This book invites yon, not to study, but to taste and rest. TO ALL THE PEOPLES of the earth, salaam! To the [orincr students of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery at home and a1)road, greetinfj! Of making- many books there is no end, and yet wc do not claim that this one is written that the Scripture might be fulfilled, but rather that the children of this old institution by an effort in fraternal work might show their loyalty to the purposes which animated its founders. If our task has been undertaken with some disadvantage we are not discouraged, and offer no apology, for we remember that some of the first teaching of our College was done in a stable loft, and that the efforts of those who cared for its beginnings met with but scant sympathy and not a little opposition. Here we are then to introduce anew factor in the development of college spirit, to add a new interest to college life, a diversion, and who that recalls the years of such a life would willingly part with the recollection of things not offered in the curriculum. Here we make a record, not for good ancl all, often a scratch in the sands, which the tide of good fortune, or the hidden impulses of growth and development, are welcome to fill up, but just a record in pleasantry of what we are or seem to be. For the benefit of those who do not care to see themselves as they ' re put down, we tell the storj- of the man who by accident found himself crossing the playground of an insane asylum. With much misgiving and trepidation he moved on, when one of the inmates began to pursue him slowly at first, but faster and yet faster till he could feel the hot breath of his pursuer upon his neck, and was about to faint: then with a laugh and a light touch upon his shoulder his supposed destroyer bounded away crying, You ' re it! Now that ' s the case here, You ' re it. not forever, but You ' re it now just the same, ha! ha! and if you don ' t like it, a little fleetness of foot, a little fuller and freer inspiration, a few more regular and stronger heart-beats and you ' ve passed it on. But you must be vigilant if you want to stay in the game, or you may be caught at its close and stay it. 7 It goes without saying that this has not been considered the place to celebrate friendships or sing praises. A spirit of badinage and sportive comment rule here. . 11 too soon the seriousness of life will be upon us; life with its competitions an d struggles, where friendships must count and compliments must serve, but here in a mechanical and legislative way we have corralled the fun, the wit, the humor of the crowd. In after years when serious things occupy your attention, you may like to take this record from some neglected shelf and review the names and the situations. At such times it may be pleasant to recall among the memories of college days the toast of Tiny Tim, with which benediction I close this introduction, God bless us every one. B. Holly Smith. OUR TEACHERS. Our I cacbcrs. IM. «l. foster, M.D., D.D.8. The subject of this sketch, M. W. Foster, M.D., D.D.S., Professor of Pathology and Therapeutics, and Dean of the Baltimore Colleg-e of Dental Surgery during the past seven years, has been associated with dental surroundings all his life: as his father was a practicing dentist and among the first to manufacture porcelain teeth, therefore, as a boy, the doctor became familiar with the methods used. These early surroundings may have influenced him to pursue the study of dentistry when his education was complete. After being in the office of Dr. Jesse C. Green, ' estchester. Pa., for two years as a student, he attended the Philadelphia Dental College, session 1855. In 1856-57 practiced his profession in Indianapolis, returned East and formed an association with Dr. Swazy (a graduate of this school), of Easton, Pa. Later a co-partnership with Dr. Wm. Burkman, same city, after which, 1860-61, he practiced in Wilmington, Del., until the second year of the war. In the latter part of the year 1862 he was associated with Dr. Robert Arthur, of Baltimore, as an assistant, with whom he remained for five years. At this date, 1867, he located in the house now his residence. Dr. Foster was a professor of prosthetic dentistry in the Maryland Dental College and from it received an honorary diploma. When the Maryland Dental College was united with the Baltimore Dental College he served on the Board of ' isitors until he was elected, on the first of May, 1882, to fill the chair he now occupies in this school. In 1879 he received an honorary diploma from the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, was graduated from the Washington University of Medicine in 1883. He was President of National Dental Association in i88g. In igoo he was appointed by the Maryland State Society and the National American Association a delegate to Paris World ' s Convention. mm. Simon, Ph.D., M.D. After having been ushered into this glorious world at a small German village, during a blustering February day of 1844, and after having enjoyed a few years of freedom, his training in harness (the latter resting on his shoulders now for over half a century) was commenced at school. Here the teachers of Greek and Latin dcclarcrl tlic boy 1o be a dunce ami a nuisance, wliile those of natural history and mathematics claimed him most emphatically to be a wondrous briji-ht boy. Next he was placed in a drug store to pass an apprenticeship, full of hardships and of several courtships. These ships having ' finally all been passed successfully, studies were commenced at that little University of Giessen, made famous by having established under the leadership of the immortal Justus von Liebifj the first chemical laboratory in the wide, wide world for |)ul)lic instruction in elementary afifinity and atomic linkage. Having imbibed freely of his Ahna Mater x fountain of wisdom, and enough of the German student ' s national beverage, he was found worthy of the honor to add henceforth a I ' h.D. to his name. While ne.xt engaged as assistant and lecturer at the University, sound waves of the war-trumpet penetrated to the young doctor ' s ears and called him to the field of action, where he had an opportunity to assist in demonstrating to Napoleon III. that he was not permitted to change the geographical map of Europe, as his uncle had been fond of doing. The doctor next accepted an offer, made to him by the Baltimore Chrome Works, to cross the big pond, act as their chemical adviser and demonstrate what German science and German thoroughness would accom- plish wdien harnessed alongside of American skill and American ingenuity. This step he has never regretted, as he found in this young and rapidly developing country a wide and remunerative field for his labors. At that time (1871) there existed as yet not a single chemical laboratory for educational purposes in all Baltimore, and by request of some medical students the young chemist from the other side fitted up a modest place, where he gave practical instruction in chemical operations, and thus laid the foundation for his life-work, . c. teaching. How he ever succeeded in those early days to impart any knowledge to his classes is rather a mystery, because the difficulties of the English language offered an immense obstacle to an intelligent intercourse of thought between teacher and student. However may the pupils have been attracted by the fun of the thing, or by other causes, the fact is recorded that quite a number of the most prominent physicians and pliarmacists attended these first lessons in practical chemistry. Indeed, so successful was this private course that the Maryland College of Pharmacy created the chair of analytical chemistry, which was offered to and gladly accepted by the Doctor. In the following year the College of Physicians and Surgeons was founded and for one session the Doctor delivered the lectures on II chemistry. ATay it bo hoped that the students derived more benefit from the experimental demonstrations tlian from the lectures, still delivei-ed with an accent utterly unintelligible to the hearers. However, the begfinning was made and, indeed, an appointment to a full professorship in the Maryland Collegfe of Pharmacy followed next year, necessitatingf, for want of time, the resignation at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, until some years later the Doctor resumed his duties at this rapidly growing institution, accepting later the chair of chemistry in the P altimore College of Dental Surgery. Dr. Latimer. Dr. Latimer was born, 1839, in Georgia, but upon the death of his father, the family removed, while he was yet a child, to Southern Pennsylvania. He attended public and private schools and enjoyed the advantages of havmg a private tutor. He matriculated at the University of Maryland Medical School in 1859, graduating in 1861. At the outbreak of the Civil War Dr. Latimer espoused the cause of the South, and enlisted April ig as a private in the First Regiment of Md. C. S. A., and went South early in May. After about eight months ' service in the ranks, he was appointed Adjutant Surgeon to the Regiment. Li the spring of 1862, he was made Assistant Medical Purveyor of the Army of Northern Virginia, which position he held until after the battle of Gettysburg. Soon after having had his rank advanced to that of Major Surgeon, he was put in charge of the Robinson Hospital and Confederate States Dispensary, in Richmond. After the fall of Rich- mond he was on his way to join the division of Gen. Jos. E. Johnson, but at Charlotte, N. C, receiving the news of the surrender, returned to Richmond. After a few ' months spent in the Spanish West Indies he came back to irginia, where he spent the winter of 1865-66. Coming to Baltimore in the spring of 1866 with the intention of going to Mexico, he was deterred by a letter from General Early, who advised e.x-Confederates to stay at home. The same year, receiving the appointment of Resident Physician to the University Hospital, he remained with the institution tw ' o years, resigning to begin private practice in which he has received recognition as one of the most skilful physicians in the city, holding a high place among his colleagues, and a large and lucrative practice. Dr. Latimer has also held for many years and is still professor in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, and during the existence of the Post Graduate Medical College, held a professorship in that. He has served as President and Vice-President of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty, and President of the Baltimore Medical Association. Of the writings of Dr. Latimer, the chief is, Anatomy and Physiology of Harris ' L ' rincii)les and rraclicc (if Dentistry. His chapter on CJcreljro-Spinal Meningitis is a well-written |)art in T.ooniis ' lV ' xt-l!ook on iVledicine, and liis many nionoj raplis are papers of recognizerl merit. B. Roily Smith. B. Holly Smith was graduated from the lialtimore Colleye of iJenlal Surfjery in i88r, anci made Assistant Demonstrator of Operative Dentistry Ihe following ' session. He was next appointed Lecturer on Special Anatomy and Dental Materia Medica, later Professor of this chair, and is now Professor of Operative Dentistry and Dental Surgery. He was graduated from the College of Physicians and .Surgeons in 1883, and is now Professor of Operative Dentistry and Dental Surgery as applied to medicine in that institution. He was formerly President of the Maryland State Dental Association and is now Chairman of its Executive Committee. He was at one time President of the Southern Dental Association, also of the National Dental Association; now a member of its Executive Council. He is now President of the National Association of Dental Faculties, of whose Executive Committee he was for some time the Secretary. He is an honorary member of the Washington City Dental Association, New Jersey State Society, North Carolina State Association, Texas State Association, Associate Member of the New York Academy of Stomatology, and New York Odontological Society, and also a member of the Baltimore County Medical Association. Dr. CdtUiam B. f inncy. Dr. William B. Finney, Professor of Dental Mechanism and Metallurgy at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, is one of the foremost dentists of Baltimore. He was born in Accomac County, ' a., August 27, 1854, on the plantation of his father, the late Andrew Gordon Finney. He pursued his studies at the Academy of Locustville, Va., and at William and Mary College. Coming to Baltimore, he acted as bookkeeper for the firm of T. C. Bunting Co., and later entered the ofifice of Dr. R. B. Winder as a private student, concurrently beginning his studies at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. About this time the Maryland Dental College was organized and Dr. ' inder was made its Dean. Here Mr. Finney took his second year course and graduated, being yet under twenty-one years of age. After graduation, he returned to his home, remaining there one year. He then went to Moorefield, Hardy County, W. a., where he practiced three years. 13 In 1S7S, Doctor I ' inney was called to accept the position of Assistant Demonstrator of Operative Dentistry at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. This and the Maryland Dental Collegfe had amalgamated the year previous, adopting the name of the former for the combined institutions. His diploma from the Maryland Dental College entitled him to one from the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery also. Dr. Finney served as Assistant Demonstrator for six months, when he was made Demonstrator of Operative Dentistry, and Demonstrator in Charge of the Infirmary. In this capacity Dr. Finney served for ten years, and during that time did not miss a single day ' s attendance at College. Professor Finney is a member of the Maryland State Dental Association, the Southern Dental Association, and the National Dental Association. He is a Royal Arch Mason, having received that degree when but twenty-two years of age, and (last but not least) up to the present time has remained a bachelor. OlilUain f. Smith, H.B., M-D.

History of Baltimore College of Oental Surgery. T WILL PROBABLY be news to most persons to know that Baltimore has the distinction of having instituted the first dental college in the world, and of having originated the degree of D.D.S., Doctor of Dental Surgery, now used in all parts of Europe, and wherever modern science has gained recognition throughout the world. Yes, such is the case. For many years the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery was the only institution of its kind in existence. It was chartered in 1839 by the Act of the Legislature of the State of Maryland, the following gentlemen constituting the faculty: H. H. Hayden, M.D., Professor of Physiology and Pathology: A. W. Baxley, M.D., Professor of Anatomy; C. A. Harris, M.D., Professor of the Theory and Practice of Dentistry: and Thomas E. Bond, M.D., Professor of Therapeutics. For this reason Baltimore may be said to be the cradle of dentistry and the dental profession. Perhaps of no other profession can it be said, as of dentistry, that its evolution is embraced within the span of one human life. The practical inauguration of the new college presented a difficulty well known in America, when professors often outnumbered students. At length five legitimate students of dentistry were fou nd to covet the honor of the new title D.D.S., and the first course of instruction was given in the winter of 1840-41. The didactic lectures were delivered in a small room, publicly situated, but the teachings of practical anatomy demanded privacy, and other prudential considerations also suggested the use for that purpose of a secluded stable loft, the prejudice of the community against dissection having shown itself some years before. lb IJr. Iltiiul, in liis valedictory In tlir uTadiiates, al ils first coninicinx-iiiciU exercises Marc ' n, 1841. says: You have been taug ' ht that denial surgery is not a new art separate from, and independent of, jjencral medicine; but that it is an important brancii of the science of healing. V ' ou have seen and traced out the exquisitely beautiful machinery by wliich the human organism is everywhere knit togetiier; you have carefully examined the phenomena of health and disease, as they are manifested in the dental arch, its connections and relations, and you have been taught to regard the human body as a whole, united in all its parts, and pervaded everywhere by strong and active sympathies; and your principles (jf practice have been carefully formed on a sound knowledge of general medicine and it is therefore that you nni«t be thoroughly educated in the fundamental branches of medicine as the medical man himself. The College was organized with the design of teaching dentistry as a regular brancli of medicine, and in order to denote the phenomenal progress of the old Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, we will start at the time of its birth, when there were about 1200 practitioners of detitistry in America, more than one-half of whom were ignorant, incapable men, whose knowledge was composed of a few secrets which they had purchased at fabulous prices from other charlatans. Three or four weeks they considered ample time in which to attain all the knowledge necessary to the successful pursuit of the calling. Hence contrast the past with the present. This is the sixty-first year of the career of the College with its prospects for usefulness brighter than ever- It has added to its faculty and clinical corps strong and active men. and is better equipped to carry out the purpose of its inception than at any period of its existence. The results of its work in sixty-one years are world-wide in their influence upon dentistry. Over nineteen hundred graduates have gone from this College into practice, and these are scattered all over the civilized world. They are located in nearly every city of Europe. They lead the profession in all the great centres of civilization and have won eminence in England, France, Russia. Switzerland. Spain and Italy. The have carried the honors of the institution into Asia, Australia, and the land of the pyramids, while in every State in our Republic they have demonstrated their own worth and the excellent training afforded them by their Alma Mater. The) ' have met with signal honor abroad, nearly every court dentist in Europe being a graduate of this institution. The present staff of instructors is composed of the following: 19 faculty. M.

