Hon.  George  D.  McCreary  made  the  valedictory  address,  and, 
among  other  things,  said:  "  You  are  living  in  an  age  in  which  there 
are  new  conditions,  new  chances  and  new  opportunities  for  original 
research.  There  are  great  chances  for  you  if  you  will  put  into  effect 
what  you  have  learned  from  your  alma  mater.  Unless  you  use  your 
knowledge  wisely  and  get  out  of  the  beaten  track,  instead  of  fol- 
lowing the  line  of  least  resistance,  you  will  be  mere  machines  all 
your  lives,  and  will  not  gain  the  success  you  are  all  looking  for. 
The  twentieth  century  wants  original  knowledge.  New  men  with 
new  ideas  will  come  on  to  take  the  place  of  those  who  have  made 
the  nineteenth  century  what  it  was."
