When God in His Almight} Providence took from our midst Dr. Thomas Sargent Latimer, he took one of our most beloved professors. Thomas Sargent Latimer was born in Savannah, Geoi-gia, on June 15, 1839, and died in the city of Baltimore on May 16, 1906. His was the son of William Geddes Latimer, who died in Savannah in 1845, after w-hich period his family removed to Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania, and it was there that Thomas Latimer passed his youth. His early education was started at Shrewsbury Academy and was completed at a larger institution at York, Pennsylvania. At the age of eighteen he began the study of medicine, matriculating at the University of Maryland and graduating from that institution in the spring of 1861. Through study, convictions, and associations his sympathies were ear y enlisted with the South. A marked instance is shown here in the fact that his surroundings from the time he was five years of age were of an entirely different character and in an entirely different atmosphere from that of his boyhood and early manhood, he espoused the cause of the Southern Confederacy from a thorough conviction that the principles of the Lost Cause were just and right. He enlisted in May, 1861, as a private in the company commanded by Captain E. R. Dorsey of the First Maryland Infantry, and served with gallantry until his pro- motion and appointment as assistant surgeon in November, 1861. His next service was in the medical corps of the Army of Northern Virginia and his marked ability was recognized by promotion to the rank of full surgeon, by assignment to duty in charge of hospitals, as assistant medical purveyor of the army and other posts, requiring skill and intelligent business qualities. He was a participant in the first battle of Manassas, in the battles of the Valley Campaign of 1862, under Jackson, the Seven Days ' Battle in front of Richmond, including Gaines ' Mill, Malvern Hill, second battle of Manassas, Fredericksburg and the Spottsylvania campaign. His career as a soldier was closed with the surrender of the Army of the Confed- eracy. As a soldier, he was bold, intrepid, thoroughly cool, obedient and brave. As an army surgeon these same qualities were exemplified in the daily life. Self- sacrifice seemed to have been the key notes for his rule of life. 5 After the war was over Dr. Latimer spent some little time in Porto Rico with a brother and returned to Baltimore in 1866 and was made resident physician in charge of the Lombard Street Infirmarj ' . In 1868 he began the practice of medi- cine as a private practitioner. In the spring of 1S73 he was appointed to the Professorship of Principles and Practice of Surgerj ' in the College of Physicians and Surgeons. On January 15, 1875, he was appointed to the Professorship of Physiology, Dental Histology and Comparative Dental Anatomy at the Baltimore College of Dental Surger ' which chair he held up to the time of his death. In 1877 he was transferred to the chair of Physiology at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and again in 1888 he was transferred to the Chair of Principles and Prac- tice of Medicine, which he held up to the time of his death. Dr. Latimer ' s love for children caused him to pay especial attention to the diseases of childhood, and in 1876 he became one of the attending physicians at the Nurserj ' and Chili ' s Hospital, continuing his work with it actively for many years and up to the time of his death as a consultant. In 1882 he was elected vice-president of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland and two years later, in 1884, was made its president. In 1887 he was appointed a member of the State Lunacy Commission and shortly afterwards was made its president, which office he continued to hold and the duties of which he continued to discharge up to the time of his death. As a teacher the members of the Senior Class, will best remember him; he was earnest, faithful and indefatigable. He had the power of inspiring those around him to be definite and accurate in their work, to be careful in their observations and scientifically truthful in their deductions. In the lecture room he was eloquent, clear, concise, and definite in all of his statements. He had the power of graphically portraying every type of disease in the fewest possible words; of eliciting the leading and dominant symptoms of each case, and in his choice of language there was always the evidence of a cultured and literary mind, with an extensive and choice vocabu- lary. No student ever appealed to him for aid or advice without being materiallj ' benefited thereby. He was essentially the students ' friend; when it is considered that he was in touch with not less than si.x; hundred students a year, both dental and medi al, and that he was the physician to this large number, it can be appre- ciated how great were the demands upon his already overtaxed time. His benevo- lence was unbounded. Oft times when a student who was in a state of financial embarrassment had been taken ill with a disease that a nurse ' s attention was . necessary, he was known to defray all expenses. His private practice was extremely large, but his zeal, fidelity to work and systematic habit of discharging every duty promptly enabled him to get through each day with an enormous amount of work. No man was more greatly loved and idolized bj ' his patients, young and old, than was Thomas Latimer. He was one who loved truth and lavished life ' s best oils to find her. As a friend, comrade and companion there was lacking in him nothing one could desire. S. W. W. 6 COL ' (CLE Treface That the compihng of this vcihime has caused us much thought and perturba- tion is evident. What the future has in store for us, depends greatly on the sweet and angelic dispositions of our readers. However our motto is United we stand — divided we fall, and we have measured well our chances. We might add that Every knock is a boost, also that a smile had better go with any expression regarding us that would not look well in print. In conclusion we tender our thanks to those who ha ' e materially aided us, to make this book a success, and if in after years, it serves to recall the dear old college days, we are amply repaid.