The more centuries a country lias existed the more extensive are its annals. Accordingly an advanced class is expected to submit a much long ' er data of events, but not necessarily a more interesting one. Have you ever seen a rose unfold ? First, nothingf is distinguishable but the spherical bud. It has no points of interest, nor of beauty. It is simply a green mass. Gradually it begins to open, the green slowly gives place to a blushing red, a delicate pink, or perhaps to a pure white. Tiehold I when the sun has reached the zenith, the rose has completely unfolded and presents to view all its beauty, its grandeur, and its loveliness as it gracefully waves to and fro in the breeze. As with the rose, so with the Class of Nineteen-hundred-and-three. At the beginning it was indeed a bunch of greenness, assembled from all portions of the earth. Few rays of intellectual light from the professional world had ever gained admittance into the dark recesses of this promiscuous mass. But as the days glided away, lo ! what a change ! Each minute seemed to develop some faculty, expose a new talent, or increase a power; until now at the close of the session the Freshman class stands as a model for brilliancy, dexterity and skill. This class is only one-third unfolded. Present indications tend to show that when the sun of nineteen hundred and three reaches the zenith, it will be capable of penetrating to any part of that once green body, and cause it to sparkle with such brilliancy that the Faculty of the B. C. D. S. will flash refulgent in its light. This repowned class was organized during the early part of October with a membership of sixty (being the sixth year of the reign of Our Most High and Mighty Tepid Water). Mr. Fred. E. Hatch was unanimously elected to the Presidency, while the Vice-President, George Carr, and the Secretary, Richard A. Ker, were equally honored. The other officers were duly chosen after the usual amount of competition and politics. Around this centre the entire class has revolved, throwing considerable water and plaster of paris in the faces of the upper classmen. Perhaps the events preceding the first meeting will be of interest and bear recording. It seems that it has been the precedent for years for the Seniors and Juniors to be first to assemble within the time-honored walls of the Lecture Hall and hold their class meetings. The Class of Nineteen-hundred-and-three thoug:ht they would attempt to make a departure from this custom. Accordingly a note was sent (by rapid transit) to the lecturer for the purpose of announcing a meeting of that organization. The venerable man likewise received one from the semi-dignified Juniors, and desiring to be courteous (having in mind that olil maxim, age before beauty ), he read in his strong and forcible manner : There will be a meeting of Jvinior Class after this lecture, then proceeded to announce the second which was now void. The Freshmen left the room and the Juniors held undisputed sway. The following day a meeting of the Naught Three ' s was ofificially announced and all first year men remained, each one to assist in forming that gigantic organization which is now heard and read about as the Class of Xineteen-hundred-and-three. Likewise many second and third year men lingered about the room. They were kindly invited to close the doors on the outside — they sent their regrets — for a brief time silence reigned supreme, but it was only for a moment. Then there was a mighty crash and the Naughty Three ' s rushed down on the dignified body of upper classmen like an avalanche. There was a rush and blows And many a bloody nose. For a time H2O and CaS04 were the chief constituents of the atmosphere. Cupp distinguished iiimself with tlie water bucket and received an Order from Dr. HofTmeister- The mighty onrushes of Worrell won for him his office. Foster ' s strength astonished the omnipotent Seniors. The agility of Hess caused the floor to tap many gently on the back of the head. Afford, Vitou and many other heroes made themselves famous during this scrap. At the end of five minutes the upper classmen had evaporated and the Freshmen were left to sing the Te Deum of victory in the ruins of the battle hall. It is conceded by the Senior and Junior classes that the cutest thing they have accomplished during the session is the publication of a poster, which bore the headline, Rules to the Freshmen, and signed by the ' igilant Committee. These dodgers gained for the upper classmen considerable reputation, as is shown by the following clippings : The upper classmen of the B.C.D.S. have issued a poster designating vi hat is consistent for the Freshmen to do while at college. _ It should be appreciated by those for whom it is intended, for it shows the genuine interest taken in them. — Baltimore Peacemaker . The Freshman Chiss of the B.C.D.S. have heen |uilc fortunate in heing brouglU so conspicuously before the iiuhlic by tlie posters published by the Upper Classmen of the said college. We fail to see upon whom is the most ridicule, for the composition and meaning of these dodgers would have done more credit to a Uindergartcn. — ialtiinnrc Observer. One article seemed to make a foreiljle impression on the class of Xaiijjlit Three. It read: Any one defacing or destroying ' these posters will l)e promptly attended by the V ' igilant Committee, or something ' to the same effect. It seemed lo l)e the most earnest flesire of the entire class to be attended by that committee, for within the hour it would have been difficult in the extreiTie to have discovered a trace of tlie once famous posters even with a microscope. Inasmuch as there has been no outcome for that hour ' s work, the conclusion lias been drawn that the committee, like the posters, were poor stufif. Before closing the annals of this history, something said concerning tlie hospitality of our i resident would not be inconsistent. Directly following the election of officers, Mr. Hatch invited the Freshmen and Junior classes to a social banquet. After an evening passed amid merry jokes, witty sayings and choice viands, all returned to their homes in a joyful and exhilarating mood, cherishing a tender feeling in their heart towards the President of the Class of Xineteen-hundredand-three. On the fifteenth of January, the Freshman Class again assembled at an invitation from their President to spend another evening in social intercourse. The Mandolin and Guitar Club was present, and the sweet, quick strains of music issuing from the instruments soon caused a general good humor to prevail. Members of all classes and even visitors responded willingly to toasts or speeches. The feature of the evening was the solos rendered by Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Shea (Freshmen), and Mr. Breining, of the Senior Class. The time seemed to glide away, and when the hour for departure arrived each one voted that it had been one of the most enjoyable evenings ever spent in Baltimore. The session is now drawing to a close. Time and cordiality have brought about a reconciliation among the students of the three classes. The Freshmen have learned to honor and respect the upper classmen, and in turn have won the good-will of all by their willingness, cheerfulness, ingenuity. -So far the Class of Nineteen-hundred-and-three has left a record of which it has reasons to be proud. If each member will always bear in mind our motto, Pergite ! our career through college will be one of dazzling brilliancy, and The Royal Blue and Maroon will sweep a broad circle on the path of glory-making deep resounding echoes along the glittering corridors of fame.

It was a brilliant starry nigflit in January, and ' neath the roof of one of the elegant houses of Baltimore a zealous Freshman lay, all unconscious to the outer world, and his fancies would fain take him to his future home. He is, in a moment ' s time, carried to a land of delight, but he does not see, as he was wont to expect, the pearly gates and streets of gold, but, raising his hand to his eyes, he sees in the distance a personage whom he recognizes as St. Peter, who is standing at the foot of a magnificent golden ladder. He. with cautious footsteps, approaches and inquires the way to Heaven. St. Peter replies that already he is well along on his journey and that now he must ascend the ladder before him, and, handing him a piece of chalk, said: To each and every one who ascends this ladder I give this piece of chalk; you are to write your sins on the rungs of this ladder as you go up and at the end of this you will find your much-sought place. ' ' The Freshman takes the chalk and, stepping to the ladder, writes one sin on the first rung, and, being unable to think of more, he gazes upward and sees, to his great surprise, a noble Senior descending the ladder and he accosts him thus: Oh, most noble Senior, zuhy returnest thou? To which the truthful man replied: I want more chalk. 38 H Chemistry Lesson. {Omilled from Dr. Siiuon ' s Texl-Book. j Baltimore College of Dental Snrg-ery, Sub-Freshman Class (BC FDS.. is an organic compound discovered some years ago, Init of so little importance that it is of scientific interest only. It occurs in nature as irregfular, homog;eneous masses. Its chief characteristic is its glorious uselessness. ' ' Properties. — It is a green substance, insoluble in water, but strangely afifected by alcohol. It is combustible and has a valence of two. It exists neither in form of crystallization nor org:anization, still it is deliquescent, taking ' up water when nothing ' strong:er can be found. It has great affinity for PC (Freshman Class) but is not allowed to unite with it for a year because it would make an unstable compound. It is finally converted into Baltimore College of Dental Surgery F reshman Class (HCi FDS) by the addition of a session. 39 FRESHMAN BOARD OF EDITORS. W. A. Mabie. H. T. Decker. Fred Allen. Mary P.

