THE JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY. 



here at the present time a focus. It 

 is going to the North and to the 

 South, to the East and to the West, 

 and it is going to carry to each and 

 every place a promise of hope, an 

 ambition. It is a good thing to have 

 an ambition. The ambition should 

 not be too far off, away off in the 

 skies ; it is a very good thing to 

 have the ambition pretty nearly in 

 sight from day to day, to see it. But 

 there is something better than hav- 

 ing an ambition, from a practical 

 point of view, and that is to have 

 the place where the ambition can 

 find its fruition. I think that some 

 of you may recall that line of Kip- 

 ling's that speaks of the East. He 

 says, " Now it is not good for the 

 Christian white to hustle the Aryan 

 brown, for the Christian rules and 

 the Aryan smiles, and he weareth 

 the Christian down, and the end of 

 the fight is a tombstone white with 

 the name of the late deceased, and 

 the epitaph drear, a fool lies here, 

 to try to hustle the East." 



Ladies and Gentlemen, we may 

 be proud that we live in a land 

 where hustle counts for something, 

 and that is why I am here. I am 

 here to present to a member of the 

 Post-Graduate class a prize, which 

 prize is only an indication that this 

 gentleman has tried to do something 

 here while he has been with us, 

 and that we hope that he will carry 

 this with him as an ambition to do 

 something further. It is my 

 pleasure ladies and gentlemen, to 

 present to Doctor Elbert C. Purdy 

 (applause) this "clock." (An 

 analytical balance was awarded.)