Yes, such is the case. For many years the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery was the only institution of its kind in existence. It was chartered in 1839 by the Act of the Legislature of the State of Mary- land, the following gentlemen constituting the Faculty: H. H. Hayden, M.D., Professor of Physiology and Pathology; R. W. Baxley, M. D., Professorrf Anatomy; C. A. Harris, M.D., Professor of Theory and Practice of Dentistry; and Thomas E. Bond, M.D., Professor of Therapeutics. Perhaps at this place it would not be amiss to insert a short sketch of the lives of two of the gentlemen whose names are mentioned above, and who were really the founders of our College. For the following sketches we are indebted to Charles McManus, D.D.S., of Hartford, Conn. CHAPIN A. HARRIS was born in 1806, in Pompey, New York. He commenced his medical studies early in life and began to 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 reputation. In 1833 he 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 peri- odical devoted especially to the interests of the profession. Drs. Harris and Eleazer Parmly were joint editors of this periodical and, in accordance with the arrange- ment, the first volume was issued from New York, June, 1839, under the title of 17 The American Journal of Dental Science. During the first year of its publi- cation 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 educat- ing 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 Mary- land 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 Dissertation 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 B.altimore on the 29th of Septem- ber, 1860. HORACE H HAYDEN was born at Windsor, Conn., 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 the 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 New 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 profess ion 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 Mar -land 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 profe,ssion, he, Dr. C. A. Harris and others sent a petition to the Legislature, in December, 1839, to estab- lish 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 reelected 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, in the seventy-fifth year of his age. We have already stated that the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery is the oldest institution of its kind in existsnce, and for this reason we might say that Baltimore is really the cradle of dentistry and of the dental profession. A remarkable feature of dentistry, a feature common to no other profession, is that, although it is one of the most prominent professions to-day, its evolution is embraced within the span of one human life. The practical inauguration of the new coUge presented a difficulty well known in America, when professors often outnumbered students. At length five legiti- mate students of dentistry were found to covet the honor of the new title D.D.S., and the first course of instruction was given in the winter of 1840-41. The didactic lectures were delivered in a small room, publicly situated, but the teachings of practical anatomy demanded privacy, and other prudential considerations also suggested the use for that purpose of a secluded stable loft, the prejudice of the community against dissection having shown itself some years before. Dr. Bond, in his valedictory to the graduates, at its first commencement exercises, March, 1841, says: You have been taught that dental surgery is not a new art separate from, and independent of, general medicine; but that it is an important branch of the science of healing. You have seen and traced out the exquisitely beautiful machinery by which the human organism is everywhere knit together; you have carefully examined the phenomena of health and disease, as they are manifested in the dental arch, its connections and relations, and you have been taught to regard the human body as a whole, united in all its parts, and pervaded everywhere by strong and active sympathies; and your principles of practice have been carefully formed on a sound knowledge of general medicine and it is therefore that you must be thorouglily educated in .the fundamental branches of mecUcine as the medical man himself. The college was organized with the design of teaching dentistry as a regular brancli of medicine, and in order to denote the phenomenal progress of the old Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, start at the time of its birth; wlien there were about 1,200 practitioners of dentistry in America, more than one half of whom were ignorant, incapable men, whose knowledge was composed of a few secrets which they had purchased at fabulous prices from other charlatans, and who considered three or four weeks ample time in which to attain all the knowledge necessary to the successful pursuit of the calling, and contrast the requirements of that time with those of the present day. This is the sixty-third year of the career of the College with its prospects for usefulness brighter than ever. It has added to its faculty and clinicah corps strong and active mm, and is better equipped to carry out the purpose of its inception than at any period of its existence The results of its work in sixty-three years are world-wide in their influence upon dentistry. Over twenty-two hundred graduates have gone from this College into practice, and these are scattered all over the civilized world. They are located in nearly every city of Europe. They lead the profession in all the great centers of civiliza- tion and have won eminence in England, France, Russia, Switzerland, Spain and Italy. They have carried the honors of the institution into Asia, Australia, and the land of the pyrarnids, while in everj State of our Republic, and in all parts of Canada they have demonstrated their own worth and the excellent training afforded them by their Alma Mater. They have met with signal honor abroad, nearly every court dentist in Europe being a graduate of this institution. Such in brief is the history of our dear old College, our beloved Alma Mater, where we are now seeking a training which will not only bring distinction to, and benefit us personally, but which shall instill nobler ideas into our minds, and so broaden our characters, that we may become better citizens, and better able to fill our allotted place in life, whatever it may be. And may we ever prove an honor to the calling in which we are about to engage, and to our best friend, the Balti- more College of Dental Surgery.

Driscoll 2.3 History, of Class 1907 At the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, the Senior Class is always larger than the Junior, thus proving that a diploma from this college is more desirable. Upon the faces of the boys could be discerned a feeling of gladness and determi- nation; glad, because it was the beginning of the last of the course; determined because of a realization of the responsibilities before us as Seniors. There was also a feeling of sadness present when we went up the steps, and into the lecture hall, we missed the step we were so accustomed to hearing at twelve on Thursdays and Fridays; we missed the character we had learned to honor and reverence. Dr. Latimer was with us no more. No more would he expound to us the theories of physiology, histology and comparative anatomy; he had been called to a higher place in the land above. There were new faces before us at lectures. Dr. Hardy had ceased to flow solder and assign plates. He was now lecturing on physiology while his former position was to be filled by the never-failing Dr. Burgess. Dr. Grieves had come to us from the University of Maryland to give us a thorough course in histology and comparative anatomy. Dr. Kelsey had accepted the chair of orthodontia, and we were to know irregularities in their minutest details. We were not long in realizing that we were up against it, as no prevoius class in this college ever had been and we went to work. Such a studious class was never known (possibly). As the time for the end draws near a feeling of sadness creeps over us. While it will be a relief to finish the course, still we will not leave Old Baltimore without regrets. And now to the Faculty. It is to them that we owe a debt of thanks. They have given to us the best; they have labored for our advancement; that which they know and have so interestingly given to us has cost them long hours of labor; we will never forget their kindenss. We are on the verge of separation. Soon we will scatter and seek for ourselves locations for the practice of our profession. To be successful there is but one motto, we must have before us the motto consisting of one word work. May we all aim high so that each one and every of us may do something to raise the standard of our chosen profession that we love so well. THE HISTORIAN. 1 ATWOOD, L. K.

But alas the vision is gone before him. And to my classmates I offer this the prophecy of the Class of ' 07 hoping that it will be received in the same spirit in which it is written. With best wishes for a successful future for each and every individual in the Class of ' 07. PROPHET. 0 .T -vr ts 1908 Junior Class, 1908 Motto Colors SUCCEDERE NOSTRA AMBITIO. BLUE AND WHITE.

