CHARLES B. ADDIE AND THE GARRETSONI AN SOCIETY By J. Max Barber. Here at the close of the school year, when the Class of 1912 stands at the parling'of the ways—stands where each individual member of me Class must go forth into , the world and upon his bowed back take up a part of the world’s burden of service—I wish, entirely unsolicited, to show my appreciation of the fine qualities 1 have noticed in an individual member of the Class; for 1 believe in the scattering of flowers in one's pathway as well as over one’s grave. And while I pay mv meed of praise to Charles B. Audita it must not be understood that I do it to the itisparnge:hn?rit Trf any other member of the Class, for as a member of Old 1912. I feel that on the whole they are all a jolly good set of fellows. It is as president of the Garretsonian Society that 1 J wish to write of Dr. Addie, for in this position lie has appealed to me as being singularly high-minded and far-i sighted. I have inquired diligently of the past history of the Garretsonian Society, and it is the consensus of opinion among those who know that this year has been the banner year of the Society’s history. Never before has this organization meant so much to the I'hiladelphia Dental College. Never before has the Society set out to accomplish so much. Never before have the foundations for a broad, cultural and social organization been so securely laid in the school. Under the able administration of Dr. Addie the Society has become a vital, moving force in our college life, a force that must ever afterwards be reckoned with in the shaping of the policies of the school. Through certain changes in the Constitution the Society is now anchored to every other organization of the school. This year regiD lar meetings have been held and the programs have been brilliant with interest. The statesmanship of Addie and his cabinet conceived the notion that the Garretsonian Diploma was worth something, and hence the wise provision for a thesis from each , member of the graduating class. Students arc or ought to I be interested in dental problems, in professional courtesy, ; m parliamentary decorum and in the larger problems of ; economics, inventions, literature and social advance. . Surely nothing is so calculated to awaken interest in these things as the preparation of a thesis I But this is not all. Not only is it true that the Society meetings have been invested with a living interest, but ample provision is being made for that social contact among the students which will enmesh them in that good fellowship which binds men together though they go to the ' utmost ends of the earth. The clubhouse with its library, its reading room, its piano, its pool tabic and its list of social games, is the latest addition to the many achievements of the year’s history of the Society. Is not this a year to be proud of? Against fraternities 1 have no word of dissent, sarily wherever men aggregate together in large bodicl will gravitate together groups of men who will wisJ intimate association with each other than with the But over and above these groups there should alul that larger organization that will afford a common] ing ground for all of the members of the school, a ( where all may come and feel the grasp of the haj slap on the back and the touch of common brothel a place where clannishness has no say, but when is an amalgamation of those forces in a college th an institution great. This year the Garretsonian Society has inaud the era of good feeling in the school, and it Is becaj wisely chose to lead us a man who, backed by the has stood like rock and oak for the rights of every 11] of the school, no matter of what race or clime. He d believe in vanity overriding merit. He is not swept I wind and tide. Let us fervently hope that this spir not die in the years to 4 mc among the echoes of for '.(tings. And while I am no prophet, as sure as the S continues on the road which it is now on, I sec through the mists of tomorrow a mighty upstride college, a growth beyond our proudest dreams and urated TEMPLEEHUITES ME GIVEN DEGREES Annual Commencement Exercises for University Departments Held i ms'irj'ii e p-J-'ti y-c S ° V ‘- 2-- S — v u- c -F9 ® c t s.s a Largest Class In Institution’s • History Includes Many From Foreign Lands With the Academy of Musir crowded to it capacity, the annual commencement exercise for the university departments of Temple I'nivcwfty were held last night.
