I think this paragraph states as con- 

 cisely and clearly as possible the twofold 

 basis underlying all sound study and in- 

 vestigation, not alone in morphology, but 

 in the whole range of the biological sci- 

 ences, of which medicine is a part, viz., 

 close scientific observation of the actual 

 conditions presented by any problem, and 

 the correlated study of the developmental 

 stages which have produced these condi-

"AUes Gewordene wird erst verstandlich 

 in dem Werden" is the way a great Ger- 

 man puts it. 



To men who have been trained in these 

 methods and principles, the Jefferson 

 Medical College can safely and confidently 

 intrust her future, in the full assurance 

 that her high reputation will be sustained 

 at their hands. 



And so, once again, I bid, on behalf of 

 the trustees and faculty of this institution, 

 God-speed and good fortune to the mem- 

 bers of the graduating class.