De F Maryland History) of Class, 1908 Our history is of men from all parts of the glorious Union, from where the Atlantic ' s waves kiss the eastern shore to where the Pacific waters wash the Golden Gate; from the snow_v fields of Maine to the flower gardens of the sunny South. A year has sped quickly b} ' . It has been a pleasant and profitable one. We have been rewarded for our year ' s labor and we enter upon our second year with renewed determination to work with the spirit of enthusiasm, and to become friends and companions interested in each other ' s welfare and endeavoring to merit the approval of our Faculty. To bestow a fitting description on each member of this class, would be a difficult undertaking, suffice it to say that we are possessed of all the good character- istics of the American youth. We make no claims to the greatness as a class, we leave that to the individual members. Confidence have we in each member to make the class of nineteen hundred and eight the best on record. Thus early in our College course have some of our class distinguished themselves, making the highest marks ever made at the B. C. D. S. The only way to appreciate the blessings of the present is to stop for a brief moment and take a glimpse of the past back to the fall of ' 05. Glancing over the life of the up-to-date class, the Historian, an optimist, is struck with the fact that nearly all the events which have happened during the past two years have been particularly pleasant. As Juniors we considered it our first duty to initiate the Freshmen. There is little doubt that this was w-ell done. Our introduction into the Chemical Laboratory was followed by the course of dissecting, a disagreeable but necessary one and this was successfully accom- plished without misfortunes. In all other branches, we have been equally success- ful. We have made records in the athletic fields at basket-ball and on the track. We have been told by those who have imbibed at the fountain of wisdom that we should not meditate over the dreary past, nor dream of the uncertain future, but that we should live in the present. What we have achieved in our studies, time alone can tell. If we fail, the fault is all our own. 46 The session is now drawing to a close. Time and cordialt}- have Ijrought about a reconcihation between the students of the three classes. And now, companions, our class history ends and the sweet smile of vacation is with us again. THE HLSTORIA.NT. cA Massing thought The gladsome day is drawing near, To which each Senior looks with glee. Though not without a sense of fear That he a Senior still may be. Not happy that the days shall close When at our desks we did gather, And each one had his little doze; Stay right here, we think we ' d rather. Nor to be glad no more to liear Our teachers ' voices, heard so oft; And each spake out, ' twas naught to fear But the good Dean ' s ' twas mild and soft, Except the evening he would choose, To call the roll, that he might see How many might be on the booze And who in the infirmary. Mr. Blank, he calls, in accents few, Operating the boys do puff, I ' ll ask my brother if its true; The Dean ' s all right, and up to snuf3 ' . These jots of mirth amidst our work Have lightened much the wearied brain, A.nd often when the blues did lurk ' Bout us, did banish: sweet refrain. Ambitions now within us spring. Each bosom doth some aim cherish; And ne ' er forget some good to bring To mankind — by this we flourish. While some their ups and down shall meet, And others still more blessed by fate; Let each, with truth, his trials greet. And learn to labor and to wait. H. W. S.

A Maine 53 Freshman History Distinctly I remember the quiet auspices under which the present Fresliman Class embarlcecl upon its Dental career. It was on a balmy evening of October that the opening addresses were delivered by different members of our worthy Faculty. The professors and students in general seemed to extend a cordial greeting to each new comer and it really made one feel at home (especiallj those who had undertaken their first stupendous jour- ney on the precarious path of world ' y endeavor) to be granted the privilege of enjoying these kindly greetings which not always go hand in hand with a student ' s life. The Faculty keeping one point constantly in view, namely, the student ' s wel- fare while away from home influences and the manifold pitfalls an unsuspecting person might fall into, were emphatically dwelt upon, I may safely say not in vain. Some have learned to appreciate these facts while others perhaps have deemed it advisable to ignore them — suffice to say, however, that the majority have understood the significance of the addresses, hence we may consider them as having found fertile soil and we ma} ' ' safely predict that the members of the present Fresh- man Class will eventually be at the head of the profession due to the undivided, attention given to these opening addresses and the subsec[uent training which we will receive at this College. • The quiet atmosphere seemed to predict untold agony to some of the members of the Freshman Class as in the natural course of events a storm follows a calm. It was not long after the members of the Junior Class deemed it incumbent to initiate us into the intricacies of the embryonal stage of a dental student ' s career. On this particular morning calmness serene reigned throughout the College, in consequence of which the lecture proceeded unmolested in the Lecture Hall, W ' hile his Infernal Majestj ' and his colleagues (considered honorable members of the Junior Class) were deeplj ' studying the grotesque characters which when embel ish- ing a Freshman ' s countenance would excite laughter on the part of the laity. The lecture being over a noise resembling that of the eruption of Mount Pelee was heard at the only means of exit, further investigation showed what the true meaning c f this commotion really signified. Armed at the door ten thousand strong were arrayed the mighty hosts of the Seniors and Juniors with their missils of sartorial destruction. 