The friendly contest between the 

 honor men of this year's graduating 

 class has resulted as follows : 



The Trustees' prize in materia med- 

 ica is awarded to Louis Fryer; the 

 Trustees' prize in pharmacy is awarded 

 to Milton J. Sakson ; the Trustees'

 man A. Linck ; and the three gentle- 

 men whose names I have just men- 

 tioned will please come forward.

 it gives me great pleasure to present 

 to you on behalf of the Trustees these

attractive bank notes, which I fondle so 

 tenderly in my hands. Li financial cir- 

 cles there is sometimes used the phrase, 

 "bought for a song." If this be true, 

 then these $ioo bills might be consid- 

 ered as musical notes. I might even 

 suggest that you three have secured 

 more than scholastic honors ; I might 

 say that you have attained the musical 

 distinction of reaching "the high C." 

 Be this as it may, the word "song" 

 cannot be applied to your efforts. The 

 prize that each of you now holds. with- 

 in your hands was won by hard, honest 

 and persistent effort. You have shown 

 yourselves "fit ;" you have put your- 

 selves into the class with the prize win- 

 ners of the past ; in the same class with 

 Oehler and Diekman and Bastedo and 

 our lamented Vorisek and Leslie and 

 Ballard, to say nothing of the prize 

 winners who have entered commercial, 

 life and who scattered throughout the 

 length and bredth of this great coun- 

 try of ours, as living testimony to the 

 greatness of the College which we all 

 love. 



The winning of these prizes carries 

 also a grave responsibility. You have 

 to live up to the standards set by the 

 prize-winners of the past. You have 

 before you great examples ; examples 

 that you must emulate. You have be- 

 fore you a life of service, that will re- 

 dound to the credit of your Alma 

 Mater. She expects as much from you 

 as she has won from your distinguished 

 predecessors. She is confident that you 

 will acquit yourselves as creditably as 

 they have. 



In closing, permit me to extend to 

 you the congratulations of the Trus- 

 tees, the faculty and the student body.
