For three years his authentic voice has echoed through the laboratory and will again reecho in years to come when we will be forced to disregard a mapped procedure and create new things by our own initiative. Now that we have completed our laboratory work, we must realize why such painstaking procedures are essential in this day and age. Rapidly, quantitative and qualitative measures are replacing guesswork. Large-scale production is no longer based on empirical judgment and individual skill, but is more and more becoming a system of scientific assaying. As we look back and recall our procedures that were so carefully mapped out for us in determining the purity of tartaric acid. Glauber ' s Salt, and other chemicals, we should realize that such analyses are the basis of analytical work, in the commer- cial world. Similarly, American industries are becoming more and more apprecia- tive of scientific research. As we take leave of the chemistry laboratory, we may pride ourselves in the fact that we are equipped with basic knowledge to experiment. Perhaps, some day one of us may bring fame and glory to eurself and to our college, by the creation of a new compound that will prove a benefit to science. Morkis Raymen. Twcnt «a ta

The microscope and its intrinsic potentialities, the mysteries of protoplasm, plant structure and nature, the ever-present odor of formaldehyde lending an appropriate atmosphere, all held a firm fascination for us. Who of us will ever forget that nondescript sensation we were instilled with, as we hesitatingly embarked upon new botanical fields? Then it was that our ever broadening vision disclosed new and monotonous panoramas as we slowly progressed through Botany. Histology, Pharmacognosy, and Microbiology. We leave much behind, soon to become but part of pleasant memories, enhanced perhaps by the mellowing processes of time. But we bear forth, molded and re- molded, into something substantially part of us, the essence of that vibrant spirit which inspired Galen. Hippocrates, and countless others in their unrelenting quest for Knowledge and Truth. Feter Trentadve if? Twenty-two °= o '
