Glu the lass uf 1925 lVIarch l, 1025 The academic distinction which you have conferred upon me chances to come on the eve of the worst birthday of my life, and it greatly reassures me. It is good to be told by your committee that I eased the jolt between college and medical school, and that, even at the end of your course, you would have a further word of advice from one who talked to you so much four years ago. Then anatomy was all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. Now it has taken with you its humble place in the medical discipline. Pasteur did his great work without anatomy - though it happened that, of all men in America, it was a Harvard anatomist. who followed it with deepest and most critical interest - and Pasteur's biographer quotes knowingly that anatomists are city errand-boys, aware of street-names and house-numbers but of nothing that goes on inside.

Be wise as se'rpent.s', harfmless as doves. That is what I have learned to expect of my own physicians, of whom I can easily recall fifteen.

Only the great consultant deviated a hit whe11 he spoke softly in the sickroom, and outside the thin partition urged the attendant to go in for it, and if you don't get it the first time, go in again, leaving his patient picturing the thrust of the trocar. Pray do not follow Wycliffe's version and be Nslygh as ser- pentis, simple as dowuesf' Confident of your success, and congratulating you upon winning that ancient and honorable degree, the most eovetable that universities confer, I alll, Faithfully yours, Y
