an examination theoretical and at the same time practical. They have 

 undergone examinations in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Analytical 

 Chemistry, Organic and Inorganic, Materia Medica, Toxicology and 

 Pharmacognosy, both commercial and microscopical — the detection of 

 minute particles of drugs by the use of the compound microscope, as 

 well as in theoretical pharmacy, practical pharmacy and dispensing 

 pharmacy. Even the list of subjects is formidable and I leave you to 

 judge if the students here have not accomplished a great deal in a 

 single week. 



Assuming that a student answered every question and performed 

 every task in the most acceptable manner, the total number of marks 

 that he could secure would be 1,200, making a percentage, of course, 

 of 100. Now when I read this list and give you the number of marks 

 out of this possible 1,200, which the students have secured, you may 

 judge whether they have done well. You have already learned that 

 Mr. Black obtained 1,115 points or 92.97%. I shall not read you 

 the number of marks and the percentage of the entire list, but I will 

 tell you that the last man secured 989 marks or 82.41%, and I can 

 assure you that considering the difificulty of the examination and the 

 severe manner in which the marks were recorded, this is a very high 

 record indeed. The remaining names are as follows : Alter S. Resler 

 (1,100 marks or 91.66%), Arthur A. Eraser (1,057 marks or 88.08%), 

 Meyer J. Samuelson (1,034 marks or 86.16%), Charles W. Ballard 

 (1,030 marks or 85.83%), Louise Seline Suhr (1,020 marks or 85%), 

 Arpad Arthur Heller (1,017 marks or 84.75%), David A. Eolis (1,007 

 marks or 83.91%), Fred Plum (1,005 marks or 83.75%), Henry S. 

 Miller (1,001 marks or 83.41%), George A. Daly (998 marks or 

 83.16%), Roscoe M. Annis (997 marks or 83.08%), Henry Schwartz 

 (989 marks or 82.41%). 



I congratulate these students upon having attained these honors 

 and I ask you to keep in mind the names upon the list and see in a 

 few moments which of them have secured prizes.

ADDRESS TO THE GRADUATES. 



By President Nicholas Murray Butler, Ph. D. 



To the instruction and counsel which these graduates and Doctors of Phar- 

 macy have received, it is least necessary for me to add a very few words. In 

 those few words I should like to carry to them the message which I think it
