ical vale~dictorian and took for his sub
ject "The Evolution of the Physician"
Such e~loquence, such oratory, so much
sincere and profound declarations, has
not been heard at the commencement
exercises in the history of the school.
He vas easily the star of the occasion.
He got out from the archives of an
cient history the records of the pio-
neers in medicine. He showed by his
beautiful and masterful illustrations
how the physician had evoluted from
the mere medicine man. to the latest
and most scientific stages, such as ex-
list to-day. He captivated his audi
ence, and more than once the audi
ence interrupted him with a vigorous
applause. Mr.. Bryan was stern and
dispassionate in his delivery. In con-
GLIDING he paid a high tribute to the
class, the faculty and last, but not
least, to the citizens of Nashville.
The chorus, "Thou, o Lord, Art Our
Father" (Sullivan) sung by the Choral
Society and played by the orchestra,
was one of the most beautiful selec-
tons of the evening.
AT the conclusion of this, Dean Hub
bard announced that DR.. Kuhmler,
President of Walden University, would
award the diplomas. DR.. Kuhmler
then presented the medical depart
ment with seventy-ive, the dental with
eleven, the pharmaceutical with eight
and the nurse training with two di-
Nlomas. He was assisted by Drs. r.
R. Boyd, F. A. Stewart and Dean Hub
bard. Just at this point the following
were awarded medals and prizes. R.

Lewis, of Tennessee, e. B. Wallace, of
Georgia, ]. J.. Pickens, of Alabama, w.
H. Lynch, of West Indies, N. T. Walls,
Of Arkansas, and N. T. Cottenn, of
Colorado. DR.. Hubbard announced
that there were a large number of
presents but they would not be given
out until after the program was con-
Guided, but he had a few special Of
ferings which were sent by letter to
him and which he wished to hand
out. C. H. Wheeler, of Mississippi, re-
ceived a check for $250.00 from his
mother. Mr.. Tucker, of British Hon
duras, received a check for 100000.
from his father. MIR. Clyde w. Lee,
also from Mississippi, received a check
for 100000. A check for $4,000 was
presented to w. S. Martin, of Mem
phis, Tenn, from relatives.
DR.. Hubbard then introduced the
| speaker for the occasion. On the in
PRODUCTION of "The Wizard of Tuske-
gee" he said, "We feel honored to-
| night to have with us DR.. Booker T.
Washington, who has kindly consented
to deliver an address to u gradual
ing class. DR.. Washington's school is
the best known in the South, and bet
ter known than any of the leading
schools Of the North. His reputation
as an educator is not confined to any
country. It is an international one.
DR.. Washington will speak to you"
A loud demonstration by the audience
was INDUCED in. Mr.. Washington then
spoke in that cool, unequivOcal man
ner which is so characteristic of him.
His subject, "The individual, not the
race problem" was timely, logical and
very appropriate for the occasion. 1t
was mingled with humOr and good adj
vice to the graduates.
Presents and prizes were then pre-
sented to the large class. Over $1,250
in cash was recorded.
Some very prominent visitors were
noted on the platform, together with
the Alumni Association of the Mehar-
ry Medical College. The music, rem
dered by the orchestra under the di-
rection of Miss Braden, was superb.
The ushers were very competent.
They saw to it that the large audience
was comfortably seated and that nc
one vas allowed to find a seat without
their aid. E. T. Belsaw was chief ush.
