I appreciate the honor of the invitation to subscribe something for your class record; which reminds me, with regret, that passage of time has brought us to the parting of the ways. However, I congratulate you on your achievement, yet beg to remind you that you are just beginning. Please don't misunderstand for I am not a joy-killer, I am merely at this moment thinking back in reminiscence over years of strife, and once again I want to remind you that youth cannot in its fullest sense compete with age and experience. You may have technical ability, unquestioned, and also the recommendation of scientific learning sufficient for your faculty fq advise your graduation, nevertheless the experience obtained by close observation and comparison with that which has gone befpre, comprises a wealth of knowledge that is not gained in universities. | An active interest in The Humanities is significant to the patient whose personal problems you are studying and is an all important factor. All your talk cannot obliterate the object for which they .came—namely professional advice; nor can you yourself give this all important service unless you have the proper conception of professional responsibility. Don't betray yourself and your profession; .if you believe in it practice it. Keep abreast of the times. Study continuously. Practice technique in your laboratory. Believe in preventive endeavor. Make proper social contacts, and maintain faith in yourself. These are my parting words and I wish you, one and all, a fullness of life. C. BARTON ADDIE. 13
