It (Democracy) must cease taking for granted that it is the latest and best of all forms of polit- ical and social organiza- tion, and must prove it. It must cease contemplat- ing with lazy unconcern those conditions of life, of work, of health and of insecurity and illness and old age which move every truly human heart. It must stop using the institutions and privileges of Democracy for purely personal and selfish and gainseeking ends and lift itself up to the plane of a life whose greatest joy is the betterment of one s fellow-men and of the conditions which face and surround them. From Democracy in Danger. speech made by Dr. Butler at Southampton. Long Island. July. 1958.

FACULTY MD Dean Charles VV. Ballard Your commencement this year will be the last in a long line of similar events at which the significant phrase I declare you Graduate in Phar- macy , was the high point. One hundred and eight years ago this formula was pronounced for the first time in New York City and three Graduates in Pharmacy tool; their places among those who serve a useful purpose in the community. From 1851 to 1959 thousands have earned this award and joined those who have previously gone forth into an occupation which demands much of those who follow it. One in which the monetary return may not appear adequate for the effort required but one which permits a wider latitude in the final objective than in most callings. May this final objective for the members of this class be of a sort which will satisfy the community that a Graduate in Pharmacy is en- titled to respect not only on the score of knowledge but also by his attitude toward the pr ofession and business of Pharmacy as well.
