The  Valedictory  Address  was  delivered  by  Prof.  Remington,  as  follows  : 
Graduates. — The  words  which  you  have  heard  this  evening  from  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  College,  publicly  proclaiming  your  fitness  to  practise  your  profes- 
sion, are  indeed  welcome  words  to  you  ;  your  friends  who  fill  this  vast  audito- 
rium are  here  to  testify  to  their  regard  for  you,  and  to  exhibit  their  apprecia- 
tion of  the  qualities  which  you  have  shown  during  your  laborious  time  of 
probation. 
The  last  four  years  of  your  lives  will  probably  be  remembered  in  the  future, 
as  years  filled  with  toil,  self-denial,  tribulation,  and  disappointment  ;  but  this 
hour  will  forever  stand  out  sharp  and  clear  on  the  horizon  of  your  memories 
filled  with  "  happiness  o'erfiowing  and  joy  supreme." 
To  attempt  in  the  few  minutes,  that  remain  of  our  official  relations  as 
instructor  and  student,  to  force  you  to  listen  to  hackneyed  advice  and  well- 
worn  platitudes  is  not  my  intention  ;  in  times  of  exultation  and  unalloyed  pleas- 
ure the  healthy  mind  rejects  everything  but  roseate-hued  prospects  ;  it  is  futile 
to  predict  disaster  or  failure,  and  oracles  and  seers  who  see  aught  but  glowing 
successes  in  the  future  are  relegated  to  obscurity.
