I he Jean 9 | jes-s-oge | o | he K ::yvaauaie ' ; FROM an educational standpoint, commencement means the day when, or the ceremonies at which, degrees or diplomas are conferred. I prefer to think of it as the day when those who have finished their formal training set out to begin their careers as practitioners. Which of the two meanings we accept is of little im- mediate importance, because in both instances your commencement is just around the corner. In a few days you will have completed your course in pharmacy and you will be entering a profession, the importance of which to the public welfare is constantly increasing. I am confident that you will live up to the traditions of your predecessors and that you will give a good account of yourselves. The celebration of this event should be a joyous oc- casion. I congratulate you upon having been success- ful thus far and wish you continued success in the practice of the calling for which you have fitted yourself. A. G. DuMez, Dean.

Meet them with courage and resourcefulness, and success will be yours. Let mc extend to you my hearty congratulations on the completion of your formal education, and assure you that the University will look with pride on your achievements. H. C. B TiD, President.
