What to say and what to leave unsaid, are appalling questions, but how to say nescio quid is one before which all adjec- tives must fall back abashed, and admit this in- adequacy to express its bewildering and madden- ing qualities. The history of the class of IQO3 of the Ohio Dental College has been very much like the other classes, which have preceded us, hence the history should be writ- ten just as the history, of the other classes, i. e., there should be, first, announcement of the fact that the members of this class are better than any one else, and they are bet- ter, as records will show, and why they are better 5 and second, some account of what these superior beings have to do and what they have done in the past three years. And also, Student's Dream This last is put in to give an idea of how much a grad- uate remembers of what he has learnedQ?j, and as it has hitherto almost invariably had a prominent position accorded it, the present historian has not the courage to omit it. It has only been three years since this class left their happy homes to come to this seat of learning, the O. C D. S., to be developed into professional men as we have been, and we are of a profession today that ranks at the top, and each one of us should be proud that we have a D. D. S. to our names, and doubly proud that the Ohio College of Den- tal Surgery has conferred it upon us. We entered College as freshmen, and began our work by attending all the lectures that could be crowded into a space of about four hours each morning. And then the technical work was something wonderful I The demonstra- tors soon found out the ability of this class, and they there- fore made them perform more work than has ever been known of any class that has gone before. I say, we began by attending lectures, and found that our previous idea of study was one utterly erroneous- One may elsewhere have put an hour or two on a lecture and kept up with his class, but when he begins to put from three to five hours on a lecture and going to class sits with a heart beating fast for fear of being called on in a lecture, he begins to realize what the word study can mean.

This is more forcibly impressed upon his mind if he has to answer a question, and forgetting the name of some nerve or artery makes a slight mis-stepg for he then gets hauled over the coals in such a style, that all he has so care- fully gotten up slips from his memory, and to the next Q, su question he most probably answers, I do not know, sn. But why picture the feelings we all know so well. On arriving at College we all made resolutions and set ourselves many rules of study, so as to do a certain amount of study each day and get a certain amount of sleep We found during the first week that this does not work, for after a hard night's study, we sought our not over-co1nfort- able bed when the hours were growing large again, and are just beginning to dream of the home we will not see again for so long-Bang ! W'hir-r-r ! And We have jumped out of bed, frightened about six different colors and looking for the ire engine every minute- But it was only an alarm clock. After a hasty toilet, and coffee and rolls, we get to lecture just after the Professor has called the roll. And there we sit and listen for an hour trying to keep our eyes open and appear interested, atleast. When the time came for examinations that year, we were all there, armed to the teeth and ready for the fray, and whenever one of our number was in distress, the signal only had to be given when there would be any number of his fellow-students right by his side to help him and bear him bravely over the rough places. 'We fought a hard fight in those examinations, but we came out each and every one victorious, and received our certificate entitling us to come back the next fall, if we could raise one hundred dollars by hard toil in the five months' vacation. Our junior year was one of mostly pleasure, We all felt so elated at getting out of the laboratory into the clinics that we took things easy, and went right to operating just as though we had had five years' experience. But we sat on the benches most of the time waiting for Dr. Way to ask us if we would like to work for a patient a short time, and if it didn't suit, it was allright. All we had to say was, I donlt believe I care about working todayft and then you could resume your seat and keep it. Well, we did keep it most of the year, without any Demonstrator bothering us at all , I cannot leave out the pleasure that we enjoyed by being compelled to take the analytical chemistry course, for it was there we met and learned to know that great chem- ist, Dr. David Stern, and also to know and appreciate the value of his assistant, Dr. Plath. It was there where we were baptized, because, I think each one was initiated into that course by a drench of water from a water bottle A The fires and their immediate extinction are worthy of notice g if any combustible material was accidentally ig-
