Kansas Cm-Deiira1CoI1e,-ff The OIG7' Nineiven-Eighteen Analogy Between Children's and Students' Remembrance S. tl1ll.Dl2NS'l'l2IX, l7,lT.S., Clllfklitl, Ilnlu The happiest time of our life is chiltlhooel, and every sensible man timtls the highest pleasure of his life in the time of his schooling. Not every chilcl reaches that state of mental de- velopment when it can appreciate the care-free time when it was sheltered by clear mother's love, anal not every aclult can justly appreciate that eventful time when he was getting his education, VVe begin to see the charm of the happy school tlays only when we come face to face with the soher reality of life, livery student pictures his future as very promis- ing. Armecl with all the knowledge he neetls, he sees himself well untler all kinrls of trials. But much, however. clepencls upon circumstances. liven a hirtl hitles its heazl uncler its wing when the weather is too rough, :mtl mayhe with a sigh it re- calls that happy time when it was safe unrler the wings of its tentler mother. And our young cloctors often come face to face with harfl. eomplieatecl problems and then they turn their thoughts to the happy past when the Pro- fessors woultl help them over rough places, Some instructors will offentl their stutlents hy the somewhat coarse tone in which thev talk to them. Not so with the K. C, D. C. Faculty. lienevolence, as l remember, reignerl supreme there.

Kansas City Dental couegz Tb!! Olaf Nf'1f'ff'1'EfK 'e ' worth treated me very kindly, according to the sacred teaching, Love the foreigner. At the end of the semester I had to pass a practical examination given by the Missouri State Board. Dr. Hollingsworth came to me and expressed his pleasure, and Dr. Allen as a good father was interested to see how I was getting along in my work with a gold filling, and joyfully exclaimed: It's all right, Doctor! Both Dr. Allenfand Dr, Hollingsworth aroused in me much courage, and I, following their teachings, successfully passed my examination. In spite of my having obtained license for practicing in the State of Missouri, I would not leave the congenial college people, and I enrolled as a student. Under the inHuence of K. C. D. C., I seemed to have regained my youth. I would readily have partaken of dancing with the young comrades, but my gray hair kept me back. I have the most pleasant recollection of all the Faculty, and thus I received my diploma in the year of 1911. Because of certain circumstances I had to leave Kansas City and thus part with the kind and intellectual people of K. C. D. C., and move to Chicago, where they required the Black system of cavity preparation. My school again came to my aid and the demonstrators reviewed and familarized me with this system. I successfully passed my examination in Chicago also. And thus I am far away from dear old K. C. D. C., but am near to it in spirit and think of it often. Thanks to the occasion of the Third Annual of K. C. D. C., I take the pleasure of congratulating and expressing my most sincere wishes to all Professors for a long and happy life. My regards to the Alumni brothers and student-body of K. C. D. C. Page 18
