more cheerful for it. lt is tiherefore essential that you avoid the insidiousness of complacency and that you maintain an active and constructive curiosity toward all newer developments. You may at first feel that progress in the sciences fundamental to optometry is so great as to be bewilderingg you may feel the same witrh regard to Optometry itself, but l venture to predict that before very long you will discover for yourselves that tihe multiplicity of contributions to the archives of any profession, far from confusing it, serve paradoxically enough, to actually clarify it, idiopathic conditions, always a bane to the practi- tioner and a misfortune of the patient, diminish in number, the qualitative becomes quantitative, the speculative becomes specific. A carefully-followed plan of building an extensive library is perhaps the most desirable and practicable means of realiz- ing this, and therefore I recommend it to you with the confi- dence tihat it will enable you to do your part in helping Optom- etry to fulfill its sacred and indispensable mission to mankind, Several years ago l greeted you as students, and my asso- ciations with you have been pleasant in the extreme, today l welcome you as colleagues to whom l am, more closely than ever before, bound by a common heritage, a common purpose and common ideals.
