Senior History a part Of the student life of the Ohio College Of Dental Surgery. is almost complete iVe have at lact reached that stage in our college life where we can enjoy the result of our labors, and, having endured the stale jokes thrust upon us by our learned superiors, we look forth with something of regret to that event which wit! send us forth, each to seek his fortune in the various pursuits of hfe. XYC all believe that actions speak louder than words, and so, without tiring your minds with a detailed descrip- tion of our achievements, I will merely record the simple facts. It would be inappropriate, and impossible, too, in this place. to measure minutely the. steps in the progress of our class under the leadership of these very efficient officers, and have learned four great lessons: Observe, compare, retiect and record. Four things come not back: ttThe spoken word, the sped arrow, the past life, and the neglected Opportunity. That our arrows have found their marks, that our past life has been one of victory, and that we have neglected 110 Opportunities, the. Class of Nineteen and Six is a witness. And, where we have turned from deeds of Odyssean wile and engaged in open battle, how have we fared? You tell us that the allies were decisively victorious at Waterloo, and we tell you that the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Seven was overwhelmingly victorious in the battles or class rushes between our dignihed Seniors of the 1905 Class. 4.0 The Nineteen Hundred and Six Class, being handicapped in numbers and nerve. were EXCttstd. The next battle of am- importance was the folimvihg year, when we were compelled to show the Class of Nineteen and Eight who their superiors wei'e, and, lastly3 but not least, while in our Senior year, were compelled to show the students of the University of Cincinnati that they await an invitation before coming into our class meetings. Mohamet, in one of those clairvoyant states where the whole panorama of heaven and earth was vividly presented to his view, said prophetically of the Class of Nineteen and Seven, that win the shadow of the sword are fellowships finely formed, and by honor and candor are they nurtured. Surely, if in the shadow of the sword there he struggles and suspicions of struggles; victories, and suspiciom of victories, and losses better than htmdredfOId gain, the fellowship of 1907 should be firmlv cemented! And may that honor and candor which have, perchancei been dimmed but never extin- guished, blaze forth more purely and permanently than tires on vestai altars, and cheerfully illumine the advancing: years! The Claws 0f Nineteen and Seven has always been dis- tinguished for ite perseverance, and for the spirit of deter- mination which has always marked ite; progress. One short term'renmins to complete our college life, and now, as we look forth upon the future that awaits us, let us ever be mindful of our motto, ttEsse Quam Videre,u and may it he as a guiding spirit to hold us together as a solid phalanx united for the honor and glory of good old Nineteen and Seven!

An Alibi? The Class of I907. appreciating the kindness of Provi- deuve in bestowing- upon them such an overwhelming abun- dance Of brain, brawn and moral virtues, together with a vast amount of worldly goods, all of which has been the cause of :1 growth of almost insane jealnusy in the breasts of the faculty and under classmen. aurL fearing that this aforeeaid envy might be the cause of an attempt to break the last will and testament, which this class is about to make, it resolved to go before a judge of competent jurisdiction and obtain a certificate of itx sanity, a copy of which is hereby attached: CRt HYBAIT COURT.
