their last year of study to a close last
evening. The class exercises were held in
the university hall, and the occasion was
marked by the presentation of a life-sze
portrait of Charles f. Munroe, professor of
chemistry. to the university. The presen-
tation was made by the members of the
faculty and the students, and was an evil
dence of the esteem and admiration in
which Prof. Munroe is held by his CO.
workers and his pupils.
The occasion was in the nature of love
feast but it had its sorrows as well as
joys. for it dated the parting of many COM
raGes who had been close friends during
their years of school life Side by side the
students had struggled and conquered the
d:fflcult problems of science. Their asso-
citation had been most pleasant throughout.
Last evening class souvenirs were dis
tributed by Francis r. Weller which will
doubtless be always cherished, surrounded
by memories of school work and fun. The
hall was handsomely decorated for the oc-
casion.

Accepted by DIR. Whitman.
The portrait of Prof Munroe was pre-
scented by n. Munroe Hopkins of the Dis
trict of Columbia. who conducted the sub
scription to its purchase. with the assist
ance of Miss 5. West of the junior class
The portrait is the work of Emil H. Meyer
and is quite handsome piece of work the
resemblance to the original being all that
could be desired. DIR. =. l.. Whitman, pres
lGent of the university. accepted the Dor
trait from the Corcoran School on behalf of
the parent institution. He congratulated
the class and students of the school with all
his heart upon the suspicious occasion
saying their course mad been memorial in
many ways. Not the least were the events
croWning the closing days of their college
Continuing. DR. Whitman said:
"Ion graduate by far the largest class in
the history of the scientific school OF
course, il Is also by far the best class You
have inaugurated class day exercises for
your school. The service just performed
by your representative is unique in the his
tory of the school. 1t is wise saying that
the builders of memorials measure them
selves. The statue, the building the paint
ing we make to memoria1ize a man a
movement declares to the world not simply
the Importance of the man or the move
ment, but the IarSeness or the smallness
of our own souls as indicated by our APP
probation of what is going on within US
and about us. 1t is no slight thing that the
first public memorial established by a grad
Lating class of the scientific school takes
the form of a portrait Of one who is re-
s3ected and loved by every student in the
school. The untiring zeal of DIR. Munroe,
his unfalling courtesy, his charming per-
sonality, his warm interest in the we'll
being of every colleague and every student
er and a friend 1t is a worthy thing that
you have put yourselves on record as so far
approaching sound scholarship and manly
Chris ian character that you have made it
possible for a portrait of DR.. Munroe to
adorn the walls of the university, to be an
inspiration and a help TO all who come in
and go out. In the name of the university
| am glad to accept your offering"
