A MESSAGE FROM DEAN BROOMELL ONCE MORE I have been requested to prepare something for inclusion in your book of memories, and to do so becomes a pleasant task considering the iact that the relationship between us has been so mutually interwoven with the many pleasures and some tribulations which are always a part of modern college lire. First permit me to offer my most sincere congratulations to the class as a whole as well as to each individual member because you have finally reached the goal which for the past five years has been your chief ambition. You are to be con gratulated because you are about to enter a noble profession at a time when your services will be much in demand, and when good honest service will be appreciated as never before. In selecting dentistry for your life's work, I assume that you have been influenced by a most lofty motive, the opportunity to contribute to the health and happiness of your fellow-man. If you hove pictured to yourself a life of ease, a life devoid of foil, care or anxiety. I fear you will be sorely disappointed, because the fact is, you will experience all of these, but remember that collectively they will servo to stimulate you to renewed and greater effort. You will early begin to reat'ze that the path which you have chosen does not lead to great wealth or high social standing. While your efforts a re not likely to result in much popular appreciation, wide-spread fame, or the material results of many other callings, you may rest assured that they will fake you to a field rich in the opportunity to lessen human suffering, promote happiness, and encourage long life. At this time you must have your mind centered upon the future path which you are about to tread, which no doubt stands out vaJ.eiy and dimly before you. While you may look upon the coming years and what !l ey may have in store for you with some anxiety, you should meet this with the thought that you are well prepared and well equipped for the undertaking, the natural result which always follows the prolonged training for a professional career. In your choice of a location in which to prac re your profession, do not seek some seciuded spot devoid of the stimulating iniiuence which always accompanies competition. Wholesome honest competition is a!..ays helpful and serves to enliven your energies, and to advance you in the way of distinction, and should fit you to cope v ith your able compeers. Do not become discouraged with frequent intervals of leisure because these are almost sure to occur in the beginning, and should be regarded as providing an opportunity for active preparation to more readily meet successfully our future duties. Be assured that if you have determined to fit yourself to hold a worthy place, you need not be fearful of the future, because sooner or later you will be greeted v ith voices of praise for your professional success. Each one of you can add to. or detract from, the honor of the dental profession, and as a last request from one who has your individual interests at heart, let the former course be chosen. May success crown your efforts. Fifteen
