T is to be regretted that full and accurate accounts in regard to the early dentists is inaccessible to the rising generation of practitioners. The following brief sketches of Drs. Hayden and Harris tell what they, under adverse conditions, accomplished as pioneers in practice and promoters of dental literature, associated efforts and educational institutions. To these two men full credit and honor is due, for they raised the standard of dentistry from a trade, handicraft or art up to a recognized science and most honorable profession. The National Dental Association has for some years been trying to create an interest in this subject of Dental History. It is to be hoped that all the members of the profession will cooperate with them in their endeavor to collect accurate information. Cbapin H. Bams was born in 1806, in Pompey, New York. He commenced his medical studies early in life and began practice in Ohio. His attention was called to dentistry by his brother. John Harris. Until after 1827, however, he gave but little attention to dental practice except to extract and clean teeth and insert a few fillings; when, after studying Hunter, Fox and Delabarre, he entered upon the exclusive practice of dental surgery. From 1827 to 1833 he traveled South and West, elevating the profession of dentistry and establishing his repu- tation. In 1833 ne opened an office in Baltimore and wrote largely on dental subjects. In 1839 he published his first edition of his Principles and Practice of Dental Surgery. With the end in view of preserving the experience of the profession, he visited New York and with some of the leading dentists of that city established a periodical devoted especially to the interests of the profession. Drs. Harris and Eleazer Parmly were joint editors of this periodical and, in accordance with the arrangement, the first volume was issued from New York, June, 1839, under the title of The American Journal of Dental Science. During the first year of its publication it was issued with some irregularity at the price of $3 per annum. It was printed in Baltimore. His next task was the creating of faculties for educating men for the duties of the dental profession; accordingly, in the winter of 1839-40, he obtained signatures to a petition to be laid before the Legislature of Maryland for the incorporation of a College of Dental Surgery at Baltimore. After much opposition the charter was granted and Dr. Harris continued through life to exercise the duties of one of its most important professorships. In 1840 Dr. H. H. Hayden went to New York and Boston with the design of forming a Dental Society. Dr. Harris, among others, immediately responded to the call and the speedy result was the organization of the American Society of Dental Surgeons. In 1840 he published a Monograph of the Physical Characteristics of the Teeth; in 1841 a Disserta- tion on the Diseases of the Maxillary Sinus. He also revised his Principles and Practice ' ' through several editions, and completed his Dictionary of Dental Science, Biography, Bibliography and Medical Terminology. He also translated from the French the works of Delabarre. Through his labors for the profession and his unbounded generosity, although his practice was large, he died poor in the city of Baltimore on the 29th of September, i860. Horace f). RaycUn was born at Windsor, Connecticut, October 13, 1768. He was remarkable from his childhood, and it is said that he learned to read almost as soon as he did to talk, and at once contracted that love for books which was so marked all through his life. While a boy he also manifested a great fondness for natural history which clung to him in after life. At ten years of age he began the study of classics, but, probably for want of means, soon abandoned it and at the age of fourteen, in the humble capacity of cabin boy of a fine brig, he made two voyages to the West Indies. At the age of sixteen he became apprenticed to an architect until he became of age. He then pursued his business in the West Indies, Connecticut and Xew York. While in the latter State he had occasion to call on Dr. John Greenwood (dentist) for his services, when the thought struck him that he would like to follow that profession. Obtaining such information as he could from Dr. Greenwood ' s instructions and from his books, he went in 1804 to Baltimore, Md., to practice the profession and labored to elevate the calling. To this end he commenced the study of medicine and in later life the honorary degree of Doctor of Medicine was conferred upon him both by the University of Maryland and the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia. In 1814 he was appointed acting surgeon in the Thirty-ninth Regiment of Maryland Militia. About the year 1825 he was invited to read a course of lectures on dentistry before the medical class of the University of Maryland. He also contributed several able papers to medical journals on his physiological researches. Having; ever in mind the elevation of the dental profession, he. Dr. Chapin A. Harris and others sent a petition to the Legislature, in December, 1839, to establish a Dental College, the faculty to consist partly of dental and partly of medical practitioners. The Legislature having granted a liberal charter, Dr. Hayden, at the advanced age of seventy, entered upon the duties of the chair assigned him in that institution. The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. In 1840, in New York, was held a meeting of the best dentists then in the profession, the outcome of which was the formation of the American Society of Dental Surgeons. This outcome was chiefly due to the labors of Dr. Hayden, and he was unanimously chosen president of the society and re-elected each year until his death. Until the illness which terminated his life Dr. Hayden continued to exercise the duties of his profession and to lecture to his class. He died on the 26th of January, 1844, m the seventy-fifth year of his age. CHARLES McMANUS, D.D.S., Hartford, Conn. OR! : : ' Vindicatory. den ta l su ERy _ AYE you ever seen a slate-quarry? If not, you have missed the sight of one of the most wonderful treasures of antiquity. rSvcMil Strange as this statement may appear, you will be convinced of its correctness when you are told that recent discoveries prove beyond a doubt that these slate deposits are no more and no less than remnants of the old schools and colleges founded many thousand years ago. Paper being unknown in those days, the boys and girls cut soft stones into slices and used them for their writing and ciphering. In order that a record might be kept of the progress made by the pupils, these plates were piled up, and we now find stacks of them here and there, which are used over again by the youngsters of our day. Of the overwhelming proofs that these slates have thus actually been used for educational purposes, at least two should be mentioned. In the first place, petrified remnants of lunch, or of wrapping material for lunch, are found imbedded in this slate. The lunch containers seem to have been made from the leaves of ferns or palm trees, while fish appears to have been one of the delicacies relished universally at the midday recess, though snakes and reptiles of various kinds appear among the articles accidentally left behind by the school children and found stored away between the slates. The second proof is that the writing on these slates in many cases is yet well preserved. To the casual observer the signs and figures found resemble such impressions as would be made by the scratching of a hen, but since Mark Twain succeeded in deciphering what is most likely the oldest of these writings, scientists have made considerable progress in the reading of these old documents. The writer has been fortunate enough to unearth some slates covered with the hieroglyphics of one who seems to have been a grown up school boy living in the first century of the creation of the world. It may be of interest to the college boy (and college girl) of our era to hear how things progressed in those olden times. What this young man writes on one slate is this: O I wish the good Lord had not created so many animals and so many plants, mountains and rivers; and I wish old Grandpa Adam had not given names to all of them which we poor children now have to learn at school. It is awful to sit here for hours and hours and study what teacher calls natural history, and geography, and arithmetic, and spelling, and lots of other stuff. None of the boys like it, nor do the girls either. Other slates are filled with similar complaints and expressions of disgust, but one stone has been found on which the following remarkable and highly interesting data are inscribed: Yesterday teacher got real mad because not one of us knew his lesson, and when dinner time came he went off, locking us all up in the school-room, saying that he would not let us out until we knew it all, not if it were to take all day and all night. Well — there was great lamentation; the girls cried and the boys, too, though they tried to hide it, but this did not do any good. So we attempted to learn our lessons, but with empty stomachs and tearful eyes it was no go, and I think teacher would have had to keep us in all night had not something happened that had never occurred before. I don ' t know where they came from, but all at once there stood in the room three beings. I think they were women, though I am not sure about it. They were dressed very differently from what we are, and the girls said it was fancy, whatever that may be. Anyhow the three looked very strange and said they were three fairy angels, one called Wit, the other Humor, and the third Fun; and they had come to help us learn our lessons. Now — I never had seen an angel before and only had heard grandpa speak of the angel who drove him and Grandma Eve from Paradise. So I would have been afraid, but I could not because the three fairies (or angels, I don ' t know which,) at once commenced to tell stories such as we had never heard before and draw such pictures on the big slate as we never had seen. And then they showed us how to dance and jump and do somersaults, and all kinds of nonsense. But the best thing was wdien they took an old broomstick, wrapped some rags around it, which they shaped into legs and arms and put on top an apple (grandma had given it to me; she knows something about apples) which they had cut and fixed up so that it just looked like our old teacher. And when they then made that thing walk just like teacher does, and when one imitated his voice so that you thought you heard him scold and thunder, then suddenly I got such a peculiar feeling in my face as I never had experienced to that day. Before I knew it my whole body commenced to shake and I had to cry out something like: Ha, ha, ha! and in a minute the whole class did the same, only the girls said: He, he, he! and from some of the boys it sounded like: Ho, ho, ho! And the fairies they did the same and called out: ' Now we have taught you to laugh; never forget it and never forget your good friends: Wit, Humor and Fun. ' While we were yet laughing the fairies disappeared, but we were in such a happy frame of mind that we went to work with a will, and when teacher came he was surprised at the result of our labors. We never told him who had helped us. This wonderful inscription on the slate unmistakably proves that Humor, Wit and Fun were born when the first school had been established. And from that day to this they have been fostered and cultivated in all institutions of learning, though chiefly when ' ' teacher is absent. 16 Indeed, not all teachers realize the aid given them in their labors by the three fairies. But the students know it; they fully appreciate that the digestion of intellectual food is immensely aided when seasoned with wit and humor, with fun and mirth. This is the reason why this volume has been written, and this is its injunction: ' Understand, enjoy and laugh with But take me not too seriously.

