The students represented six states, Can
ada and England; Ohio claiming ten i;
Michigan, seven Canada six Psnnsylva-
MIA, three; and England, Massachusetts,
Vermont and Maryland, each, one.
The exercises were opened with prayer
by the Rev. Mr.. Page. In the absence of
the gentleman appointed to deliver the VAL
SdictOry Address Prof. s. R. Bsckwith per-
formed, in short notice, that delicate duty
with feeling and tact, and in the course of
his touching remarks made many obserYa-
tions and suggestions concerning the life
aud practices of the medical man, which
were of such sensible and wholesome tone
that, if followed, they must lead to honor
and success
At the conclusion of his address the de-
gree ofM. D. was conferred upon each Of
the class, by Prof. J. G. Sanders, who then
proceeded to address the class, treating
not OILY of the duties and responsibilities,
but of the rigkts also, of the medical profess
SION he graphically sketched the usual,
conventional routine of the physicians
praqstice, which he condemned by Civ
ing in constrsGt his ideal of the duty and
prs&tiee of that Office. He said the popu-
lar creed in reference to the use ofthe Doc
tor. like that promulgated under the former
decision of the Supreme Court, concerning
the negro, was, that the physician had no
rights which the white man is bound to re-
spect. He protested against the universal
selling out of the service of the profession
to the public, and the consequent ongross-
nent of all the practitioners time, to his
loss of Opportunities for general cultivation,
and the defrauding his family of his pres
ence and social influence. A liberal Gull
ture was insisted on, and the students were
earnestly exhOrted net to allow cOnsidsra-
tions of profit or honor to cheat them into
the neglest of duties growing out of their
social and moral relations.
After giving the class the farewell words
in behalf of the Faculty, the exercises clos
ed with prayer and benediction. The Pro-
fessors and students separated to meet again
in the evening, at Chspin's Hall, where a /
banquet was to be served up by the Fac
ulty to the students in honor of their grad,
uation.