How to begin and end, and what, and when, and where. This is the proposition that confronted the majority of the m embers of this class as they entered the City of Monuments in (October, 1899. We have begun. A year has sped quickly by. It has been a pleasant and profitable one. We have been rewarded for our year ' s labor and study with the dignified title of Junior. We have abandoned the frills and fancies of our Freshmanhood and have entered upon our second year with a renewed determination to start the new century well. When we entered we were seventy- eight strong. A few have fallen by the wayside, but the number is small. We have been reinforced in our Junior year by enough new enthusiasts from other colleges to bring our number up to seventy-three. To bestow a fitting description upon this class as a whole would be a difficult undertaking. Suffice it to say that we are possessed of all the (W( characteristics of the average American youth of twenty-three years. We make no claims to greatness as a class. We leave that to the individual members. We are content with being considered as the average class. We may have some Horace Wells in our midst, but it will take time and opportunity to develop them. Unquestionably we have some bright ones as well as faithful plodders all striving with vim and energy for a diploma and a degree from our Alma Mater that for many, many years fostered and cared for many a son. To particularize the brilliant characteristics of the individual members of our class and to fully record the many ways in which each has thus early in life distinguished himself, would require one possessed of exceptional biographical ability- We have a member to whom we point with pride because of his beauty, another because of his Chesterfieldian conduct, etc., until the end of the roll. No better plan suggests itself by which the reader may become better acquainted with the young and ambitious caries fighters than to relate some truthful (?) incidents of their college career. 44 BARCLAY MAKING AN INSOLUBLE SALT. EDGAR DENTON BARCLAY Scranton, Pa. Preceptor— B.C.D.S. Edgar has the distinction of being President of our class and a very proud man, partly because of his exalted positimi, IjuI mainly on account of Ills hoy. Going down Eutaw Street last week lie met an old friend whom he had not seen for years. .After the usual greetings IJarclay informed him that he was married anil u as the father of a healthy baby boy, whom every- one claimed was the image of him. The friend looked at him for a moment, and as our President does not wear medals for his facial appearance, he remarked, Well, don ' t you care old man, so long as the child is healthy ! DAVID MORRISON BIGGS Baltimore, Md. Prceeplor— B.C.D.S. David is a quiet and unassuming fellow. He is a great lover of music. One of his many lady frieiifls of this city has a mania for singing, and she is seldom fortunate in striking the right key. He told me of her the other day, and said that he had discovered a remedy for her affliction, and satisfied my curiosity by saying, Well, you see I get a piece of tarred rope and let her chew on that until she gets the right pitch. LEWIS WARREN CROSBY Bridgeport, Conn. Preceptor— F. H. Jackman. D.D.S. Lew comes from that Connecticut town which is noted for its fine cigars. Just before leaving last fall for college he went into a cigar store opposite the depot, bought a cigar, and biting off the end pulled out a piece of calico. He told the proprietor that he didn ' t 45 come there to buy dry goods. The proprietor repHed, Don ' t blame me ; it was the fault of the girl who fiiade it. She didn ' t know the difference between a mother hubbard and a Connecticut wrapper. HENRY LLOYD GALL Thurmont, Md. Trcccptor—B.C.D.S. Henry is a lover of fast horses. A friend of his invited him to take a drive to the Gentlemen ' s Driving Park, and describing the ride afterwards he said, The horse ran so fast the telegraph poles looked like the teeth in a fine tooth-comb. FERDINAND LAUTENBACK, Jr Baltimore, Md. Preceptor — J. C. Sutherland, V.D.S. Fred is noted for his wit. He came into the Lec- ture Room the other morning, and before the lecture he v ' as reading the Baltimore Snii. Turning to his seat- mate he remarked that elopements were getting fash- ionable. Is that so? ' replied his friend. Yes, said Fred, there is an article here of a horse running away with a young widow. M. F. F. MARLIER de ROUTON, M.D., Breda, Holland. Preceptor— B.C. D.S. Doc during the last session cultivated the accjuaintance of two young men. One night after visit- ing one whom he found very sick, he proceeded to climb the fence and save walking around the square. It was so dark that the Doctor did not see where he was going to land, and fell into a well. After he had reached his room and had related his experience, the boys had no sympathy for him, as they said it was his duty to take care of the sick and leave the zvcll alone. LEO BERNARD TEARNEY Cumberland, Md. Preceptor— T. S. ]Vallers, D.D.S. Leo thinks he is a very attractive looking fellow. Last fall he attended a great football game at Phila- delphia, and as he was coming out of the depot some of the hackmen, elated at his beauty, cried out, Han- som ! Hansom ! Hansom ! G. GUY SHOEMAKER Cumberland, Md. Preceptor— H. E. Smith, D.D.S. Guy by name — not by nature. Guy is a lucky fellow. While going down to the dental supply rooms one morning last December he found a pocketbook con- taining $200. Its loss was advertised and Guy returned it. The owner didn ' t even thank him, but wanted Guy to pay interest for the time he had the money. Guy by name — not by nature. ' ' ) CHAS. B. SHOEMAKER Buffalo Mills, Pa. Preceptor— B.C. D.S. Charlie, after returning from Christmas vacation, decided to try a new boarding-house. After finding one he was told to take his overcoat off. as he wouldn ' t 46 feel it when lie vvenl out. Sure enoutjh, lie ilii lii ' l feel it when he eanie out — he has not felt it since. JAMES ARCHIBALD McMURDO, Sommerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Preceptor— B.C. D.S. Jim tells a ver_v good story of what he calls one ot the many incidents of his college life. Last spring, as he was crossing the North River on the ferry-boat, he was attracted by the appearance of a head of golden ( ?) hair, and the owner noticing him staring said, Rub- ber! O, replies Jim, 1 thought it was real! FRANCIS JOSEPH TIERNEY Fall River, Mass. Preceptor— r. P. Sullivan, D.D.S. Frank is a very ambitious student. He pays so much attention to his studies that he is at his books week-days and Sundays, fishdays and holidays, morn- ing, noon and night. JOHAN EMILE BOIVIN St. Albans, Vt. Preceptor- C. S. Campbell, D.D.S. Johan thinks of the Baltimore girls continually. They are so attractive to him that the other night when the Salvation Army band were holding a meeting at the corner of Lexington and Iloward Streets, in the usual act of saving people, Johan walked up to the captain and asked him if he saved men and women. Cer- tainly, replied the captain, iJu you also save girls? asked Johan, and when the captain answered in the affirmative, Johan re])lied, Then f have a friend; would you mind saving us two next Saturday after- noon ? EDWIN WAYNE BICKFORD Rockland, Mc. Preceplors—M. S. Austin,D.D.S., andR. B. Bickfonl,D.D.S. Edwin is always fond of tellingf the boys about w hat happens away up in Maine. The boys were talk- ing about the weather the other day when he said, Why, boys, the wind is so strong up my way that if a man ' s hat blows ofif he has to telegraph to the next town to have some one stop it. 1 EDWARD DEICHMAN, Ji; Baltimore, Md. Preceptor — Geo. L. Deichinan, D.D.S. Ed is the thinnest ( ? ) man in the class. He has to weekdays and Sundays, fishdays and holidays, morn- cutting his suspenders. GEORGE EDWIN SUTPHIN Berkeley. W. Va. Preceptor— S. S. Sictphin, D.D.S. George is a very unlucky fellow. Whenever he travels to or from home there is always an accident happening to the last car. He complained to the direc- tors of the road, and they held a meeting, determined that in the future thev would leave the last car off. 47 asked him to remove I haven ' t anv on. liis mask. Frank repHeil, W ' h BOYCE AND HIS FAVORITE SUIT. FRANCIS J. BOYCE Pleasant Mount, Pa. Preceptor— B.C.D.S. Frank attended a masquerade ball at Lehmann ' s Hall last January. After 12 o ' clock the doorkeeper JOHN DAVIS BURT Saratoga, N. Y. Preceptor— A. C. Rich, D.D.S. Jack is a ver ' attentive ladies ' man. In fact, he considers it essential to the profession to know how to treat the fair sex well. He knows a young lady who resides on Charles Street, and while makino- his usual visit last week he talked over the last ball that he had attended. Suddenly his thoughts wandered back to the nice fish balls which he had for lunch, and he asked. How do you like fish balls? She replied that she didn ' t know : she had never attended one. WILLIAM AUGUSTUS HAYES , . . Charlotte, N. C. Preceptor — Chas. L. Alexander, D.D.S. Will is a sensitive fellow. He believes in practical experience, and therefore in his room he has this motto : Honesty is the best policy, turned toward the wall. It happened in this way, when returning from luncheon one afternoon Bill found a lady ' s gold watch on Madi- son Avenue. The following morning its loss was advertised in the Baltimore Sun. He went promptlv to return it, and from the poor description decided to call again in the afternoon. This time the young lady was there, and also a detective. The young lady claimed that Bill looked very much like the man who stood near her at the meeting of the Woman ' s Reform Club when the lights, went out. He was arrested as a pickpocket, and it took him four hours to convince the police that the lady was mistaken. CORBETT WRITING CLASS HISTORY BY THE LIGHT OF HIS OWN COUNTENANCE. THOS.

During his last vacation he thought he would do a little manual labor. He finally got a job baking bread. One night the bottom fell out of the oven, and as there was a graveyard near, he got a tombstone and placed it in the oven for a bottom and commenced to bake again. Mac got his discharge the next day. The customers brought the bread back, and on the bottom of each loaf was, Sacred to the memory of Patrick Flynn. WILLIAM CALHOUN DRAKEFORD . . Tuskepee, Ala. Preceptor— B.C.D.S. William conies from a very warm part of the countrv.

Just before Christmas vaca- tion he invested in an overcoat. Standing in front of the College one day he remarked to a fellow-student, I will bet you the first girl that will pass will make them ' goo-goo ' eyes at this coat. Poor Bob — he lost ; the first girl to go by was blind. EDGAR L.. VEGA BOONE Troy, Ala. Preceptor— T. E. Cross tc_y, D.D.S. Edgar is a very cautious fellow. The first of last April, as he was coming up Baltimore Street he stepped into one of the leading banks of the city and asked for a loan of $500,000. Upon being asked what security he could give he modestly pointed to his right cheek- bone. The president of the bank gazed at him with wonder, and at the thought of rejecting such a piece of armor-plate nerve he replied with tears in his voice. Aly young man, you arouse my admiration. I should like to accommodate you, liut we have no vault large enough to store it. WILLIAM LYNN HAZLETT Butler, Pa. Preceptor— M. D. k ' oltraha, D.D.S.

Allie is a member of a whist club in this citv. After the games the other night each one told a story: the best story would win a cake. Allie s won.

S8 ' ' Over Zbcrcr (Al ' OLOCIKS -ll) •I ' ll I ' ' . I ' ' a(II IV.) J - One night we sat in Lecture Hall, And the Lecture was old and dry, And slowly together my eyelids would fall, Though really to keep them open I ' d try. And I sat there and slept, And sleeping, I dreamed. And to spirit land I ascended, it seemed. And forms all robed in purest white Float by, each smiles at me. And scanning each resplendent face I find them friends to be. But though in glory now they stand. And in clay no longer dress them. The badge of earth ' s prosperity Still seems to cling to and invest them. Crowned with the victor ' s laurel wreath Our revered dean does stand. But the glasses which really were made for his eye; He still (32d time) idly twirls in his hand. A jolly spook comes dancing by, ■We all know that smiling face. There ' s no Liquid Air, Dr. Simon, up here. But there may be some Science in space. Another form looms up in view; It ' s Dr. Latimer from our College. By some student ' s joke he ' s been tickled to death. And of his portly form there ' s naught left but knowledge. And e ' en up here in this heavenly land Amusement is provided, For Dr. B. Holly Smith on a see-saw is seen Wh ere chicks of all sizes are guided. Dr. Hoffmeister. with blue goggles on. Makes ambrosia with mortar and peslle. Dr. Burgess starting the love-feast fire With a leaky blowpipe does wrestle. Two more figures appear, but instead of white Their robes are of purest gold; Though robed alike they walk apart — Drs. Waters and Gingrich, I ' m told. Scanning a little pale star, all off to itself. Dr. Will Smith, with earnest gaze Stands; he ' s trying maybe to find If Bacteria lurk in its rays. Nearby, on a velvety knoll. With cheek by hand supported. Lies Dr. Will Foster — at last he ' s at rest. By no Infirmarv thwarted. 59 In this happy hunting ground, With trappings girded strong, Miglity men are seen; Dr. Hardy is one, And Coriell, the short and the long. On a streamle t ' s bank stands Dr. Evans ' bower; JVo .■Jdiiii Zance, posted round far and near; But Dr. Milholland is trying his skill, . nd Evans ' hands will be full, I fear, Adown the vale that follows the stream A troop of angels make laughter echo; There ' s Kelsey, Lever, Parsons, too. And that very bright aureole must be Dunbracco. Among the flowers so Fresh and fair. Sits Dr. Gore, his head in his hand; He ' s glad, I suppose, plugger days are o ' er. Since he joined this celestial band. Dr. Palmer here still has his plate (But it ' s filled with ambrosia now). And he likes the flavor of VValhalla ' s dish Better than rulilier or brass, I trow. In the midst of these friends, with upturned face, Casson Gibson I find. Thinking alas (it ' s dreadful to state). Of the wealth he has left behind. Angels vanish, the stream disappears, The stars even fade away ; Gra cious ! I awake with a start ; Lecture is over, I ' m happly to say. Bessie Burns Bennett. Cbc Dentist ' s Dream. Last evening I was talking With a dentist, aged and gray. Who told me of a dream he had, I think ' twas Christmas day. While snoozing in his office. The vision came to view, For he saw an angel enter. Dressed in garments white and new. Said the angel, I ' m from heaven. The Lord just sent me down, . nd bring you up to glory. And put on your golden crown. You ' ve been a friend to everyone. And worked hard night and day. You have doctored many thousands. And from few received your pay. So we want you up in glory, For you have labored hard, And the good Lord is preparing Your eternal just reward. Then ,the angel and the dentist Started up toward glory ' s gate. But when passing-close to hades. The angel murmured, Wait. 60 I have a place lo slinw you; It ' s the hottest place ' in hell, Where the ones who never paid you Til torment always dwell. And. behold, the dentist saw there His old patients by the score, And grabbing up a chair and fan, He wished for nothing more: But was bound to sit and watch thcni. As they ' d sizzle, singe and burn. And his eyes would rest on debtors Whichever way they ' d turn. Said the angel, Come on, doctor. There ' s the pearly gates I see; Piut the dentist only inurmured, This is heaven enough for me. The coldest maid in all the world Is a maiden fair to see. Should she turn on you her liquid gaze. You ' d straightway frozen be. If I should tell this maiden ' s name I know you would agree; For her name is Ethyl Chloride And she ' s often frozen me. 6r Student ' s jVIcnu. MONDAY. Roast beef to-night for dinner! I ate to beat tlie Dutcli. A treat like that ' s unusual: We don ' t get many such. TUESDAY. The aftermath we ' ve garnered Of yesterday ' s delight. From that fine roast they gave us Some nice cold cuts to-night. THURSDAY. It seems Miss Skimp ' s investment In roast was not so rash As we supposed. This evening ' Twas served again as hash. FRIDAY. To-day we all were grateful To get a little fish. No beef, we hope, remaining To form another dish. WEDNESDAY. That luscious roast of Monday Is lingering with us yet; ' Twas served to us this evening Disguised as beef croquette. SATURDAY. Ah, me! To-night we greeted Once more our dear old friend — The beef bones boiled for potage, Well, this must be the end. Gee whiz! This beats the record!

Miss McGlumphy was seen at one of the recent large wedding receptions in a ravishing gown of black spangle net cut very decollette, and was the cynosure of all eyes. Baltimore society was greatly surprised at the announcement of the wedding of one of its famous belles, ] Iiss Ehringhaus. The wedding was a quiet one and the happy couple will make an extended trip to Old Point Comfort on their honeymoon, returning by the way of Norfolk and Richmond. Miss Boyce has a new dissecting gown of oil of cinnamon color, which is quite the thing.