T has been said that ' History is past Politics and Politics present History. Such being the case, the uninitiated may think us without a history; but such is not the case, since the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Two has struggled through several campaigns of a political nature, and has witnessed contests as exciting and absorbing as any outside our grand old institution. Laying aside this political feature of our past, we still have a record which will ever be recalled with mingled pleasure, pride and amazement. Did we say pleasure? Yes; for what a pleasure it will be in after years, when shadows of intervening events have interposed themselves to render dim the memory of our careers as students at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, to recall the familiar scenes and friendly faces almost forgotten but for their association; to live again, in memory, a life wherein a delayed check, a leaky dam or a porous plate was its greatest worry, and the making of specimens and the passing of examinations its greatest anxiety. And with pride may we recall the way in which we have worked shoulder to shoulder, in perfect harmony and good fellowship, and have striven with friendly rivalry to attain the prizes lying at our common goal. With amazement, mingled with amusement, may we recall our entrance into the institution, to which we now point with pride as our Alma Mater. Was ever a Freshman Class possessed of more effrontery and self-confidence ushered into the extracting room? Recall, if you will, the familiar scene of a Freshman preparing to extract his first tooth. Seated in the chair his trembling yet unsuspecting victim, standing to the left of the chair a supercilious Senior, with his hands thrust into his coat pockets and his lips wreathed with smiles; near by the embryonic dentist, who is about to prove to the world that he is past-master of all the arts and sciences connected with his future profession. Surrounding this grotesque assemblage, you will observe seven grinning, gaping Freshmen who will be full-fledged surgeons when once each has had his turn at the forceps. And now for the ordeal whose outcome is another dentist, and, if appearances count for aught, probably a corpse also. He advances with the glittering steel in hand, and, with a look of fiery determination, thrusts, grapples, twists, shakes, pushes, pulls, and when he is almost exhausted — the patient quite so — (the seven comrades-in-arms in a state of nervous collapse and ready to abandon this branch of service forever) he flourishes on high the trophy of his victory. In this engagement he has won his spurs, and now regards himself as worthy of the title, Knight of the Forceps. Then follow him, if you will, as he proceeds to take his first peep into the infirmary, the impression room, plaster room, the museum, the various laboratories and clinic rooms, and imagine his mental state when he sees what is being done around him, and realizes for the first time that he also must work his way through this vast mystic maze. Then his first impressions of the dissecting room obtrude themselves upon his memory. With what appreciation he now recalls a quotation familiar to students and analogous to: Faint heart ne ' er won fair lady. Imagine his troubled spirit at the end of a few weeks when he has heard a number of lectures advancing Old and New Theories of Caries, Chemical and Bacteriological theories, Exploded and Explosive theories, Out-of-date and Up-to-date theories, and, to him, innumerable combinations of theories; has listened to learned discourses on Characteristics of Herbivorous Teeth, reptilian teeth, teeth of birds, fishes, and, in fact, of every zoological specimen which has teeth, or whose supposed ancestors possessed anything that through continuous processes of evolution might develop those organs with such varied functions and forms; has been shown skulls, heads, jaws and similar objects, until his own diminutive head seems ready to burst; has seen demonstrated wireless telegraphy, and has been made acquainted with the wonders accomplished by liquid air and tepid water; ' ' has been shown how he, himself, is put together, and told of the specific functions of various cells which should be in his head; has been instructed in idiosyncrasy, predisposition, immunity and temperament, the dose and physiological actions of a hundred drugs! No wonder, then, that when he draws the drapery of his couch about him, expecting to spend his midnight hours in the arms of Morpheus, he sees before him a whirling panorama, presenting beakers, test-tubes, retorts, artificial teeth, teeth carved from soap, plaster models of malformed mouths, forceps, dental engines, electric batteries, gaping apes ' , fishes ' and alligators ' heads, headless trunks, trunkless heads and screaming- patients, and when he finally falls asleep lives again in his dreams the scenes of the extracting room. By some strange metamorphosis, however, he is himself the patient, the forceps are red hot, the operator merciless, the tooth a foot long and with ten roots, which bring away with them half his head. He awakes from this grewsome vision only to fall asleep again and find himself in the examination room, trying to decide which theory of caries will be acceptable, which table of calcification and eruption is the most accurate, whether to administer morphia or apomorphia to insure a quiescent state with his patient, and to show by equation how C0 2 is evolved by acting upon Zn with C 2 H 5 OH. At last his fitful slumbers may glide, perchance, into a more restful sleep, from which, however, he is rudely awakened by the sound of the break- fast bell. The careworn face and troubled expression excite, however, but little sympathy in his associates, who ascribe his haggard appearance not to the true cause, but to the ravages of the God of Love. Happily such experiences do not last always, but give place to prospects of a brighter nature when he finds that there are other Freshmen, and that not everyone who has a self-satisfied air and who swaggers about with an all- important bearing, is a Senior, and, consequently, the supposed enemy to every Freshman. Nor does the Freshman year last always, but with the pleasant days of spring come his emancipation and promotion. As a Junior he feels that there are no more worlds to conquer, and that he can sit with an all-knowing smile and muse upon the newcomers drinking in knowledge in indigestible quantities, and gazing open- mouthed at the very scenes and things which one brief year before came so near unbalancing his own feeble mind. Proudly he shows the neophytes the simplicity of investing a partial or making a shell crown, and by his bearing almost convinces the Faculty that they are making a grave mistake in not presenting him with a diploma at once. He seeks to impress each Senior with the fact that the latter must have been in Sleepy Hollow for a year or more, so far is the Senior behind this Sophomorical young Junior. But age brings experience, and with this experience there comes to this once-inflated Junior a humili- ating sense of his own ignorance; so, after passing through the remainder of his Junior course and, probably, trying his wings for a few months between courses, he returns to enter upon the duties of a Senior classman, a sadder and a wiser man. He now realizes the necessity for closer application and more earnest endeavor, in order to prepare himself in the brief time yet remaining for the duties he hopes so soon to assume. No cause for wonder then is the troubled expression and remorseful look upon the face of the average thoughtful Senior; no wonder that even a stranger may discern with wonderful accuracy to which class each student belongs; no wonder that each Senior feels that the lengthening of the Dental Course to four terms is probably a wise step (at the same time inwardly congratulating himself that he is exempt from the fourth course, since three have almost turned him gray); no wonder then at the three distinct types of faces seen in and around our College domain. With these thoughts and realizations uppermost in his mind, the Senior finds himself jostled around among his colleagues of the years before — colleagues with whom he is just now becoming thoroughly ac- quainted, and to whom each day he is growing more strongly attached. In their congenial society serious thoughts soon give way to those of a lighter nature, and the old allurements to pleasure and merriment hurriedly present themselves. Remembrances of social pleasures and theatrical attractions of the years 26 before, thoughts of his local lady loves (of his far-away one or ones, he ceases for the time to think, fickle man ! ) mental pictures of familiar resorts and avenues where so oft he has strolled for exercise in the fresh air and glimpses of pretty girls — these form a weight in one side of the balance against the stern duties of life on the other. The Senior student is usually regarded as a gentleman of leisure. Indeed, his satisfied smile and care-free manner, as he puffs his Havana in easy abandon in the latter part of his course, would seemingly justify this opinion, but only those who have passed through the trials of the Senior year and have been called upon to choose between the allurements of pleasure and the demands of duty, can fully understand and appreciate the mental struggle to which he is subjected. These perplexing questions must be solved early, and in their solution the student, in relying wholly upon himself, learns one of the most important lessons in life. What a pity, then, that our College days must close ere more of these life-lessons are learned amid sympathetic surroundings! With fond recollections of three pleasant, prosperous years among congenial and jolly classmates and kind, indulgent instructors, who have stood ever ready to befriend and assist us in all our uudertakings, we are about to embark upon an untried sea. With many a suppressed tear and some misgivings within our hearts, we are to say good-by to each other and turn from the door of our Alma Mater. Our feelings which are akin to those of Don Juan in his farewell to his native land, may find expression in his words: Farewell, my Spain! a long farewell! he cried, Perhaps I may revisit thee no more, But die, as m ny an exiled heart hath died Of its own thirst to see again thy shore. With such a sentiment we drop a tear as a period to the history of the dear old Class of Ninteen Hundred and Two. The Historian. George Guy Shoemaker, 3 f? J • • Maryland. Ex. Com., ' oi- ' o2.

