He complImsnted the class, and pro-
nounoed it the fullest and most distln-
guished of any which have attended the
sessions of the college since his connection
with 1t. In the course of observing that
the honor was extended to them, first, as
teachers, and, second, as medical men. he
remarked that banquet given to medical
men ia an unusual thing, and he appealed
to the most venerable man present to say
If ever in his life he had heard of such
a thing. The path of the physician lies
not in public places, but his life is spent in
