Grabuation 1F1otes we UNLESS some unforeseen cause prevents, the graduating exercises of our college this year will be held in Berkeley, in the Harmon Gymnasium of the University of California, Students will notice that the date of commencement is placed as early as the 18th of May. elif' THE College of Dentistry is often spoken of as an Aliliated College, but it is really an integral part of the University of California, and it is understood that those colleges of this group, whose bonds of union with the academic body are not so close, are moving in the direction to enjoy the same distinction. A 1251? THE new buildings are known as the Affiliated Colleges, and, while the name is not scientifically exact, it is expressive enough to be popular. There seems to be no immediate prospect of their occupancy. Great bodies move slowly, and even the planets collide. The progress toward occupancy will doubtless be deliberate. Many little differences will have to be smoothed away. There are matters, such as preparing the grounds, which involve an immediate expenditure of considerable money, and the pro rata basis for sharing such expenses may cause some temporary friction among collegiate bodies whose individual inter- ests are in many ways so widely divergent. .aff To students whose souls yearn for the joys that a college campus suggests, it seems long waiting, but everything comes to him who waits. So let us possess our souls in patience. We have a whole new century before us to wait in. 50

Ualebictoty 61855 of '98 HIS class of ,98! VVho has not heard of it? An aggregation of talent, the equal of which has seldom been assembled within any college walls. Our merit was very early appreciated. When we made our initial appearance, it was sufficient incentive to bring forth our worthy Dean in a special address of welcome. Have all classes been so honored ?-They have not. In fact, the class of '98, if we are to believe tradition and history, is the only one which has been favored thus. The quality of material which appeared upon the Dental College horizon September 7, 1896, warranted such a greeting. A few weeks from this date we held our first class meeting. ' Our lecture room was the scene of trouble. A slender young gentleman of downy countenance, from southern parts, called us to order. He explained to us the necessity of immediate class organization, and also mentioned a few of his ambitions of life, one of which was to be our' president. Alas! he has left us. He has gone further south, where his versatile accomplishments will be appreciated. He was not destined to be a president of '98. Could he have looked ahead and seen us as we are now, how his presumption would have appalled him! In the laboratory our cleverness soon manifested itself. We were brilliant dental students, as every demonstrator will testify. But then we had our specialties also. Singers we had without number. Some were good and some were not. Is there a ,QS man who does not remember that touching melody, I Found a Horseshoe ? Hark! I hear it now. I picked it up and nailed it on the door. It will never cease ringing in our ears. Our noisy men were another star attraction, and frequently the cause of much comment of professors. Plaster! sharp-shooters, water-ball manipulators, plaster eaters, who 52