TO those who will leave our College as full fledged dentists in the spring of 1902, and who, for three seemingly long sessions have faithfully attended to all duties in the curriculum, from soap carving to infirmary practice, learned the entire use of tepid water, attended all lectures on fishes ' , frogs ' and snakes ' teeth; learned the keystone of the arch. when to extract the six-year molar, and the properties of the anaesthetic that has the wonderful effect of transforming twenty or thirty dental students into angels; to those who can differentiate between the analyses of organic and inorganic compounds and are informed as to how in the devil chemists prove their statements; learned mechanism, from mixing plaster to making obturators; have not failed to pronounce process correctly; solved the problem of the comparative germicidal strength of CgH. 5 OH and a 1 in 1000 solution of HgCU; and above all things have not failed to remember that our classmates when absent at calling of the roll were either sick or vulcan- izing, the mirror of the past will often reflect the pleasures of our College days; and as we scatter over the whole country, thinking that probably we will never all meet together again, we are reminded of the possibility of many great changes that will take place in the next ten years. Considering this, we think of the probability of the future official capacity of our worthy President Biggs. Providing he learns to use the gavel more vigorously we may see him President of the National Dental Society. The next in rank, our Vice-President, whose bright eyes reveal to us the ease with which he cultivates social qualities. His ambition will force him to the front, and we have ample reason to believe that before many years we shall see him a member of the supreme council of the Psi Omega Fraternity. Our Secretary, who has not been overburdened with keeping records or the transaction of other class business, has found time in abundance to plan for the future, and his dreams of how he can reform the North Carolina dental laws and add to the State University a dental department may some time be realized. Class Artist McCusky, with popularity and artistic taste beyond ordinary conception, will find himself harassed by inducements from our College Faculty to assist the present instructor in soap carving, and the only conditions under which the position will be accepted will be that perfumed soap be used. If there is ever an expression denoting thought on the face of Auditor House we know he is contem- plating the purchase of the controlling interests in Eureka Painless Extracting Fluid stock. Historian Alexander. Seest thou a man diligent in business: he shall stand before kings. Treasurer Robins, with his keen observations on photograph} ' , presents to us the appearance of a man who would like to pose as an ideal photographer; so in company with a man of his own opinion, R. H. Bath, we may expect perfection in cabinet photos. The Quartet: The Old Home ain ' t what it used to be, The songs they sing both old and new, Our quartet often sing, So oft our hearts have cheered, From plaster room to lecture hall And giving us new hopes and joys, We hear their voices ring. Their memories thus endeared. In coming weeks and months and years, How rapidly they ' ll go; I see these, our entertainers, With some big minstrel show. The lofty ambitions of Weichselbaum have given us great reason to believe that his intentions are to introduce new specialties in dental supplies, especially sterilizers and rapid cutting burrs. Waxie ' ' will only need a man like Williamson to make a rousing success in introducing his specialties. Lautenbach, with his excellent dog-calling voice, which he exercises playing with his pups, will find more pleasure in raising dogs than can be found in practicing dentistry. Lynch, Crosby and our obliging fellow, Moore, whose cheeks, like a squirrel ' s, are always plump (due to the presence of something good in his mouth), shall, though not in prospect now, own one of the largest tobacco plantations in the country. The weed will be raised principally for their own consumption. Elphinstone, with his prescription for hypersensitive dentine, will reveal to the people of his native country that painless dentistry is no longer an impossibility. Of our friends from Germany shall it not be said, In the practice of dentistry they will stand at the head. And to some court practice eventually be led? Johnston. Presence of mind is greatly promoted by absence of body. Drakeford has started his career in irregularities and will, no doubt, write a book far superior to any ever written on that subject. The value of prophylaxis has been so forcibly advocated by our Professor in Operative Dentistry that a number of the members of our class have decided to follow the example set by the pioneers of this treatment. Hickman, McMurdo, Jamaica Brown and Bagwell will win a reputation not before established in this enlightening practice. In these short, cheerful dreams of the future, Wise woman ' s knowledge of sheets to fold, I see inclined in our woman dentist, Expert use in the soft kind of gold. Boone will not return to his native State because his professional ambitions (and possibly affections) have bound him elsewhere. Ambitious Corbett will endeavor to introduce new and very rigid parliamentary rules for dental frater- nities and societies. De Routon ' s ambition to be dentist to the Crown Prince of India will be realized, and with Thomas as his assistant the high standard of American dentistry will be further advanced. Adams, the man to whom difficulties present no obstacle, will widen the field of scientific research and will write a book superior to and more interesting than Tome ' s Dental Anatomy. Boivin ' s recent extensive investigations in Chemistry and Materia Medica indicate his tendencies. Though Geo. A. Carr never looks pleasant in the lecture hall, the smiles his lady patients receive are suffi- cient evidence for us to conclude that practice to him is more interesting than theory, and that he already has discovered the secret of success in the practice of dentistry. The inseparable chums, Oates, Oxner and Kelly, after accumulating wealth in practice, will invest in a few of their specialties and spend the remainder of their lives with saddle horses. Lausten, known to us as a rusher, will continue to rush to the end. N. Y. Smith is getting into practice for the establishment of the largest crown laboratory in the country. H. A. T. Smith will not have the dentist ' s usual difficulties in making his patients believe that the six- year molar is not a temporary tooth. 42 In ten years to come we will find L. B. Tearney still looking; for an easy way to make and fill retaining points. McNay ' s quietness would tax even a medium to tell which he likes better, photography or dentistry. Shoemaker brothers have their heads together trying to excel Dr. Burgess in investment material. Will they succeed? Boyd, influential, industrious and charitable. How he will miss filling ' teeth and treating- chronic abscesses for his classmates! Burt, with his fashion-plate appearance, will add much to the dignity of his professional career. Robbins, better known as Bill, will be more careful who handles his gold plates in his practice than he has been in College. Bickford will have no difficulty in pitching the tone of his voice to make his patients readily under- stand him. Jamieson. Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much: wisdom is humble that he knows no more. Dixon. T , -iti the smiles or a happy man we see Whene ' er we chance near him to be. His face not drawn with worry You could not make him hurry, But whene ' er he ' s needed he ' ll be there His part of everything to share. Vermillion ' s taciturnity and ease shall continually abide with him. Hicks. The success of this man is warranted by his sobriety and economy. If Shaw gets as many patients in his practice as he has in College he will give the members of our class a big hustle. The condition of Sutphin ' s teeth tell the story of their care, and if we are to judge his practice thereby it will surely be worthy of high reputation. But Prof. B. Holly Smith can prophesy best for g-old crowns on bicuspid teeth. Porter ' s future is foretold in the fact that his preceptor could not get along without him during the holidays. Nefif ' s words to his patients during the first few years of his practice will be, Are there any more at home like you? While his chum, Mack, will find great pleasure in whistling for patients. Schuetz will not consider it necessary to practice dentistry after the stock in the American Locomotive Appliance Company has advanced one hundred per cent. Sewell will continue to fill his chum ' s teeth during the first years of his practice, while his Chum Whipple, will have to learn that modelling composition takes a sharper impression than plaster before success comes his way. Gibbons will be known as the only dentist recommending- tobacco for perfuming the breath before operating; and his patients will have to learn that tobacco possesses antiseptic properties before they can appreciate his views. Only a little experience will be necessary to teach Pearcy, that placer mining in the Klondike is easier than dentistry; and gold mining instead of gold plugging will be his occupation. The unmentioned members of the class, have gone in search of appointments in the Dental Corps of the United States Army. I cannot tell what you or other men Think of this life: but for my single self I had as lieve not be as live to be In awe of such a thing as I myself. To the mention of a few characteristics of members of our class, jocosely presented in this so-called prophecy, permit me to add the hope that we may all be remembered fraternally, and that we may ever be mindful that the code of ethics as presented to us is the standard for us to maintain. Prophet. Vale. Our school days are done, and the darkness Falls o ' er this page of our life, And we pass from our sheltered corner To the world where toil is rife. To our other college mates, adieu, May our mantle of luck fall on them, With the trials and sorrows of our lot Blotted out of their college ken. Where the lights of fame flicker brightly. Where a place for us is too, If we fight the good fight and conquer, And stand with the brave and the true. Friends that here have crossed our path— May the sweets of life be their devoir Is the wish we breathe, as in parting We bid them a fond au revoir. To our Alma Mater which fostered, We say farewell with a sigh, For who could walk oft in the same old halls And not linger in saying good-by? So comrades, clasp hands in silence, Mayhap ' tis a last farewell, In the drama of life we may not meet again. Our role soon may end — who can tell ? To our faithful teachers all — Farewell, We thank you for your love and care. We trust that each year ' s parting knell May bring you blessings sweet and rare. Let us live out our motto nobly, Let Vincit, qui se vincit hold Then the ladder of life will support us too, Life ' s treasure house yield us its gold. For the treasure of life is not lucre, But the thought of a race well run, The happiness coming from kindness, And the hope of a crown well won. X TRRARY ■ ■ Oi;E COLLEG!