Then to avoid the rush, He quickly hastened to the Dean, Who was waiting for his dust. So all went well until m turn A quiz for us on bones. When Doctor Smith had called the roll. Such groans were never known. The Juniors and the Seniors then, With laughter and delight, Would queer us with a Freshman yell At such a frightful sight. And then a firm, a glance so stern, A sudden change in life: We gracefully then climbed the stairs Of the College for our strife. On every side the anxious throng Pressed through from pit to dome, Until we reached the Infirmar} ' , And then the Lecture Room. But quizzes soon had come to pass, Vhen on the board thus ran : The Freshman now may draw their seats For Tommy ' s last exam. ' Twas then ere long that joyful song Was heard in every room. That moved each heart with great delight; ' Twas dear old Home, Sweet Home. And there ' s where the change took place ; The faculty was known. Hip! hoorah I the College yell. The session then begun.

As the last fading- rays of September glided rapidly into the ocean of eternity, there ushered into Ijaltimore a conglomeration of Doctors to be, to the tune of four- score and three, who, kee]iing time, time, time, in a sort of runic rhyme. as the timid-looking class of Fresh- men was ushered through the old College corridors to contribute fuel to that already inextinguishable flame of knowledge burning in the shrine of learning (and to contril)ute their fees to the l)ank account of the Faculty). The class is the largest in the history of the College numerically, moderately moral, and strictly genteel. We hail from twent}-one L ' nited States, one District, and seven countries not yet annexed, though our boundaries are expanding so rajiidly that were I Prophet instead of Historian I would venture the prediction that the foreigners of the class will do homage to Old Glory and be under the protection of Uncle Sam ere these young gentlemen acquire wealth or fame by the practice of dental surgery. We have gathered from all i arts of our glorious L ' nion — from wdiere the Atlantic ' s waves kiss the rising sun to where the Pacific ' s golden waters lull to rest the setting orb : from the ice-bound coast of Maine to the great hills of the Sunny South. So we came as a mountain stream rushing onwartl through the enchanted regions of romance, and we came as a fragrant stream of knowdedge, nourishing each flower upon its banks. The birds filling the atmo- sphere with swelling waves of melody sang our praises ( and the police recorded our deeds). Even the grass with its beautiful mantle of green seemed to turn pale with envy as we passed ( for never before had it been brought into rivalr_ - with a greener greenness). Shortly subsequent to our first entry into the Lecture Hall after we had gradually become accustomed (between naps) to the habit of examining the lofty roof and rafters of the machine which has made so many 75 1.

As we ]3ass from the halls that have been our training school, though foreboding ' s of future failing may haunt us, yet our comforting assurance is tiiat our course has been spent prpfitably, not only in the battle with the world, but in making friendships tliat will be firm through life, and tl ' iat the associations connected with our college life will be jileasing subjects for thought over the evening pipe ' ' ■ill years to- conic. But now, in stating who we are, it will depend very much on the vantage ground from wdiich we are viewed. We say we are the peo])le ; the h ' aculty seem to think that we are a good thing, and the police have come to the eonchision that we are a nuisance. Ye gods! what reputation is ours (in the police courts). Take up the student ' s burden — A great and praiseworthy thing; Go place upon his brow The cap of wisdom ' s sting. Crown him with knowledge and wit galore. For examinations will soon be here, And he will need even more. Alas, for the intellectual looking man — he will soon discover the error of his ways when he awakes to the conclusion that what he does not know will fill two Congressional Libraries : throw in Gray ' s Anatomy, Simon ' s Chemistry, Hoffmeister ' s Materia Medica, and various other obsolete volumes. Time passed pleasantly enough during our first or Freshman year, except the early part of the session. when we were just emerging from the dim mist of uncertainty that shrouds the initial }-ear of study: for one cannot but marvel at the general air of densit ■ that characterizes the very existence of the student in the first portion of his course. I say dense — well, this is the most appropriate word with which to describe a student ' s life during the first year. But when time had flown well enotigh along to allow tis to feel our importance, we fought our battles as the audacious Freshman only can. However, it was not unusual for a little conflict to exist between our 77 j: ftv B,- 17 C r.1. PEABODY. 22. G- E. ROBARGE. 27. D. W. BROWN. 18 A. S. FREEMAN. 23. A. T. ORTIZ. 28. T. J.

But probalily one of the most remarkable events of our i ' resliinan year was tlie theatre party given by the three classes ; and this indeed proved a decided success, so much so that there isn ' t a theatre manager in the city of Baltimore who would entertain for one moment consideration for a college theatre party again ; hence we made our last appearance at the rVuditorium Music Hall, Thanks,givin,g Eve, 1898. Well, we went in to improve every moment of the darkest hours in the gloom of night, and after selecting about twenty-one thoroughbreds, apparently having good musical talents, we organized a band to escort the School to the theatre. But, verily, verilv, their talents had been hidden away in a napkin of safe deposit and trust company, and the interest drawn therefrom was nihil. The next step was to appoint the bandmaster, and unfortunately they selected myself, and not being versed in the tirst principles of a brass band, I decided to get pasteboard horns, and accordingly call it the College Zobo Band. At the morning lecture a notice on the board ran as follows: Band practice this afternoon at 2.30 at 507 West Mulberry Street. Bring all horns and drums with }-ou. B)- order of Leader. The above place was my study -room, and in response thereto there assembled a very enthusiastic bod}- of choice spirits : but that evening my room-mate and I received a notice from the landlady to please vacate our room as soon as possible. Our next practice was held with the same results at our new place of abode. Hence we achieved the record of making week stands at the boarding-houses and were compelled to rehearse elsewhere. But finally, after several attempts, we led the procession to the Music Hall Thanksgiving Eve. filling the still night 79 33. J. A. STUART. 34. J. WILSON. 35. B. R, POWELL. 36. H. STONER. 38. J. H.

The hniise was crowded ti its utmost capacity; the actresses were all llfjatin}.c tlie Collcj c colors, and everything ' went along ' very sniouthly, save the Zobo iiand, our horns not rendering the soft strains as those of tlie orchestra, and consecjtiently ahnul every fifteen minutes we were notified by three or four corpulent and iierce-looking o-entlenien to please kee]) lliciii d thint s still. l- ' vidently we were receiving no credit for the good work we were doing. When the Dean appeared upon the rostrum the following evening at 5 o ' clock he bowed his thanks profusely to the boys for their excellent conduct at the theatre the ]3revious night, at the same time expressing the humiliation experienced by different members of the Faculty in the boxes by the unruly conduct of that band iif would-be music-makers. At last delightful April, with its budding flowers and balmy zephyrs, came to relieve the monotony of this uncertain life, and this delightful month was a godsend to the Class of 1901, for it gave them one more chance to breathe fresh country air, to shake off the shackles of a restricted life, to close those in.struments of torture, the text-books, and, for awhile at least, to flee as a bird back to the home of their childhood anfl the bosoms of their families. As Juniors, on some aftenioons before the lecturer was due, for a diversion we inaugurated the penny mark and other innocent (?) games in the laboratories. These games were conducted on the Chicago plan, a la Meckel ' s administration, and this would generally continue until Levonian. our noble Turk. would win all the pennies in sight, and then refuse to make a loan. As the days rolled b} , the apjjearance of piety and fear that so mark ' edly characterized our Freshman year, rapidly began to disappear, and the members boldly and intrepidly started to agitate each gliding hour. It was then that we began to recognize the facility with which we could cut lectures, gained only after long practice, and again call to mind the cpiiz-sneakers, our cup of pleasure runneth over. We occasionally listened to an intermediate lecture, and the freedom with which Professor Foster illustrated legal principles of dental practice with jokes and funny stories was a very pleasant diversion for us; but it was soon noticeable that this freedom was replaced with caution, and it was very amusing to see our favorite lecturer glance -warily over his glasses to ascertain whether Lakin was absent, or DooHttle asleep : before the tale was told, naturally a prima facie presumption arises that said illustrations were not intended for the ears of mamma. ?5f ' .■; ' if I JSttiM 49.

These, indeed, were duties and responsihilities very arduous. They may l)e compared to those laid upon Hamlet: The effect of a great action laid upon a soul unfit for the |)erformance of it. Hut with brave hearts and enthusiastic hopes these hardy sons of toil robed themselves with the arnifjr of might and waited patiently for the fight in the final examinations, and emerging therefrom founfl, much to our consternation. that a small part of our number were either stuck in the mud of anatomy or lost in the wilderness of chemistry. October i, igoo, saw the reappearance of the now famous igoi ' s as Seniors. . 11 had fully recovered, and were ready to step into the ring once more to battle for supremacy. The relative position of the ladder- climbers has changed somewhat, perhaps, but there still exists a howling, angry mob around the top, and great will be the credit due him who finally stands forth as the victor in the battle-royal. But time alone will tell the tale — we, after all, are nought but puppets with whicli the fates amuse themselves — so let credit be to him who falls fighting valiantly, as well as to him who fights and lives to reap his reward. When time had now flown well enough along to allow the Freshman Class of 1903 to feel its importance and to become obstreperous, it became evident that measures would have to be taken to reduce this presump- tuous gang of youths to their proper status. Consequently our President called a special meeting, in which we devised means to accomplish this task. The following day there were found hanging on the walls of the College mysterious posters which read as follows : Rule . Freshmen must be more respectful to Y. AI. C. A.

The}- must not rush down in front after the speaker has made his appearance at the desk iiT the Lecture Hall. 4. They must remain in their seats at class until the upper classmen have gone out. Rule III. Freshmen will not be allowed to dis- cuss class afifairs in the College, or in any way make a disturbance. 1. No quartette singing, and 2. No Colleee veils allowed b - Freshmen. Rrij ' -.

Rule A ' I. .Any n-iember of the Freshman Class violating these rules will be reported to the Vigilance Committee, and said Freshman will be dealt with according to the.nature of the case. Rule VII. Upon convicting evidence any one de- facing or in any way mutilating these posters will be dealt with bv the Lookout Committee, according to Rule VI. By order of Upper Cl.assmen. The Freshmen naturally took exception to this summary manner in which they were dealt with, and the result was an increased growth of whiskers and an independent strut that would have put the s tage villain to shame. We have made records in the athletic field, for at baseball, football and on the track most of us were usually there, making life a horror with our tiny spieler ' s horns and tinkling cowbells. These little horns we bequeath to our posterity, to enable them to shout our praises when - ve are far away. Some of us have a speaking acquaintance with the pastors and Sunday School teachers of this Christian city, and are not unknown at the Y. M. C. A., while all of the crew can spot a free-lunch counter or dodge a cop. 86 We have not nc. icdecl tlie ladies, yonn. , or old, and all licaulifnl. ' I ' o these students ' widows we wave a last fond adieu. We loved you as ]M-eshmen, Juniors and Seniors. May our successors be more interesting than vc liave heen.

We must from this land he gone. Smile your sweetest smiles on those who come after us. May you never grow old or ugly! We are told hy those who have imhihed ' at the fountain of wisdom that wc should not hrood over the dreary past, nor dream of the uncertain future, but that we should live in the ])rescnt (auA cat all we can). And I am afraid that many who are firm advocates of everything that falleth from the li])s of the wise will. when examinations come, wish they had sailed more frequently on the sea of the uncertain future. What we have accomplished in our studies, time alone can tell. If we fail, the fault is all our own. for in no school are pupils more intelligently and faithfully instructed than in the old B. C. D. S. To the whole corps of instructors, individually and collectively, I, for the Class of 1901. desire to record our gratitude for, and express our appreciation of, your untiring efTorts in our behalf. You have been patient when we were inattentive or dull, courteous when we were rebellious or despondent, and at all times you have sought to fill our minds with the knowledge of our chosen profession, and of how to practically apply what we have learned. And now, my companions, our class history ends and the battle of life begins. For years we have been associated together. In College halls, in the Infirmary and Laboratories we have .studied and striven to fit ourselves for what lies before us. y s we part and wend our several ways back home, let us resolve to carry from the old College only love for each other, veneration for our Alma Mater and profound respect for our professors, and as we mingle with our fellow-men may it be our highest ambition to become Christian gen- tlemen ; not envious, plodding tooth-carpenters, but skilled and courteous Doctors of Dental Surgery-.

