Valedictory Address. 
Ladies and Gentlemen: 
History teaches us that in the earlier ages, man required physical 
evidence of the operation of forces, before he could or would believe 
in their existence. It is only when communities become highly civ- 
ilized that they recognize and study the unseen forces of nature. 
In the formation of society, wealth, which can only be acquired 
by industry and frugality, must be accumulated before knowledge, 
the corner-stone, and in fact the whole foundation of civilization, can 
be secured. Before wealth is amassed, the people being engaged in 
obtaining a subsistence, have no leisure, and leisure is absolutely 
necessary for the advancement of knowledge, which is the progress 
of individuals and hence of society. With civilization and knowl- 
edge comes the power to fully appreciate the unseen forces of nature. 
The great foes to advancing civilization were ignorance and super- 
stition. Ignorance shrouded the minds of the ancients with a thick 
veil, which excluded for a long period the great moral and intellectual 
truths which learning has brought to light. 
Youth is always more superstitious than mature age—be it the 
youth of a nation or of an individual. This is undoubtedly owing 
to the undeveloped state of the mind. When any remarkable phe- 
nomenon occurs, the cause of which is not at once apparent, or 
which is inexplicable to the masses of the people, it is made an 
object of superstition. The ancients knew nothing of the nature of 
thunder and lightning, and hence their superstition concerning it. 
The Greeks and Romans considered lightning as the thunderbolt 
hurled by Jove, in his wrath, to the earth ; and in the Old Testament 
thunder is spoken of as the voice of the Lord. In our day many 6 
phenomena, formerly considered wonderful, are stripped of their 
imaginary terrors, by the knowledge of scientific truths which is pos- 
sessed by every school boy. 
“ Must helpless man, in ignorance sedate 
Roll darkling down the torrent of his fate?” 
Even religion, in the early ages of the world, was obliged to resort 
to forms and images, in order to convey to the mind an idea or 
just conception of its truths. So it is with the child or the untutored 
savage, we must still instruct them by means of the eye or other 
special senses. It is only after the mind becomes somewhat educa- 
ted that it can understand abstract truths. In the early forms of 
government it was not scientific ideas that controlled, but mere 
physical force. There was no other governing principle. Now, 
however, principles of right and justice are the main factors in all 
civilized countries. 
Up to the time of Hippocrates, 458 years before Christ, the prac- 
tice of medicine was mostly in the hands of midwives and ignorant 
persons, who possessed but little or no information on the subject. 
But from that time on, many advances were made, although many of 
Hippocrates’ erroneous views prevailed for a period of two thousand 
years. The uneducated practitioner of medicine had full sway until 
about the end of the fifteenth century, the time printing was dis- 
covered. 
In those days medicine and religion went hand in hand. The 
priest in the monastery joined to the study of the sacred writings of 
the day, a reading of all the medical treatises as they appeared, and 
frequently acted as physician both to the mind and body. There is 
no time, perhaps, when religious instruction makes such an impres- 
sion upon the mind, as when the penitent is prostrated with some 
form of acute illness. It is then that he heeds wise counsels, and 
bravely resolves to do better in the future, should his life be spared. 
Religion resorted to forms and images, medicine to the most nauseous 
and repulsive substances. ' 
In the early history of medicine we find that the crudest of sub- 
stances only were employed as remedies, because the people, totally 
uncivilized, required drugs that not only could be seen but the effects 
of which could be immediately felt. Even in Jenner’s day the 
beneficial effects of vaccination were denied, for a time, because the 
results were not immediately seen. Thus it was also with Hahnemann’s law of cure. Although 
Hippocrates and others had performed cures in accordance with it, 
centuries before Hahnemann’s time, they did not consider it of much 
importance, or the world had not become learned enough to accept 
a doctrine, so at variance with their preconceived ideas of the action 
of medicines. It was reserved for the Father of Homoeopathy to 
demonstrate, not only the existence of this law but its universal appli- 
cability. From the time of the announcement of the discovery, up 
to the time of his death, Hahnemann hardly experienced a peaceful 
hour. He was persecuted on all sides ; but persecution, as is ever 
the case, only served to strengthen the cause of the persecuted He 
was forced to move from place to place, but his adherents became 
more and more numerous, until he was well able to effectually battle 
with his opposers. The contest still continues, with the probability 
of a grand victory at its termination, in favor of the universal accept- 
ance of this law of cure. 