Class poem. i From East and West we have gathered — This Class of Nineteen-three, As workers and thinkers together, That our minds from bonds may be free. And in debate we do not stand So far back in the rear. But that, when the occasion ca ' You will our voices hear. ' Tis not for beauty that we now stand Before the public gaze; But ' tis by work and brains and skill That we have earned a name. Of course we would not here forget That each and all may fall ; But where ' s the man that ' s earned hi: That did not have some gall. No record yet has ere been read That ' s not surpassed by ours; From extracting room, with all its To editorial bowers. And let us then, with courage strong. Crowd failures from our list; And have a name that is renowned For its straight forwardness. In the lecture hall ' tis not our To see Professor ' s book; But when it comes with all its We don our wisest look. As Juniors now, our page is fair, And may we live to see A glorious future for each one Of the Class of Nineteen-three. history of the Class of loos. T was during: the autumn of the year nineteen hundred that occurred one of the greatest movements that the world has ever known — one that the historian of the present day will not fail to record. The cause of this was not that religious enthusiasm, such as characterized those great expedi- tions of the Middle Ages, the Crusades, but it was that insatiate thirst for knowledge, that ennobling spirit of honor and adventure that we always find so prominent in all of our intellectual heroes. Of the future there can be no doubt; with such tremendous enthusiasm glorious results are inevitable, and although the most wonderful of the results of this great movement are yet to be realized and appreciated by the people of the civilized world, there has been during the short period of time that has elapsed a most marvelous ( ?) recognition of the merits of what will prove to be the crowning event of the nineteenth century. That this movement was not of mere commonplace importance is most readily seen from the fact that seventeen of our own United States have deemed it of sufficient note to send forth many of their sturdy sons to join the ranks of this notable array. And by no means is this confined to our own country, but England, with her many dependencies, and Denmark, and Portugal, and Brazil, have vied with each other in their efforts to espouse the cause, by sending, as their representatives, some of their most noble cons. To the people of our own country it would be unnecessary to recall these facts, for the}- are already indelibly impressed upon the minds of all true-hearted Americans ; but those countries that shall come to know us by the noble results accomplished, to the people of these we introduce the actors in this great drama, the Class of Nineteen Hun- dred and Three of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. O wad some power the giftie gie us, To see oursels as others see us! I know of no better way of beginning this effusion than by the old adage, After a storm comes a calm. Not that I wish to infer that our later life as Freshmen was a calm, but it was a calm as compared to our meet- ing with the upper classmen. If my memory fails me not, on this occasion no party lines were drawn, but 53 each combatant left his visiting card in the shape of plaster of Paris, water, black eyes, torn clothing and half severed ears. Thus early in our career were we brought into unusual, and I may also say uncomfortable, contact with the stern realities of College life. But we had made a good beginning, our reputation was estab- lished, and the impression made upon the upper classmen will be as lasting as the Rocks of Gibraltar. Thus passed the greater part of our Freshmen year, the monotony being broken by the hospitality of our President, who twice during the session gave us a social banquet, and the pleasure and benefit derived there- from can only be appreciated by those who were present to enjoy them. Soon, however, we were in contact with examinations; these we met with that same sturdy determination (?) and resolute endeavor (?) that has been so characteristic of our class since its organization. This landmark passed, the majority of our number turned their faces homeward, a few remaining in the city in order to cultivate their artistic taste and to increase their mechanical skill during the summer months. Our vacation passed quickly and pleasantly, and we gathered early in October to again greet our Alma Mater, not as we did one short year previous, with the trembling and faltering step of a Freshman, but as Juniors, and who can fathom that inexpressible joy that comes to those who by their own untiring efforts have won that enviable distinction. The first event of importance during our Junior year was our election of class officers, and this was closely followed by the annual melee with the Freshmen. Words cannot do justice to this occasion, ft was truly une conflict terrible, and while the Historian does not intend to enter into the details of the fight, it is decidedly modest to say that our class was unquestionably the master of the hour, while it is equally modest to relate that the Freshies were the whitest class ever seen during the history of the College (thanks to the gen- erous supply of plaster of Paris in the laboratory). To judge the affray by the aspect presented after the cessation of hostilities, one would surely say that somethin ' had been doin ' l Lectures were postponed for the day, and many a week will pass before the traces of the conflict will be obliterated. Emerging from this the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Three stood as a typical representation of courage, energy and honor. Notwithstanding the fact that we had thus acquitted ourselves, it was plain to be seen that not all of our laurels were to be won on the field of battle; other honors were in store for us, and hardly had the smoke of the fight cleared away when we were summoned before the bar of criticism to make known our ability in the literary world by publishing the College Annual. Thus we were the first class to assume this responsibility, and it is by no means an undertaking of trivial importance, which fact is best appreciated by those on whom the task has fallen. This was not, however, the end of our literary work ; undaunted by the magnitude of the duties thus thrust upon us, we sought other fields of work, and are proud of the distinction of having organized the first Debating Club in the history of our College. This organization promises to be one of untold benefit to the student, for not only do we thus accustom ourselves to the rules of debate and acquire a more fluent and pleasing manner of address, but we have the opportunity of discussing the leading dental topics of the day, and thus familiarizing ourselves with the modern ideas of dentistry. At the College of Physicians and Surgeons we have demonstrated the fact that we are abundantly ( ?) able to perform all kinds of surgical operations, from the severing of the branches of the axillary artery to the amputation of the extensor ossis metacarpi pollicis muscles, also numerous other operations, the praises of which have never been sung. In the chemical laboratory we have shown skill that was almost beyond human comprehension. We have manufactured insoluble salts that were soluble, and soluble salts that were insoluble. We have produced pre- cipitates, the color of which would put to shame even the most learned of chemists. Now we find ourselves nearing the end of our second year in College. Of the record that we have made on the page of history we are proud; no blot is seen; we have remembered that qui non proficit, deficit, and have made progress worthy of note. Our future is what we make it ; I can but predict one of glorious achievements for the Class of Nine- teen Hundred and Three, and when we shall thrust aside these sombre robes of College days, and with resolute endeavor enter the arena of life ' s work, then shall we discard this mantle of modesty that we have worn so long and shall take our places upon the uncrowned heights of fame and honor which the ages have reserved for us.

WrtEN we speak of history is is always of things which have passed, but not necessarily forgotten. To have a history a country or an organization must have some age. The older a country the larger its annals ; so with an advanced class, the larger its data of events. The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Four is now only in its infancy, and during this short period has grown with great rapidity, thereby making a record for itself second to none. No doubt it will be of interest to mention some of the most important events which have happened during this year. We have gathered here in this grand old school from the East and West, from the North and South, and many have left their homes in foreign lands to be brothers in this work ; and all are now striving for the same great end. The first of October found us at the College ready for the work before us. Now after we had become fairly well acquainted with each other, and were finally settled in our work, and after the upper classmen, as per custom, had elected their respective officers, the time came for the class to unite in a body and elect a staff of officers which would bring about a closer union of the members of the class. On the 16th of October, during Dr. Simon ' s lecture, a note was dispatched stating that there would be a meeting of the Freshies ; ' another followed from the Senior Class that there would be a meeting of both Senior and Junior Classes at the same hour. This was the signal for trouble. After the lecture the Freshmen were invited to adjourn from the hall immediately, if not sooner, but not a move did the Freshies make. But in answer to their ultimatum the Freshies invited the Seniors and Juniors to close the door from the outside. This was considered an insult by the upper classmen. Then the call to arms was sounded by both sides and the rush which followed can only be appreciated by those who were there to see the long and hard-fought battle. It was only a few seconds after when the fight was on in full blast. Missiles of all descriptions were used instead of bullets ; plaster of Paris with a good supply of H2O were the chief weapons. When the fight was at its height two of the Freshies made a desperate charge with NH4OH and capsicum. This caused a temporary cessation of active hostilities on both sides. But then, to make a long story short, the Freshies, after fighting for about two long hours, gained possession of the well-wrecked lecture hall, which was strewn with many articles of wearing apparel, as well as debris of all kinds. This fight was one of the hardest 62 and sharpest ever waged in this school, and won for the class a reputation as fighters. The evening and morn- ing papers were aglow with the account of the Embryo Dentists Fight Over an Election. After the smoke of battle had cleared away it was found by every participant, upon a speedy examination, that the services of both tailor and druggist would be needed. Our candidate for the presidency was one of the main factors in this fight, as they endeavored to steal him away, as well as a few of the most prominent participants, but the class was on the alert, and when called to order by the temporary chairman all were present. After quite an exciting election the following officers were chosen by quite a large majority: Mr. C. S. McCollum, President; Mr. J. C. Allen. Vice-President : Mr. B. E. N ' eily, Secretary; Mr. E. S. Dunning, Treasurer; Mr. H. W. Dellinger, Historian; Mr. H. L. Garrett, Artist ; Mr. J. A. Denike, Sergeant-at-Arms. Around this centre the class has revolved in perfect har- mony. The term is now about to close, and the classes have become reconciled, and in no period in the history of any college have the Freshmen made such friends as we have in those of our upper classmen. The verdancy which clustered about the class has now given way to a riper hue, and when the sun shineth on the final day of the session Nineteen Hundred and Four, the class will appear to all as did the guiding ' star for the wise men of old, and the Faculty of this school will marvel at its brilliancy.

When Jamieson first came to Baltimore he went to Ford ' s with some of the boys to see a play. They went early, and after staying about a half hour Jamie said he had seen all he wanted.

If Decker is a poet. We would like to know it. Where is Cumming ' s boarding house? New York Smith is considered one of the most diligent operators in College, and while operating, only has eyes for the filling alone, which is easily proven by the fact that he did not notice that his patient had fainted until informed by the demonstrator.

Or will be some day later, For he can shoot like an Indian With arrows made of paper. Hickman had a party of friends from Texas visit him the other day, and as he wanted to show them a good time he took t hem to the Rennert for dinner. Later, Mr. Hickman, thinking that his friends would like something to drink, and being a temperance man himself, ordered root beer. The waiter placed the order, and while it was being filled brought in finger bowls. Mr. Hickman became highly indignant, and report that waiter; I did not order said, I will lemonade.

It started this way: He was walking past a certain hotel in this city, when, as he thought, he saw a young lady waving her handkerchief at him. Now, Allen, being a dead game sport, ' ' of course waved back, and as she continued to wave in return, he crossed the street to address her. On nearer approach he saw it was only the cook at the hotel wringing her dishcloth. An ex- planation followed, and as she happened to be quite young and exceedingly fair, naturally a love affair was the outcome of the complication. The cards will be out soon. P. A.

He escorted the young to the extracting room, where he proceeded with his work, but in his haste he extracted the wrong tooth. The mistake was immediately noticed by his patient, who was quite indignant. O ' Neill was greatly surprised at first, but after recovering, calmly exclaimed, If you will come here to-morrow, I will extract the right one. MORRIS AND HIS EVENING SU Early one February morning, in a secluded portion of a cozy parlor, with no one present but him and her, H. A. T. Smith was caught explaining to the land- lady ' s daughter the construction of a Richmond Crown. Professor — Mr. Stoner, what is the average weight of a man ' s brain ?

Thompson : Emory took his lady friend It was during Christmas vacation. Nat mysteri- to a very swell dance a short time ago, and while there, ously disappeared, and all search for him was fruit- 76 less. Not even the daily cries of Oh. my Soule ! Oh, my Soule ! uttered beneath his window by his Baltimore admirers could reveal his whereabouts. Re- ports of kidnaping, foul play, and even suicide, were prevalent. The police were mystified ; the only trace was the report of the ticket agent at the B. O. station, who remembered seeing a dark complexioned young man, carrying a carpet satchel, from which pro- truded a huge bunch of roses, loitering in the wait- ing room. Several days later there appeared in the Washington Post the following notice: The problem regarding the mysterious disappearance of the young man from Baltimore has been solved. He has been located on one of the principal streets of this city, and is very seriously ill with Cupiditis, but with the tender care and undivided attention that he is receiv- ing his early recovery is expected. It is rumored that efforts are being made by a cer- tain Baltimore belle to have J. M. Adams cast out of society. The alleged cause for such action is that the above gentleman, on returning home at the close of his Junior year, failed to write to his fiancee (date set) during his absence, and ignored all communica- tions from her. The main drawback to the previous accomplishment of her purpose was her inability to locate him. There must have been some misunder- standing ; possibly the young lady misinterpreted the language of those liquid eyes our Morris is so. prone to use. Our Freshman friend Morris is still looking for the umbrella that he gave to the umbrella-man to mend. Norris is even getting suspicious that that feller never really intended to return it.

