K ' J Holmes has said that the world is divided into two classes. those who go ahead and do something. and those who sit and ask. YVl1y wasn't it done the other wayn? It is a pleasure. then. to write of a bunch of good fellows who are enthused with a real true college spirit. an altruistic. C. C. D. S. spiritfthe same spirit that. exerted in larger spheres. has placed our college in first rank-to write of men who are dis- tinctively leaders of the first of those classes to which I have referred. Did I say it was a pleasure?-Yes. it is. and yet I must admit that it is a task to which I hardly feel equal-that of adequately expressing an appreciation of the work of the editing board of the DENTOS. However. I will make the attempt. feeling that however short any eulogy of mine might come from doing them f'ul1 justice. yet the spirit and sentiment which inspires the attempt will have the support of the entire college membership, students. alumni and faculty. Few of us realize the magnitude of the task that confronts a committee in editing and assembling a book such as this. Ive are all glad to subscribe for a copy and with much interest we read the write-ups and enjoy the jokes. but how many of us con- sider-the reasons for its inception. the how and wherefore of its completion? The IJENTOS is first of all a valuable asset in placing the institution on the map as having more interests than that of 'plugging teeth . and in uniting more closely the ties between alumni and their Alma Mater. The successful production of the annual calls for men of brains. men of col- lege spirit. men of initiative. of fair-mindedness. men of altruistic tendencies. Have we men of this calibre in charge of the 191-L Dsxros? How about Ferguson. Blackstrom and Pudroch of the Freshman committee? We of the senior class know little of them personally. but a glance at the Ifreslnnan section will suf'l'lce.-and the comment will be. YVell done. Fl'6Sl1111E'1lll' Then there are .Iones and Guse of the Junior Class. Here we touch upon one of the greatest problems concerning the book.-the business. the financial end of it. Give the devil his dues is an old saying. and a good one. and for this reason I have no liesitancy in saying that without Guse. with his enthusiasm and determination. with his business ability tempered with diplomacy. this copy of the DENTOS could not have gone to print. YVell done. Guse. you have been justly honored by your election to the presidency of the class of 1915. The Senior Committee. it is hardly necessary for me to mention. YVe are all too well acquainted with IVirth. Olson. Preston. Yake and Yliiedderq wie are too familiar with their respective personalities. their ability. their capacities and desires for work to make any individual comment necessary. But I would be neglecting an opportunity if I did not state that the appointment. of Peoria with his stenographic abilities. with his habit of viewing seriously any duty assigned to him and making good , to a position on the Senior Committee was indeed a well advised, opportune move. and a fortunate one for the DENTOS. The production of a masterpiece requires a master mind. The production of this copy of DENTOS, surpassing. as it does. all previous efforts. and establishing a standard for future issues to emulate. requires a man of more than ordinary ability as the directing head. It requires a man capable of exercising firmness and diplomacy in the handling of his assistantsg a man entirely free from prejudice. thus insuring fairness and impartiality in all accepted contributions. a man well qualified along literary lines. a man capable of handling countless details as well as outlining general policies. a man with an unlimited capacity for work. and above all. a man who has a high regard for his college and his fellow students. who regards a student otlice as a college trust. and realizing his responsibilities. allows nothing to swerve him from the path of duty. .lust such a man is L.

So he buckled right in, with the trace of a grin On his face: lf he worried, he hid it. He went right ahead and tackled the thing That couldn't be done-and he did it. There were many to tell him it could not be doneg There were many to prophesy failure, There were many to point out to him, one hy one, The dangers that were to assail himg But he buckled right in with that Daniels grin, Then rounded up Guse and went to it. And he worked like h--- on that difficult thing ' That couldn't be done.-and he did it. Ere this book reaches the hands of its readers the members of the Class of '14, X or perhaps I had better say the more fortunate of us, will have graduated. A ' month or two and we will have scattered to all parts of the globe, but a perusal ot' these pages will bring back to us pleasant reminiscences of our college days. Let us as individuals keep up the spirit that we have manifested the past three years as a class. Let us at all times be governed by a spirit of optimism. Do not become discouragedf 'Cause yer porn-'lain far-in's get peevish like and break, Er 'cause a root you're pullin' on busts off up in the gum And makes the patient get quite sore an' say yer on the bum. Now what's the use of gettin' sore an' looking like yer mad It only makes the work you do, as a rule, come out bad,- Yer gold foil fllliIl'S don't work well, yer 'malgam gets all wet, Yer vulcanizin' comes out soft, yer cement won't even set, Er yer patient gits dissatisfied an' sulks about yer bill lfntil you git sore at yerselt, and just git blue an' ill. Then jist smile a good broad, healthy smile, not one that looks diseased, Smile so's the other feller knows that you are really pleased.