54 The Freshmen were instant ineously embarrashed and before they could regain their equilibrium they were led out one by one between two stalwart Juniors like lambs to the slaughter to receive no courteous treatment at their hands in this charhber of horrors. Having been commanded, we reluctantly denuded ourselves to present a clear territory in order to facilitate the embel ishing of our honorable persons. A diverse variety of colors were promiscuously blended on the epidermis of each individual Freshman. This tribe of Indians in their war paints were then securely bound by means of a rope and to finish the decoration placards of homely mottoes were added, lest we be mistaken for the real thing. The Hail Columbia being struck up on a frying pan, the calvacade started from the College to the strains of this stirring music. Having posed in our initiatory attire before kodak fiends we b„de farewell to one lonely Lady Freshmen who leaned far out of the window to bid us Godspeed on our sightseeing tour. Amid great enthusiasm and prolonged hurrahs and the chimes of numerous cow bells boldly marched this magnificent tribe of Indians through the streets of this New Jerusalem. This unearthly band of humans was suddenly brought to a halt at the command of a diminutive Junior with a big head in front of No. 9 West Frankhn Street, the residence of our Dean, there to be received by him with sanctuous decorum. His being the first sympathic eye we had met since our embarkation. Passing in honorable review, we resumed our journey over the smooth cobblestones of the New Jerusalem, with the sun beating unmercifully upon our tender craniums we next visited the College of P. and S. and U. ri M., where we were vociferously greeted and with embraces and kisses our Hebrew friend was unostentatiously introduced to our Brethren at these Honorable Institutions. After spending a pleasant half hour we resumed our journey through some of Baltimore ' s rocky streets which need not be here enumerated. After a long and peri ous journey we were disbanded and by now felt we were fairly launched on our careers. Peace was now restored and we considered our tribute had been paid to their Infernal Majesties. A few weeks later a class meeting was called by our President, the Juniors considering that our humiliation was not sufficient, they unceremoni- ously disturbed the peace of our meeting. On this occasion they were met with resistance and had it not been for the Seniors uniting with them, they would undoubtedly have been vanquished. After a fierce struggle which was stopped by the throwing of dry plaster into our determined faces, one half of the Seniors and Juniors forces betook themselves to the plaster-room and prepared for us an invest- ment of plaster and water while the remaining forces marshaled us clown the stairs simply to receive a plaster shampoo, This was the most unkind cut of all. After various alleged suits for damages between Freshman Kohn and various members of the Junior Class the matter was adjusted. This uncouth treatment satisfied the 55 ravenous appetite of the Juniors and peace and good-fellowsliip was again estab- lished. Many other interesting episodes have subsequently followed. Space being limited let me extend my greetings and congratulations on behalf of the Freshman Class to the Seniors and Juniors and may they succeed as well in their examinations and practice as they did in our decorations.

Fraternity With approximately six millions of American freemen enlisted in the Fraternal and Secret Orders of the United States, it seems mere tautology to ask What is Fraternity? Yet the question, like Banquo ' s ghost, will not down. From a philological standpoint, Fr; ternity is derived from the Latin words frater, ' ' meaning brother, and eo meaning I go and the true interpretation is, I go into a brotherhood. The reasons for the going are perhaps as many as the men who enter it; yet, the personal and pertinent question for each of us to consider is, Did I enter to. benefit solely, or to be benefited solelj ' ? And upon the majority of answers to this question hinges the real value of the Fraternity as it exists. Did I enter solely for the benefits I might personally derive — many do — or did I enter solely for the good I might do others? — Few do. Or did I enter to give and receive benefits? These are personal questions, Ijut unless the percentage of answers is largely on the correct side of the ledger, then that Fraternity has lost its true significance and would better not exist. In this day of fervid rush to obtain recognition. Fraternity, is often thought to be a stepping stone to personal gratification, so that selfishness and too little of the man holds sway. Of course as a Fraternity grows in membership, so should its influence be increasingly far-reaching in the propagation of ethics and in the interest of its members; but are the personal benefits, or in other words, What can I get out of it features, the Alpha and Omega of Fraternity? By no means, and they should not be magnified out of correct proportion to our principles. Each Fraternity exists for a specific purpose, while all have a common end, and the objective of a Dental Fraternity is on the highest plane. Unless I can in truth take my Ijrother by the hand and give him the grip that binds and say, My brother, I am glad to meet you. then I myself am not a true Fraternalite. Selfish interest, ends, aims and ambition should not have thought-room in the mind of any member. Brethren should help and love each other, but the helping should not be Pharasrical and the loving need not be openly manifest. 64 The binding ties of true Fraternity should be so powerful yet mystical, that they would be evident at every turn, Ijut impossible of explanation. They should be better felt than told. A little story is told of a sparrow that had built her nest under the eaves of a house. The young were hatched, yet after a time, not onh ' the mother sparrow, but birds of other families came there; da} after day bringing food and always a great commotion was heard. After a time, curious to know the cause of all this, the observer climbed to where he could see, and beheld a full-grown bird in the nest which did not stir at his approach. On lifting the bird he observed that it was totally blind, though otherwise normal. He replaced the bird and found helpful sympathy in observing the Fraternity of the bird family as they helped the helpless. Can we not draw a lesson from this? Are- we to be outdone by the feathered family? No. brothers, let us make the time binding compact, a blessing to eternity. A. L. Cheney, ' 07. BAL- . .. ii. GOLLEC DJ r-JTAL SURGERY Athletics In athletics, the past year, hke all other years, has