Hast thou so soon forgotten the pearly words of wisdom that dropped from the lips of our most worthy Dean, as the raindrops from heaven, as he didst counsel thee to refrain from thine evil doings and to ever remember that thou couldst call on him in the time of thy financial troubles and receive the ever- extended hand of fellowship and good will? Hast thou likewise forgotten that forthcoming re- ward (champagne supper) that he promiseth to those who, by their diligent research, findeth that straight and narrow route (root) that leadeth to a crown of wisdom (tooth) ? If thou rememberest this, why comest thou, O Paul Adolphus Dixon, from the hock-shop of Daniel the Money-lender ? And thou, Robert Henry Bath, why winketh thou thine eye as thou standeth on the College steps watch- ing the fairy forms glide past? What excuse didst thou have, Oliver Jelks Whipple, for adorning thy face with that fluffy down? Hast thou, too, forgotten? We fear that thou hast fallen, O Emory Charles Thompson. Whence cometh that perceptible odor of peanuts from thy breath, as thou strolleth home in the early hours of morn ? Thomas John Corbett, canst thou explain why thou didst stand upon the corner, embracing the lamp-post and murmuring in thy dulcet tones, Once more let me caress thy lips? And thou, unworthy son, Charles Dale Williamson, why comest thou from parts unknown plucking the petals from the daisy, whispering in uncertain accents, She loveth me, she loveth me not? What canst thou say, Francis J. Boyce? Why tor- turest thou thy fellow-man with thy discordant tones ? Canst thou reply ? And, Jesse Lazear McNay, wherefore turnest thou that tooth upside down? Art thou, too, guilty? Oh. thou tousle-headed freak, George Augustus Carr, from what Zoo didst thou escape? Hast thou not the price of a hair-cut ? Reason ye, Robert Bruce Jamieson, why walkest thou with that lordly air? Canst thou not see that thou art not so much? And finally, David Morrison Biggs, wake from that stupor into which thou hast fallen — hast thou not the energy and courage to say that thy soul is thine own? It is therefore expedient that the dignified Seniors be thus admonished; but time waneth, the wick burn- etii low, hence, ye remaining ones, profit ye by the example set by your fallen comrades.

H Day ' s Hdwnture. . |N CHRISTMAS AFTERNOON my friend and I started for a short walk in the park, where w; J happened to meet a number of fellow-students, concerning whom you would possibly enjoy reading a few lines. The first we met were two young men from Jamaica, Dunn and Brown, who are jolly good fellows, about whom a strange story is told. They belong to that class who rejoice with those that rejoice and weep with those that weep. One evening a few weeks ago they were sur- prised by two of our boys who were out for congratulations, having just received their card that day. Jolli- fication was in order, in the midst of which Brown and Dunn proceeded to exchange pajamas. Now Dunn being a six-footer and Brown a five-footer, the sight can better be imagined than described as they were peace- fully tucked in bed by their departing friends. The next acquaintance that came into view was our friend Monroe, of Nova Scotia, wdio has left his friends in the North to become assistant stage manager at the Nicolodian Theatre, known as the Monumental, and incidentally to study dentistry. We are reminded of the heavenly twins when a few paces behind comes Beckwith, who registers, from the same town. A few evenings after this young man ' s arrival in Baltimore, overcome by fatigue and excite- ment, he created a great disturbance in his boarding-house by insisting that the floor was a more proper place on which to repose than the bed. Upon nearing an open space we came upon Bickford, a regular sport from Maine. He was gayly attired in a light-colored suit, red socks, red necktie and white hat with a rainbow band. In his hands was a camera, with which he was snapping a picture of nearly every pretty girl that passed. Seeming as if extre ' mes had met, now saunters along Hicks, of North Carolina, a man who is both indus- trious and inquisitive. While recently attending a clinic by Dr. Burgess, who was demonstrating the construc- tion of a gold bridge — meanwhile waxing eloquent on the wonders of his infant son — Hicks, who was oblivious to all but bridge work, suddenly interrogated the Doctor by exclaiming, Do you ever construct them with porcelain crowns? S4 We had not gone far when we met a young fellow with curly hair, whose name is (Dates. Xow, we had met in Gordon ' s one night, and after his partaking of a club sandwich he started for the open air, thinking that he was ascending a winding stair. Before long he met himself face to face ; great was the crash thereof, and the end is not yet. By his side walks a man with a head so large that he wears the box that the hat came in. Who could it be but Arcand? We strolled along till we came to a pond, upon which was a large crowd, who seemed to be having a delightful time. Among them was my friend Oxner, who is very fond of the fair sex. One moonlight evening he went out to skate with a most charming companion. After depositing their boots in the waiting- room and donning others, to which skates were immovably attached, the} ' were soon gliding over the pond. The evening was beautiful, the ice like a sheet of glass : in fact, it was so like dreamland that upon returning the waiting-room was closed and the people gone. Repeated calls failed to bring response, so they were forced to return to the city, skates and all ; but even this disadvantage failed to mar a most enjoyable evening. At the end of the park, under a large, spreading tree, is a rustic seat, on which, one delightful Sunday afternoon, sat the following angel quartet: House, Landau, Robbins ( V. A.) and Corbett. We have not seen them in their old place since that day, but of this we are fully assured — that if they ' re not living they ' re not in heaven. The evening approaches, and with it we turn homeward, dropping in on our way to see poor old Granny Hayes, who, in spite of McCuskey ' s ill-usage, was in very good health. Not thinking the day complete, we then decided to spend the evening at Ford ' s, and accordingly set out. As we were passing the Rathskeller we saw a tall young man dressed in the latest fashion. He was attended by a negro, who carried for him his essentials, such as cane, eye-glass, handkerchief, opera glass and cigarettes. Now, this was our friend Mr. Block, who is out here in this rough country all alone, his home being in Denmark. We reached Lexington street just in time to see a young man come sailing along in full dress, with colored shirt, purple tie, lay-down collar and tan shoes. It being a warm day, he did not wear an overcoat, and seemed to be hugely enjoying an Xmas cigar. When he reached us we found it to be one of our young men of the Class of Nineteen Four, from North Carolina, whose name is Norris. We arrived at the theatre a little late, the first act being on and the place in darkness. Across the aisle was a very corpulent young man, who showed his appreciation of the play by loud shrieks of laughter, accom- panied by wild gesticulations. He was immediately pointed out by the audience as Hi Holler, of the Wa 85 Down East Company, who, having sprained his ankle the day before, was unable to play that day. Great was our surprise when upon more thorough scrutiny we recognized him : Mr. Hogan, of Connecticut, also of the Class of Nineteen Four. On the corner o ' f Fayette and Eutaw streets we saw what appeared to be a man leading a larg ' e monkey, somewhat resembling Ham, Jr., which was the only one rescued from the burning Zoo, but it was only Crosby, and Moore who is trying to raise a Van Dyke ; so we passed on. As we came to the B. C. D. S. building we saw an immense crowd of all kinds and conditions of men, women and children, who were enjoying an afternoon meeting of the Salvation Army, led by Biggs, who was assisted by Gall and Lausten. We gazed at them for a while with eyes filled with admiration, then boarded a car for home, after having enjoyed to a great extent our last Christmas in Baltimore. C. W. K., 02. Crutbs.

Evans, of North Carolina. This was at first rather slow, as each man waited for the other to he the aggressor. But after a few right-handed swings hy Evans the ball was started roll- ing and the Pennsylvania bov woke up and held Evans to a draw at four rounds. Second Bout — E. J. Arcand, of Massachusetts, vs. J. H. Jessup, of Pennsylvania. This was for four rounds, and was a go from the handshake, plainly demonstrating that they had left all love for each other at home. Arcand fouled in the second and Referee Thompson gave the verdict to Jes- sup. Some hissing was heard in the background, but the referee was firm. We were next favored by our instructors of fencing, G. S. Belaval, of Porto Rico, vs. J. W. Fletcher, of Pennsylvania. This was excellent, as both men were experienced hands, and the tips often touched the crimson. At one time it was thought Professor Pletcher contemplated fighting a supposed Achilles, as he was practicing on Belaval ' s tendon. After affording us fifteen minutes of good amusement they retired with the applause of all present. Third Bout — C. E. Foster, of Missouri, vs. E. J. Evans, of North Carolina. This contest was scheduled for five rounds at catch weights, and was looked forward to as a rare treat, as both are heavy-weights. In the first two rounds both fought cautiously. The third was all Evans ' , and Fos- ter was saved by the call of time. They mixed in the fourth. Foster sending home many body blows, includ- ing two solar plexus jabs, with good effect, and made his great weight tell by leaning on his opponent in the clinches. Evans came back so strong in the fifth that his good showing in this round was a surprise to all, including his adversary ; and after a few ineffectual jolts being passed the gong sounded. It was said they were saving themselves for the bell. Fourth Bout — Lanky Bob Vitou, of Boston, vs. Kid Crooks, of Pennsylvania. This was the star event of the day, as both men were old ringers, and the rounds were complete in cleverness and fast work. Crooks was a slight favorite and looked fine, though slight tracings of over-condition were noticeable under his eyes. Round I — Both were cautious at the start, but made leads whenever an opening looked possible. No dam- age was clone. Round 2 — Early in the round Crooks reached Vitou ' s body with a hook. Vitou got in a left straight to Crooks ' nose. Round 3 — Crooks found he could reach Vitou ' s body and proceeded to do so, blocking attempted counters cleverly. Round 4 — Vitou shifted and sent two straights to Crooks ' face. Vitou got in twice on Crooks ' head, and in attempting to repeat it fanned the air. This round was all Vitou ' s. Round 5 — In this last round Crooks landed right and left to body and head, causing Vitou to break ground ; this caused the latter to look worried. But at the close both had recuperated and looked none the worse for having gone five fast rounds. Before dismissal it was suggested that all members furnish their own arnica and bandages, as some one had noticed that Professor Hoffmeister ' s supply in the laboratory was running short. . Mr. Averill was instructed to bring a basket for the collection of eyeballs, false teeth, etc. There was some talk of the arrangement of a bout to take place soon between Professors Foster and Fin- ney, as the former wishes to flirt the mits with some of the boys. If this could be arranged it certainly would be interesting, although the current opinion is that the odds are five to one in favor of the latter. After an acknowledgment of no bad feelings towards each other, the boys retired for dinner, having enjoyed greatly the amusement.

Now, ladies, what can I do for you? Miss Amour — Well, Doctor, some time ago — I mean a short time ago, I had my teeth pulled and I thought it might add somewhat to my charms if I had false ones. You see, I am real young and Miss Doosenberry — (interrupting.) Young! why you are ten years older than I and you lost your teeth six years ago. Miss Amour — Why, Martha Ann, aren ' t you a V Doctor — Come, come, ladies; my time is too valuable to waste. (To Miss Amour.) Sit here in this chair, please. (After a careful examination of the mouth, he proceeds to mix his plaster for the impression.) Madame, sit bolt upright; now I am ready. (He comes to the chair with the tray in his hand ready to insert in her mouth.) Miss Amour — Oh, Doctor, I forgot to tell you that I have heart failure. Let me breathe first. There, now — no, wait a little while, now — oh, dear, I am afraid I will gag! I know I shall! Would anyone die if they should swallow some of that white stuff? Suppose that it should get stuck in my mouth and never come out. Oh, dear! Oh, dear! What shall I do? Doctor — Now, madame, you have delayed so long that I must mix more plaster. (He returns to bench and prepares a second tray, then goes back to chair.) Now, madame, kindly be quiet and it will all be over in a few seconds. (He inserts tray in her mouth, whereupon Miss Amour begins to cough, gag and blow.) Obediah — (thinking this a good time for revenge.) Say, Doc, were all your specimens at college as bum as this one. By the way, Doc, you have loosened one of the lady ' s wigs. (The Doctor lets loose of the tray and starts toward Obediah. Miss Amour grabs for her wig, upsets the side table, jumps from the chair with the tray still in her mouth and with clenched fists rushes toward the two men.) Note— Right here the curtain rope broke and the curtain fell, never to rise again. The audience left, possibly thinking, like one of our Freshman friends, that the play was over. = -J BRaRY BALT.MOHE COLLEGE of DENTAL SURGERY, THE CHARMERS. CUppings. Dr. B.

NE BRIGHT, SUNNY AFTERNOON in October, a day which was very warm, and all Nature seemed to be in a drowsy condition, a few of us fellows were sleepily passing away the afternoon at the entrance of the College building, when we were startled from our day-dreams by seeing a dilapidated wagon stop in front of us. The wagon might probably have been made in the time of the One-Horse Shay, and had done service when the city of Baltimore was in its infancy. The horse to which this wagon was attached (if it might be dignified by such a name) might once have been an active animal, but now it was anything but that. Bulging eyes, lean in ribs, and with legs which looked as though they could be utilized as toothpicks, it looked a fit subject for the dissecting room of a veterinary college. The man by whom this animal was driven was a curious object to look at, and, everything considered, was the correct man to drive such an animal. He was a tall, angular man, with arms which dangled far below his knees, and with a beard which had probably been growing three or four weeks. He dismounted from the wagon, and with a frightened look meekly asked the way to the infirmary. On being shown, he slowly mounted the stairs, entered the infirmary and looked around. As he entered he was greeted by the boys with shouts of A wild man! The missing link! Uncle Josh Spruceby! etc. He was bewildered by these shouts and showed signs of wishing to escape, but was prevented from doing so by everyone crowding around him. Recovering somewhat from his bewilderment, he exclaimed, I never sawed so much excitement sence Sally and me went to the caircus in town, three years ago come April. By George, I want no excitement. I jest want this gol darned tooth yanked out. It ' s been a akin ' me fur pretty nigh a liul week now, and it ' s almost like to set me crazy, by George ! Never had so much pain in all my life afore. Seems like my head ' ll come off. How long he would have kept up this kind of talk is a matter of conjecture, had he not been interrupted by the voice of the kind demonstrator, who, upon learning the cause of his grief, gave poor Mr. Hayseed over to the tender care of wise Senior S . He was comfortably seated in one of the many beautiful dental chairs, and then this wise Senior proceeded to diagnose the case. Selecting an instrument suited to the case in hand, he made a few light passes to show his wonderful dexterity in the use of such instruments, and began to excavate the cavity. Before he had scarcely commenced, Mr. Hayseed was out of the chair, glaring wildly at the wise Senior, saying, I want none of that, sah, none of that. I want no mo ' fooling with that needle that you have in your hand, not by a darn sight. Come, sit down; I ' m not going to hurt you, came in gentle tones from the kind Senior. No, by gosh, you ' re not going to hurt me, you iot ' c done it. After a long time and a great deal of persuading he finally was reseated, but showed by his continual watching of every motion made by the Senior that he was anything but comfortable. He was next introduced to the very kind and loving dental engine, in whose hand-piece there was revolving a large bur. He took kindly to this for a short while, but when the bur touched the partially exposed pulp he stood it no longer, but with a howl of pain was out of the chair and on the floor a second time. It was quite plain that no amount of coaxing would get him in the chair again to submit to the necessary pain of the nerve treatment. What ' s all this gol darn nonsense about, anyway ? 1 want this hyar tooth yanked out, and that ' s what I came hyar for. It was explained to him that the tooth could be saved, but he said, he didn ' t want it saved, as he had plenty of others, and, anyway, when he lost them he could have false ones, like Sam Jones ' brother Ned. Seeing it was of no use explaining the value of saving his tooth, he was escorted to the extracting room, the crowd, of which I have spoken previously, never for a moment deserting him, and always keeping up a steady fire of jokes on Mr. Hayseed. In the extracting room his nervousness did not diminish, and the wild look was still in his glaring eyes. When asked if he would take gas, he said, By Gosh, I ' ve been taking enoug ' h gas from all these young fellows all afternoon. Everybody looked solemn, and Mr. Hayseed appeared disappointed when there was no apparent appreciation of his joke. After it was explained to him that the nature of the gas was to render him unconscious, or to lessen his relationship with the external world, he said, No, none of that for Uncle Si. I ' ll stay right with you and see what you ' re doing, by Gosh; none of that gas business for me. Asked if he would have a local injection, he said he kinder thought he would try that, as he saw some- thing er that kind advertised on ther barn out in ther country. It was easily seen that he did not understand 9 S what was meant, but, anyhow, the Senior proceeded to administer a hypodermic injection of tepid water. As soon as the needle touched the gum he evidently changed his mind about the hypodermic injection, as he objected, shouting, I want no needles in my gums ! It was very evident that it was useless to reason, so the Senior coaxed him to sit down, saying he would extract the tooth and then all would be over. Mr. Hayseed sat down, and the Senior, selecting- the proper forceps, proceeded to extract the tooth. Giving the wink to some of the fellows who were standing around the chair to hold the farmer down should be object to having the tooth removed, he placed the forceps on the offending molar. Right here Mr. Hayseed tried to stop the proceedings, but alas ! ' twas too late, as he was firmly held down by ten or twelve students lying all over his frail anatomy. Meanwhile the Senior was strenuously exerting himself to remove the tooth, which was firmly imbedded in the alveolus. At last it loosened and was extracted. Mr. Hayseed was released, and with a yell was oat of the chair and on the floor. Seizing his hat from one of the boys and forcing his way through the crowd which filled the extracting room, he hurriedly went down the stairs to the street. Jumping into his wagon he drove away. All this happened so quickly that most of us, who eagerly followed him, only saw when we reached the street Mr. Hayseed in his dilapidated wagon and his famous quadruped jogging easily down Eutaw Street. The fun now being over, and we having lost our sleepiness, most of us wandered slowly to our boarding- houses, While some few waited around the College, wishing that some other Mr. Hayseed would appear.

It was a lovely November evening;, the stars were twinkling brightly in the heavens, and not a cloud appeared to hide the moon ' s jovial face as she rode serenely in her majestic course ; and as Edwin rapped for admittance at the door of Lill ' s home he could hear the little doodle birds singing in his heart — singing ' of the love that he was about to make known, for he had hopes that he would soon take her from her cherished home in Jenkins ' .Alley and fly away, on the wings of love, to some far-off clime, and there live in the eternal bliss which ever surrounds two loving hearts. At the sound of his gentle knock beautiful Lill, clutching her heart in one hand and the family cat in the other, hastened to open the door, and as she saw Eddie standing there in all his manly beauty she dropped her heart, the cat, and gasped for joy. He hesitated — then quickly removing his box of cigarettes to another pocket, he clasped her in his arms. The stars twinkled, the moon smiled — suddenly a flash, and Edwin ' s right ear flew into the air, while a tomahawk imbedded itself in the door-post, and from behind them sprang — (To be continued.) publications.

PERIOD of twenty years seems a long ' time to look forward to ; a very short time to look back upon. About that number of years ago I was a Freshman at College, and as 1 sit here to-night my mind wanders back to that first year at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. At 3.30 o ' clock in the morning I am to start upon my annual vacation, and as it is now midnight it seems useless to retire, so I sit dosing in my chair and musing upon bygone events. I wonder if there were such things as ghosts or spirits, and if they would visit us on account of our misdeeds. If so, I fear that they would haunt many a dental student in after years. The scenes I have witnessed at College are amusing and at the same time atrocious. I sit here thinking of these things and they parade themselves before me. I picture in my mind ' s eye a day in the extracting room. I see a student extracting. He breaks the tooth, while the victim writhes under the torturous forceps. Again, a student with coal black hair and eyeglasses steps forward and extracts the wrong tooth. All at once I am aroused by a loud groan, and, being alone, am somewhat startled. On turning around I perceive a large negro in the act of spitting blood upon my carpet, and between these acts emitting loud groans. I am too much startled to speak, and am extremely puzzled, for his face is strangely familiar. How came you here? I ask. My answer is another groan. He is beside my chair, but on stretching out my hand it seems to go clear through him. The groan this time bears semblance to a chuckle. Who or what are you? I cry. Where have 1 seen you before? Think, he replies, in a hollow, sepulchral voice. Let your mind go back twenty years. With my head upon my hands 1 try to think. Then in a flash it all comes back to me. The College, the extracting room, and my fellow-students. A large negro with his face bandaged is in the chair. It is my turn. I try, and break the tooth. Try again, and tear the gum, and on a third trial bring roots and a large portion of the process. And are you always going to haunt me for that? My answer is another groan. I am about to address him again, when I give a start and find myself alone and trembling in every limb. The light was beginning to come in at the window, and on looking at the clock I found I had been sleeping. It was 4 o ' clock and I had missed my train. „ _ , . , f. D. M., 03. If.

