CHARGE TO THE GRADUATES BY PROFESSOR WALLACE.
Another year. a whole year, a year OF Anch event.
has passed since the officers Of Jefferson Medical
College assembled under this roof to
year OF the institution anniversary. We say the
great day, for TO anniversaries the whole year pays
On that occasion there also grouped together
here goodly band OF younger men, who had reached
themselves to need no Ionger the guidance or pre-
ceptors, and who therefore, were invested here aud
then with legal power to assume the rights and 'ne
the degree OF Doctor or Medicine
To you who, at that time, looked forward,
with hopes and tears that kindle hope"
to this present with all its store OF pro
mise, how very long did seem the coming year
But look back now, and how short the semolalce
of the timel SO long, In fancy in the prospect 81
short, in fact, by retrospect
Yet in this year, De itas you WILL short or long,
Row many IDlnRS-SOlu6 RTehI, SOME Siudli, as We
may view them--haye transpredl say as we may
view them for the true value OF the events OF ANY
passing time is not always 20 be recognized at sight
1t is often, most he determined by time 10 come
1t may be that 'the weak things" OF to-day shall at
last, 'cODfOund the mighty"
What vast amount OF JOY and sorrow OF hope and
disappointment, OF good resolve and faulty action,
has this last year Drought forth!
Whas mighty wealth Of fruitful husbandry, what
rich stores of successful commerce, mas THIS year
What advance has Science made at nee eading
Art to Overeap barriers that, heretofore success
fully opposed her progress.
What woful waste what fearful sufferingS, what
sore heart breaks, what agony OF desoation, have
been wrought by strife OF battle and OF war!
What hosts OF new beings have come upon the
earth What cohorts Of disease aud injury OF every
Kind have worked out their feil intent! What
holocaust OF deaths has this last year sh0wnl
year Is, after all, IN sober fact, whether con-
sidered merely as part OF time, or rsckoned by its
de eds great section Of human life And OF the
dee DIS OF this just closing We conceive that It Is
by no means among the least Important th at It has
brought You 10 that point In your lives where now
you are, that IL mas placed you In the position fb
which you have been preparing through all YOU
