lieve we are to reach our fullest de.
/ velopment elsewhere than in America.
More than three centuries ago we left
behind us the environment of the land
from which our fathers came and to
which we could naturally return should
emigration obtain.
with torn hands and bleeding feet
we have gone forward with the weary
load and heavy heart on American
soil to degree truly inspiring to our
friends.
Remember that the achievements
of the past are an earnest of the pos
sibilities of the future, and that no
man of impartial view can honestly
predict other than our final success.
Those elements of progress which
have brought success, despite unto
ward conditions, are but the elements
exhibited by the white race in Ameri.
ca, which have given to them a civili
cation today the wonder of the ages.
So then, | repeat to you, 90 forward
in your efforts, in your labors for a
trusting, confiding people; for it is but
to give impetus to their development,
eventuating into a final triumph, is
but to contribute nightly to the prog
ress of American civilization.
Then, members of the graduating
class, go heal the sick, the halt and
the blind. so that it may be said of
you as it was said of Hippocrates, the
great father of medicine, His was the
ambition which sought the aggran-
dizement of self in encompassing the
happiness of others; his the wished
for glory, whose throne was contem.
porary gratitude, and whose crown the
blessings of after ages"

ceived at times with applause and at
