28 I t has made it possible to turn to man's servi the wealth of the mineral world. By analysis of plants and soils, the waste materials of the world have been brought to the growing of crops. Indeed, every great industry, whether it be farming, manufacturing, transportation or mining, would almost immediately relapse to barbarism if the secrets of the chemist and physicist, the geologist and mineralogist, could be gathered up and cast into the sea. This estimate of the work of the research chemist has our hearty sympathy and it brings much of inspiration and encouragement. It justifies all that the rulers and legislators have done for this and similar institutions and loudly calls for generous support in the future. It expresses appreciation of the work done in this university, which has made such magnificent progress under the direction of its present very efficient head and the splendid promise for its immediate future. All here present will, I am sure, heartily join me in wishing for the university and for its department of chemistry no diminution of the splendid prosperity which has attended tlie efforts of its e cellent administration in tlie recent past, WILLIAM MCMIUTKII:
