Marianas Qlumni Zlssnriatiun CHICAGO COLLEGE OF DENTAL SURGERY President, P. G. PUTERBAUGH Secretary, A. H. MUELLER Treasurer, NV. FORD Did it ever occur to you, who are about to graduate, who are about to pass the State Board, and who are upon the threshhold of your life's work, what a wonderful thing your old school has been to you? Did it ever occur to you, who have been out on life's rough highway for several years battling your way along upon the stormy way of Dentistry, just how much you owe to your dear old Alma Mater? VV'hen a child first starts to walk the knowledge that its motherls arms are near to save it from hurtful falls gives it courage. In after years when a man is out on his own, the knowledge that he still has his mother back of him inspires him to do greater things. So it is that you who are learning to take your first few steps must feel that your rnotherly old C. C. D. S. is behind you, watching each step, and ready to aid you when you fall. You older men, who have been away from home for years, your Alma Mater takes pride in you, in your achievements and in your accomplishments, just as a mother takes pride in her son's progress. How much better it is then to keep in touch with the folks at home. Let them know of your conquests and achievements. NVrite to them often, or, better still, drop in on them occasionally and cheer their old hearts with your visit. In order to do this best, join the Alumni Chapter, the great big family of children, and grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who have graduated before you. And if you can't drop in often, because your work is too far afield, come back for the reunion once a year and mix it up with your older and younger brethren. It is, indeed, a privilege to belong to such a family and it means much to the son, who has labored faithfully, that he might come in closer association with his brethren who personify the highest ideals of the profession. The Alumni Association meets at stated intervals for mutual counsel and social intercourse. These meetings are at once pleasant and profitable, in that they revive and continue pleasant memories, stimulate the exchange of profes- sional views and renew the old bonds of brotherhood and friendship.

S I Fttljentnsf -2- - hituriallp An article appeared in the Chicago American under the heading General Education, in which it spoke of dentists as not being leading citizens. This article was very appropriately answered by Dr. E. R. Butts of this city. He men- tioned some of the prominent men in the profession: Dr. Truman Brophy, who shines above any of the prominent medical men as a great oral surgeon, Col. XV. H. G. Logan, oral surgeon, who served as head of the dental department in the army during the late warg Dr. Bosworth, who was president of the Illinois Athletic Club last year, Dr. C. N. Johnson and Dr. P. Buckley, who are yery line public speakers. In dentistry one comes in contact with all classes of people, There is no better opportunity in any other profession, unless perhaps that of medicine, to meet and study the different characters of society and the world in which we live. This is in itself an education which counts for much, both in one's social and pro- fessional life. One would indeed be very dense who would not be benefited by such an acquaintance and learn to select and cultivate the friendship of worth while people. Such a profession and acquaintance creates in a man the desire to be a citizen of his community and country to whom we may point with pride. Zin Qppreniatiun Few, if any, of us realize the work, the energy, the thought, time and worry that must be expended in editing a book of this nature. As the old hawkers used to say at the County Fair grounds, You pay your money and take your choice. Along in January or February a committee comes before us in class and we subscribe for a book. After that is done we settle back in our rut and tackle our educational problems, content with the thought that we have done our part in producing this year's DENTOS. Occasion- ally the committee in charge of the work meets the class to drum up more sub- scriptions or to ask for more material but, on the whole, our daily life runs smoothly onward, unruffled or untouched by worry over the production. of the book. VVe know that along in the Spring THE DENTLUS will be published. XYe have paid or, at least, promised to pay our subscription, and that, to us, is all that is necessary. That, I suppose, is as it should be. A committee has been appointed to look after those things, so let them worry over the details. Too many cooks spoil the broth, you know, yet the cook could not produce much broth if it were not for the grocer, the butcher, the baker and the farmer back of him. And so I am afraid we sometimes rest upon our oars too much and expect the cook not only to cook the broth but to,raise the meat and the vegetables, bring it to market, prepare it for the pot' and then, when it is done, serve it to us upon a silver platter. Even the best of cooks, you know, is allowed at least a second cook. and it is the business of the second cook to wash and peel the spuds, chop the meat and keep the pot boiling. Fortunately for the chief cook of this potpourri, he has had a yery competent staff of second cooks, but he is very shy on grocers and butchers, bakers and gardeners. Consequently it has fallen to the lot of the cooks and second cooks Ijtlgt' 28 .- 'thi 'Q ,ig .h ' I
