With eommodious clinic hall-rooms. Then my feelings gave expression: I have made a find! Hoo-Rah-Hoo! Gold and Olive-float your colors! Whoop it up! Rah! Boomerang-Rah! There I found a class of blue-eyes, Black-eyes, brown-eyes, gray and hazel, Bright-eyed, witty, jolly fellows, From domains in all locations, North, south, east and west directions, Hemispheres both Eastern, Western. Antipodes who now have risen On the right side of the planet, In the right place in this city. Classic Greek sends us a scholar, Quite a royal man, so loyal To his college, class and nation. Yankee men of Uncle Sammie, From the shores of Maine, the mighty, Swooping in New York, the finer, City of New York, the Greater, To the coast of California, Land of honey, fruit and flowers, Favored with perpetual summer. Dental Surgery we tackled: Olioes of ologies, and Protoplasm, anabolism, All the plasms and the isms. Physiology us stumped to Keep intact the human struetureg And our brains were almost crazy With Anatomy, the complex, Deliniating nerves and muscles. We contested long with Chemistry, Searching Pharmacy so deeply Our Anatomy was shaken, And, alas! was much endangered. Materia Medica infusions Filled our heads with complications, We daren't take our own admixtures, Neither would the other fellows. Metallurgy was a favorite, Better did we like the metals, Chiefly nuggets of the yellow. Theories were dry and lifeless 2x4

And it won't be long, my dearest, 'Till you'll see your Rowland-Kemos. Here comes Reuben! Up so early? How he clings! I tell you, Rcubbie, You're a darling of a brother! I'm a-goin' with our Kemos, Kemos must not go without me. Father s-aid, The horse is ready, Hurry, Kemos, do not tarry! Give to me thy cane and satchcl, And old Medor, he will follow. On we rode-our tongues were silent, For, our hearts were overflowing, Till we reached the eastern station On the shores of sunny Pine-Tree. Medor licked me o'er and o'er, Father clapped me on the shoulder, Now, my boy, do not forget us, And should sickness overtake thee, Come right home for care and comfort. Now, be good, my Rowland-Kemos! Keep thy heart:-Look out for fairies! TTT.-Zonquest At the cross-roads of my life-course There I was alone, and standing Looking backward, hesitating, Knowing not which way to wander 'Mid the mystic city tumult, In a world so cold and heartless, Thinking, meditating, musing: Oh, if I could travel swiftly, See the faces of my darlings, Sit beside them at the fireside, It would soothe my heartache, burning, Lifting up my drooping spirits. Yet my conquest I pursued Till at length my forte discovered In the good D. S. profession, In a college institution World-wide famed as P. D. C.-Ha! PHILADELPHIA DENTAL COLLEGE! Up-to-date and scientific! 2I3

Till we worked out Therapeutics, Practiced on our fellow-students, Gave advice in goodly measure, Gave our patients quinine tonic Demonstrating our specific, Killing, conquering the bacillus, Killing microbes of home-sickness. And Pathology, the Dental, We could hardly ever vanquish, Vanquish nor control disease, 'Specially the Klondicitis, For when seized by this high fever All the boys were wildly raving. We were proud and very happy When our plate-work was completed, Finished, polished, passed on safely Thro' the hands of our Instructors. One another's heads we bandagedg With our arm-nerve worked extraction Operations most severe. We were thoroughly enamoured Making golden crown- and bridge-work Triumph of the grand profession. And our kind professors waited As they hammered in the knowledge For development of brain-work, Knowing that in by-gone old-times They were sadly like us fellows- We are only their quotations- For their Platos called them stupidg So tl1ey tell us. Aren't they jolly? IU.-Pl'0lIIOIl0lI We appear upon this platform Proudly claiming our diplomas As a trophy of our labors, As a badge that we may enter On the Practice of our calling, Having given satisfaction To our Intellectual Athletes In curriculum of college, Well equipped as Surgeon Dentists, Going forth to meet the perils 215 S:
