7R THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 



among them ; also to advance the science and art of pharmacy as well 

 as to encourage and assist the under-graduate. We, of the Alumni 

 Association are the children of this College of Pharmacy, although 

 some of us have become quite old children, though hale and hearty. 

 In this connnection I would like to refer to one of our hale and hearty 

 old children, the honorable President of our Association who is with 

 us this evening and who graduated in 1849. I refer to Mr. Ewen 

 Mclntyre. 



As members of former graduates, we naturally take a very deep in- 

 terest in the progress and success of the students and in this con- 

 nection I have to-night a very plesant duty to perform in presenting 

 to the three successful students the prizes which we annually award as 

 an incentive and reward for good and faithful work. These three 

 prizes consist of a gold, a silver and a bronze medal and are awarded 

 or presented to the three students having the highest general average in 

 their examinations or the three students standing first, second and 

 third upon the Roll of Honor. I understand that at the recent ex- 

 aminations a possible total of 1200 points could be made. When 

 you consider that these 1200 points represent twelve different sub- 

 jects, all equally difficult, you may well imagine that it is quite a siege, 

 if I may call it so, to go through and pass such an examination suc- 

 cessfully. As I call the names of the three students they will kindly 

 rise and step to the front of the stage. The first prize or a gold medal 

 is awarded to Mr. Russell Black. Mr. Black has obtained a total of 

 1 1 15 points or 92.91. The second prize or silver medal goes to Mr. 

 Alter S. Resler. Mr. Resler obtained a total of iioo points or 91.66. 

 The third prize or bronze medal has been won by Mr. Arthur A. Frazer. 

 Mr. Frazer has obtained a total of 1057 points or 88.08. 



My dear Fellow Graduates: I extend to you the heartiest con- 

 o-ratulations and best wishes of the Alumni Association. Let the 

 distinction you have achieved and the success you have won be an 

 incentive to you for high work in the profession which you have 

 chosen. Be honest, faithful and true." Have courage to do right as 

 you see fit. Uphold the dignity of your profession and of your Alma 

 Mater and may success crown your efforts.
