To the 1944 Graduates of the School of Pharmacy University of Maryland Baltimore, Maryland If ever a graduating class had an opportunity to make available immediately for the service of humanity the benefits of their professional training, such an opportunity presses upon the graduates of the University of Maryland School of Phar- macy this year.

I congratulate you on having been privileged to acquire the valuable training that is yours. 1 am confident you will re- quire no urging to put it to the best possible use. HERBERT R.

ISBs K You, who constitute ihe present senior class in pharmacy, will in all likelihood be graduated while our country is still at war. This being true, you will be graduated during a critical time in our country ' s history, at a time when the need for the services which can only be rendered by well educated and trained pharmacists will be unusually pressing. I congratulate you upon having completed the formal part of your education at a time when the opportunities for service to your country are so numerous and the possibilities for worthwhile accomplish- ments are so great. I know that you will avail yourselves of these opportunities to serve in accordance with the best Maryland tradition. With best wishes for your future success and happiness, I am Sinccrrly yours, A.