Homoeopathy is based on scientific principles capable of actual 
demonstration, but the untutored savage and the prejudiced observer 
will not yet admit its truths. The system is still in its infancy, but 
shows a healthy growth Like all scientific truths, which in their 
incipiency have had to stand the storms of violent and prejudiced 
opposition, it has bravely buffeted them and has fought its way into 
general favor, which is one of the best evidences of its -truth. 
Its effects, however, have not been confined to our school of prac- 
tice, but it has greatly improved and modified other existing systems 
of medicine, in the adoption by them of many of its mild and simple 
remedies, and the discontinuance of the former heroic and bloody 
treatment. For this alone humanity should be grateful to Hahne- 
mann, if for no other reason. We must not overlook, however, the 
greater intelligence of the people of this century, which made such a 
radical change in medical treatment possible. 
Some very wise prophets have lately predicted the speedy downfall 
of Homoeopathy ; these predictions have been made from time to time 
during the last fifty years by very prominent physicians, but they have 
proved themselves false prophets. Our house is built upon the rock 
of truth, and not upon the shifting sands of error. 
In order to correctly estimate the rapid growth of our system of 
medicine, it is only necessary to refer to the Homoeopathic Colleges 
of this country. Six years ago the number of students attending 
these institutions was about five hundred. The present winter there 8 
are nearly twelve hundred. Your alma mater three years ago had 
but ninety matriculants, the present winter session she has about one 
hundred and ninety, an increase of over one hundred per cent.; 
an increase which places her at the head of the list. Candidly, 
does not this look very much as if Homoeopathy was dying out? 
A certain town in Iowa, eight years ago, supported ten regular phy- 
sicians and one Homoeopath, or irregular. To-day it supports five 
irregulars and barely sustains four regulars. You will doubtless 
observe that the number of physicians has diminished by two, and 
yet the town is a growing one and very much larger now than at that 
time, a proof positive that not only are the people intelligent, but an 
evidence also of the fact frequently stated, that as a community 
adopts Homoeopathic practice, the amount of illness necessarily 
diminishes. The patron of Homoeopathy is not as liable to frequent 
attacks of sickness as the patron of other schools, who is a walking 
medicine chest, a sort of receptacle for all kinds of compounds, new 
and old. 
Another fact may be mentioned as evidence that we are not on 
the decline, or retrograding as rapidly as the prophets would have 
us believe, and that is the constantly increasing number of regular 
physicians, who come to us every winter to learn something about 
this mysterious system of cure, which even in the hands of an edu- 
cated layman, seems to relieve cases which have baffied the skill of 
the most talented anti-Homceopath. 
The present century has developed more great minds in the in- 
ventive line than any other, and the honor of these inventions 
belongs principally to the Americans, who have always proved them- 
selves not less, if not more, intelligent than any other nation on the 
face of the globe. Robert Fulton, the inventor of the steamboat, 
Oliver Evans, the first to apply steam to carriages, Prof. Morse of 
telegraphic fame, and later, Edison, Gray, and others, have all added 
materially, not only to the wealth and learning of the country but to 
its comfort. We cannot claim to have discovered Homoeopathy, but 
we can claim with justice that it is here in the most civilized country 
in the world—here among the most energetic and talented men—that 
it makes its most rapid progress. 
