At the conclusion of the distribution, the orchestra rendered selections from 

 the " Merry War." Dr. James Elmore Logan then delivered the valedictory ad- 

 dress. Mr. Logan began with Pope's well known lines : 



" Know thou thyself; presume not God to scan. 

 The proper study of mankind is man." 



If this be truth, as it undoubtedly is in ordinary life, how much more is it 

 true as regards the physician whose study is this intricate body of ours ? Who 

 deals with life itself? The speaker depicted the responsibilities, etc., of a phy- 

 sician's life; contrasted the profession with others, and closed by thanking the 

 faculty for their kindness to the class, and by a few words of admonition to his 

 fellow students. 



In an eloquent address the valedictorian reviewed the work done by the Class 

 and the life work yet before them. The faculty were again warmly thanked for 

 their efforts in behalf of the instruction of the class, and the speaker closed his ad- 

 dress with a few well chosen words of advice and farewell to his fellow graduates. 

 The valedictory was warmly received by the class and the audience, being fre- 

 quently interrupted by applause.

Col. Theo. S. Case then delivered the following address : 

 Ladies and Gentlemen : — For some years past we have been accustomed 

 to hear very frequently the expression "machine politics;" more latterly the 

 phrase or term " machine education " has been launched forth. In the one case 

 it is applied to the management of political affairs by systematic party discipline 

 or drill, by which, to a certain exient, at least, the will of the individual voter is 

 subordinated to that of his party leaders. In the other, it is used to describe 

 "the rigid, mechanical, law-estabUshed routine" applied to the education of 

 children in the public schools of some of the States.
