upon the care of a present nurse, not 

 upon the love of adoring- parents, but 

 upon the ability with which the lonely 

 man in the drug store deciphers the 

 prescription that the child is expected 

 to take. Yes, the responsibility is a 

 grave one and all the graver because 

 it must be discharged oftentimes with- 

 out those surroundings which make 

 perhaps for greater care, when we are 

 observed by our fellow men. 



A man presents himself at the drug 

 store counter. Only a glance at him and 

 you know that he is a victim of the 

 drug habit. Body emaciated, face dis- 

 figured, mind gone almost, soul warped, 

 he stands there claiming that you shall 

 give him something to minister to the 

 disease that grips him, for a profit per- 

 chance to you fabulous in its per- 

 centage. It is not enough to turn on 

 him your back. It is not enough to 

 say to him that he must go elsewhere. 

 There is an obligation to tell him in as 

 plain words as you know how, the 

 course that he may pursue to shake ofif 

 the shackles that have unmanned him, 

 so that he may again stand where God 

 intended he should, with a sound body 

 and a sound mind, redeemed from the 

 curse that you may be instrumental in 

 saving him from. 



The world is full of these responsibil- 

 ities — the soldier on the firing line, the 

 student in the ofiice, the thinker or the 

 philosopher in the silence of his own 

 home — but there is no more responsible 

 calling than that which you now enter 

 upon. Are you going to measure up 

 to it? The College expects it, your 

 friends expect it, the world expects it, 

 your God expects it !
