Wwww - ,-My at rl X fi .ggsl SOPHOMORE DINNER DANCE. F the many social functions given by the classes of the Loyola University Medical Department, the dinner dance of l9l4, held by the class of l9l6, was far the most brilliant and successful. The class and faculty assembled in the famous C-old Room of the Hotel LaSalle. where a sumptuous dinner was served. The honorary president, Dr, A. B. Rankin, presided as toast-master, and his genial humor enlivened the evening for all. Program as follows: University ...... john Louis Mathery, S. J., Henry S. Spaulding, S. Faculty .... ................................ C arl E. Boyer Response. . . .Dr. Maximilian Herzog Ladies.. ....... Dr. Leo Steiner Response. . ..... Dr. Otto C. Huber Reading . . . ........... Mary Holmes Class ....... ......,.. .....,... D r . Frank Marion Horstman Response ..................,.............,..... R. H. George Each number of the program was given admirably, and all present did ample justice to the repast. After the subsidance of cheers and class yells, we were ushered into the C-rand Ball Room, where the remainder of the evening was enjoyed in dancing. As the last strains of Home, Sweet Home were resounded through the Ball Room, the class departed, each one vowing that this was the best dinner-dance that they had ever attended. Dr. Henry F. Lewis opened his home the First and third Sunday evenings of De- cember and january, to the members of the junior class. Many of the juniors took ad- vantage of this open house and spent very enjoyable evenings. Dr. Lewis and his wife and family welcomed all very heartily, and all enjoyed themselves. IEI4

L iM NEW ERA is dawning for Bennett Medical College. The alumni, students and faculty have no reason to be ashamed of her past, but all should rejoice in the glorious prospects of her future. On June first, I9I5, Loyola University takes over full control of the college, which becomes as much the medical department of the University as are those departments of the University of illinois or Northwestern Uni- versity. There is no doubt that the develcpment of all first-class medical schools must be in direct connection with universities. An academic at- mosphere is necessary. The prestige of a great university is necessary. Honors and indispensable endowments can reasonably be expected only through university connections. Loyalty to Bennett should be increased because of its organic union with Loyola. More is constantly being expected from medical schools than in the past and more will be expected in the future. The public is demand- ing better education of its doctors of medicine. They must verily be doctors -learned. just as men constitute a state, so students constitute a school. Loyalty to Bennett and to Loyola cannot better be shown than by efforts to get good students for the medical school. The increasing requirements both for entrance and for graduation will, for a time. tend to reduce the numbers of students in our classes unless con- centrated effort is put forth to obtain students. If each student now in col- lege brought one acceptable new student the present membership would in- crease three-fold. If each teacher in Bennett brought one student, the membership would not decrease. If each alumnus brought one student the halls would not hold the host of them. Let each of us try to get at least one student. We can now talk to prospective students with greater hope and greater sense of conviction than ever before. Loyola is solid and its solidity will solidify Bennett. HENRY F. LEWIS, M. D. 15045
