Excerpt from The Chicago Medical Journal, 1872 Dr. J. W. Freer, President of the institution, delivered a brief charge to the class, which contained much sensible advice. He said: Gentlemen of this graduating class: The highest honors of this institution, by which you are initiated into the medical fraternity, have now been conferred upon you. The testimonials which you bear away will be respected by the intelligent public as so many assurances of your learning, skill, and scientific attainments. Your future conduct must determine how well you have deserved these tokens at the hands Of your Alma Mater. It is customary on such occasions as this to address the young alumni with friendly words of advice and admonition, with the hope and expectation that their future conduct as physicians and citizens may thereby be in u enced for good. It is also a time-honored custom to expatiate largely upon the sacredness Of our calling. We have no Objections to this when appropriate and opportune. But in this instance, knowing as we do, by personal intercourse, the superior degree of intelligence and high moral tone of the present graduating class, we deem it quite unnecessary to try their patience with a long list Of the benefits to be derived from the practice of virtue, temper ance, benevolence and industry.
