E have passed through the ordeals of quiz and examination, and are now 'f.Ai.f' ready to leave this medical college, to scatter throughout the state and l W country, first into various hospitals to gain a practical experience, then 'N to take allotted places in a profession, which is, of all professions, the most humanizing and unselfish, the most broadening and liberalizing. We review today, in our mind's eye, our impressions, as we began the study of medicine. We remember well our mingled feelings of sorrow and wonder as we first stood in the dissecting room, a gloomy lot of Freshmen. We value the great store of knowledge we have gained, yet We realize that it is infinitesimal in comparison to the multitude of things about which we know nothing. We think of the many experiences through which we have passed, of many weary days and sleepless nights, of wonderful clinics, of diflicult examinationsg and we feel that it was all worth While. We ponder the satisfaction of knowledge well earned, of college friends, who are the best of all friends, and we feel that we ourselves have changed for the better since we came here four short years ago. Even our ideals are different. VVe see the world with different eyes. S. D. Gross well expressed the secret of success when he wrote, Genius invents, talent applies. The only genius l possess is the genius of industry, if l have any other, l have been unable -to discover it. The position which I have attained in my profession has been achieved by hard blows, by no special intellectual endowment, by no special gifts from God, by no special favor from man, but by my own unaided efforts, continued steadily and perseveringly through a long series of years, during which a kind providence afforded me sound health, lofty ambitions, and unflinching fidelity tomy profession. VVe hope that much of what we have accomplished here is significant and will remain, but we realize that the work before us means more. Gut effort has been merely preparation. We are now Doctors and must accept in the highest mind the obligation which rests heavily upon us. Our daily duty may lead us into dangers which we must face with the courage and fearlessness of a soldier on the field of battle. The time .will surely come when we must expose ourselves to the poisons of dreaded diseases and fight with the angel of death, yea, truly, we may fall in the encounter, a victim to our sense of duty to our patient. For us there may be no inspiring music, for us there may be no public honors: for us there may be no laurel wreathg but an enduring true Fame. A Fame, achieved, not by mere muscular strength, not by brutality, assassination and murder, but by having devoted our lives to the good of our fellow creatures. A Fame which we will receive for saving life instead of destroying it for restoring perhaps a loving father to his family, a kind mother to her children a dear child to the familv circle A Fame which mav never be is rltten indellbly upon the pages of history or engraved upon shafts of stone and bronze, but upon thankful hearts 1-Q, ' f ' L . -D 9 .'

,eggs so El Let us carry with us, and never forget, that he alone is worthy of true Fame, who brings comfort where before was wretchedness, who dries the tear of sorrow, who pours oil into the wounds of the unfortunate, who by his very actions inspires a love for God and man. This is the real herog this the man of True Fame. To the supremacy of such a life let us consecrate our finest purpose and devotion as we enter upon our medical career. In so doing, let us feel that it is the wish, not only of our relatives and friends, but of our Alma Mater as well. WVe can wish nothing higher or happier for each one of us than that through our lives, in joy and sorrow, in brightest sunshine and deepest shadow, there may remain with us the consciousness of duty well performed, of services nobly rendered, all of life faithfully lived. To our Faculty-a parting word. Our greeting today must be shadowed by a farewell tomorrow. We came as strangers and you received us kindly. We have tried to attain those high ideals of goodness, gentleness, generosity, self-sacrifice and earnestness of purpose upon which you have founded your success in life. NOW, as the time of our separation draws to a close, We feel that there is no better way to show our gratitude than by so shaping our lives and the practice of our profession as nearly as possible to the lofty standards you have set before us. ix ,r i- mi'! l2l-lil? , ei.
