OMEGA DENTAL FRATERNITY was first 9X organized in the early history of the Baltimore .1 2; College Of Dental Surgery, merely as a college Ebf r society, with a secret ritual, where a few men W found pleasure enough in each otherys society as to devise a plan by which they could cement their friendship into bonds of fraternal love and brotherhood.
