DIR. Counsel.
To the class DR.. Brewer said:
II congratulate you on entering the
ranks of one of the noblest Of professions.
You will make the blind to see, the deaf
to hear, the lame to walk; it will be your
blessed privilege to labor for the good Of
mankind. Man most resembles the gods
In his ability to do good to his fellow
creatures. 1t is YOU duty to help those
In suffering and to help also by being
teachers of the laws of health. While you
are praying God for your daily bread, you
must at the same time teach your clients
how to keep well. What is more noble
than the profession of medicine?'
The speaker then dwelt on the Old-time
and present conditions of insanity, bu-
bonic plague and smallpox, and told how
the profession has brought comparative
Immunity by the marvellous progress Of
surgery and. the increase of learning.
But the schools are multiplying too
rapidly and none should be allowed to con-
tinue which is not affiliated with some
university" he said. They should be
properly endowed, as medical education
properly, carried on is at great expense.
Laymen, consider your responsibilities and
see that this school has proper endowment
so that 1t can do original research work,
which will confer inestimable benent on
you and your posterity. Place this school
on the same footing as the great eastern
schools"
The doctor closed with some useful ad-
vice to the class as to the duties TO self,
patients and the public.
