We wish you much prosperity in the 

 active life you are now commencing; 

 we are sure that your future career 

 will be as fruitful and as successful 

 as your student years have been. 



Miss Fannie Hart now presented the 

 Lillian Leiterman Medal speaking as 



follows : 



Mr. Chairman, Members of the College 

 and Guests: 



In the past few years quite a number 

 of women have been graduated from 

 our school. They have acquitted them- 

 selves creditably and scarcely a com- 

 mencement has passed without one or 

 more of them receiving honorable men- 

 tion or even higher honors. 



The donor of this medal, herself a 

 successful pharmacist, desires that it 

 be restricted to the women students so 

 that they might be encouraged to do 

 more than pass a satisfactory test. 



The Lillian Leiterman medal is 

 awarded to the student who has main- 

 tained the highest standing throughout 

 the entire College course. 



The recipient this year has proven 

 that she is a leader not only among 

 women, but also among men ; and it 

 is my pleasant duty to present this 

 gold medal to Mrs. Estella J. Baddour. 



Professor George C. Diekman, in 

 awarding the Italian Pharmaceutical 

 Association prize, said : 



Provost Carpenter, Members of the 

 Graduating Class, Members of the Board 

 of Trustees, Members of the Faculty and 

 Friends: 



For the second time, since the found- 

 ation ciithe Italian Pharmaceutical As- 



sociation prize, the honor and privilege 

 of awarding it, falls to my lot. My 

 selection for this honor is perhaps 

 quite natural, as I am the only member 

 of our Faculty sufficiently conversant 

 with the Italian language to have made 

 the award in that tongue, and I had 

 prepared an address in choice Italian 

 for such purpose. 



The committee in charge of these 

 commencement exercises, however, upon 

 learning of my intention, requested 

 that I refrain from addressing you in 

 Italian, lest there be those in the au- 

 dience, who would be unable to follow 

 me. It is for this reason that I ad- 

 dress you in the English tongue. 



The prize of the Italian Pharmaceuti- 

 cal Association is offered for general 

 excellence in practical work. The 

 members of the Association which 

 offers this prize, while proud of their 

 Italian ancestry, are above all, true 

 and loyal Americans. Competition for 

 this prize is therefore open not only to 

 such students as are of Italian ances- 

 try, but to all students, whatever their 

 ancestry may be. 



The announcement, concerning this 

 prize, as appears in our Bulletin of In- 

 formation, reads as follows: 



"Italian Pharmaceutical Association 

 Prize. 



This association offers annually a 

 gold medal to the member of the grad- 

 uating class who has obtained the high- 

 est general average in practical work 

 during the senior year." 



When the tabulation of the results 

 of such work was made, it was found 

 that three students had obtained ex-