had its victories and its defeats; but we are convinced that on the whole we can report progress. The basketball team this year seemed to be very fast and strong considering the little time the boys were allowed to devote to practice. The team consisted of the following: Hummelshine of Maryland, captain and center; Morris of New- Jersey, right forward; Song of Ohio, left forward; Casey of Massachusetts, left guard; Harrington of Massachusetts, right guard. The manager was H. L. Rob- inson of Maryland. Mr. Hummelshine, the captain, has won much distinction, as a goal thrower. The basketball team regrets that they did not have their last year star player, Mr. McTyre, with them this year. While his loss was keenly felt, we can see that during the last year the team has reached such a point of devel- opment that even this change would cause no permanent setback and we sincerely hope and believe that next year will see us pressing on to victory. In addition to basketball we have men in our midst who are e.xperts in other branches of athletics: Parker F. Slocomb holds the record for high jump, having cleared the bar at 5 feet IH inches. Mr. Tray wick known as the Sheriff holds the record for the quarter-mile run, doing the distance in the fast time of 51i seconds. Mr. Traywick is contemplating asking the faculty to appropriate ten thousand dollars with which he expects to build a thoroughly ecjuipped gymnasium and running track. It is also the earnest desire of several members of the College to form a gun club next year. Mr. Parks, who is such a lover of field shooting, will not return home to open a practice this year. He and Mr. Stick will begin to organize this club at the beginning of next October. These hunters bold took a trip up to Glen- ville, Pennsylvania, last Thanksgiving Day and returned the following morning with two alligators and four brown bears. One of the bears is stuffed and Mr. Parks , expects to present it to the college to be p ' aced in the museum. The alligator was sent to the National Zoological Park in Washington. he Golden Rule ReUsed When in my callow boyhood days. My teacher at the school, Would oft times force me to repeat To him the golden rule. AVhich ran. do unto others as You would they do to you And so in my untutored soul, I thought the maxim true. For then I little knew the world, And thought all men were fair. Yet wondered at, as some grew rich, Their way of getting there. But later on in wisdom wise, I take another view. The latest up to date now is. Do others or they ' ll do you. BAL ' I.::tht: COLLEGl de: jal burgery. dofjiy - p. A. Wood. L. R. Atwood. F. H. Mitchell. F. SULL[V.iN. B. C D. S. Quartette Each collegiate year it is the desire of the faculty to obtain, if possible, enough talent among the students to organize a glee club. This year, through the efforts of Drs. Smith and W. G. Foster, enough men, with suitable voices, were chosen and it seemed as though their desires were to be fulfilled. Extra good talent was dis- played and rehearsals began at once. It was soon found, however, that talent was useless unless spirit accompanied it. Owing to the fact that spirit was lacking it was decided to abandon the idea of a glee club and form a quartette. This was accomplished with much more satisfaction, the members being as follows: Mr. Wood, 1st tenor, Mr. Sullivan; 2d tenor, Mr. Atwood, 1st bass; Mr. Mitchell. 2d bass. These men were more or less experienced. Mr. Atwood having been a mem- ber of a church choir in New York. Mr. Sullivan should be rated as being more of a soloist, having sung the leading role in Pinafore at a production given at Fall River. Messrs. Wood and Mitchell, both of Maine, have sung with differ- ent quartettes throughout their native state. At the college banquets, dances, smokers, etc., the quartette always took an active part and rendered such music as was appreciated by every one. As the college term is about to close and the boys are bidding their last farewell let the last song be Till We Meet Again. F. H. M., ' 07. T ze Old Oaken bucket (Parody.) How dear to my heart are the scenes at the College, Where fine contemplation is readUy shown. The lectures, the blackboard, the dear old bore Knowledge, And all other studies they expect us to know. McCleary will talk about the Microbes lurking, In the laboratory and elsewhere in school, And we like good students would always be working. Like aU good dental students busily with tools. To find out if such is the case to believe it, And if not appealing to do as we please. Ah! foolish were those who tried not to receive it. For they are now sick with the germs of disease. Our Dean he does lecture about nitrous oxide. Other things also, perhaps some Seniors knew, For Examination not to turn aside, But always to constantly keep them in view. We also were told in the lecture that morning, About water (without profanity) One student said that what caused water flowing UphiU, is a force called specific gravity. A Freshman named Morgan who comes from Maine, Told Dr. Simon a diamond is carbonate This sensible answer caused lots of pain, To the poor student as he looked at his mate. You see that tlie life which we spend at the College, Is not very weary if times we may tell. In our efforts to seek after Knowledge, We do enjoy most when the quizzes go on well.

A. has an offshoot at the B. C. D. S. which begun its successful existence about six years ago. It has labored under numerous disadvantages since its organization, but is now steadily increasing in membership and on the road to prosperity. We expect in the near future to have a room fitted up for its use in the College Building which will greatly assist us. The annual reception was given at the beginning of the session and was the means of bringing the new boys to a better understanding of the work. The class of Bible study was until recently held at the Central Building, we are now holding class in the boys ' rooms every Monday night. The charge for membership is only one half the regular fee. One dollar is the fee which entitles the students to the use of the games, library and star course of entertainments. The gymnasium fee is $3.75 extra. It is to be hoped the B. C. D. S. branch will continue to grow in membership for the associa- tion with the Y. M. C. A. cannot fail to be of benefit. Officers President ,1. I. Gaedner Secretary E. G. Click Treasiirer H. W. Snow W.

