Excerpt from The Medical Chronicle, Or, Montreal Monthly Journal of Medicine Surgery, Vol. 3: Licet Omnibus, Licet Nobis Dignitatem Artis Medic? Tueri
Not with reluctance most certainly, but with hesitation, have I consented and with diffidence do I undertake to address you to-day; inasmuch as I am conscious that gratulation and counsel would come with more grace and higher authority from others of your late teachers; yet I felt that I could not with propriety have refused the call of the Dean of our Faculty, and for this then, with the full knowledge of my disqualification, I take part in the ceremony of your graduation.
A ceremony at once of joyous and grave interest to the parties interested, yourselves and us; joyous to both, for you have passed a long period of study, varied and multiform, and have now received the academic degree which is the reward of its successful termination; to us, for we conceive that our tuition has conduced towards the happy result; grave on the other hand it is, for while we rejoice, we, who have for months daily watched and measured, and perhaps helped to develope your faculties - we know full well the anxieties of the life which is before you, and we cannot regard your entrance into the social struggles for position without solicitude; for in reality our interest in you does not cease with your examination and the crowning events of to-day; - on the contrary we hope that our appreciation of your abilities, and our anticipations of your success, will not be disappointed; and that the recognition of your capacity by others than ourselves, will fully bear out our estimation of you.
