lsjllf-5 Q THE gun dam -B IEN- E l 1895. a period of sixteen years. Dr. P. G. C. Hunt was actively instrumental in establishing the Indiana Dental College in 1878, and was placed at the head of the faculty and also at the head of the board of trustees, which positions he filled until his resignation one year later. He was again induced to assume the presidency in 1895, and was filling this office at the time of his death. Dr. P. G. C. Hunt was beloved by all who knew him. He was ever zealous to promote knowledge and the welfare of his profession and freely imparted his valuable knowledge and skill to all seekers. Throughout his life he was a frequent contributor to dental journals and was the author of a number of valuable ideas and handy clinics for use by dentists. Dr. P. G. C. Hunt was one of the best known men of the dental profession. Heely, Watt, McKelops, Palmer, Atkinson, Cushing and Taft were among his friends of co-workers. He died April 24, 1896, of dilatation of the heart, loved, honored and mourned by all who knew him. The late Dr. George Edwin Hunt was a worthy son and suc- cessor to his father, with whom he was associated in the practice of dentistry for many years. He received his grammar school education and the first two years of his high school work in Indianapolis. Then followed a two-year course at DePauw and one year at the University of Michigan in the study of civil engineering. In 1886, after four years of practical construction work, he entered the Indiana Dental College. He then received his second degree from the Indiana Medical School. He was a member of the National Dental Associa- tion of Dental Faculties since 1895, and secretary since 19059 vice- presiclent of fourth International Dental Congress, which met at St. Louis in 19043 post-president of the Institute of Dental Peda- gogics since 1896. He had given his entire time to our college and to the writing for dental publications. He was a Mason, as was his father before him, a member of the Delta Tau Delta College Fra- ternity and of the Delta Sigma Delta Dental Fraternity. He was also active in civic affairs, serving as secretary of the Indianapolis Commercial Club in 1901-1903, as secretary of Indiana State Board of Commerce for two years, and secretary of Indiana University Board of Trustees. He helped to establish the Technical Institute, and public bathhouses in Indianapolis. He was also a member of the Citizens' League in 1902. George Edwin Hunt, M. D., D. D. S., our beloved dean, friend, guider and helper of every student who sought or needed his help, was taken ill at midnight june, 1914, with acute gastritis. At 2 o'clock his wife attended him and at 6 o'clock on the morning of july 11, on entering his room found him dead. In the death of this man Indiana Dental College, her student body and faculty, as well as the entire dental profession, suffered an irretrievable loss. With the exception of his illustrious father, our school owes more to his ability and industry than to any other one being. Broad- minded, public-spirited and sympathetic, and filled with a dynamic energy, he was ever a monument of strength and example. No expression of sorrow or regret can adequately voice our sense of loss, but we who knew him and loved him can ever hold before us his noble character and great ability as a standard toward which we may strive. And our reward, if we succeed to the honor and advance- ment of our profession, shall be the knowledge that he would have been gratified and proud of us, that had he lived he would have grasped us by the hand, smiled, and said, Well done.

From this unpretentious begin- ning the association has grown to a member- bership including all of the student body and many of the alumni. While the Association was quite young, there developed bills to pay. Dr. Furnas drew a deep breath and his next month's pay check from the college. gave up the idea of having a new suit and paid, When he thinks of his gone forty or Fifty let him know that it went to produce a thrill for every milling mark on the edge of every dollarg yells by the million. and big broad ' healthful smiles in like man- ner. To show its gratitude and appreciation of the services of Dr. Furnas, the Athletic Association presented him with a handsome watch at the mass meeting of April 10th. Miss BIARY DAVIS, Src.-Trcas., Indianapolis, Ind. To the efforts of Heze Clark. the team owes much of its success. In 1915 Heze started with raw material and with untiring efforts has placed athletics on a firm basis in the college. lleze has been wcll known in Indiana and the Middle West for seventeen years. He is an all-round athlete. having won his monogram in football, basketball, and track at Indiana and Shortriflge high school. Clark played football at lndiana Yniversity in 1904, 1905 and 1906. and was named as the all-western champion hall' back by many critics. He has been an athletic director for about ten years, and always puts out a strong team. Cliff made a great manager and handled the finances in the best way possible. Everyone is well pleased with his management. In his efforts to show hospitality to each visiting team, he gave a dance in their honor. The team will miss their peppery little manager. Owing to past experience Miss Davis filled her position exceptionally well. Her ef- forts in boosting the team helped athletics to take a prominent place in the col- lege. Miller is our manager for next year. He has been assisting Cliff this year and has shown unusual ability in handling the situation. We expect Paul to give thc college and Indianapolis an unusually good schedule of games. Currox E. IJONNELL, Manager, Indianapolis. Ind. PAUL INIILLER, Ass'r. Manager, Rensselaer, Ind.
