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 '

This applies to the eight members of the bachelor of science c ' ass to whom I have had the privilege of giving personal instruction in our eight week laboratory course and to the Ph.Ch. ' s and the Ph.G. ' s whom I have had the pleasure of meeting in lectures during the past three years. « w fvYl It is no idle phrase that I make when I state that the Class of 1934 represented outstanding groups. The dark days of 1932-1934 were sufficient to try the mettle of the stoutest of heart, and most members of the Classes of 1934 have withstood the storm and stress of the three trying years in an admirable fashion. I congratulate you, not only because you are approaching your desired goal, but chiefly because you have acquitted yourself in so fine a fashion. You are about to graduate into what is today a cold, unpromising world — but I bid you to be of good cheer. Recently I wrote a few lines concerning the N.Y.C.P. Class of 1873 who like yourselves, graduated into a cold, unpromising world: em- phasizing that the Class of 1873 contained young men who became leaders in American Pharmacy. One was honored with election as president of the American Pharmaceutical Association, and two who are still with us are strong, healthy, capable men who have had distinctly successful lives. The Faculty will watch the careers of you members of the Classes of 1934 with affectionate interest. We hope that you will soon obtain good positions in the active world of Pharmacy. We stand ready to do all in our power to aid you in achieving success in our beloved calling: a calling to which this year I have devoted fifty years of service. H. V. Arny, Dean Twenty-four