You have this evening received the highest gift we can bestow, 
the degree of doctor of medicine and surgery, an honor which you 
have nobly labored for and justly merited. From a personal ac- 
quaintance with each member of the class I have no fear that you 9 
will disgrace your alma mater. Many of you have burned the mid- 
night oil in your earnest search for knowledge, and remember that 
the lamp must still burn if you would keep pace with the rapid 
advancement of science. Bear in mind that during your college 
days you have simply laid the foundation of a medical education. 
To rear the superstructure will require years of hard labor. Chem- 
istry, which has been one of your studies, requires, according to 
the best authorities, fourteen years hard work to thoroughly master. 
So it is with other branches or divisions of medicine; and 
whichever department you choose as your special field of labor will 
require all of your time for the next ten or twelve years, and even 
then you will not be perfect. 
No one correctly estimates the knowledge he does not possess, and 
he who knows absolutely nothing of the science of medicine, usually 
considers it an acquirement easily and quickly picked up by any one 
of ordinary ability. Nearly every old woman considers herself a 
natural born physician, and not one has any hesitancy in prescribing 
for any case, no matter how serious, which may chance to fall in her 
way. And such persons cannot possibly appreciate the wide differ- 
ence between an educated physician, who thoroughly understands 
his business and the mere pretender. Compared with medicine law 
and theology are sciences for children. In no other profession is 
the counsellor required to give an immediate opinion, without 
recourse to authorities, and in no other is he held to as strict an 
accountability. The graduate of a well regulated medical college 
may not be a good physician; the man who does not hold a diploma 
can not be, for medicine is not a science that can be self-taught. 
You go forth as Homoeopathic physicians and surgeons, and at 
this time will not meet with the bitter opposition and sneers that so 
many of your predecessors have. There is a gentlemen on this 
platform to-night, who, not very many years ago, was the only Hom- 
oeopathic physician west of Lake Michigan. His was a hard fight, 
but he bravely bore it, and as the result of this contest we now find 
about two thousand physicians of our faith practicing in this same 
region. Quite an increase in less than forty years. 
Your prospects are unusually bright at this time, when many of 
the smaller towns and villages of the west are loudly calling for 
Homoeopathic physicians to come and settle in them. And we must 
not forget the south, where the mild dose achieved so much during 
the yellow fever epidemic. You will be received in many of these 10 
southern cities and towns with open arms, for the people, bearing in 
mind the comparative success of the new school, have finally opened 
their eyes to the truth, and no longer require medicine in bulk as 
curative measures. 
It is customary on occasions like the present, to offer a few words 
of advice, to those who are about to leave us for their future fields of 
labor—advice which is frequently no sooner heard than it is forgotten. 
You to-day sever your connection with us as students, and enter 
the portals of professional life. Your earnest desire, doubtless, is 
to attain success. If you have no real love for your profession ; if 
you are not actuated by the highest motives; if you have chosen 
medicine simply as a means of money making, you have mistaken 
your calling, and will make a miserable failure. You should show 
this liking for your profession by enthusiasm and promptness in 
being ready to respond to all calls, whether for public service or 
private individuals. What we love to do, whether good or evil, 
influences oilr every action. But I am satisfied, from the earnest 
manner in which you have applied yourselves to your studies, by 
your patience in overcoming all the difficulties in your path, by your 
uniformly gentle manner to the suffering poor brought before you in 
the clinics, that you are actuated by the right spirit. 
It is stated that success is attained by about five hundred out of 
every thousand medical students. How shall you secure it? By 
paying attention to the habits and customs of those about you, so 
that you may copy the good and avoid the evil. It is the “ little 
drops of water that make the mighty ocean,” and it is the attention 
paid to the little points of etiquette, combined with knowledge, that 
makes the successful physician. Dignified manners with scientific 
attainments will secure even the respect of your enemies. Unfortun- 
ately the world looks at and judges the man as he appears, notwith- 
standing the good book says, “ Judge not according to appearance.” 
“Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, 
But not express’d in fancy ; rich not gaudy; 
For the apparel oft proclaims the man.” 
