Upon our departure from this In- 

 stitution, with which our associa- 

 tions have been so intimate, our 

 feeUngs naturally are those ot 

 pleasure, but this pleasure is in- 

 evitably intermingled with lamenta- 

 tion. To sever connection with 

 those who have spared no effort in 

 laying for us the foundation of a 

 brilliant educational career is the 

 sad termination of student life. 

 With what anxiety the student 

 looks forward to graduation day, 

 and upon its arrival it is with a 

 keen sense of regret that he bids 

 farewell to his Alma Mater. 



We now pause on the threshold 

 of responsibility. To-night we are 

 confronted by kind friends, sweet 

 flowers and enchanting music. To- 

 morrow finds us battling with the 

 world. We enter the spacious field 

 of science, knowing not whether 

 our hopeful destiny shall be realized, 

 and as years roll by with what be- 

 coming pride will we cherish the 

 days spent in the Institution which 

 was instrumental in paving for us 

 an entrance into the scientific 

 sphere. As we advance step by 

 step, so will the reverence increase 

 for our highly esteemed Faculty 

 and beloved Alma Mater. 



"Popular Medley," Humphrey. 

 Mr. Thomas F. Main, Ph.G.: 



The prizes offered by the Alumni 

 Association will now be awarded hy 

 Mr. Charles S. Erb, Ph.G., Gradu- 

 ate of the College and President of 

 the Alumni Association. 



Awarding Alumni Prizes. 

 Charles S. Erb, Ph.G., President of 



the Alumni Association : 



Ladies and Gentlemen : Fellow 

 Graduates : A duty devolves upon 

 me as President of the Alumni As- 

 sociation which is indeed a pleasure. 

 When one is made the instrument 

 through which meritorious work and 

 superior knowledge is rewarded, this 

 duty is certainly gladly performed. 



The Alumni Association consists 

 of the children of this College and 

 as such we naturally have a warm 

 spot in our hearts for our Alma 

 Mater, and a warm one, if such be 

 possible, for the graduates. 



As an incentive to good and faith- 

 ful work, we award three prizes an- 

 nually, consisting of a gold, a silver 

 and a bronze medal. These are 

 awarded to the three who have the 

 highest standing on the Roll of 

 Honor. At the recent examina- 

 tions there were ten subjects, which 

 made a total of one thousand marks, 

 being one hundred in each subject. 

 We require of the prize-winner not 

 only that he should be perfect in 

 pharmacy, in chemistry, or any 

 other subject, but he must have a 

 generally good excellent average in 

 all subjects. 



It affords me a great deal of pleas- 

 ure this evening to award the gold 

 medal or first prize to John W. 

 Schlegel. (Applause.) Mr. Schlegel 

 has received out of a total of 1000, 

 931 marks (Applause) or 93yV per 

 cent. 



The second prize goes to John P. 

 Regan. (Applause.) Mr. Regan 

 obtained out of a total of 1000, 921 

 marks or 92yV per cent. (Applause.) 



The third prize is awarded to 

 Harry B. Winne. (Applause.)