How many of the Class of 1901 shall meet again in the time that is to lie, when some at least, of our ambitions are realized; our hopes and aspirations but memories of the past, and our immature judgments shall lie replaced by that founded upon a truer knowledge of ourselves, and a wider acquaintance with the world. Doubtless some few of us shall be vouchsafed the pleasure of an occasional reunion and then with what gusto shall we recall the friendships of our college days. The old Lecture Hall with its beautiful works of art ; the Laboratory, scene of many a fistic encounter and futile attempt to accomplish results never dreamed of, and the merry song of the lecture bell that said, Ding, dong, come along and listen to my story. And what delightful romances they were ! How we crowded into the softly cushioned seats eagerly drinking in all their poetic lieauty and gazing with rapture on our erstwhile friend of the tomb, sus]5ended in the most unconventional manner by his cranium, or handling with impunity the leviathans of sea or jungle. The Class of 1901 will, 1 have no doubt, reflect credit upon the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery — already a distinguished institution — for it is a generally conceded fact that since the advent of this class into Baltimore, the hatters have had to increase the size of hats worn hitherto to a much larger degree, and at a convention held a few days ago by these same individuals, certain of them remarked that the sale of soft hats to the stud ents of this class was greater and the size larger than thosQ worn Isy the members of any preceding class. One skeptical gentleman advanced the opinion that the increased head distention was not entirely due to mental development, but rather to Welsh rabbits and cold bottles, for he had heard on the quiet that they were hot stuff. His remarks were frowned upon by the others, some of whom declared they had found upon close obser- vation that the cranial sutures of some of us were gradually giving way to the intellectual form enclosed by them. This is the more remarkable, because some one said we had recently given evidence of softening of the brain, a condition, no doubt, due to the late period at which we were weaned: It is, in fact, a mooted question 98 in the medical pri ifession wlietlier a few of us slioiiK! not lie Icillefl off for ilic purpose of invcstigatinfj this remarkable plieiiomena. There is a report current, sub njsa, tliat the s];cciniens rjf l ridj c an ' l crown work may be put upon exhibition at Steelton, to show the remarkable pro{?ress oi moflern blacksinilhy. Their ultimate destination, however, is the Smithsonian Institute at Wasliinj ' ton, which is S ' oin to be enlarged for the purpose. We understand that Dr. Hardy has been requested l)y the L ' nited States (jovernmcnt to fnriiisli specimens of plate work made by Seniors, to serve as targets for the new naval guns, a distinction never before conferred upon any similar institution in the world. The fame of this class is not confined to our own country, for although it is not generally known, it i.- a matter of fact that Dr. Foster has received requests from the Courts at JSerlin, Vienna anrl London to furnish them with dentists from this year ' s graduating class, the only stipulation being that we shall work on the royal farms when not otherwise employed, as they understand we ' re a lot of farmers. One of our most distinguished classmates, a fellow of infinite jest, after running the gamut of all the vices, has determined to devote the rest of his life to the elevation of a higher moral standarfl among the students. At the celebrated temperance rallies held at the College, he mav be heard discoursing in the following w ' i.se: My dear young friends, in much pertur1)atii)n and hi.gh wrought vexation, in .grief and desperation, and great tribidation, 1 will give you an oration — an oration on the deplorable effects of whisky, porter and ale. How many a poor relation, possessed of a first-rate education, but alas, of a vicious inclination, becomes habituated to the deep potation, and in spite of admonition, snap his finger at his reputation, and horrible infatuation, enters the dens of blue ruination, and quaffs the poisoned drug of contamination. Then he becomes philosophical and proves to a nicet} ' the physical law of gravitation by getting dead drunk, and becoming attracted to the earth liy way of a practical demonstration. His kind friends now leave him to his own meditation, hoping he may soon enjoy the benefit of a pleasanter habitation, and so on ad libitniii. Dr. Foster, Jr., says that our work in the Infirmary is sim]3l ' wonderful, patients returning again and again to have the same teeth treated and refilled. Our charming Miss was overheard to remark that, although she came for to admire and for to see. she was resolved to have no filling done until next year. And we all said that ' s strange. 99 Ill the year 1925. having made a modest forUine of a million dollars hy a new method of How to make learnint; ' eas}- without study, 1 resolved to renew the friendships of my eollege days. To faeilitatc my movements I bought a flying machine, recently invented hy Dr. Peabody, of New Jersey, who [H-aised it very highly, Init the blamed thing w ' ouldn ' t work, and when 1 demanded my money back he threatened to kick me out, but while his back was turned I stole a full upper and lower set of gold teeth which he wore, and skipped by the light of the moon. Nothing daunted b - this shabby treatment 1 came to Baltimore, but what a change. My new method was working to perfection, and the students hailed me as the greatest benefactor of the age. I sauntered into the plaster room of the College, and upon my word there were the same okl vulcanizcrs puffing out steam and singing, .Men mav come, and men may go, but 1 go on forever. The I ' aculty was all changed. Dr. Foster, still vigorous and flourishing like a green bay tree, had retired from active practice, and was receiving the reward which comes to all good men and true. Dr. Latimer, the scholarly, ha l retired to enjoy a well-earned rest, and find pleasure in the solitude of his study. He was still an occasional eontrilnitor to medical science. Age could not w-ither, or custom stale his infinite variety. I think Shakespeare must have had in mind a man of this kind when he said, His ways were gentle and the elements so mixed in him that Nature might stand up and say to all the world, ' This was a man. ' Dr. Simon had found the philosopher ' s stone and was enjoying the rewards of his discovery in a quiet way at his country home, fulfilling to some extent the words of Pope : - ' - Happy the man whose wish and cares A few paternal acres bound, Content to breathe his native air in his own gronnd, Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread. Whose flocks supply him with attire; Whose trees in summer yield him shade, in winter fire. Blest who can unconcernedly find liours, days and years glide soft away, In healtli of body, peace of mind, quiet by day, Sound sleep by night, study and ease Together mixed, sweet recreation And innocence which most does please with mediation. Thus let me live, unseen, unknown; Thus, unlamented, let me die. Steal from the world, and not a stone tell where I lie. Dr. ] lofnieislcr was now occupying tlic C ' luiir (jf CliL-inislry, and liad rt-ccnlly inihlished a Itook, cntitied The Study of Chemistry Made Easy, which was havinj a large circulation. i )r. Finney had bought a dehghtful place in the country, and his hlrjoded stock was worth a small for- tune lie might be seen occasionally behind a spanking pair of bays, handling the riblxjns like a major. Dr. Will Smith was still flourishing, and his fame as an anatomist was still ripe. Dr. Foster, Jr., was still dispensing gold in the Infirmary, but he said he never expected to see again the wonderful results accomplished by the Class of 1901. This was praise, indeed. Dr. B. Holly Smith was now editor of the ( «(Y rf 5 r f J Denial Joiinial. largely quoted in Europe, and devoting much of his time to original investigations in dental science. Dr. Hardy had been appointed a member of the National Board of Examiners, at a salary of $io,cxx) a year. Dr. Dunbracco had almost lost his voice answering questions put to him by students in the Infirmary. His hand, once the most cunning in preparing cavities for us, was now thin and pale from overwork, but he was hoping against Iiope for a class like that of J901, but, Ah, me! said he, never again shall I behold sucli admirable work, such preparation of cavities, such consolidation of gold. He paused, overcome by the recol- lection. Dr. Burgess was living on Mount Vei non Place, close to the Monument, to which he had built a remark- able bridge which he called Burgess ' Bridge, which, like Katisha ' s shoulder blade, was worth .going miles to see. As I was going down the College stairs I met the Shade of Thomas, the janitor, who wore a melancholy mien, and when I asked him the cause, he said some of the students had broken into his office downstairs, and stolen his old corduroys, which they were using for polishing wheels. I said. Thomas, how are the boys getting along? He shook his head sadlv, and then his face lighted up for a moment as he murmured, Glorious 1901. I left Baltimore with mingled feelings of pleasure and regret to visit some of my old classmates. Paul was raising a family, each member of which was wearing a gold set of teeth, and when I remarked upon this, he told me they had worn their natural organs off eating peanuts, a pernicious habit which he him- self had acquired at college and bequeathed to them. Gaylord had an office in Chinatown, San Francisco, and was doing a good business among the Mongolians. Hamilton, Pm sorry to say, was playing comedy parts with a modest vaudeville company, while Bailey was fillins; ilie aml)itious role of anni_)uncer at all the celebrated prize fights. Jlc has made a ruliher plate inr the champion, which has iie -er heeii lirokeii, and when any one asks who made it, he answers, 1, liailey, of the Class of 1901. Hood was giving clinics in crown ami bridge wi)rk in all the colleges of the Sonth. and the better to adver- tise his wnrk, had his person adorned with gold cusps, tilled with tin. Rosenthal was dentist in ordinary to His Majesty, the Emperor of Austria, but when I met him he was ery sad. I said, Doctor, whence this sadness ? He then told me that the Emperor had notified him to remox ' e his mustache or be dismissed from Court. He placed his hands u])on ni}- shoulders and said, Shall 1 do it? I said, Certainly. I can find a use for them. So .1 gave them to Schneider, who is cultivating them assiduously. 1 was informed, not on the best autlKjrity, however, that the dex ' il paid a visit to Roberts one night with the request that he make him a bridge, as he understood they were the only kind that wouldn ' t burn up. He inti- mated at the same time that he would appoint him his special dentist in the near future, because he found that the work of the Class of IQOI so excellent that it would probably last until the end of time. Diebert is the patentee of a device for making gold fillings stay in any cavity, but recently he loaned it to Logan, who failed to return it, and there is every promise of a lively time wdien the case comes to Court. It consists of a small mechanical device with adjustments regulated to any sized cavity, an excavator with a blade on the side to both clean out decay and trim margins at the same time, and a short barrel, with a ram-rod like arrangement to pack in the .gold. A wonderful invention, indeed. Clark, Smith, liurleson, Watson and Sinks had formed the Great Southwestern Dental Association, with branch offices in all the large cities of Texas. They had built a joke factory, of which Smith was foreman. I couldn ' t find Livonian. I heard he had gone to Tokio to practice there. Davis was practicing in Kentucky, but some of his friends told me they felt sorry for him, because he was guilty of an unpardonable oilense. I asked them what it was, and they told me, with many hems and haws, that he drank his wdiisky diluted with water. I was, indeed astonished, and promised to bring the matter before the members of the Class of 1901. Such conduct is much to be regretted. Dr. Simon, Jr.. had his lal)oratory equipped with several large anvils and blowpipes, and when I inquired the cause for the presence of these, he cautiously informed me that he had received several large orders for the animals at the zoo. Rfyiiolcls and Graves were practicing in a liule place called Sleep) ' Town, aiul it was well named, for the people slept three months every year. Some said this was the reason why Reynolds and Graves settled the re. 1 know when 1 called on them, they could not be roused, and the office man told me they had been sleeping lor almost three months. This was a remarkable case of affinity, for when one was sick the other was invariably so. 1 bad often noticed llieir a|)pearance at leclnres, and 1 tbinl they must have contracted this habit at college. Chapman was using a new kind of tilling nialerial made from nutmeg |)aste, Init wdien 1 saw him, the poor fellow was in a peck of trouble. It seemed he had recently filled some molars for a lady with this material, but she complained some time afterwards of feeling an enlargement of the gums, and when he examined them he found nutmegs growing there. She threatened to sue him for $5000 damages. Edmonson was still using my old flask, shears, mallet, pliers, etc. . ' s I was leaving his office in Coon- town he struck me for a ' , as he said he hadn ' t enough money to pay for a shave. Higgins hadn ' t quite finished the Richmond crown be was making in 1901, but hoped to have it finished shortly. Edwards bad just learned the formation of a tooth after twenty years of study, and was rather elated over his attempt. 1 le gave me a bad cigar which made me very sick. He said it was the brand he used at college. Miss Walker was still working ' on the man ' s teeth which she commenced in our last year at college, and he was aging rapidly under the ordeal. Miss Brush had married a wealthy foreigner and was now the Marchioness de Bourgeilles. McGlumphy had to buy his own tobacco now, as he couldn ' t borrow any more. It was a matter of com- mon report that he tried one night to walk away with the Congressional Library Building at Washington merely to inspect it more closely, intending to return it, of course, but was prevented by the authorities. He was still following his old custom of visiting the mechanical laboratory and taking up the specimens for examination. Meineking was still wearing the old regulating appliance on his front teeth, and his taste for sauer-kraut was manifested by the peculiar odor which pervaded his office. When I called upon JNIitchell he was cooking his dinner over an alcohol lamp, and apologized for his modest repast, on the plea that ever since he left Baltimore his stomach would not take choice food, but only pie. As he lived in the Great Pie Belt he was raising theixi in a small garden attached to his office. His wife was applying for a divorce because she could get no rest. He seemed to have some form of mania, constantly repeating. There is no bond of union 103 between tooth structure and sold. Eureka! Class of 1901. We ' re the stuli. Salt of the earth. You can ' t heat us. Schlinkmann was busily engaged on a patent detachment bridge, and was only waiting for a good angel to come along with a large barrel and a pull. Ladd, of the mellifluent voice, was trying to organize a quartet of male voices to sing college songs, and as I had heard him many years ago I asked him to favor me with a sample of his vocal powers. He did so, and here out of kindness I draw the curtain, for I ' ve been a confirmed invalid ever since. I had to return home, but at some future time I propose to visit the other members of my old class, and recall the days When all the world was young, lads, And all the leaves were green. And every goose a swan, lad. And every lass a queen; Then hey for boat and spur, lad. And round the world away, For youth will have its fling, lad. And every dog his day. Ki7igsley. J. HiGGINS. 104 Retrospect. Yes, sir, I just g;ot in about two hours ago, and have been looking for the CoUege ever since. Yes, I ' m from ' est ' irginia. Saw it on the bag, didn ' t you? Didn ' t want to lose that bag; got all my clothes in it. Say, I had a hard time to find this place. I thought the new Court House was the College from the description in the catalogue. I met a policeman down there and he told me what that place was, and told me how to get here. The policeman on the corner told me how to get in here. He said to go up the step between the butcher shop and Katz, but I guess he was guying me. I saw the butcher shop, but I didn ' t see any cats. In looking for the Dean, to register, I went into the College Infirmary to get his address and overheard the above conversation, or at least the part above recorded. I appreciated the troubles he had gone through, for they were similar to my own, so I proposed we go see the Dean together. After a short walk we arrived at the Dean ' s residence, and were ushered into the parlor. Presently a tall distinguished looking man. with an iron-gray mustache and a kindly open face, came in, and said in a pleasant voice, Well, gentlemen, can I do anything for you ? We intimated that we wished to become students at the Oldest Dental College in the World, and were at that moment prepared to undergo what- ever forms or initiations were necessary. The Dean immediately got down to business, and .going to his desk, invited us to sign our names in a little book which he produced. The various lines were numbered, I signing on line number twelve, and my new- found friend on thirteen, after making some cabalistic signs and mumbling some inarticulate words, which I suppose to ward off any evil consquences which might result from the said unlucky number. After signing our names the Dean gave us each a card which was to admit us to the lectures, etc., for which he charged us $5 a piece. He then informed us that we must pay the tuition fee of $100 in advance, which we both did, having no one older and wiser in college ways, particularly Dean ' s ways, to advise us. Continuing he told us how much we had profited by entering college that year, in fact had saved a whole year, as it was more than probable that the National Association would at i-ts next meeting in August increase 106 the course to four years, .After sniiu- ijartin - advice ami a pleasant smile to each (I sup|josc at how easy we were) he hade us good-day, and we started to find a hrjarding-house. Outside the Dean ' s front door J (we ' ll call him Tom for short j, stopped, while a trouijjed look came over his face. Say, pard, he said, I ' ve ot to sit down and rest awhile; you don ' t mind, do you? ' J he all-fired fact is these paths are so darn liaril with all these bricks on them that my feet hurt, and I have to take my boots off a bit and give theni a rest. Suiting the action to the word he drew off his boots with a sigh of relief and settled himself down in comfort. Suddenly straightening himself up he undid the strap of his telescope, and lifting the lid he brought forth a quart of moonshine, which he handed to me, saying, Let ' s drink to luck and getting through college ; but say, I hated to give a hundred dollars so quick. I agreed with him thoroughly, for a ten-dollar bill was a rara avis to me, but when it came to a whole flock of them, T would have liked to keep them longer to become more familiar with the sight. We discussed the best ways of finding some place to board, and after hearing what both had to say it was decided that as policemen had helped Tom out on two different occasions that day% we would try a third time. Accordingly we walked up Charles Street towards the Monument, which Tom declared to be a waste of good stones, unless some one would build a house around it and use it for a chimney. We found an officer resting against a railing, and after he had wakened up and taken a drink of Tom ' s whisk} ' ( which the latter had transferred from his grip to his pocket to be ready for emergencies), he kindly directed us to three or four houses in the immediate neighborhood. After counting over what the Dean had left us I found I had S12.38, and as I could not get any more for a month from home, I decided I could not aft ' ord more than $2.50 per week for board. My companion said that this was his outside figure, so that part of the problem being settled we started for the first house we were directed to, which happened to be on Mount ' ernon Place. A darkey opened the door in response to our ring, and after stating our business, he looking us carefully over, grinning a little bit as he did so, and told us. Dat de house was clean full up, and de landlady wasn ' t at home nohow. The second house we applied at was on West Monument Street. Here our reception was a little more cordial. We were shown into a large parlor, which startled us at first by its richness, and the fear of knocking something over. We settled ourselves awkwardly on the edge of a sofa and waited patiently for the landlady to appear. 107 Prt ' soiitly Uktc was a swisliing ' of skirts, ami a niiddle-aj ed lady with a kindly face entered and bowed formally to us. We were both embarrassed to such an extent that we forj ot where our tongues were, and cast our eyes around the carpet in search of them. You sent word by the servant that you wanted to see ' me about rooms? Yes, ma ' am — that is — if — if it isn ' t too much trouble. Oh, no! of course not. Now tell me what you want, and how long you want the rooms for, and how nuich you want to pay, and do you want private baths? We told her that we each wanted a room, that we wanted to pay $2.50 a week, and that as far as private baths were concerned, that while we didn ' t always take them in private in the country, we guessed we had better do so in the city. She said she was very sorry she could not accommodate us, but that she had a friend whose name and number she could not rememlier, Init she was on Argyle Avenue, and if we went up there she thought we could tind the place and get what we wanted. We thanked her for the interest she showed in us, and for her kindness in directing us, and started again. After numerous directions we at last found the street and the first house {much to our surprise) happened to be a boarding-house. After considerable conversation, which consisted principally in the narration of our histories and hearing the history of our landlady and all her relations, and how she had been reduced from opulence to poverty, retaining only a few old famil} ' heirlooms which she showed us, the only one which I remember being a cross made of wax flowers in a deep frame with a glass cover, which at one time was one of the embellishments of a distant relative ' s funeral. We agreed to pay $2.25 per v ' eek apiece, for which we were to occupy one bed in one room and have three meals per diem. The room was not large or cheerful, but we were so elated at being settled that we did not notice such trifles as these, nor did we notice that supper was a little slim, and that those things that we liked best had a nasty habit of just giving out when we asked for them. We spent the rest of the da} ' arranging the room, and as both were tired we went to bed early. The bed felt a little like sleeping on a pile of firewood, and when we turned it sounded like a loose shutter in a wdnd storm, otherwise we did right well. On our way to the College in the morning my friend informed me that he was going to get his books and some instruments at once so he would not waste anv time, and that as I could not get mine just then I could use his until I got some. 108 I rrnu ' inlKT s ' oiii, ' into the Lcclurc I lall a liltlc iicrvf)usly, iifil so nnicli (f am afraiflj from the realica- liiiii of ihe gfirt ' c rcspoiisibililics I was iiiidcrlcikiii! . as from the sliouls and unearthly noises emanatinj ' from the students ah ' eady there, all of which noise seemed directed straif ht at me. iieiiifj modest and unobtrusive I took a back seal ( for which 1 was afterwards thank fid, as Tom was later put out of liis .scat by a j rior claimant). The noise wliich had sli.i;iuly modified, broke out as ain afresh at the entrance of the I ' rofessor wlio was to lecture. 1 didn ' t understand nuich of the lecture, nor of many that followed it, but 1 kc])t still and triefl to pay attention. Later in the year I diihi ' t pay attention, but worried those in front of me who pretended tliey dirl. After the lecture a student came up and asked me : Are you in a section? I don ' t know, I replied; what ' s tiiat ? Why, you have to be in a section of eight men. I don ' t know what for, Init I ' ll put vou in ours. This was the first introduction to real work wdiich soon startetl for mi- and made me feel that all my time was not being wastcil. Another feature which soon amused and also worried me was the quiz. It amused me to hear others quizzed, but a morbid fear crept over me w hen it was my turn to be called. When I did not know the subject there was always the question in my mind whether to sit like a clam and say nothing, or to open my mouth and put my foot in it. Dr. Simon was my special dread. When he quizzed it was like playing tag with a liall and chain on your leg, and when he finished you felt like a Presbyterian hearse horse at a Baptist funeral. On returning to dinner my room-mate showed me the books he had purchased. First, there was a Dun- glison ' s Dictionary. He bought this so he could look up words he did not understand in lecture. Secondh-, a volume on crown and bridge work, which he proposed to study at once, as some one had told him that bridge work paid the most money. Extracting the first tooth was an event in my college experience that I will long remember, as will also the Senior in charge that da) ' . I had made him promise that when my turn came he would give me the proper forceps to use, as I did not know one from another. My turn came in the shape of a large and burly negro. He was seated in the chair, and after the Senior had examined the tooth he handed me the forceps, pointed out the tooth, and in order that I might make no 109 luisiakt ' . put his face down close enonL;h to sec all that was s oini:; ' on. 1 iL;(it a lii ht . rip on the tooth and com- menced to pull, but the tooth would not come out. After a few more instructions and a few deft turns of the wrist the tooth suddenly made up its mind to come ont and surprise us. My arm flew widely around, the forceps striking the Senior in the lip and cuttiuL; it. lie fell back against two Freshmen, one of whom put his arm through the window, wdiile the darkey, not understanding the racket and not being c|uite certain of what would next hapi en, made a break for the door, upsetting P ' reshmen, chairs, spittoons and whatever else was in the way. It was some few minutes before we rang the bell for the next patient. Christinas vacation passed quietly, except on Lexington Street on Christmas Eve, which seance we duly attended dressed in cow-bells, horns and other trinkets. Soon after our return we commenced to plug for examinations, wdiich would soon take place. We had during the }ear gained a various assortment of knowl- edge, but in taking stock we found that not much of it could be depended upon. For instance, we knew where we could buy the largest glass of beer for a nickel, how early we had to go to the theatre to get a good seat in peanut heaven, where they raffled turkeys Saturday nights, how to soothe our landlady ' s ruffled spirits, and what members of the class could be found on Lexington Street and when. It was only after commencement that we felt that we were out of long clothes and able to walk alone. Until the Seniors, with their overwhelming knowdedge and learning, were out of the way, we felt we were but helpless children, and but pigmies compared to them ; but now on the second step of the ladder we commenced to accumulate that air of superiority and condescension wdTich only reaches its zenith when the final Senior marks are in. Returning in our Junior year, we were not so green and innocent. We had learned the ropes, and felt at home. We did not hurry to the Dean to pay our tuition : in fact, it took more than one fervent and energetic appeal to rouse in us the consciousness that a profession costs money to obtain. The Junior year is marked by two great and absorbing pastimes, the dissecting room and the chemical laboratory work. The dissecting-room, as may be imagined, is the source of the greatest delight. A sickly feeling comes over you as you enter the door of the P. S. You are very brave wdien you are buying your instruments, and wdien you are paying your fee, but somehow this leaves you like your best friends when you lose vour money, as soon as you mount the stairs. The odor that greets you as you enter is not reassuring, but with a determination to do or die, and to hide your streak of yaller from the others, you boldly approach and niicdvcr [hv siilijccts. If you arc ri.q;lit foxy you will be some distance away when the Demonstrator says, Shave the head, or if you arc unlucky cnou.y;h to be ready you will probably start 1)ack witli an audible L ' gh! so soon as your hand touches that cold, clammy thing;. Dissecting becomes such an all-absorbing thought for the next few weeks tliat you forget all other things. You stop rolling cigarettes, for the odor of tobacco might offend the corpse. Your meals have no fascina- tion for you, and meat is loathsome. This short period is undoubtedly the haijjjiest ( ?) of the year. Dr. Hoffmeister also dallies with us to some extent in this year. He takes us in the Laboratory, and like a mighty magician shows each man how he can obtain a dififerent colored liquid out of one bottle. During the latter part of the session (provided the Senior Class are as bright as we arej we meet Dr. Will Foster and come under his protective wing, and incidentally that of the Dental Protective ssociation ; that is, we are now to enter on Infirmary work. Oiu- first patient arouses a haunting dread lest we betray our ignorance, or lest the instrument may decide to take a course other than that intended and so do some irreparable damage, both to the patient and our reputation. The tooth is harder than we thought, and the instruments will insist on rattling on the teeth instead of cutting as they should. The engine bur insists on running round the teeth and over the tongue, instead of cutting out the decay, while the rubber dam must have been saturated with the imp of the perverse when it was made. These troubles are soon surmounted and we feel that now we are on the last turn before the stretch is reached. Now comes the third and golden year, Avhen hope of honors to be won alternates with fears of being flunked. We now begin to feel to a slight extent the aforementioned grazr responsibilities, which feeling is accentuated when you devitalize a pulp with arsenic, and the patient failing to show up for a week, you spend the time speculating on what you will say to the coroner ' s jury. In this year you give advice and help to the lower classmen (often guessing yourself;, with the air and manner of one who knows it all. The duties of the year are not confined alone to College walls. There is much to be done before we leave our .lliiia Mater that must be done early. Distribution of our smiling faces, pasted on the largest pasteboard we can find, is an important event of the year, outranking all other duties. W ' eekly or bi-weekly trips to the Auditorium and Palm Garden are also important duties that must be religiously attended to. Roll-call is an institution that causes considerable annoyance during the year, for the startling regularity with which it is called, only«on days when you are absent, is most perplexing. The Dean and Dr. Latimer are so scilicitous for _ oiir aih ' anccnienl lliat durini; ' tlie _ ear lliey exert so nuieli (|uizzini;- power upon _ ()ii ihat yon feel very much like a boiled rat on a block of ice. Infirmary ]iatients seem to be leagued ajj ' ainst you for the purpose of keejiinj:;- yon at ojaerative work as long as possible. If an amalgam fillino- is to be put in, or teeth are to be cleaned, the ]:)atient is waiting for the doors to open, but if the engagement is for a gold filling, the}- seem to have important business elsewhere at that particular moment. The crowning event of the Senior year is the day the marks are read. Numerous visits are first to be made to thirst parlors and wet goods shops, in order that we may have a firm foundation whereon to erect a monument to our jov or build a reservoir in which to drown our sorrows. All is now over but the shouting; that is Commencement. A week is now kindly provided us by the Faculty, in which to hire dress suits and gowns and prime ourselves to face the dignified Dean and bow gracefully as he hands us our sheepskin. Addresses are exchanged and promptly lost, plans hurriedly made, and much bustle and confusion thereby ensues. At last good-bys are said, good wishes for the future exchanged, and we separate, each to go to his chosen place to alleviate human suffering and incidentally to gather the shekels in. It is but proper in closing to thank the Faculty, the Lecturers and Demonstrators, for the kindness and patience shown to us. Each of us, deep down in his heart, knows that all of those with whom we are brought in contact during our college course have ever been ready to assist us, both practically and with good advice. and we can always remember with a grateful feeling their endeavors in our behalf. R. E. Edw.vrds. Senior Class farewell. The Senior Class, in finishing its course of studies at the Baltimore College Dental Surgery, bids farewell to the College and classmen of the Junior and Freshman years, fis a sad thing to say farewell to the insti- tution which has given to most of us the knowledge and requirements of the dental practitioner. It is also a pleasure to tliinlv that our time has come when we can feel that we are at last through with the trouble of college life and have at last attained that point which we have all been striving for during these three years. All of us have found within the classes and outside the College friends whom we shall always remember, and probably it is tlie hardest work for us to say farewell to these friends, whom we may never see again. One can hardly do justice to the hospitality of the good people of Baltimore in so short a space, but the class is unanimous, I know, in extending its thanks for the many pleasures which have been afforded us during our stay here. The Faculty of our College should not be slighted here, for many of them, and also the Demon- strators, have given us many pleasant occasions at their homes. It is my opinion that not a few of the Seniors will have a greater task in saying farewell to the fairer sex, for which Baltimore may rightly claim first place. And these to-be doctors will go away no doubt with determination in their hearts to return again at some future time when fortune and a good practice has smiled upon them, and all can guess the rest of the story. Farewell! a word that must be, and hath been! A sound which makes us linger — yet — Farewell! W. C. Chapman. 113 SENIOR BOARD OF EDITORS. A . S . Freeman. J. M. Peabody. C. L. Meineking. J. G. Logan.

