Parts of United States Finish
Course at University of
Southern California

Sixteen cities in the United States
contributed their young men ant
women to the class which graduated
last night from the college of medi-
cine of the University of Southern
California. With the vociferous ap-
! plause of hundreds of friends, the
| graduates marched to the platform tc
receive their degrees conferred by
Rev E. A. Healy, A. NJ, D. D., presl-
dent of the board of trustees.
Musical selections, both classical
and patriotic were interspersed in the
program, among the numbers being
"Traumerei," and the sextette from
Lucia"
| Hon. N. P. Conrey delivered the ad-
! dress of the evening. taking for his
| subject "The Vision Splendid" Judge
| Conrey paid an eloquent tribute to
the physicians calling.
| He said, 1.-The physician!-the baby
! is sick; send for the physician.
Mother has worked and worried be-
yond her limits of endurance. and she
is delirious with fever-send for the
physician. Birth is opening the bars
of dawn, or death is about to seal the
gates of night send for the physician.
The machinery of industry or of trans
portation has broken down, and
MANNED, crushed bodies are gasping
for life; send physicians. A thousand
of our boys are going to war; send
with them some physicians. A hun-
dred thousand sons of freedom are
on yonder battlefield; send hundreds
of physicians. Ignorance, vice and
greed have endangered a city's health ;
clean up that city under the eyes of a
committee of physicians. The state
is lin danger of a plague, approaching
on invisible wings from a foreign
lahd set UP a quarantine and guard
our borders with the aid of skilled
physicians. Present knowledge is not
adequate to cope with the ravages
of some dread disease; equip your lab
9ratories, seek out the keenest minds
in the profession and commission
Them to find out the deep secrets of
mature.
No Laboratory Medicine
There are many medicines which
cannot be concocted in the labora-
tory One of these is the medicine of
optimism, happy spirit and a CHEEKY
mind.
1.-THE fountain of youth is not
myth. 1t has been found. 1t is not
a fountain of water, but fountain
of wisdom springing up in the stu
dent and washing away the dark
stains of disease. You students grad
uate from this school to enter the
school of experience, a school from
which no one graduates"
