To the Class of 1927, Temple University, School of Dentistry: You are about to take your places in the professional world as graduates of the oldest School of Dentistry in the United States, and it gives me a great deal of pleasure to wish you Godspeed at the outset of your careers. The attainments of the School of Dentistry, formerly the Philadelphia Dental Cob lege, and the standards upheld by its students—in character as well as in scholarship— have been such as to inspire confidence that you will achieve a full measure of success in your profession. We have no doubt that you will remember the traditions of the splendid institU' tion from which you were graduated, and that you will continue to give it every reason to be proud of you. The work you have chosen to undertake in life is of vast impor-tance to the welfare of your fellowmen, and you are fortunate to begin your profes' sional duties at a time when that importance is accorded an everdnereasing portion of recognition by the world of science. Dr. Henry Isaiah Dorr, one of the founders of the Philadelphia Dental College, and one of the oldest and staunchest friends of Temple University, declared recently that “no profession is of more value to humanity than dentistry. And he cautioned the Dental Alumni of Temple University not to permit any branch of education to outstrip theirs in progress. You now are about to join the ranks of the Temple Dental Alumni, and we beg of you to heed Doctor Dorrs words. The members of our excellent Faculty have been untiring in impressing upon you the truth of his statement in regard to the value of your profession to human welfare. We know that your careers will be a vindication of their efforts. So far as the future progress of dental education is concerned, you will be able to aid in its promotion by supporting your Alma Mater in her wonderful plans for the expansion and development of the School of Dentistry, as well as of her other depart' ments. Stand ready to give Temple University your aid and cooperation. In this way you will richly repay her for the opportunity she has afforded you and for the additional prestige she intends to reflect upon your careers. Sincerely, CHARLES E. BEURY.