And those who know thee — know all words are faint. Those wlio may consider this book of enough vahie to pass away a few moments of their leisure time, I will try to interest by telling of some of the lectures we receive from the members of our distinguished Faculty, the equal of which cannot be found on this earth (outside of some small country school-house with one pupil ) . First of all, I will tell you about our Dean, the Honorable ALWhilldin Foster, M.D., D.D.S., an esteemed old gentleman, grown gray in the effort to instil knowledge in the minds of the would-be dentists ; a man whose name alone is sufficient to give a reputation to any institution with which he is connected. He is the man who is known among the boys as Tepid Water, not on account of being hot stufT, but from his wonderful knowledge of tepid water. I will, before passing, give you a facsimile of a lecture by the grand old man of our noble profession. At 5 o ' clock in walks the honorable, white-haired gentleman, greeted by shouts of roll-call! After from three to five minutes the lioys cease shouting and Tepid Water, astonished by the warm reception, looks amazed, but soon recovers, takes off his glasses and proceeds as follows: Gentlemen, it is not necessary for me to call the roll, as we have a more improved method. You see that hole in that door? Through that Thomas collects the numbers of the vacant seats. Now, gentlemen, I will give you some New Year ' s advice. Now is the time for you to study, and not put it oft ' until the eleventh hour ; and if you flunk in the examination it will be useless for you to come down to my office with tears in your e} ' es and say you are ashamed to go home. So. boys, take my advice and study and keep away from Lexington Street and other places of amuse- ment. I will now tell you something that you have heard many times before in regard to that wonderful remedy, ' tepid water, ' which is very useful to the dentist. In treating teeth with or without pulps, use plenty of ' tepid water, ' as it is the best germicide we know of. 124 CaiUiam f. Smith, H.H., JVI.D. J will now hasten lo Icll uu alj(nit Dr. VVni. Smith, uur Anatuniist, the man who Jianfllcs the bones. He enters the Lecture Mali three times each week — Monday at lo o ' clock, Tuesday at i i and Wednesday at lo. It makes but little difference whether I have stated tlie ccjrrect lecture hours or not, for if you liave missed his lecture it is so much gained, as all you would learn would be that you knew nothing, ' in ref ard to liis subject. He stands behind the desk and handles the skeleton with such a familiarity that one mij ht think tliey were old college chums. Such is not the case, as 1 have questioned the Professor in regard to the subject. He told me that the skeleton from which he lectures was made by Jiailey, the carpenter of the Senior Class. Before passing I will give you an idea of a quiz by this man. We all know that he can catch us if he so desires, but as he is very considerate he calls on Jim Stuart and asks him the function of the foramen magnum. The answer comes in a loud, clear voice, It is the opening in the skull through w ' hich the food passes into the stomach. V ' ery good, indeed, says the Professor. Mr. Haggerty, where is the heart situ- ated? .After feeling in the region where the heart is situated, he replies: I liaven ' t any; mv puella has it. Cbomas 8. Latimer, JVI.D. 1 must not forget Ur. Thomas Latimer, the man whom the boys all like. 1 don ' t know whether it is on account of his winning ways or on account of the interesting subject with which he deals — that is, Compara- tive Anatomy in Relation to Dentistry. The boys all attend his lectures, not always because they a|g, inclined to learn comparative anatomy, but because lie is very strict in calling the roll. He has all kinds of objects wdiich he claims are the reinains of dead animals, and that ends it. The nianncr in which he pronounces some of the names is remarkalile. He meets the class on Tuesdays and Fridays at 12 o ' clock. He spends the first ten minutes of his hour in calling the roll. Davis, Ken- tucky. C)ne of his man}- friends shouts Sick! and he is excused. Simon, Maryland. Here. Where? Here. Raise your hand, gentlemen, when your name is called. William Benjamin Flynn. Fall River, Massachusetts. Gone home for the holidays, comes from the rear, etc. When the roll-call is finished the lecture begins, but after a short time the boys have become so charmed by the interesting subject that they may be heard snoring, es])eciall ' those in the rear. Good-day, gentlemen ; I will see vou again Friday ' . B. Roily Smith, M.D., D.D.S. This is tiie man who has the reputation of Jieing; the best joker in the Faculty. It is he who lectures on nitrous oxide and other an.Tsthetics. His subjects being- oral sur ' ery and operative dentistry, it is he who cuts his lectures short, not on account of severe headaches, Init on account of not kn(j vins ' of anything else to amuse the class. Gentlemen, }ou all know that nitrous oxide is the safest anesthetic we have, but nevertheless care must be exercised in its administration. I will now relate to you a case which happened while i was a Demonstrator at this College. [Takes out handkerchief and wipes back his mustache.] There was a lady come to the College to have some teeth extracted. She desired to take gas to produce anajsthesia, and naturally all the boys, some thirty or forty in num1)er, stood around with eyes dilated and mouths wide open while the lady was anesthetized and the teeth extracted, or, more correctly speaking, broken olt at the gingival margin. After a few minutes she regained consciousness and I asked her how the gas affected her. She said, T imagined I saw angels floating around in the air. ' So you see what wonderful pro])erties this agent possesses, wdien it has the power of converting dental students into angels. The class go into hysterics at the thought that the_ ' may some day become angels. I must have order, gentlemen, and before proceeding I take the liberty to ask our friends from North Carolina, who have brought a •ear ' s supph ' of peanuts with them, to cease eating them during the lecture hour, or 1 shall ask them to share with me. Laughter and Ha! ha! comes from the class. Before com- pleting the subject of X2O, if there is anvone in the class who volunteers to become a subject I will willingly give the class a clinic. Bailey, with his fog-horn voice, yells Goo-goo! which is a nickname the bovs have for our friend Edmondson, of Tennessee. He kindly volunteers to sacrifice his precious life for science. ' ell, gentlemen, I will bid you good evening, and see you again to-morrow evening, when [ will admin- ister the gas to our courageous volunteer. Thursday at 5 o ' clock in walks B. Holly, as he is usually called. I will tell you what has happened in the meantime. The boys have made arrangements for Goo-goo ' s funeral and have agreed to wake him at Paljst Garden. They have selected his pall-bearers. Those who have been selected to perform this grave work are ] Iessrs. ' right, Jarrett, Paul and ' itou. The class have gone so far as to order his tombstone, on wdiich is to be inscribed: He lived for others; he died for his class. I have strayed from the lecture. 1 will now return. 126 As I have previously said, B. Holly enters at 5 o ' clock, wearing a broad, grim smile. He walks over to where Thomas, our janitor, has arranged the chair where Goo-goo is to meet his fate. Then Goo-goo, who has all this time been quietly smoking a cigarette, arises and with tlie air of one who is about to perform a heroic deed or contribute something to science, walks to the chair. Then 13. Holly, after placing his hand on Goo-goo ' s shoulder, asks him a few questions. Edmond.son, being an apt student, knows how to answer. B. Holly asks Edmondson if he wishes any ojjcration performed, and Goo-goo replies, A shave, please. Everything being now ready, the hood is jjlaccd over Goo-goo ' s face and Schlink- mann turns on the gas. Edmondson breathes deep and long and is soon in the excited stage, and exclaims, It cost me $11.70, but I didn ' t do it. This stage is soon passed and Goo-goo is dead to the world for the time being. After recovering, Edmondson gets up and staggers to his seat amid the tumult of the class. Gentlemen, I feel indebted to this young man, the hero of his class, whose heroism cannot be expressed in words, and 1 am sure the entire class unite with me in thanking him for his great sacrifice. Three cheers then come from the class, both for B. Holly and Goo-goo. After the shouting has ceased B. Holly ])ids the boys good night. Camiam B. finncy, D.D.8. Dr. Wm. li. Finney is our Professor of Mechanical Dentistry. This is a branch which, if one wishes to become renow ncd in, he must possess mechanical skill and artistic taste. He is the man who has the clinics in the Lecture Hall to the satisfaction of all the students who seem to be interested in this work. Sometimes he mixes sand preparatory to running a zinc die. I recall what he has often said : You must not have your sand too wet, asi it will cause Imlililes in your die, and if too dry it will crumble. This work is very important. though }-ou can teach }-our olfice boy how to do it. I only do it once a year, that is when I demonstrate here, as it takes me a month to get nn- hands in condition to operate. Boys, do not get discouraged if everything does not go like clock-work, as I run across difficulties even after my twenty-five years of experience. If you make a plate for an old lady, and after you place it in the mouth you see that it fits perfectly, and she tells you she cannot wear it, just ' jolly her along. ' Gentlemen, I will leave you. At our next meeting we will discuss the subject of impression materials and have a clinic on the same. I neglected to state that this Professor favors the class with his presence twice a week, Tuesday at 9 o ' clock and Thursday at the same hour. CailUatn Simon, ph.D., JM.D. Dr. Simon meets Senior Class. Good morning, gentlemen. 1 have heard that there is- much dissatisfaction among the members of this class on account of 1 having quizzed the Freshmen. Now I will favor the Senior Class, and allow you to displa}- your remarkable chemical knowledge. 1 know }ou are all great chemists. Therefore I will call on our friend. Air. Smith, Texas. What are the chemical elements of which the human body is composed? Smith answers : Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, then he frowns and Watson prompts him in a whisper loud enough to be heard across the room and Smith answers the remaining elements. cry good, says Dr. Simon. We will now ask Mr. Ortiz to tell all he knows of hydrogen peroxide. Mr. Ortiz : It is a chemical compound of hydrogen and oxygen ; it is used by the colored race for bleaching their sk ' in : but its most important use is for the pnr]:)ose of obtaining that peroxide blonde which the young ladies desire and the young men admire. 1 would like to be able to stay with } ' ou longer, to enable you to display- more of your chemical knowledge, but as m_ ' time is limited I must leave you. edward Roff mcistcr, ph.D., D.D.S. I will now tell }-ou about the voungest man of our Faculty. He is very boyish in appearance, but old in knowledge. The manner in which he enumerates drugs is marvelous. Fie meets the class at 5 o ' clock on Friday, and Saturday morning at 9. As you have fieen given a facsimile of the other lectures, it would be floing you, and also the Professor, for whom I have the greatest respect, a great injustice if 1 did nut tell you the manner in which he ])Uts the boys to sleep. At 5 o ' clock he enters, greeted as usual by shouts, whistling, and the stamping of feet. After this has subsided somewhat, voices are heard from all parts of the room, Story! story! The Doctor, after recovering from the shock which this reception has occasioned, says; Gentlemen, I cannot express my appre- ciation for this unanimous applause, but as one of my New Year ' s resolutions was to abstain from story-telling, I hope you will excuse me. Instead of telling you a story, I will try to amuse you by lecturing on a few drugs. Opium, with its sixteen or more alkaloids. You need learn only six of them, but I will include all in the enumeration. Coca, with its alkaloid cocaine ; liclladonna, with its alkaloid atropine : and nux vomica, with 128 the alkaloid slr (.■Jiiiiiir.

