KiXYVYl mmfn i THE RECORD 1919 “Scar Class of 1919” HAVE been asked to inscribe something in the page of your book of memories, and doing so becomes a pleasing task, when the relationship between us lias been so mutually interwoven with the pleasures and the tribulations which always are a part of modern college life. History has been in the making during your final year at 1'. D. C., and your activities, either forced or elective, will become a factor in the records written or to be written. Tribulation was a dominant factor of the early part of your final session, but you accepted this loyally, and with very little complaint, compared to the handicap under which you were placed. No one appreciated more fully, or with more regret than the writer, the complicated situation under which you were compelled to proceed and when the burden was lifted, note was taken of the fact that the former enthusiastic desire for a dental education had not been lost but rather added to. You are about to enter a noble profession at a time when your services will be much sought after, and at a time when good, honest service will be appreciated as never before. Keep this fact in mind, that as old and as well established as dentistry is as a learned profession. that it is just now beginning to assume its correct place in the healing art. Each one of you can add to or detract from the honor of the profession which you have chosen for your life work and as a last request from one who has your individual interests at heart, let the former course be chosen. I wish you long life, good luck and prosperity. Come back to the old (or new) halls whenever you can. the latch string will always be on the outside. Faithfully yours, 1. N. BROOM FIX I'nijr Shir
