F should seem almost unnecessary for me to give you advice as you finish your undergraduate course. However, as most of you will devote your lives to caring for the sick, let me stress particularly your sense of responsibility. You are members of a great profession. You are graduates of a recog- nized school of medicine. To you is entrusted the safety, welfare, and often the happiness of human beings. Sickness levels all human values. Pros- trate and weak, We turn instinctively to those who by nature and training are able to allay appre- hension and guide our footsteps along recovery's pathwayp to those Whose innate kindness of heart harbours no vestige of personal selfishness. With these thoughts in mind we wish you God- speed. F. l. I-l. CAMPBELL, Dean, Faculty of Medicine. RISTOTLE said: Education is an ornament in prosperity, but a refuge in adversity. ln the years of prosperity that we Wish for you, may you find in your possession such ornamental qualities as Aristotle meant, and such a well-spring of mental treasures that adversity may not be bitter. May you thus prove your- selves worthy alumni of your Alma Mater who is ever-mindful of you, and Whose greatest strength lies in the loyalty and success of her graduates.

faithful. T is frequently said today that the professions are overcrowded. This is a half-truth. The crowding is of idlers and incapables: but there is, and will be, plenty of room in every profession for competent men. History bears witness to the fact that those who have risen above mediocrity owe their success less to natural talent than to high ideals, constant application and hard work. They were satisfied only when they had done their best. May I suggest to you, Graduates of l937, that in every respect, both for this world and the next, it is worthwhile now to labour to rank high in the calling that God has marked out for you. ln all thy works be excellent. A. P. MAHONEY, Hector, St. Peter's Seminary. Q ,y 5. T no time in the history of Huron College, as far as l know its records, has there been such a large group of Graduates in so many differ- ent departments as in the current year. Ten hope to graduate B.A., one M.D., two M.A., one BD., one D.D., and two obtain their College diploma of l..Th. We share your satisfaction and rejoice with you. We wish you God-speed. Vtfe, on behalf of the larger body of Graduate members, welcome you to our ranks. A recent graduate, when l asked him to tell me the secret of the love that remains, said it was The wonderful Huron spirit, and, asked to define it, he said Each for all and all for each. That is the true spirit of brotherhood, the spirit of victory, the spirit of Faith. For it is the spirit of the Master who gave Himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time. May His Spirit ever keep you With sincere affection, C. CAMERON WALLER, Principal, Huron College. page 25
