l i i l y Opemhg Exerc be Tuesday evening September 30, 1941 the 59th year ol dental education began at the Chicago College ol Dental Surgery. Fathers, mothers, wives, and sweethearts escorted their proud dental neophytes to this night of opening exer- cises. The Freshmen could be easily detected by their fearful loolcs and alternatingly pale, then blushing cheelcs. The sophomores were rejoic- ing over meeting their classmates alter a four months vacation. The juniors seemed to be trying to malce a good impression and were unusually i subdued. The seniors were serious and worried l over the selective service and were anxious to l hear what information the dean might have on the latest plan for dental students. l i At 8:15 l3.lVl. the faculty entered and silence prevailed. Dean Logan presided in his usual l impressive manner and answered the questions 1 that were foremost in our minds by telling us l that in all probability the students would be S allowed to Finish their schooling before entering l the service. l With minds relaxed and worries seeminglyover, I everyone sat contentedly listening to Dr. P. G. , l3uterbaugh's excellent words ol advice. l-le 1 warned new men about what was before them 'l and advised them of the pitfalls which they might encounter. l Schedules were passed out to the students and ' the year ol 'l94'l-42 was under way.
