THE GRADUATES OF PHARMACY.
LRING the last few weeks, perhaps a thousand or more graduates in pharmacy have been given their certificates of proficiency from the schools which they attended during the past two years or more. Next, the boards of pharmacy will pass on the fitness of these candidates for pharmaceutical practice, and then they accept positions in stores or go into business for themselves.
Il'hat energies are active in shaping pharmacy ? Are pharmacists, physicians, manufacturers or patrons, leading influences, all of them separately, jointly, or by chance? Are the environments of pharmacy changing? How are they being constructed-according to method and forethought, or without concern and direction?
The foregoing are some of the thoughts that possibly occupied the minds of those who addressed the graduates, soliciting them not to be absorbed so intently in their own success as to be unmindful of a responsibility to pharmacy and a duty to the institutions which provided opportunities for pharmaceutical education. Unselfish desire to be of service to others does not always enter into calculations, though really it is the greatest and highest quality of success.
Pharmacy may be regarded as a composite votary, and the usefulness depends upon all who are engaged in and for it; more than that, for human consciousness creates ideals and the past has labored for the possibilities we have to-day. The knowledge of the past will profit us little unless we acquire wisdom along with it, so that proper use of knowledge may be made and applied for our improvement.
" Knowledge and Wisdom, far from being one, Have ofttimes no connection. Knowledge dwells In heads replete with thoughts of other men; Wisdom, in minds attentive to their own. Knowledge, a rude, unprofitable mass, The mere materials with which Wisdom builds, Till smoothed apd squared and fitted to its place, Does but encumber whom it seems to enrich. Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much. Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.
