'av ,A HAS it ever occurred to anyone who has seen various yearbooks as to just why publications of such a type always bear the same title year after year? Perhaps it can be answered by the fact that when such titles are selected they are done so with the idea in mind of having the name bear some sort of a relationship upon the kind of student life and happenings it is to portray or upon the type of a school editing such a publica- tion. At least, so it was with the yearbook pub- lished by the Chicago College of Dental Surgery, Dental Department of Loyola Uni- versity. Back in 1912, when its yearbook was Hrst published by the junior class, a title had to be selected for the book. Here was a problem indeed! Something was wanted that would in itself bring to light the fact that this book was one of a dental school. It had to be characteristic of the type of our individual institution. Indi- vidual because of the fact that it has tried, and judging from our alumni has succeeded, to promote its students in becoming real men along with the teaching of dentistry. We are not like a large university in that we . .,.Lf'gifii?:7'- 'f -il 5 ev. 'H-1-,e Y -'1 Q--a:--. have a number of various schools but we do have dentistry with its various divisions mak- ing it comparable to a large university. Consequently a word had to be selected that would truly have a meaning pertaining to dentistry and still be a dignified one. So the word Dentos', was selected to become the title of the ever-successful yearbook of this institution. The word itself comes from both Greek and Latin and is divided into two parts- Dent and Os. The Dent comes from the Latin dans or dcnfis meaning tooth. The Os part of the word comes from Greek and means parficzzlnrly pl'l'fflilZiIIg to. Naturally by combining these two derivations the word Demos was coined, meaning parficzllarly P6'l'fflil2il7g fo ffye feefb. A misunderstanding might be made with subsequent criticizing by the fact that Os also may come from the Latin meaning bone. In this case the Greek derivation should be used. The selection that was made at the time was a commendable one as is evidenced by the number of years that it has been re- tained. Long live ifs success.