Morris, 76 A Freshman s Letter to His Father Mr Dear Father: I am going to tear myself away from my studies long enough to tell you about some of the annoying blunders a boy will invariably make during his Freshman year at college. It was very hard for me to distinguish between doctor, professor, demonstrator and student, but I was fortunate in making friends with a Junior by the name of Wheeler, who kindly said he would explain almost anything I wanted to know, if I would only ask him, so naturally I looked upon him as a friend indeed. One day he and I strolled into one of the laboratories and I became very much interested in a baldheaded gentleman who was explaining to some of the students his latest method of lining all rubber plates with hot air before delivering them to his patients, as it furnished a cushion which was very desirable to patients with tender mouths. I asked my friend if that was a demonstrator and he said no, his name was Cheney and he was not a demonstrator, but only thought he was. Several days later my friend asked me if I should like to go up to the dissecting room with him and I accepted his invitation. Well, Father! of all the gruesome sights that was the worst I ever saw, dead people lying all around us, and over on one side of the room was a tall doctor (as I thought) with a beard, and wearing a big pair of mitts like those the motormen wear up home and I asked my friend if that was not a doctor, and he said no, that he was a student by name of Winchester and that my mistake was a perfectly natural one, because the whiskers were enough to fool a post graduate much less a freshman. Then I began to realize that things are not always what they seem to be, and I made up my mind that I would not be fooled any more by bald heads or whiskers, but my embarassment was not to end there for a few weeks later I noticed two distinguished looking gentlemen with black side-burns who would come into the college stroll around and look wise so I con- cluded that they must be Professors. I hunted up Wheeler and asked him. He laughed like an idiot and said stung again and another lemon for yours, and I don ' t know what he meant. Later on he told me that the two were Fox McHugh and Soap Coble, both students. Well father as I have left my books about as long as I ought to I will close. Hoping to receive a small check in the near future, I am your affectionate son, Clarence. c l Valuable cAdvice Benoit and Lafiamme, Senior students with good heads, Are great admirers of their beds. They lay asleep for half the day, While their room-mate moves away To the college with great bliss, So that lectures he may not miss. Lafiamme, knowledge he does not want to hoard, Lost fear, he passed the Dental State Board. Being a great thing to his credit, It also adds to his merit. I would like to add a friendly advice. Because the bed it will entice. Great thought to mope all day. While precious hours glide away. And examinations stare us in the face. In this great and solitary place. These things you will comprehend, Hence do a favor for a friend By getting up early and being on time. This will therefore end the rhyme. When you think that I am just, And that study we always must; Therefore don ' t lay in bed as though half dead While the morning glides o ' er your head. J. R. L. 78 The cMorning (After A gilded mirror, a polished bar, With myriads of glasses, and straws in a jar. And a kind young man all dressed in white, Was my recollection of last night. The streets were narrow and far too long. The gutters were sloppy and policemen strong And the slamming doors of a sea-going hack. Was my recollection of getting back. The steps were slippery and hard to climb But I rested after, as I had nothing but time. An awkward keyhole and a misplaced chair, Informed the folks that I was there. A heated interior, a revolving bed, A sea-sick man with a hell of a head, And whisky, beer and booze galore, Were introduced to the bed-room floor. And in the morning came the bags of ice. So necessary to the life of vice; And when they had soothed my aching brain, Did I swear off? No, I got soused again. J. B. L. Jr. Hotel Rules for Students 1 The elevator has been running in this hotel for three 3 ' ears and must now be about 11,987 miles away. Those who walk down stairs when they don ' t feel like it do so at their own risk. 2 If the bell in your room is out of order, ring the towel. 3 Anyone wishing to take a drive after dinner can repair to the woodshed and drive nails. 4 Guests who desire to have the nightmare will find the harness in the refrige- rator. 5 Any guest who thinks his bill exhorbitant may argue the matter with the bull terrier in the back yard. He is kept hungry for that purpose. 6 In case of fire, jump out of the window and turn to the left. 7 There are three departments — upstairs, downstairs and outdoors. Out- doors is the cheapest. 8 To prevent guests from carrying fruit from the table we will have no fruit. 9 If the sun shines in your room too feverishly, notifj ' the clerk and he will move the sun to the other side of the house. 10 When bride and groom appear at dinner for the first time nobody must refer to them as tablespoons, under penalty of 60c and ten years in jail. 11 If the bellboy doesn ' t come when you call, run downstairs and report the matter. The exercise will do you good. Besides this is the bellboy ' s day off. 12 The motto of this hotel is Eat, drink, and be merry when your bill is pre- sented, but don ' t get gay. E. B. K. 80 In Ldhing cMemory of Donahue ' s cMoustache Doaohue, while trying to cut a dash, Was advised to raise a moustache. Having endeavored with great-pain, ' Till all his efforts seemed in vain, When travelling unexpectedly by train, Met a friend whose name He is not at leisure to divulge. The reason why you must indulge. His friend ' s advice was very simple, ' Tis also used for removing pimples. Make an unguent of cantharides; Then add molasses candies. This will greatly enhance the flavor, Being a great point in its favor, As a blended invigorator. Stir it gently after adding glycerine; Morn and eve ' rub in and look severe: The outcome will be magical. God bless the art Pharmaceutical. Now Donohue on his superatum Labatum, has a growth ultimatum. Tonsorialists pay homage to, As do also the well to do. (Down to the scoundrel of a cad) This magician of the Tonsorial fad. The ladies are running like diplomats With their dogs, also cats. To be doctored for falling hair. Heedless of all other affairs. Not being satisfied with cats, and pets. They also bring rugs, and carpets. Therefore. I wish to draw the line As Donohue ' s progress is not fine. When you take into consideration. What a lot of botheration. It is to doctor rugs and carpets. To say nothing of other pup]iets. Before I draw the final dash Congratulate Donohue on his moustaclie. Ax Observing Fkeshman A Letter of Good Advice that Freshman Fischer Receil?ed from an Old Friend My Dear Henry: Yours of August something at hand. Commenting on your information that you have passed the entrance exams, of the B. C. D. S. without even throwing yourself into a state of cerebella exhaustion allow me to chirp that the Little God of Good Luck placed a red chalk mark on the date of your birth. Talk about the realization of the devil ' s dreams: If the longwhiskered think pushers who hammer out the entrance exams to this brainfoundry isn ' t one of them, then I ' m a woggle bug. I am glad you decided to take my advice and picked out the B. C. D. S. as the place to grow your wisdom teeth. It is the place for you. Not that I am the fellow to say whether this is the only college or that it is not a good place to harbor a bunch of anarchists but I will say that it is as good an aperient spring in which to bathe a calf with cerebrum indigestion as one can find. Please may I play, papa? You are about to enter college and I am going to give you a little good advice on how to behave yourself when you enter. Don ' t throw a blackcloth over what I have to say but listen to a man who has been through the mill. I came here floating on a little white cloud. I, was one of the seven wonders and wanted everybody to know it. It was all very, very sad. I found that the parachute didn ' t always work and I came down to earth with a dull sicken- ing thud. Now, you play the wise boy. Don ' t open your college career by telling what a great hit you made in the Waterbury High School for as sure as you do your chances for making good will greatly resemble the chances that a snowball would have for existence which persisted in wandering along the banks of the river Styx. Just assume the attitude of I ' d like to know you fellows but I ' m only a poor helpless Freshie and get you ' ll by. We all admire the man with the shiny coat who wears a pair of pants the color of a frog pond after a dry spell. He is the m an who burns the midnight oil, eats grapenuts and refuses to roll cigarettes during chapel prayers, and is destined to set the world on fire. We may be glad to get a chance to shake him by the hand in the course of a few years or so. But the man who wears a smiling face and keeps himself looking well has the best chance of making good here and its here where you ' ll be for the next three years. I wasn ' t put wise to this and I was the foolish youth that stubbed my toe on the brink of indifference to such things and took a tumbling header into the bowels of insig- nificance, while other fellows who did the above were hitting the trail for Get By .Junction. All this advice in a nutshell reads like this — keep your mouth shut and your face smiling. Yours ' till Niagara Falls, .John Hexry McNutts. 82 Here and here Suppose the fish don ' t bite at fust, What be yew going tur dew? Chuck down yewr pole, throw out your bait, An ' say yewr fishing ' s threw? Uf course yew haint, yew ' re goin tur fish An fish, an fish an wait Until you ' re ketched yew ' re basket full And used up yew ' re bait. Suppose success don ' t come at fust.