Slovenliness is inexcusable in one who is brought to the bedside 
of the sick, for patients are always more or less irritable and disposed 
to find fault with but little cause, and you should not in any way add 
to their ill-humor. Untidiness, a careless word, an innocent jest, 
frequently give rise to feelings of repugnance. Neatness of person 
and surroundings is an essential both at home and in contact with 
society. 11 
During your college life you have acquired habits of industry. 
Do not now, that you have finished your course, cast aside these 
habits. Improve each shining hour, be diligent and do not waste 
the precious hours in idleness and immoral society. The lounger 
about the saloon or other public places, soon loses the confidence of 
the community in which he lives, and failure is the inevitable result. 
You are all familiar with the couplet about the devil and idle 
hands. 
Be prompt; nothing so characterizes the man who has little to 
do as the habit of being invariably behind time. Although the inten- 
tion frequently is to convey the idea that one is greatly driven with 
work, it deceives but few, and the really busy man knows better; 
he thoroughly understands the real value of time, and would not be 
guilty of the crime of robbing his fellow men of what cannot be 
replaced. Stolen money can be restored, stolen time never. 
Do not procrastinate—the duties of to-day should be completed 
to-day. To-morrow never comes. Be charitable to all, and 
especially to the poor and the outcasts of society, who are often 
truly grateful for the slight favors bestowed upon them. “All 
mankind’s concern is charity,” and especially the physician’s. He it 
is who is constantly contributing his mite, constantly relieving some 
sufferer, constantly making some weary one happy, and'in the end 
this charity will cover a multitude of sins. 
Be courteous to all. A word, a kind action, a smile, cost nothing, 
and are like “ bread cast upon the waters,” and may, in the near 
future, help “worth, by poverty depressed,” to rise. Avoid selfishness, 
it is generally the mark of a low bred person, one who has had but 
little to do with his fellow men, and frequently goes hand in hand 
with envy and jealousy. 
Be contented and hopeful. Contentment brings happiness, 
which is, after all, the great desire of the human race. You will 
see many dark days, but if you are buoyed up by hope, and strive to 
win the respect of the community, you will assuredly succeed. 
“Care to our coffin adds a nail, no doubt, 
And every grin, so merry, draws one out.” 
Whereas a certain amount of assurance and self-esteem are a 
necessity, they should never be allowed to reach the point of conceit. 
The very noisy man in the community—the one who writes letters 
to the newspapers on every subject under the sun—the one who is 12 
constantly being mentioned in one way and another, is usually a 
very hollow vessel, and contains at most nothing but air. 
Be true to your name—physician. The ability to relieve suffering 
humanity, and to prevent disease, has, in every age of the world, 
been regarded as an attribute almost godlike. Do all in your power 
to instruct the people how to avoid disease, and when sick, labor to 
the best of your ability for their relief and recovery. Homoeopathy 
has fallen into disrepute only where incompetent persons have 
attempted to practice it, or when the palliatives and sudorifics 
of old physic have been combined with it. See to it that it is 
popular in your neighborhood. Let your motto, and your only 
motto, be— 
Never sacrifice principle for gold. The A nnual Report. 
R. LUDLAM, M. D., Dean of the Faculty. 
In offering the nineteenth Annual Report of the Hahnemann 
Medical College ana Hospital, of Chicago, it affords me great 
pleasure to submit the following facts: The College year has been, 
in all respects, a very prosperous one. The teachers have been 
united, harmonious, punctual and faithful; the pupils earnest, 
hearty, diligent and appreciative. The policy of our Board of Trustees 
not to promise such advantages as we could not really afford has 
been literally fulfilled. Without exception every lecture engagment 
has been kept; and not a day has passed without its Clinic. The 
courses of instruction given have been much more practical and 
thorough than ever before, and with the improved advantages offered, 
our pupils have reached a higher grade of attainment. 
