which you were subjected in all 

 of the departments, you, as well as 

 the fellow members of your class, 

 certainly are entitled to a great deal 

 of credit. The class as a whole cer- 

 tainly ranks, if not the very highest, 

 still one of the very highest. You 

 individually, of course, stand at the 

 head of that class. I want to say, 

 however, to you gentlemen individ- 

 ually now, that you are simply at 

 the beginning of your career. You 

 must not stop where you are at the 

 present time. If you want to suc- 

 ceed you will have to continue to 

 be successful in your future years, 

 and I very sincerely hope, and 

 every member of the class will join 

 me in that hope — every member 

 here will join me in that hope — that 

 we may find you in the front rank 

 of Pharmacy, just as we find you in 

 the front rank of your class to- 

 night. I congratulate you sin- 

 cerely. (Applause. )
