| Scheel's new orchestra-which means the
old orchestra with very few changes.
After a brilliant rendering of the over
ture to "Oberon" DR.. Cole introduced the
Right Rev. Bishop Nichols, who delivered
the prayer, the faculty and graduates
standing.
DR.. Cole introduced to the audience J..
b. Reinstein, the attorney, an alumnus of
the university known Familiarity as the
Little Giant" who was down for an
address.
May not the medical worker in the
higher field" he said, "gain fuller powers
by the application of that line, ooh, wad
some power the giftie gle us, to see our
selves as ithers see us" To these novitiates
opinion of the world will amply excuse
this tax or their attention"
Mr. Reinstein then went on to say that
the world had an idea that most OF the
graduates of medical colleges were too full
of theoretical and had too little of practi-
cal knowledge. He advised the students
to try to overcome this objection by close
attention, all the while bearing in mind,
however, that professional work should
only be judged by professional methods.
There were three professions which he
called noble, in that their end was the up
lifting and the helping of humanity.
These were law, theology and medicine.
Medicine gives the sound body, theology
the sound heart and law gives to all free
dom of action among the contending forces
of the world.
DR.. John C. Spencer was introduced after
the orchestra had rendered "Lohengrin"
fantastic, to deliver the valedictory address
to the graduates on behalf of the faculty.
Ladies and gentlemen of the graduating
class of '95" he began, 'you have now at
tanned the goal for which you have SO
faithfully and earnestly striven. You are
about to enter now the promised land of
comradeship with us as colleagues and you
are now qualified to reap the reward of
your studentship, and 1t is my pleasant and
earnest duty to ask your attention to few
suggestions born of experience. | wish also
to point ont to you certain fallacies and
pitfalls which you must avoid"
He pointed out that the professional life
of the graduates would consist largely of
detail, and he assured them that one large
element of success is in direct ratio as the
physician gives his attention to that de-
tail, his observance OF habits of personal
neatness.
Avoid anything in your habits or man.
ners.' he continued, (which might give
offense to the most fastidious.'
DR.. Spencer then gave short resume of
the advance of medicine within the last
decade and predicted still further strides
in the next, reminding his hearers that the
day had passed when only gray heads
wore the laurels of fame.
President Cole then made q statement
that there we're three of the graduates who
had passed satisfactorily, but had not
reached the age necessary for diplomas.
These were: Miss Grace FEEDER, Louis
Dominic Bacigalupi and Augusta Leon
Jerome Lartigan. These, he said, would
receive certificates that they had passed
diplomas as soon as the necessary time had
elapsed.
The graduates were then called to the
stage in two divisions, presented to Presi-
dent Kellogg and received their degrees
and diplomas at his hands. They
were, including the three, yet lack
ing a few months of the necessary age:
Louis Dominic Bacigalupi, Joseph Cri-
santo Badilla, William Benjamin Franklin
Barbat, William James Robert Boyes, Au-
gustus Frank Brown, Frank Wilpurn Dud-

key, Charles Joseph Schmeiz, Pho. Ber-
tram Stone William Augustus traitor,
Albert John Villain, PHO.
DR.. Cole then announced that the medi-
cal course hereafter would be four instead
of three years, and that the faculty hoped
soon, through the action of the last Assem-
bly, to be able to receive students in the
best-equipped buildings for the study of
medicine in this great land. Calling then
upon the students to stand, he admins
tered the Hippocratic oath, the newly
fiedged doctors solemnly pledging them
selves TO observe all the ethics Of the pro-
fession, to distinguish not between the rich
and the poor in their services. keep in