C w A 8RARY BAL ' iiiuOliE, COLLEGE — OF DENTAL SURGERY. 1 S Vr m GOU CM viA UlbatQoever is Cdortb Doing at all is (Berth Doing Hell. E TRUTH of the maxim. Whatsoever is worth doing at all is worth doing well, is nowhere more apparent than in the study of dentistry. Time was. and not very long since, when the dentist was judged by his ability to relieve the sufferer of possessions which could never be replaced. Hap- pily those ideas, in a great majority of cases, have vanished and in their stead we find the dentist of the present day looked upon, not as a destroyer, but as a preserver of vital organs. He is, there- fore, a healer, a man devoting his life to the alleviation of the ills to which humanity is heir. To arrive at this standard requires close application to study. It has been suggested that the man who purposes studying den- tistry should take a preliminary course in a medical school and then for a short time attend a dental college to acquire that technique which he was unable to receive in the hospitals. This course has been proven to be erroneous, since it is impossible for a man to acquire the knowledge of the physician and also that peculiar to dentistry in any reasonable length of time, and even if he di d acquire such knowledge he would be a no better dentist, as many branches emphasized in the physician ' s training could never be of any practical use to him. But an intermediate course is being pursued. The dentist, in order to understand pathology, must have a general knowledge of physiology and anatomy. He must understand disease sufficiently to enable him to cope imderstandingly with those affections which he is sure to meet. He must understand drugs and their actions in order to prescribe them intelligently. In addition, he must have a general knowledge of chemistry and metallurgy to be able to make proper use of the various materials which he comes in contact with in his constructive work. In other words, he must have a broad and firm foundation on which to base his life-work. In addition to the theoretical knowledge, he must have practical experience. Anything, to be permanent, must be gradual. The general had to start as a private. The great surgeon as a hospital assistant. So the dentist has to spend a certain period in preparation to acquire that adeptness which is essential when operating on living tissue. To keep step with his growing responsibilities the length of time spent in study has been gradu- ally lengthened. At one time one year was deemed sufficient, then two, three, and now four years are to be spent. In this extended course the student is not subjected to a rushed-through education. He has time to become broader in his ideas. The matriculant during his first year is in a great majority of cases wholly unable to absorb facts, when presented to him. His second year finds him but little improved, and even in the third year he appreciates a ridiculously small amount of the instruction given him. The result has been in many instances that the graduate has gone forth to practice, almost wholly unfit for the responsibilities and trust placed in him by a confiding public. Consequently, he is humiliated and the whole standard of dentistry is lowered. He reaches a level from which it takes years of unceasing toil to elevate himself. But how different the graduate of the future. He starts his professional life with confidence in himself, knowing he has often- times combated with the very diseases he is again going to meet. He is looking for new worlds to conquer. He takes his place, not at the foot of the ladder, but near the top, and the standard of dentistry is raised, not lowered, by the acquisition of him to its ranks. R. B. J., 02.

Charlotte Perkixs Stetsox. x OUOTIXG these few lines I meant to appeal to every one of you. as an individual, with power to Im discriminate individuality from the complex of weakness and ignorance which, in so many instances, is wrongly titled dentist by the public and treated accordingly. With the beautiful thought these quotations convey. [ wanted to arouse self-criticism in you. fellow-students, in order to avert arro- gant self-sufficiency where you have found others around you to be erring. And, true to your vocation as man who may count nothing of what is human foreign to himself. do not run or turn your back in proud contempt upon a pitiful colleague who. having thrown a stigma on our profession by his practices, has stumbled and fallen by the wayside, but stand and let his failure be an incentive to you in the ' struggle for a high social standing, for the respect and recognition of a public that has often sneered at our principles of hon- esty as mere notions propagated in fancy. instead of complying with the conventional opinion of the world, tending to prejudicial suspicions in regard to our knowdedge and. what is of such vital importance to a refined public, education, it should be our duty to mortify such an opinion by strenuous efforts to elevate each ether. And that can only be accomplished, first of all, by putting our veracity and integrity through the severe trials of self-criticism. As long as an unpardonable indifference for self-education prevails, no help whatever will prove effective. Why is it that only a few men in our profession enjoy the privilege of public appreciation? Because they have learned to move beyond the limits of dentistry ; because, next to the scrupulous performance of their pro- fessional duties, the} ' endeavor to be enlightened by meditation on subjects which move on the busy track of daily life, and those which in emergencies the argu mentative mood of a restless public is very apt to create. And by doing so they have become thinkers, able to analyze the motives of existence, to unravel life ' s conun- drums ; in a word, to study life ' s philosophy. Do not try to deceive yourselves with the excuse, Our duties are many and time is too short. ' ' There is none among us, whatever may be his mental ability, who cannot spare an hour or so in reading books on other subjects than dentistry. And if our professors, with all their cares of practice, can devote time to fulfil social duties with energy and skill, what can be your excuse? Life ' s tragedy is not a happy-go-lucky game, in which Fate alone has its say and play ; man. too, can throw a die, vary the acts and enjoy the best of an evil. Whatever may be your circumstances, let them not paralyze your energy and create your position. Some hard sense behind the fortifications of intellect can make even the most inexorable critic beat a retreat. The birth of a Debating Club must inspire every true child of the B. C. D. S. with enthusiasm. Forward, forward, boys, and once, when victory has crowned your efforts, you shall cry out in triumph. Eureka ! Then let your standard-bearer unfurl his banner and proudly show the golden inscription of your device, Honestum petimus usque. to the world. M. J. J.

T SEEMS strange, indeed, that a College as old and as famous as the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery could have existed for so many years without that important and essential factor — a Debat- ing Club. Nevertheless, this is a fact. It appears as though this great and noble enterprise had been reserved for the Class of Nineteen Three. However this may be, its members were the first to con- ceive the idea and to successfully accomplish the organization. The object of such a society is very evident. In short, it is a training school to develop the man. It would be impossible in this limited space to give a detailed enumeration of the many and various benefits it offers. Suffice it to say that it is here that the opportunity for overcoming hesitancy in speech, for developing oratorical talent, for becoming intelligent on subjects pertaining to dentistry, and for gaining a fairly good knowledge of parliamentary law, is afforded ; besides the wits are sharpened by contention in debate. These are a few of the direct advantages, while the ultimate results are far more important. The training- obtained will be of inestimable value in after life, both in gaining the confidence of patients by the earnest and forceful manner of address acquired while debating, and by knowing that practice has enabled you to make public speeches if called upon to do so. These things are certain to materially aid in making your profes- sion a success. The Club was organized at the beginning of the session, and already there has been a marked improve- ment in all the members. So great, in fact, that they consider themselves prepared to let the public criticise by holding an open meeting. Although the membership is mostly in the Junior Class, still it is a College Club.

Under the able management of Dr. W. G. Foster it has achieved marked success. It has been fortunate in obtaining men of no little ability and experience as Directors. Although it loses each year some of its members by the completion of their course, still in each new class are found men qualified to fill the positions occupied by those who have won laurels for themselves and their Alma Mater. This year has been no less propitious for the Club. It is to be believd that in Mr. Carr it has found an efficient and capable leader. For eleven years past he has devoted himself exclusively to his profession as instructor of the banjo, mandolin and guitar, also appearing as banjo soloist in all the leading cities of the East. Mr. Carr is widely known in the musical world, having contributed articles to all the best banjo, mandolin and guitar journals of America and Europe. The fact that he was chosen one of the five in the United States to adjudicate at the grand banjo, mandolin and guitar concert and competition given in the American Academy of Music at Philadelphia, Pa., shows in how high esteem Mr. Carr ' s knowledge of music is held. As a violin soloist Mr. Evans has won enviable distinction. He was leader of the East End Orchestra, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., for two years; also of the First Presbyterian Church Orchestra, of Askley, for five years. He was a member of Professors Oppenheim ' s and Croll ' s Orchestras in the Nesbitt and Grand Opera Theatres, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Mr. Shea has been connected with Doud ' s Orchestra, of Fall River, Mass., and was also a member of Professors Shield ' s and Young ' s Orchestras, of Newport, R. I. Mr. Weichselbaum has been with the B. C. D. S. Mandolin and Guitar Club since his entrance at College in ' 99. He has likewise had considerable experience with the Adrian Mandolin and Guitar Club, of Savannah, Georgia. Mr. Burt was associated with the B. C. D. S. Club during the session of ' 99 and ' 00, and this year finds him again occupying the same position. Music is not altogether new to Mr. Jessup, he having been connected with two bands at Shickshinny, and also with Raleigh ' s Band, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. He is now a member of the Instrumental Quartet of this College, as well as of this Club. Mr. Loewe ' s experience as a guitar player is quite extensive, he having been a member of the Bruno, Jolly Four, Washburn and University of Maryland Mandolin and Guitar Clubs. Mr. Mitchell was connected with the Columbia Mandolin and Guitar Club, of Portland, Me. Mr. Davidson was a member of the Richmond Mandolin and Guitar Club, of Virginia. About men of such talent and experience nothing needs be said concerning their future. Success is assured. BAL COLLEGE DE. TmL SURGERY. Y. M. C. A. OFFICERS. Y. ]M. C. H. Officers. Clarence E.

