to well equip laboratories, as is evident from the splendidly equipped laboratories of the University of Illinois. Of all these great unversities which have become not only great educational but als< important industrial factors within th< bounds of the states from which they receive their support, the University of Illinois stands among the first. Situated in the center of a great industrial population where trained men are always at a premium, its opportunities are bound le . It is bound to play an even more important part in the chemical development of th country in the future than it has in the past. With the man at the head, whom we have gathered here to-day to honor and bid a god-speed, I do not believe it is possible to predict too much for this university not only in purely didactic but also in industrial and applied chemistry. None of the branches of chemistry which must be taken up by this state university are new to him. He is the peer of Elliott or Bernsen in didactics and of Silliman and Chandler in industrial chemistry. No man in the whole country is better fitted to tak< up the broad lines of chemistry now demanded by the state university, I congratulate the University of Illinois and th< whole state in securing Dr. Noyes as si ami ard bearer, and with such coworkers Parr, Grindley, Bartow, Lincoln and Curtiss, this university will stand second to none of the State universities iu preparing young men and women for the work do "landed by fhis ival state and by tl whole nation.
