TO THE CLASS OF 1940 From those chronic patients on lloor number twelve, whose ailments are undiagnosed, and who olten suffer in silence, we oliver ultra best wishes, and the ultimate in congratulations to this seasonfs graduating group. These men never dreamed, when first entering these hallowed halls last July, that their pathways throughout the year would cross and coincide with this same group and benefit from their hospital experience ol two extra years, and pulchritude ol some- what longer duration. Alter the lirst several days of reading your name pins on the run and wondering in return how our own alias was lcnown so rapidly, lile soon began in earnest, or somewhere in the vicinity, since we have no Ernest in this group. Since then, rainbow colored pills ol all sizes and shapes have been rolling baclc and lorth and wearing paths in the brains of men in white, and maidens who wonder just how they act on hir. Jones, when they should really be somewhere along the intestinal tract oi the man next door, and we shall some day explain more clearly on the baclc cover why lxliss lxlulliet, who thinlcs she has a consoling cough, never improves on taking Bed '5's cough mixture every two hours, instead of Bed 3 getting it. You have been forgiven your trespasses, since they all drive away monotony and malce our combined services more enjoyable. even though it may seem at times that tears could be the only medicine having any effect. Nlore frequently your smiles and good deeds which were never noted upon a chart, have been ol more value to us than a page lull of orders. Vvhen you glance through this Year Boolc somewhere in the future, or meet the owner ol one of the numerous photographs sprinlcled here and there, a great bill of memories should always return, whether the events or remarlcs be recorded in these covers. or existent only in the minds ol a few, they are the ingredients, which mixed together lor several years, have molded into many lives a better or at least different attitude toward manlcind--and the internes.

HAPPINESS Happiness is a universal aim and an ultimate purpose ot every human lile. ln these turhulent and unhappy times one olten hecomes anxious and hewilclered as the thoughts ot Commencement present them- selves. Amid the turmoil, chaos. glamour and excitement ol a modern and progressive world one too hecomes vaguely and emo- tionally conscious ol the laclc ol happiness, and l am humhle and dillident in oltering you a philosophy ahout it. This tact l do lmow, the road to happiness must he traversed hy you yourself. No one can travel the road lor you nor can anyone hring happiness to you, lor it is derived from things with- out yoursell and from qualities within yourself. lxfly happiness during the past two years has resulted from the study ol your lives and your affairs, from your conduct during that period l have concluded that you have acquired a philosophy ol good will and Courage that will enahle you to lace life with interest, enthusiasm, faith, hope and a desire to serve: thus you clearly realize your own individual welfare depends largely upon your contrihution towards the hetterment ot humanity. Undoubtedly the question arises in your mind what are the essential things in the quest of happiness? In the words of Stevenson I may answer uThe world is so full ot a numlaer ol things we should he as happy as kings. Among these I would mention religion, music, art and nature. ln one at least you should Find a great deal ol satisfaction, hut above all l will advise you to lceep out of the urut of standardizatiormf' he not afraid to thinly your own thoughts, live your own lives provided you do not menace others. Seelc and grasp every opportunity to practice the art of nursing which is the only art that deals exclusively with Hhuman lite in action -sculpture expresses lite in terms ot stone, music expresses emotions through the medium of sound, painting deals with lite hut it is alter all only on canvas. ln the name ol your Alma hlater l challenge you to rise to your professional ideals, in the name ol' learning and in the name ol the lxlaster l challenge you to render service worthy ol your personality and your preparation received at Hahnemann.