A., though only two years old, has been steadily gaining an important place in the student life of the College. It was organized in the Fall of 1899, and from that time it has increased both in activity and in membership. Our Bible Class, which started last year, is continuing the same systematic course of study, meeting every Sunday at Levering Hall. Much interest is shown in these weekly sessions, and although we have lost two of last year ' s class, who have left the College meanwhile, more have joined from the first year class. We had a fine boarding house list last fall, and the receptions given at the Central Y. M. C. A. and at Dr. Kelly ' s home were much appreciated. We greatly need permanent headquarters, as the influence of the Association is hampered by having no house of its own. Next year we hope to have a nicely furnished room near the College, and everything points to the success of such a plan if undertaken. We feel that such an organization as ours has a very definite place in student life ; that we are gradually filling that place, and our hope is that we may be of use in setting a good tone in our College, so that a definite rallying-point may exist for the upbuilding and strengthening of Christian character among us. DZ Rary s college - surto Htbletics. THE ATTENTION which is now being given to physical culture in our schools and colleges often raises a question as to their value as a basis for success in life. It will be impossible within the limits of this br ief monograph to put in a full defense of Athletics. In looking at the question broadly we find plenty of evidence that the nations which have given most attention to the development of the body and the care of the health have not only been of a superior quality physically, but they have attained the greatest mental pre-eminence and have excelled in the arts of war and peace. Let us for a moment brush aside the mist of ages and view with greater clearness the heroic age of Greece and Rome, because it was so nearly a counterpart of ours that comparison is interesting. Athletics were studied in Greece as a branch of art and led to several useful rules of diet and exercise applicable to ordinary modes of life. Bodily strength and activity were so highly honored by the Greeks that the athlete held a position in society totally different to the modern pugilist. When he proposed to enter the lists at the Olympic or other public games he was examined as regard to birth, social standing, and moral character. At Rome athletic sports were witnessed nearly two hundred years before Christ, and the athletes went so far as to form a corporation. These were the Romans who taught the world how to govern mankind. Among modern nations Germany, England and the United States rank the highest in mental attainments, and in industrial and commercial success, and yet these nations give more attention to the physical training and health of their school children than any others, through their admirable systems of gymnastics and athletic sports and games. If the student of biography will look up the life history of the men who have been the foremost leaders of the world in every branch of science and every kind of endeavor, if he will bring to mind the great founders and preservers of our nation, like Washington, Franklin, Lincoln and Grant, if he will read the newspaper names that figure in the present day triumphs of gigantic business enterprises, like Vanderbilt, Morgan, and Carnegie, be will find almost invariably that they are or have been men of sound bodies and vigorous minds. 146 Observe the names of the twenty-nine distinguished Americans selected to adorn the Hall of Fame, and note that they came of sturdy stock, and were men possessed of great constitutional vigor. Thus this great array of geniuses plainly demonstrates that physical training begets mental growth and induces success. Athletics in the C. C. D. S. have been somewhat neglected, but we hope that at last some enthusiasm has been aroused by the organization of a baseball team and also a fencing and boxing club. The good that can be derived from these depends entirely upon the interest manifested by the students. There is no reason why we cannot make these a source of much amusement and pleasure, and believe that they should receive the hearty support of our College. i D TALS UR c ERy _ BASEBALL TEA Baseball. w TILE the season for baseball is short and the time the men can give to Athletics is very limited, yet we hope to have a team in the field that will do us credit. In the past we have been handicapped by not being- able to find active and able leaders, but we believe we have them this year in Mr. V. A. Robbins as Manager and Mr. Geo. A. Lynch as Captain, both of whom have had considerable baseball expe- rience. About thirty candidates reported for practice in the fall, and out of this number the following 5 chosen : Catcher, McCuskey. Second Base, Axkexy. Right Field. Jackson. Manager, Wil. A. Robbixs. Pitchers, Clark and Johxstox. Third Base, McCulloji. Lett Field, Lyx ' CH. First Base, Martin and Mack. Sho?-t Stop, Thomtsox, E. C. Center Field, Guy. Officer of the Ccam. Captain, Geo. A. Lynch. Secretary and Treasurer, H. B. McCuskey . The members of the team are all old ball players, McCuskey having caught for the W. Va. University Team, Clark pitched for the Pawtucket High School, Johnston with the team of Dover, N. J. ; Martin held down first base and Lynch left field for the Holy Cross College Team ; Ankeny won a reputation with the S. D. A. Club, of Johnstown, Pa. ; McCullom was the star third-baseman of Shenandoah Valley Academy, of Winchester, Ya. ; Thompson played with the University of Minnesota; Guy was a member of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute team for three years ; Jackson was with St. Anne ' s College, of Fall River, Mass., and Mack did fine work for the B. M. C. Team. The team looks strong on paper, and no doubt will prove as powerful in the field, where we hope it will win the championship for the Blue and Old Gold. ' „ _ _ E.

One cold night the moon was shining, And the stars were clear and bright, And I closed my books, repining — That ' twas time to say good-night. And I slept, and dreamed in sleeping, That ' twas years and years ahead. And I a vigil lone was keeping In the halls I once had tread. ' Twas in our B. C. D. S. building. But ' twas changed, as all must change; Everything was wealth and gilding, Grandeur everywhere in range. Front of stone, with marble finish, Entrance grand, imposing — fine ; That all did not speedily diminish Caused surprise great to be mine. Lecture hall was large and roomy, Oaken chairs with cloth were hung, All was clean as hands could make it; Windows crystal shadows flung. Smoking here could not be thought of, Smoking den there was for that. Sleepy hollows — comfort bought of Books and papers lay about. Big room for Frats was reserved. Here they alone could come; Here candidates were all unnerved, But as to the method had to be Mum. A big Gym filled the entire basement, A fine cage it was, too — Where athletes swung from ceil to casement. And then their broken bones could rue. The Debating Club had a cozy place, Where they held forth on topics wise; Where reason and nonsense entered the race, And were lauded both to the skies. The women had a corner, too, Which was sacred, for them alone ; Where they studied or read, or would rest, And thus for overwork atone. In the infirmary, lo! I saw Each chair had an oaken chest; Instruments, medicines, linen sweet Were within, and all of the best. And. a Dental Depot the College ran, Where students could buy at cost; The Seniors supplied the lower class men And never a thing was lost. In going up the stairs I fell Before I reached the Museum door, And now I ' ve nothing more to tell, Because my story is no more. These wonderful changes hadn ' t even begun, For in falling I awoke and ' twas still 1901. H Summer ' s 6pisode. She met him at the bars On this pleasant eve in May, And the words ' that passed between tin Tis not wise -that I should say. Those lovely eyes were dear to him, So bright and fair and mellow; He knew that she was true to him, For she loved no other fellow. He clasped her in his fond embrace In such a loving way, That her heart was nearly melted At the close of this fair day. And thus they stood in happiness, With the twilight round them shining Her thoughts were of the present time, His to the future were inclining. And as he did caress her cheek, And smooth her auburn hair. She laid her head upon his brea Without a thought of care. And since you have asked my aid Why, I will tell you now. For he was but the farmer ' s boy. And she, the Jersey cow. Be ]Vot a Chronic Critic. In speaking of another ' s faults, Do not forget your own ; Remember those in homes of glass Should seldom throw a stone. If we have nothing else to do But talk of those who sin, ' Tis better that we look at home. And from that point begin. We have no right to judge a man Until he ' s fairly tried; Should we not like his company, We know this world is wide. Some may have faults, and who has not: The old as well as young; Perhaps we may. for aught we know, Have sixteen to their one. I ' ll tell you of a better plan, I find it works full well: I try my own defects to cure Before the others tell ; And though I sometimes hope to be No worse than some I know, My own shortcomings bid me let The faults of others go.

S.White Dental Mfg. Co. PHILADELPHIA NEW YORK BOSTON CHICAGO BROOKLYN ATLANTA ROCHESTER BERLIN BUENOS AYRES ST. PETERSBURG TORONTO |IF d entistry was worked out, if all the problems of dental practice were solved, if the lines on which dental treatment should pro- ceed were reduced to hard and fast rules applicable to all cases and conditions, there would be no need of a periodical literature for the profession. There would be no need to longer observe, compare, reflect, and record. The record, in fact, would be made up. But dentistry is still a very living ' art, and it is likely to continue so. While differences in temperament, age, and sex exist, questions in treatment will present themselves for solution, for which the books have laid down no rule. They may have described approximate cir- cumstances, but the variations, and the changes in procedure caused by the variations, add to the sum of knowledge and may serve to suggest to others entirely different methods. A periodical literature which shall note accurately the advances in professional knowledge is there- fore a necessity to the progressive dentist. In order that he may benefit most from the studies and achievements of his fellow-practitioners, he must keep in touch with at least that one of its magazines which most nearly reflects the progress of his profession, whether on its ' practical ' ' or on its scientific side. Keeping in touch, in this case, means not merely subscribing for the magazine, but also contributing to enrich its pages. There are, we are sure, few men who have wrestled with the problems of dental practice who have not worked out some idea which will help at least some brother practitioner. The Denial Cosmos, which is offered as more nearly representing the best phases of practical and scientific dentistry than any other ' dental periodical, would like to have, not merely the subscription of every dentist, but his contributions to its reading pages. It offers in exchange the record of what others are doing along the same line of effort. It believes that any dentist will get many times the subscrip- tion price in value from its pages. Subscriptions may begin at any time. Subscription price, $2.50 a year, to United States, Dominion of Canada, and Mexico; $3.00 a year, in advance, to other U. P. U. countries. CHARLES R.