As a College our financial condition is sound; and the Hospital 
management has recently paid a large share of the mortgage on its 
property, and renewed its obligations with the same parties, without 
change of security, and at a reduced rate of interest. The interest 
on its paper is paid for a year to come, and the institution does not 
owe a dollar. 
The last Spring Term, which, as always before,was anon-graduat- 
ing one, was attended by 60 students. The design of this Course in 
giving the pupils the benefit of the didactic lectures, examinations 
and a clinical drill, was thoroughly carried out. It has been decided 
to repeat it this year. 
The number of students in actual attendance during the Winter 
Term just closed was 197, of which 162 were men and 35 were 
women. This shows that within the last three years there has been 
an increase of more than one hundred per cent, in the size of the 
class. Not the least gratifying feature of this remarkable growth is 
Mr. President : 14 
the increased proportion of Eastern students who have come 
hither for instruction. All of the New England and of the Middle 
States were represented in the list of matriculants for 1878-79. 
Of those who presented themselves as candidates for graduation, 
65 have been found worthy, and by the unanimous vote of my 
excellent and faithful colleagues in the Faculty, they are herewith 
recommended for the degree which you, Sir, with all of your experi- 
ence, have never bestowed upon a better Class. President’s Address. 
A. E. SMALL, M. A., M. D. 
Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen: 
We are assembled tnis evening to witness the termination of the 
nineteenth annual course of instruction in Hahnemann Medical 
College and Hospital, of Chicago, and for celebrating the anniver- 
sary “ Commencement ” of a new era in the lives of some of the 
students, who have passed through an honorable pupilage, and shown 
themselves worthy of introduction into the profession of medicine 
and surgery. 
The occasion is one in which society and the publie in general 
must feel the deepest interest. After many months and years of 
hard study, both in and out of the lecture room, they have attained 
an eminence in learning that cannot fail of receiving your sanction 
and respect. To gain this distinction they have consumed much 
midnight oil, while some indeed have outwatched the Pleiades, and 
often seen the grey dawn come to extinguish the pale flicker of 
their waning lamps. They have thus made themselves familiar with 
the details of ancient and modern medical science, even to the 
latest discoveries and improvements that adorn the skill of the pro- 
fession, and after a careful and rigid examination their teachers have 
pronounced them worthy candidates for the doctorate, and take 
great delight in commending them to the favorable consideration of 
all intelligent communities. 
The degree about to be conferred attests them truly as learned 
in medicine; that is, learned to that point which will enable them 
safely and profitably to practice the art of the physician. 
They leave their alma mater to find homes in the heart of society, 
and we trust they will both merit and receive the fostering care and 16 
kindness of troops of sympathizing friends, who will open avenues 
and surround them with opportunities for the highest religious and 
social culture. 
Candidates for Graduation : 
You are now approaching a crisis in your existence. The first 
great probationary period has been accomplished, and you are about 
to pass, by a single step, from youth to manhood, and from the pleas- 
ures of professional studies to the labors and responsibilities of 
professional life. We listened with great pleasure to the report of 
the Dean, and we congratulate you for your successful examination 
and grade of scholarship. We rejoice that your clinical advantages 
have made you so familiar with sickness, misery and distress that you 
can enter the apartments of the sick without embarrassment, to make 
a ready administration for relief. But your studies are not finished. 
If faithful to your calling, they are little more than commenced, and 
will terminate only with your lives. That distinguished patriot and 
reputed father of American medicine once heard one of his pupils 
boasting what he would do when he had completed his studies. “ My 
young friend,” was the gentle admonition, “ I have been studying 
these fifty years and have not yet seen any prospect of completing 
mine.” You have been studying for a personal object, and now you 
must study for the benefit of others. You will study to relieve 
suffering humanity found in all classes of society. You will study 
to enoble your calling by a correct code of ethics, and by sustaining 
a common brotherhood in the profession. List of Matriculants.
