Dungany, Tho' its Dung'an's the name On which I bring fame. Now the boys call me Dinney, And that's better than Skinny, Though Dunny's not funny, T I'll bet any money That my nickname will stay Wfhen I'ni old and gray. Primer Fables of Dental .ftudents CWith apologies to Eugene Fielclj See the Freshman Child, V He is a creature ot indifferent habits, whose object in life is that of being instructed in The Principles and Practices of Dental Surgery. He is accustomed to making' much noise and is known to give vent to Apache-like yells, without apparent reason, other than those emanating from his own weak mental apparatus. In his own opinion he is beyond compare, but the opinions of his Professors and Preceptors are denied publication in this work. He is also rich in the knowledge of Anatomy and practice of Dis- section of the Human body, and knows many things of minute structure of cells and the Theory of Digestive Ferments and Juices. As a mechanic this creature is eminently a wonder, constructing' as he does, many appliances used for alleviating the pains and Odontalgic troubles of the Human race.

D The Police prohibit the true expression here of a juniors opinion of a Freshman, but he looks up to Seniors. He considers Freshmen in the light of Prey, and Harasses them Muchly. The general impression created by a Junior is Negative, lacking as he does in the Primitive Attributes of a Freshman or the More advanced and trained Qualities of a Senior. Behold the Senior.
