Each has its own rewards and regrets. Dental school is a unique experience of which nothing in my past life can compare. It is a servitude which has been enriching, punishing, and to which l have had to sometimes compromise my values. I have acquired an outlook on life quite different from that held four years ago. Now, I, somewhat bastaqdized, somewhat ambiva- lent, have lost some of that pure innocents of idealism. The future of dentistry is impressive. lt is one of the few disciplines that allow creativity, inventlveness, and coupled with genuine concern for the welfare of man- kind. Perhaps more than any other endeavor, dentistry permits one the latitude to discover his abilities and fulfill his ambition. There is a new breed entering dentistry. Our class was the first yo refute the old ways , to hold out for what we felt was right. I would like to see this spirit carried into the profession. The social life. . .four years of worry, pressure, exams, aches in the pit of the stomach, rumors, laughs, beers, the smell of eugenol, open margins, class parties, the Greeks, late nights, long weekends, lectures, shortcuts fthat never workedj and sometimes, just sometimes, a feeling of accomplishment and pride. The last is what makes it all worthwhile. Ken City fi

The Clinic of 1972 fwritten in 19123 l've just been to the clinic-the nineteenth of its kind, At the old Chicago college, near the lake. lt's not the same old building as it was in nineteen nine,- The new one, with its campus, takes the cake. I arrived there Monday morning, on the aero, which was late. I spent more than an hour on the way: I recalled, that when a freshman, I traveled' cross the State On the steam cars, and it took half of the day. My little grandson met me-he's a freshman at the school, And in an aero-cab took me to Denton Hall. He showed me the gymnasium with its dandy swimming pool, For the students of the college, large and small. And indeed it is some college, with many halls so grand, Compared with the old place where we did delve. These halls. it touched me strongly, as I near them did stand. Were endowed by members of my class-the class of '12. Lester Chernick 460 X Agni

A sensible man is wiser than he knows, While a fool knows more than is wise. Therefore a sensible man does not devise resources: The greater his use to others The greater their use to him, The more he yields to others The more they yield to him.
