The Valcdictory was delivered Dr.. dr.
Harold Flske. 1t was an able effoi'. the
substance OF which was as follows:
THE VALEDICTORY.
Mr.. President Ladies and Gentlemen.
The duty which devolves upon me to per-
form this evening in behalf Of my fellow
graduates and myself is one of mingled
pleasure and sadness.
Pleasurable from the fact that at last
patience and faithful application on the
part OF our instructors and ourselves
nave met their just reward, and placed
us In position with weapons at our com
mana whereby we can combat disease
ana death on the broad field of lifes war
fare, with confident hope of DESTROYING
the one and defeating the other. And
what can be more pleasurable than to
possess the power to assuage suffering
and sorrow.
And instead Of anguish and despair
10 place relief and hope in the hands of
our fcllowmen, bringing them out from
the clouds, and the darkness of misery
t. renewed interest in the enioyments
of life.
The sadness results from severing of
these ties Of respect, admiration, and
sincere friendship which have been form
ed during the past few years.
And who is there among us who is not
touched by feeling of sadness at the
thought that in spite of pleasant associa-
ton and friendship we must say to all
Farewell.
To you gentlemen of the CORPORATION
who have so nobly aided by your unceasing
efforts. ] wish to add our words of thank
full appreciation to those which have al
ready been uttered by our predecessors
and to those which will in coming years
be expressed by our innumerabe success
sors
To the Faculty of the medical depart
mcnt of the U. V. NJ / wish to say that
while ! feel inadequate to iittingly express
the thoughts which this occasion engen-
ders, yet | hope and trust that some spark
of eloquence from your teaching will fire
in me train Of thought which will ena-
BILE me to express that gratitude and affec-
ton which we as students cherish toward
you and which from now on will merge
into the strongest fraternal friendship.
To the Citizens of Burlington / wish
to extend our heartfelt thanks which is
anything but an adequate discharge of the
debt of gratitude which has been imposed
upon us by your universal kindness and
the deep interest constantly shown in
our welfare during our stay in this beauti-
full city.
TO those who are yet striving to over
come those obstacles which we have so
lately surmounted ! would speak a few
words of counsel and encouragement
Continue to show that kindness and cour-
esy to each other which has already II
laily intercourse and which in after life
you will recall as one of your most pleas
mt memories.
And remember that the fair name of our
