May the God of peace sanctify you. aml may your Spirit be preserved entire ilIlLl without blame at the coming of the Christ. PORTRAIT OF DR. HOLMES At the Close of the. morning eelehratiun a life-size portrait of Dr. Christian K. Holmes was unveiled; a gift to the College from Mfg. C. R. Holmes. The portrait is hung in the Holmes Memorial Room adjoining the north end of the Iiln'ttry. It reflects truthfully the whole-hearted spirit of the late clean; the use of the academic gown and cowl gives a classical aspect to the work. The :ll'IlHl! Len Mielziner. was present at the ceremony. After the exercises of the morning were ended. the medical students were entertained with a luncheon as guests of the faculty. Served, of course, in the College limrh-mom, there was nothing wanting to make it :1 most enjoyable affair It is on occasions such as this that proof is given of the traditional gtmtl-fellowship 0f the Metlicztl College faculty. The oLtt-Ul-tuwn visitors, tun, were shown every attention. Automobiles were at their disposal and most of guests spent the afternoon visiting points Of interest about the City. THE CENTENNIAL BAN QUET The new ball-room of the Hotel Simon was originally intended to be the seene of the festivities 0f the evening. but since this could not be secured because of incomplete construction, the main dining-mom was used. The decorations were arranged in perfect taste and the tables; were set for parties of ten and twenty, allowing of greater intimacy and permitting the outrofitown guests to he more closely associated with their friends. Dr. Freilerirk C. Hirks, President of the Univeraity. was toastmaster. In his opening address, President Hicks said: l We are here to celebrate the one hundredth minivetsmy oi the founding of the College of Medicine. with its lztlmraturies and General Hospitalt and to thank those interest whose and means have. made possible the strength and development of that institution.

The Greatness of Drake llLook hack to the great founder of your College of Medicine, Daniel Drake, and you will see in him two things-a man, strong. powerful. with genius, with force. and, a doctor, with special knowledge. Many men might have known far more about medicine than it was possible for Drake to know in his clay, and still have been small and insignihcant men in the history of any institution. What made Drake great were those qualities of heart and soul. the greatnces of Character which was made manifest in his determination, his energy and his will to succeed in founding here in the great interior valley of the continent, a. medical school which would provide practitioners for the people. who, in his vision, he saw must and would come to inhabit the fertile lands of central North America. HA5 a graduate of a municipal university tEdinburgl, said Sir Auckland in concluding, one of the oldest municipal universities in English speaking countries, I come here tonight with special and peculiar pleasure to congratulate you upon a hundred years of work well done, and to wish you Gocl-epced and prosperity for many hundred years to come. ADDRESS OF THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR Honorable john Barton Payne, Secretary of the Interior, was among the honored guests of the evening. He was introduced as one whose career from the early struggles of boyhood to a seat in the highest councils of the nation. typifies Americanism Flt its best. The Value of Research said Mr. Payne, llare given opportunity to make exhaustive study and research in all lines, it is impossible to prevent disease, it is impossible to develop in the leanred sciences. So it has been the function of the medical profession. not merely to alleviate pain and suffering, not merely to treat the ills from which we all suffer. but to anticipate disease, to find the source of disease and to stop disease at its source. so that now whole countries are bene- fitted by the research work of the officers of the Medical Corps. In looking around at this institution and other similar institutions and realizing how much research has done and is doing for this country I feel that the universities. the colleges of medicine, rest m the sure foundation of the one thing which makes life worth whileithe power, the opportunity and the capacity to render a ser- vice to nmnkind. I Unless 111011., ADDRESS OF DOCTOR JAMES ROWLAND ANGELL '1 count it a very treat privilege. said Dr. Angell, President of the Carnegie Corporation. 'tanrl a very great honor to be present on this occasion, as the representative of the Carnegie Corporation. which has had, in its turn, the privilege of giving to the life of Dr. Holmes, who lived and did his work among you, this highly deserved and all too meagre recognition of a lifetime of intelligent devotion to the highest form of human service. tThe Carnegie Corporation recently gave the sum of $250,000.00 to the Medical College to endow a chair nl' surgery in memory of Dr. Christian R.