One rode a bike and danced and sung. And like a sailor rowed; A Sunday school the other taught, Or quiet prayed or sewed. The ' ' bikey girl she bi ' oke her leg — ' Twas amputated, too Her friend took sick and knew she ' d die. So pondered what to do. Above, with wings, I ' ll need no legs. So I ' ll give her one of mine; The girls and surgeons all agree. The sphcing turned out fine. The good girl died, her leg was left, Her friend had it in tow, ' Twas ' ' catching on in real good shape, But grafted legs are slow. The surgeons smiled and called the job A scientific spree; The girl who longed for more good spins Was happy as could be. She soon got well, took out her bike. And then her sorrow learned. That leg refused to take a part In the joys for which she yearned. ' Twould go to church, but bike or dance It wouldn ' t move a peg; She moans her fate, the naughty girl, Who has an angel ' s leg.

It is a well known fact that Frost and Heck think the rugae of the mouth concave, instead of convex as hereto- fore. Prof. Grieves to Cheney (who is look- ing through his notes) — If you can ' t find it, give the other fellow a chance. Twenty-three means skidoo; two forty-five means, come in_. the water is fine. For further information, see Dutch Forsythe. Prof. Simon — Give the two grand divisions of matter? Freshman Pratt — Liqiuds and pow- der.

If you came back to college your Senior year like Schwartz did, and gave your trunk check to an expressman, as Schwartz did, and also gave the express- man ($0.50) like Schwartz did, and neglected getting the expressman ' s number like Schwartz did, and lost your trunk and ($0.50) like Schwartz did, would you swear like Schwartz did? Little words vmfitly spoken Of slang, or worse — of swear, Will never mend a plate that ' s broken Or put a new one there. M. A. B. Wheeler — You ' re off, man, there are ' nt any such states in the whole city of Baltimore. You better go look up your arithmetic. Conroy at the boarding house table (after a few days ' study in the cliemical laboratory), wanting the vinegar and desiring to express himself technically said, Say, boys, please pass me the H, SO.. your Wheeler — Stick, where brotlier now? Stick — Either in Cincinapolis or Pennsyltucky. Juniors Sullivan and Crowley were returning home for the Xmas holidays and occupying two seats on the train, when a baldheaded man entered and after inquiring if the seat along with Crowley was occupied and being an- swered negatively he sat down and removed his hat. This gave Sullivan a chance to anatomicallv express him- self. Sullivan began with saying: Crowley did you notice that epicranial eponeu- rosis and Crowley came back with what a fine superior curved line, etc. 300 The baldhead gentleman remained apparently unconscious of these re- marks, but finally turned to Crowley and asked if he was a medical student. Crowley replied no. Dental; and as the conversation progressed he was made aware that our baldheaded friend was a prominent M.D. of New Haven. A moral might be taken from the above — for instance, it is always as well to know whose head vou are knocking.

This same student looked at the check and read, Good for one beer at O ' Reilly ' s. He had forgotten to cash in before he left home, and thought he was still at O ' Reilly ' s. He then telegraphed for his trunk, which when: finally landed with a C.O.D. tag of $8.40. His mind has vastly improved since then, and he can now tell the difference between sugar-cane and a molar tooth, also the difference between a trunk and a free drink check. A Friend. V ,x Vv e- vww -vx C f Yvb et ' C Dr. Grieves (in Lecture Hall) — We have among.st us this morning one of the metazoa who has at last ceased to hibernate — Webb is here. Most of the Seniors are in favor of Dr. Hoffmeister ' s method of obtaining gold scraps. Ask our absent-minded Marmande about the student who failed to have his trunk checked from New Orleans Dr. Hoffmeister — How would you treated an intoxicated patient? Flynn — Call a policeman. Boarding House Etiquette. See that the napkin is tucked well under the chin. It saves laundry bills. Not more than six inches of knife in the mouth is permissible. Don ' t be a sword swallower. To eat below the load line is bad manners. Remember freight cars have their limit. If a dish is passed to you for which you do not care place it on the floor for the cat. The cat may not be so par- ticular. Grasp the knife and fork firmly. What nonsense for a strong person to try to appear delicate at the table. Under no circumstances should the napkin be used as a tooth brush. Don ' t cheat at the talsle. Holding out a hard-boiled egg or a sandwich to take to your room is the height of im- proper etiquette. Don ' t ask for water; there is a spring in you your watch. The fork is not a toothpick. Use the leg of the table. If you are in j ' our childhood use a spoon. Always sit away from the table about a foot, so the rats can get what you miss. If you have a chew of tobacco hide it in Stun ' s duct. Never frown on the sausage for he might bite you. If you wish to sneeze leave the table and excuse yourself when you come back. Never grumble about the food. If you don ' t like to eat it there take it to your room, you ' re are paying for it. If you wish to rest your feet place them on the chair across from you. Never take the butter chips to play poker with. Its breaking the seventh commandment. Never eat the pie and leave the crust; eat the crust and leave the pie. Don ' t use the pepper for snuff. It is bad manners to talk while eat- ing, for you might swallow it and there may be too much hot air; it would burn your stomach. If you discover anything wrong with your food, it is wrong to tell any- one, for the