July,  1919. 
Patterson,  and  was  a  masterly  presentation  of  true  Americanism 
and  advice  which  followed  would  lead  to  the  highest  type  of  useful 
citizenship  and  individual  success. 
A  notable  feature  on  this  memorable  occasion  was  the  distribu- 
tion with  the  programmes  of  the  "  Honor  Roll  of  Graduates  and 
Students  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  who  served  in 
the  United  States  Army  or  the  United  States  Navy  during  the 
Great  World  War."  The  roll  included  nearly  five  hundred  names 
of  those  who  are  known  to  have  performed  military  service  during 
this  period.  Possibly  there  are  many  more,  of  whose  service  for  the 
country,  the  college  has  not  yet  been  advised.  Taps  were  sounded 
for  the  list  of  twenty  names  of  former  students  who  died  in  the 
service  or  were  killed  in  action. 
The  following  is  a  reproduction  of  a  bronze  medal  or  token  of 
appreciation  that  has  been  prepared  by  the  college  and  which  will  be 
presented  to  each  graduate  or  student  of  the  college  who  during  this 
war  has  performed  military  or  special  service  for  the  government. 
The  medal  will  be  sent  to  the  family  of  such  as  have  made  the 
supreme  sacrifice. 
At  the  commencement,  President  French  made  the  speech  of 
presentation  and  Robert  P.  Fischelis  responded,  accepting  the  honor 
in  behalf  of  those  who  had  been  in  the  service  and  pledging  their 
continued  loyalty  to  the  nation  and  to  the  college.
