Dr. Rowcn’s Farewell THE process of concluding the books of the Class of 1930 only signifies the opening of another volume. The old book is now but a history, but what a glorious record it represents! As you are about to enter into a new chapter of life which, in all probability, will be erected upon the foundations which have just been completed, stop and look in retrospection upon the past and think of the unity of your class of the past three years. Add the achievements of these few years and the result is success. The future holds in its bosom the unknown things of life, and because of this young folks have visions. Therefore, in the community of your new enterprise try and establish for yourself the reputation of honesty, integrity and dependability, and as sure as “the night follows the day your visions will be realized. I wish to take this opportunity to thank the Class of 1930 as a whole for their notable display of such loyal and unselfish support. In particular, I am thankful to the class officers of both years, and to the editor and his staff, the business manager and assistant. They, who so unsparingly gave of their time and labor that this Pharmalog might be realized. thirteen

Our President Bids Us Adieu To My Classmates: This has been the most unusual class in the history of the School of Pharmacy: unusual because it has been one hundred per cent, in its activities. When we first met we did not know each other, but through these three years we have grown to be fast friends. Friendship is what makes life so glorious, and the best way to make friends is to be one. We receive our training so that we may fit in better with each other. Let us all remain friends and. what is still better, let us go on making friends. Our good Dean has tried to instil into us character, which is so vital. The finest fiber in a man’s makeup is represented by his true character. Remember, character can make a bank account, but a bank account cannot make character. As a man thinks, so he lives, and so is his character. We may have misunderstood or misjudged each other in the ordh nary course of events through an impulsive act or a rash remark, but our true character was always revealed when the crucial test of loyalty, faith and trust was laid bare. Of the many pleas I have made to you let this be my final: put pharmacy back into the noble position it should hold and also help yourselves by becoming active members of our Alumni Association. I will never forget the pleasant times I spent with you. They were some of the happiest in my life. It gives me deep regret to become separated from most of you. May your future be full of happiness. To the Faculty: I desire to thank you in behalf of the class for your sincere efforts to aid us to become useful men and women, especially when we consider the overcrowded classes which prevented your giving the personal touch to the extent you would like to have given, as was the custom before the educational rush. Such a sympathetic and sincere Faculty will always be remembered by us. I wish to thank especially Dr. Minehart for his untiring efforts in trying to teach us some of the finer things in life during his weekly informal talks, and I know the class regrets that we did not have the opportunity to hear him during the other two years. These talks helped fifteen