other boarders might go away hungry. If you intend to change always give notice of two weel s. J. M. C. ' 08. It isn ' t often Childs gets muddled but it did look bad to see him holding a coat for a ladv with the wrong side out It ' s funny ' how Benoit connects with orchestra seats when going to the theatre alone, but it must be so as he always returns with the proper coupon. Once, however, he must have gotten things a bit twisted, for he had coupons for the Auditorium and said he had been to the Maryland. Moral — You want to look carefully at what you find on the street — things are not al- ways what you expect. Cjh sv, ' SgAuv( . o-u V , .t V When Cheney Needed Smelling Salts. Cheney with three companions, all of whom spoke French, were dining at the Cremo Lunchroom. Cheney was bent on making his usual (good impress- ion with the ladies?) and knowing the waitress was French, warned the boys he would act as though ignorant of what was being said and to wait and see the fun he would have with the maid. The meal was ordered all speak- ing French, except Cheney, who was doing the goo-goo act at the waitress, making fine use of his wonderful baby blue eyes and seemingly wondering at all that was being said, eventually or- dering his meal in English. The wait- ress returning with the order began talking in French, when Cheney came in with What ' s that, German or Dutch Apparently something had gone wrong with Cheney ' s conquest for the maid replied in French: What ' s the matter with that baldheaded fool, I ' m getting sick of him? Wanted. — Will pay a reasonable sum to any one furnishing me with ready wit.

Donohue still believes in the homeo- pathic dose of tr. Digitalis J-i m. while Flynn thinks about 1 gr. of strychnine is the proper dose.  .Ao.v ik hv i, ' 6 voV It ' s hard to believe, but a fact, nevertheless, Cheney wished to remove a pulp. He sealed a cocaine adrenalin tablet in the cavity and said he guessed it would be all right in twenty-four hours. (Freshmen please note.) Dentist Cupid is a casuist, A mystic and a cabalist, Can find lurking through surprise And interpret his device? Ask Miss Goetz, Freshn .an — We were surprised to see such a vast difference in some of the operating cards, especially Benoit ' s which read something like this: You had better work a darn sight more than you have or you never will get your card. Prof. Simon — Mr. Morgan, name some carbonate? Morgan — Diamond carbonate. Wheeler — I can ' t do much, but I ' ll do what I can. From the Extracting Room. Childs — Say, Cheney, Dr. Foster says he has a patient for you and sent me to relieve you. Cheney — (as he grabs his case) All- right, here ' s the list; it ' s up to Fresh- man Morgan to pull the little girl ' s tooth. Childs (as Cheney exits) — Which tooth is it, Cheney; lower sixth year temporary molar? Dr. McCIeary — Mr. Boozer, how can you differentiate at a glance the differ- ence between the cervical vertebra and the others? Boozer — By the cervical vertebra having facets for the ribs. Dr. McCIeary — Mr. Lowry, what makes you say that of these two bones of the forearm, this one is the radius? Lowry — Because you just said to Rice it was not the ulna. Pervis to the Dean — Mixed saliva is saliva mixed with some other food, Doctor. LIBRAR ' Sr 3ALT ' lvJ0RE COLLEGE OF DENTAL SURGERY. Dr. Finney — Why do you try den- ture in the mouth after waxing up, and not depend entirely on the bite? Benoit — To get the correct impress- sion. Dr. Finney — I suppose you mean correct expression. Freshmen. When you see a ruben Freshman, Looking impudent and green, Standing round the college entrance Just on purpose to be seen, Think how soon he ' d be dictating, To the wise ones right and left, If it were not for the Juniors Who have got him bluffed to death. Porter. McCormick has things coming liis way — he had a nightmare one night and made a leap out of bed carrying clothes and all with him and making a noise that nearly brought the police. He said Miss Goetz had pushed a freight car over him and he just saw it coming in time. Wh.at Some of Us Would Like to Know. Where Cheney get his ties? Why he always saves his El Toro cigar butts until Dr. Grieves begins to tell about the Protozoa? Prof. Smith (during lecture) — You will find French ladies very emotional. Dr. Laflamme will bear me out in this. Will you not, Doctor? Laflamme (Senior) — Yes, Doctor. I have always found them so.

Columbia, Cord Suspension, All Cord Engines utilize tlie best form of power — electricity. They adapt that power more perfectly to the dentist ' s needs than any other dental engines. They are made of better material, on better plans, in a better manner than any other electric dental engines. The} ' do prompt tnd efficient service year after year with no breakdowns and little wear. They are under better control than any other electric dental engines. The method of suspension is unecjualed for beauty, for conve- nience and for the wide range of movement it permits. Imperial Columbia Dental Chairs are the finest dental chairs ever produced. The Hfting mechanism is similar to that used on Favorite Columbia Chairs, which is admittedly the finest hfting mechanism for dental chaiis ever devised. When the back and headrest have been ad,justed for a patient, they retain their proper rela- tions to that patient, however the chair back may be raised or lowered. This is a new feature of great value and conve- nience and permits easy and simple manipulation of the chair in case of need. The upholstered back is in two parts and forms, when opened, a handsome and convenient child ' s chair. For beauty of design, excellence of construction and smooth- ness of action, this chair is unequaled. .ftli. lid iiiliilK Catalogue.
