There is no denying the fact that we are now fighting a war for our basic human freedoms. In this struggle all crafts, professions, businesses and vo- cations must give their fullest effort to see that the Democracies emerge victorious. One of the most vital sources of assistance will be found in the crucibles held by the trained hands of our Graduate Pharmacists. If it were pos- sible for each member of your class to speak out what is in his heart, I know his sentiment would embrace the thought: I have a heavy responsi- bility to my fellow-humans, and I shall do everything possible to insure my Country ' s future in glorious freedom. When this class steps forth to its destiny, let your high ideals lead you to great accomplishment for the relief of your fellow Americans. With kindest regards and best wishes for success, HERBERT R. O ' CONOR, Governor. HERBERT R. O ' CONOR, B.A., LLB., LLD. Governor of the State of Maryland

When future historians record world events, they will no doubt refer to the present war as the greatest of all times — a war in which the peoples of one-half the world were arrayed against the peoples of the other half in an endeavor to preserve the freedonn of nations and the democratic way of life. To us, the year 1942 will mark the time when our country entered the war. As members of the graduating class of this year, you will, tlierefore, receive your diplomas at a most critical time in the life of our country. It will be at a time when every citizen will be making an all-out effort to build up the armed forces and to produce the materials necessary to bring victory to the nations with which we are allied. At a time such as this, your opportunity for service to your country and to the cause which it has championed will be unlimited. I am confident that you will give the best that is in you to serve your country in this critical period and thus maintain the traditions of the founders of the State of Maryland and of your Alma Mater. I congratulate you upon completing your formal education at a time when the opportunities for outstanding service are so great. A. G. DuMEZ, ANDREW GROVER DUMEZ, Ph.G., B.S.. M.S..
