miscroscope minute 

 particles of powdered drugs. It therefore affords me the greatest 

 pleasure to award to Mr. Black the $100 prize for attaining the highest 

 proficiency in the subject of Materia Medica.
