Seest thou a man who is conspicuous, not so much for his opin- ions Qthough they are valuablej, as for his expression of them? Not so much for his kno-wledge Qthough it exceed that of all his fellowsj, as for the putting o-f that knowledge int-o practical use? Not so much for his beauty rfthough he is the fairest in all the landj, as for the popu- larity it gives him? Not so much for his pleasing and musical voice Qtho-ugh he can speak with ton-gues of men and of angelsj, as fo-r the -gracious, instructive, e-ncouraging, helpful and interesting words which proceed from his mo-uth, and,'like the warm, refreshing rain- drops of spring, dazzling through the sun.light and reflecting its beau- tiful co-lors, descending t-o earth to wash a.way the dust and gloom ofwinter and reveal the beauties of the unfolding and developing processes of plant life, do his words instill life and his deeds' Qwhen he extracts tee-thj promote activity? This man whom thou seest is our own Dr. James Jaco-b I-Ioffer, a citizen of no mean city and a member of no mean profession. Now I see Butturff, who has given up dentistry a.nd is securing subscribe-rs for some religious paper. He is doing goo-d wo-rk along this line and deserves success. And what mo-re shall I say? fo-r the time would fail me to- tell of Benson, who is always in some mischief, and of Burhans, of Cou- vrette, of Deitch, of Emery, Gilmore, and of all the other members of the class who, through their inventions, or their proficiency in so-me line of dentistry, or in some o-ther o-ccup-ation, have made themselves famo-us. l After taking the tro-uble to place' on record the dictates of -o-ur all-knowing friend, I am informed that such revelation is unreliable. VV e can, there-fo-re, only hope that no one of who-m we have predicted shall fare worse , and that all may realize their hopes and make a rec- ord that shall be an honor to our Alma Mater, to the profession and to ourselves., and that we may succeed in relieving much of the suffering of the peo-ple in the various communities where we may reside, as well as relieve- them of much of that which is the cause of a great deal of their pains--which they have taken a great deal of pains to acquire. If the writer's prophecies had anything to do with the future of the' class of rgoi he would certainly prophesy great and glorious things concerning every member. But as we must go out to face an unknown future, let us be brave, energetic and truey 106
