Thoughts to the Class of 1918: How shall I live? In earnestness. What shall I do? VVork earnestly. What shall I give? A Willingness. I VV hat shall I gain? Tranquillity. But do you mean a quietness In which I act and no man bless, Flash out in action infinite and free, V Action conjoined with deep tranquillity, Resting upon the soul's utterance And life shall How as merry as a dance? fSignedj FRANCIS G. HARRISON. Your patient is never a case but always a human being very like yourself. May you' all live very happily ever after. Sincerely, I . fSigned'j ARTHUR B. HAMILTON.

H Camp Greenleaf, Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. To the Class of 1918: The profession to which you are now being ad- ,mitted has always been characterized by sacrifices. However, I know if you approach it with the same spirit that was manifested by your class as undergraduates, you will consider each sacrifice not as such, but as an oppor- tunity for doing good. These opportunities I fear are about to be tre- mendously multiplied, but I know that under such circumstances your thor- ough training, your initiative and your splendid spirit, will enable you all to win honor and glory for yourselves and your Alma Mater. Best wishes to you all for a very successful career, from 4 KSignedj WILLIAM BATES. 23

Prediction for Class 1918: How far that little candle throws its beam, so shall your good deeds shine in this dear old world. KSignedj B. M. MCINTIRE. To R. N. i Remember it's commonly said: There's nothing too hard for a nurse! You nurse us until we are dead- For death does notibother a nurse, When we come to this earth You assist at our birth- That's work day and night fora nurse. You're never to sleep or to eat- For you can't be human and nurse. You work in the cold or the heat, But what matters that to a nurse? Not -a howling D. T. A T. Y. or T. B. Is too tough a case for a nurse. Some day you'll .be called to a case, And meet every other good nurse ln a heavenly sort of a place, VVhere there'll be no patients to nurse, You'll do nothing but rest, Just be happy and blest, For nothing7s too good for a NURSE. . fSignef1j O. H. PERRY PEPPER. To the Class of 1918: Leave consequences to God, but do right. Be genuine, real, sincere, true, uprightf' The world's maxim is, trim your sails and yield to circumstancesf, But if you would do any good in your generation, you must be made of sterner stuff, and help make your times rather than be made by them. You must not yield to customs, but like the anvil, endure all blows until the hammers break themselves. When misrepresented, use no crooked means to clear yourself-clouds do not last long. If in the course of duty you are tried by the distrust of friends, say in your heart, I was not driven to virtue by the encouragement of friends, nor will I be repelled from it by their coldness. Be just, and fear not. fSignedj JOSEPH C. BIRDSALL. 25
