of DR.. Bowling, who was to precede him
with an address, as he was intending to
gather from that gentleman's remarks, his
own address. If it was understood that he
was present to make an address TO the Med
zeal Society, those present would be disap-
pOinted-he proposed simply to cOngratu-
late the class upon their suspicious tenmi-
nation of another medical course. He said
he had never witnessed SO large an assem-
bly, in that hall upon any similar occasion.
He wished to say TO the graduating class
that what they had just received was not a
regular sheepskin, as there had to be a great
deal OF hard scratching before they got that.
(Lau-h,er). True, he had known Of one
doctor being made in two days and a hall,
but generally il takes a much longer time
than that.

advice. (Laughter.) They would 90 out

those gray-headed professors had told them
was true. but would learn that such was

ton to the female portion of the commu-
nifty. The speaker felt that in less than
ten years women would be cOntending with
men in all branches Of industry and in all
the professions. He saw no reason why
women should not have the same rights as
men. Ifthey have a right to own land,

Women constitute the best allies Of the
physician. Wherever there is sorrow or
distress, wherever there is pain or suffering,
wherever mercy or g~entleneSs is required,
there you find woman, and in all the better
principles of human nature, she is vastly
5 periOr to man. You cannOt get along in
the sick room without women.
DR.. EVE
being loudly called for, made a short adj
dress, fall of humOr and happy hits. He
fully endorsed all that DIR. Winston had
said about women, and he felt that he had
demonstrated his regard for women to a
greater extent, as he had married twice as
many OF them IS DIR. Winston had.
(Laughter.) Perhaps, however, the Doctor
was like the irishman who was riding a
wild colt around in a pasture, clinging to
his steed By throwing his arms around his
neck, and who, when advised by his friend
Nike to Jump off the ugly baste,' replied,
And how the devil am | gOin' to jump OIL,
when its all | can DO TO hold on" Uaugll-
teri DIR. Winston may think that in get
ting married a man finds it q very difficult
thing to let 60, ii he should wish to.

followed DR.. Eve, in one of his character
iStic speeches, which was frequently inter-
rupted with applause, and at the close of
his remarks
Mr.. \. S. wILTSE,
member of the Graduating Glass was loud
~ called for by his fellOw-members. Mr..
WiitSc'S remarks were given in a free, Off
hand manner, and gave evidence Of his
being a speaker ONO ordinary ability. He
said he felt as proud of that calfskin Che
would not call it a '~sheepSkin, out of def
erence to DR.. WinstOn), as he was of the
first coat he ever had with a pocket in.
He had walked three miles to show
that coat to a little girl, and he was willing
to walk twice hat distance to show his di-
plOma to a big girl. (~Laugnter). He made
some very sensible suggestions to his class
mates, and hoped, as they were now about
to separate, and would probably never
again meet together rs a class, that they
might all meet in that upper world, where
God is the teacher, the museum the uni
verse, and the term all eternity.
The ~strinG-band of the 10th Infantry was
in attendance, and during the evening
PLAYED the following selections: SchOt-
tische, R~hineland; Waltz, Beautiful Hours;
Waltz, Blue Danube; Storm GallOp; Polka,
Mein Lieberhem; Violet Polka; Quadrille,
Daughter Of the Regiment.
