The metamorphosis is completed. We can ' t say adieu without some mixed emotions. With humility, we offer our thanks for an education and for the opportunity of associating with and making the close friends of the past years. We appreciate the devout efforts of our instructors, their time spent and their enthusiasm. We would criticize their ego and make a plea for respect. 155

The National Order of Alpha Omega was founded in Baltimore, Marylcfnd, predicated on the standards of Character, Leadership and Personality. Too Chapter of Alpha Omega was initiated on the campus of U.S.C. in 1924, and from a group of nine members today incompasses a local chapter of 40 men and an alumni of some 350 graduates. The founding of Delta Sigma Delta Fraternity was in the year of 1882 at the University of Michigan. By 1906, Chi Chapter had been established at S.C. The Fr aternity ' s present home was acquired in 1926 and has been our permanent residence since that date. Twenty-four members from the Class of 1957 join the ranks of some nineteen thousand alumni. . . . four years that were going to trudge slowly by have now suddenly evaporated. Years of study have been condensed Into a myriad of sciences, theories, techniques, ethics, knowledge, and exper- iences. These are all beyond the point of being forgotten, but have been absorbed, and now are a part of us. Are the organizations on this page, as well as our training, an interlude or a prelude? The answer: we ' ve just begun! The fraternities are a good starting point for this example of a mutual association for development, benefit, and service to ourselves as well as to each other. Here then, is the rule or a concept of coordinated labor and service which we must carry throughout our days. It ' s not a burden, but enlightenment and success. Psi Omega Fraternity was founded in 1 892 at Baltimore College of Dentistry and now enjoys the distinction of being the largest professional dental fraternity in the world. Upsilon Chapter of Psi Omega was re-established at U.S.C. in 1949, hav- ing gone off campus in the early 1930 ' s. Now Psi Omega includes some 102 active members. From the class of 1957, eleven men will join the Psi Omega Alumni. Xi Psi Phi Fraternity was founded on the S.C. cam- pus in 1921. In the years that have followed, the Fraternity has grown to become an outstanding srganization in dental affairs. This year will wit- less the entrance of twenty-one men from Alpha rheta Chapter into the profession.