A. was organized at the University of ' irginia, and twenty-five years since the Intercolle iate Movement of North rVmerica was started at Prince- ton, the work has only activelv begun in this College during the present } ' ear. There are now 559 Student Associations in the country affiliated with the movement, and the total memliershi]:) is 40.000. This makes it by far the largest student club in the world. In several of the largest cities of the United States the colleges are grouped together into an Intercolle- giate Department of the Central V. M. C. A., and we are one of eight Associations which are united to form such a Department in ISaltimore. A hat the work means to schools where it is firmly established is hard to express in a few words. Firstly, it should raise the whole moral tone of the institution. This has been very apparent in Baltimore, in more than one case, where professors have testified to greater order, bet ter work, and less idleness and vice. On this ground alone it is worthy of the support of all quiet anti steady men. Then it develops individual character. Here is its greatest mission. Those who begin college with high ambitions and noble aspirations can foster them and grow up into strong and useful men. not losing their high standards, but testifying to them. Lastly, it promotes earnest Christian living, and helps men to hold up an example of their Master to those around — not by any means an easy thing. The activity of our Association is at present directed toward a strong Bible Class, with eight members to start with. These men are taking a systematic course of study, the text-book being Murray ' s Studies in the Life of Christ. By the end of the year we hope to have at least thirty members in the Association, and we intend to send a delegate to the Northfield Students ' Conference, where 600 students meet for ten days to discuss Association work, and to listen to some of the finest speakers in the country. 140 ' ' ' ' ■ t|i wiliKtili fmHWIf.Kifliilllll ' ll(| ffl ' tf ' ll lUilWffl BaecbalL It is astonishing- that tliere has not been a good iiaseball team in this College heretofore. There were likely enough baseball players, but active and able leaders were missing. The originators of this team are Mr. I ' . J. I ' ailey, Massachusetts, and Mr. J. H. Schlinkmann, West Virginia, who are both old baseball players, having ])layed in various leagues. The two gentlemen came together and their favorite topics were anecdotes of baseball. , t last one suggested to organize a team in the College, and on January 16, 1901, they called a meeting of all those interested in the game, which was largeh- attended. . lr. l!aile_ -, acting as temporary chairman, incorporated the team.

