Our college entrance resembled a March wind reversed flamb- likel, and if we do not go out like the roaring lion, it is because we will take our flight like the American eagle, with head aloft and wings unfurled. May that noble bird be emblematic of our progress through life. The virtues of our girls of '99 must remain sealed Within our hearts. Not that we are selfish, but because We do not wish to make preceding classes jealous, nor succeeding classes envious. Our Junior class is like the man in the song, neither up nor down. They don't know what they don't k11OW. Too much strength is a detriment to the practice of dentistry. It is also injurious to the health of the poor chairs in the lecture-room. Conserve your energy, boysg you may have to work for a living some day. Nothing but praise for the Freshman class, because I love the green. If some are not burdened with a weight of years, and will still be growing when they graduate, let them not be cast down. Concentrated, formn is the best, according to Dr. D'Ancona, and he knows. 1 7

One word of advice: Become well acquainted with Dr. Dunbar. Behind his dignified manner lurks a sympathetic spirit. Don't fear to approach him in any of your diiiiculties, and you will find a friend in need. Now for our Faculty. just and considerate we have always found them, but, like the gold fields of Alaska, too cold and distant. In the future we hope to meet them in friendly intercourse based upon the respect they are sure to command. Two of them are closely related to us in the inhrmary. One, by his kindly ways and gentle manners, has influenced our hearts as well as our heads, and, though lost to sight. to memory dear is Dr. Goddard. The other has ever proven a patient instructor and a good friend, and by his wit and wisdom has lightened many a dark corner of our hearts and minds. In a spirit of friendship, which is but an echo of the class sentiment, I write his name-Dr. Sullivan. And how shall we show our appreciation of Miss Vincent? She should have been named Vincitf, for truly she has conquered all hearts, not only by her admirable manner in the performance of duties, but also by her ready tact and sympathy. Her kindnesses in the year are as numerous and varied as the days thereof. i There is another who will be remembered whenever the college is thought of,-our patriotic friend, Colonel Hubbard. And now a final word,--charity, not that which grudgingly gives alms, but that charity that not only covers a multitude of sins, but also the sins of the multitude,--the charity of thought, word, deed, and omission. - Don't rashly judge your colleague by the evidence of any of your prejudiced senses. If you must judge him, first know him well, and weigh all evidence impartiallyg then, if your judgment is adverse, whisper it to the winds with regrets. Emulate Dr. Litton, who sees all, hears all, helps all, and says nothing. Let us think of our demonstrators and lecturers kindly, remember- ing the many trials and difficulties by which we hindered their help. Let us remember the faculty and college which made it possible for us to acquire our chosen profession. Let us vow to revisit our alma wafer frequently, seeking and giving help and encouragement. And now may we say, Au 1'ewz'r, and not, Good-by. IS
