I Y THE REF12E:CToR , 32 4 V b ll Rental Ifiaahvthall Friday evening, November 15, 1912, saw the opening of the Tnterdepartmental Basketball Games at the Y. M. C. A. For several years past, the Y. M. C. A. had been offering a trophy cup to the department of U. of B. winning the greatest number of games. Up to this year, however, the Dental Team had been very unfortunate in their attempts to win the cup. Before the first game started, L. S. Dodge was elected Captain of the Dental Team, and he inspired confidence in every player. This election seemed to be very auspicious, for the '4Dents were victorious that evening, and the three succeeding Friday evenings still saw them with a perfect score. In the fifth game, however, the team went down to defeat before the Medics , fighting every toss of the ball. The second series of games started soon after this, and at the end of the first four games the c'Dents were still supreme. Then came the fatal fifth, here, the quintet met the undefeated 4'Medics7', and were forced to take the small end of a 26 to 21 score. The following men represented the Dental College during the year of 1912. Forward A. C. Pawlowski Forward P. Gaugel Forward G. DeGelleke Center QCaptainj L. S. Dodge Guard E. W. Woodbury Guard C. H. McKee Guard lVlcKnight After the Interdepartmental Games were finished, the quintet were anxious to try their skill against some of the outside teams. Their first game with Canisius was disastrous, but after that, victory was continually with them. Their record for the season was as follows: Opponents U. of B. Merton Prep.

X THE hiljl-xI.,l:LCTORig 32 XI : V igarrrtinnian inning Q DENTAL or other college is complete without a well organized undergraduate professional society. Such a one has our department in the Barrettonian Societyy In the fall of 1893, a short time after the opening of the college, the students and faculty saw the need of a society whereby the stu- dents could get together and discuss matters of professional interest to them. VVith this thought in mind, a society was formed and named after the founder of this department and its first Dean, W. C. Barrett. Much credit musr be given to our honored alumnus, Frank L. Sibley, first president of the society and one of its most earnest supporters. Our present Dean was one of the founders of this society and has been one of its greatest workers. It is the purpose of the society to promote better men, to uphold morality and the dignity of the profession, and to equip its members with a better knowledge of their life's vocation. It is with fond recollection that each student looks back upon the happy meetings of the society, when he gave Vent to his exuberant literary spirits, and was permitted to listen to his fellow students in debates, and perchance mingle his voice with theirs in good 'old college songs. How can any college alumnus recall his undergraduate days without a thrill at the thought of the society that did so much toward his preparation for the serious duties of life? It is doubtful if there is a single graduate of our college who has not been made better through the influences of the society. In the diploma granted him on the day of his graduation is a significant proof of his good conduct and diligent work during his college life, also a constant reminder of his relations to his Alma Mater and the faith and respect of the profession which he is to follow.