The team will be selected from these candidates, and we are sure to produce one of the finest college teams of the United States. Every one of them will receive a special training in batting, base-running ' , catching ' . pitching, etc. We are going to engage one of the very best baseball players, who will make it a specialty to coach our team and bring it up to the mark by teaching and training every man separately. A ' ith this 143 expert liolp we expect to send forth a good, active and clever team, wiiicli will bring- honor to our old 1:5. C. D. S. in this line also. IW May we expect to he able to send out the lUue and the Old Gold team, which we hope will prove to play as one of the finest teams on the diamond, for the stock is some of the best ever gathered together in a college, many having formerly played in various leagues. We also hope that the R. C. D. S. will keep on cultivating this excellent sport, and keep up the good team for all time to come, even if the leaders, Mr. liailey and Mr. Schlinkmann, are not members of it any more, who both deserve the credit for starting and arranging this team. May the Blue and the Old Gold team win the championship over the other college teams, and bring home trophies of their bravery and skill, that when our sons should some day come to the B. C. D. S. to learn the noble profession of their fathers, they will be proud of being members of the old, glorious institution, and they will keep up the spotless record of our old B. C. D. S. Ch.as. L.

Ten years ago there was formed in the Collejuc tlie first (jry;anizalion io ]jc known as tlie Cjiee Club of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. Before that time several unsucecssful attemjjts were made to organize such a clul) from among the students, although from liiiK ' tu lime there apjiearcd in the College soloists of ability who took ])art in many of the College entertainments, in 1895 the organization was again made by ten students, and since then it has been, jjermanent, with a membership varying from ten to thirty-two. Not until 1896 was there any attempt to form a Mandolin and f luitar Club, During that year there was organized a quartet; the next year the membership was increased to ten, including two soloists, a violinist and a mando- linist. The largest club in the history of the organization was during the session of 1899-1900; then it con- sisted of a Mandolin and Guitar Club of twelve and a Clec Club of twenty members. At the present time the memliership is fourteen : Dr. VV. G. Foster, Manager. •pirst Mandolins. Second Mandolin. A. Leslie Leighton (Director). L. A. Ladd. Wm. Weichselbaum. Mandela. Violin. -plutc.

IS3 Definition of a Sleeper. A sleeper is one who sleeps. A sleeper is that ill wliieh a sleeper sleeps. A sleeper is that on which a sleeper runs while the sleeper sleeps. Therefore, while the sleeper in the sleeper sleeps, the sleeper carries the sleeper over the sleeper, until the slee]5er which carries the sleeper, jump the sleepei and wake the sleeper in the sleeper by striking the sleeper under the sleeper on the sleeper, and there is no longer an ' sleeper, sleeping in the sleeper on the sleeper.

It is with fear and imiihliiit;- lliat I appnjacli this mooted question; one mi wliicli bright and alilc writers have disagreed, i offer as an excuse fur my temerit} ' the fact that some of my ideas may be of use to my fellow-students, if not to the profession at large, and may at times hcl]) them over a difficult place. The subject can be conveniently divided in two parts. l ' ' irst. we will discuss the retention of the canine. Personally, I favor its retention, when I am on other people ' s property and the canine is by reputa- tion aggressive. I think it also well to retain it when its reputa- tion is doubtful, and the external covering of your lower extremities is of recent manufacture. The most dire results have occurred from the non-retention of canines on muddy days, even canines whose history and temperament was most favorable. I have seen an otherwise skillful operator retire from a case of this character, with a polka-dot suit of clothes that would have done credit to a fancy cake-walk, or a jockey after a race on a muddy track. Cases have also been reported wdiere operators have lost their meals and temper by neglecting the proper precautions in the treatment of canines. Non-retention is indicated (being owner of the canine) when, ait the dark and silent hour of mid- night, when witches ride the air on brooms, the graves give . [ their dead and iron-clad warriors of ages past ride out upon tlie road with reckless speed; your neighljor, a dusky deacon, strengthened with a large and growing appetite and empty larder, steals forth with stealthy step (and a capacious sack; to lake unto himself your feathered Brigham Youngs, their wives and children. ISefore closing I wish to trespass on most dan- gerous ground, viz : Implantation. When, through some unfortunate accident, the canine is loosened and removed from its socket (the dog-house), the operator is figuratively and literally (if the vegetable is near at handj up a tree. There are in this instance but two courses to |wrsue : Implantation and ventilation. If the owner of the canine is in the immediate vicinity, it is well to begin by urging him most earn- estly and persuasively to return the canine to its socket. You should give him the most precise and minute instructions, in order that the offending mem- ber be properly returned and most firmly fixed in its accustomed place. I- ' : me further caution you not, under such cir- cumstances, to use your own hands in the operation. Ventilation must and can only be performed with a suitable instrument. Those most in use can be used live times with- out refilling, and are usually carried in the hip pocket. and as Bill Nye said, are little articles for the venti- lation of the human anatomy. I think they will work equally as well on the canine. 155 R. E. Edw. rds. College 6nvironment9. Years ago, through days so dreary. Dentists pondered, weak and weary. Without a single volume of our now far-famed lore, Then some wise men did found a college. Where they mig ' ht imbibe some knowledge — Oldest College on any shore. Still it stands this noble college (There we now imbibe our knowledge). Stands towering grandly ' twixt a shoe and toy store, Windows bear the dust of ages. Couldn ' t be described in pages, Oldest College on any shore. meets your wo nder- Up the broad stone steps you scurry To the Infirmary door you hurry — Aspect charming of caries farmin: ing gaze. Workers in white over chairs in cherry Tell you in accents decided very. This College pays. To the brightest window wander. Turn your gaze over yonder — Pet Emporium, Butter and Eggs, and Poultry loom in view. Let your eyes glance up the street Hardware and Poultry again you meet. Oldest College has sights for you. ' Gainst its walls stands the old Peanut Man. Who will tell you, if in English he can. That many a nickel of his fortune came from our students ' store. Across the street stands the Walzl Building , With marble front and turret gilding, Across from our College in Baltimore. From this gay sight your senses tear, Ascend to the tiny salon on tlie stair, ■ Where the vulcanizers challenge lather and jilasler with a roar. Plere the works of art are made, Here the talent is displayed Of the College known the whole world o ' er. Upward push along to glory, Here you ' ll find the Laboratory, Where lockers, lathes and workmen have iheir home. Here sometimes the brownies fly. And that I know is the reason why Things oft roam. Pass across to a little door Here of Chemicals there is a store, Also a place for people to come who desire a full rubber denture. If you make a plate, all nonsense abolish. For if you don ' t give it a first-class polish, Dr. Hardy will censure. Next door to this, in spotless order (?), Cream painted walls, with oaken border. Is the spacious Lecture Hall (ceiling many feet in height). Students enter, all noise ceases. In old oaken seats they take their places; They always do what ' s right. This dear old place isn ' t much for looks. Though it is cracked up in the College books, But still we love it truly, e ' en the windows dust befurled. And every student here Sings the praises, far and near. Of the oldest Dental College in the world. Bessie Burns Bennett. IS6 Rhyme and Reason. 1 He who goes slowly goes safely, and goes far. — Anon.

AniDiit;- the many phases of a man ' s Ufe there is perhaps none vvhicli he treasures more than that of his college course.. To such of us as have been fortunate enough to secure its advantages it comes back as a pleasant experience. Along with the hard work, the worry, and the excitement of exams., there are scattered some of the good times that fall to the lot of the average student, with baseball, football, glee and instrumental clubs, and last, but not by any means least, the girls ; his spare time is fully occupied. .And it is during his college career that many a man has found the woman of his choice, the one who has consented to share his sorrows and joys, sympathizing with Iiim in his trials and rejoicing in his prosperity. It is universally conceded that apart from fitting a young fellow for his special branch of life-work, three or four years spent in college have a broadening influence on his mind. Here are gathered men from all parts of the world and from all ranks and ]iositions in life. What an education it must lie to a young man away from home for perhaps the first time, to come in contact with thinking men and get some of the rough edges smoothed off. Then, too, it teaches him to control him- self, to be careful of the rights of others, and, more than all, it develops in him a sense of responsibility and judgment that will stand him in good stead when he enters the battle of life. You, gentle reader, have often heard it said, and perhaps have had occasion yourself to say, that students are a wild, bad lot : but things are not always what they seem. It is only natural that young men free from restraint should lack the steadiness that comes with home influences, and the only wonder is that they are so uniformly well behaved. But when you really get acquainted with him the student is not such a bad fellow after all. nu will find that with all his faults he has a large heart. Let him meet some one in distress and his services and pocket are alike oft ' ered. From a religious standpoint the influences are not what they should be. To be sure there are churches and Christian Associations, but these do not appeal to the great mass of students. Some, who come from Christian homes, naturally attend these various institutions, but it is the non-Christian students who should be reached. Taking him all in all, the student is a good-hearted, whole-souled fellow, who. though he may seem to be rough and reckless, yet has the character for a good, loyal American citizen, and as we come to know him better we appreciate him more.

Company BALTIMORE BRANCH 212 CHARLES ST., North Baltimore, md. C. M. FREEMAN , MANAGER The World of Work THE placing in your hands of the diplomas whereby your Alma Mater certifies to the world at large your fitness to enter upon the practice of your chosen profession marks the parting of the ways for yon. Behind you is the narrow path by which you arrived at your present state. Before you is — what? The World of Work opens wide its portals and invites you to enter. The field of action is before you. Action means work; a continuous, never-ending struggle. Your way may be beset with difficulties, but so surely as you front them bravely, so surely will they melt away before you. Oftentimes the hindrances that lie in the path of duty may be compared to the toll-gates upon our turnpike roads — they are kept shut till we are just upon them, and then fiy open, as it were, of themselves. That you are to engage in the practice of a beneficent profession is so much the greater reason that you be faithful in your work to the end that the beneficence shall be wider, more lasting. Genuine work alone, what thou workest faithfully, that is eternal. says Carlyle; and again, The only happiness a brave man ever troubled himself with asking much about was, happiness enough to get his work done. Remember that there is work and success for the men of every kind and degree of gift; not alone room at the top, as there always was, but all the way up; not only for the best things of the best men, but for every man ' s best. You have received frofu your Alma Mater the best gifts she has to bestow. These with your own faculties, natural and acquired, are your equipment for your work. That equipment, as the years go on, will be enlarged and broad- ened, or dwarfed and shriveled: your course will decide which. Education, bear in mind, should be never-ending. If you labor earnestly toward a high and yet higher ideal, your view will widen, your grasp upon the afifairs of life will enlarge. If you are content with your present attain- ments, you will in time, and not a very long time either, drop insensibly into dilettanleism, into commonplace. The World of Work welcomes every man who knocks at its gates with the fixed purpose to do his duty manfully. No higher honor can any man achieve than citizenship in that world. For there is a perennial nobleness, and even sacredness, in work. Were he never so benighted, forgetful of his high calling, there is always hope in a man that actually and earnestly works: in idleness alone is there perpetual despair. THE S. S.
