THE MIRROR that peace of mind, so necessary to contentment, (the greatest blessing of all) if their life work lacks in integrity. To be imbued with an honest purpose even though we may not find our reward great in material aspects, we are assured a mental calm, a content- ment, of all rewards, the greatest. an tlir iFarulttt: Honored and esteemed gentlemen of the faculty : You, who through our worthy dean, have this day conferred upon us the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery, will find each one of the class of 1908 filled with a spirit of loyalty to his Alma Mater. Her high reputation and proud position, as the oldest dental college in the world, attracted us from all parts of this and other countries, and it is our purpose to the best of of our endeavor throughout our professional lives, to add to her honor and fame. For what you have done for us while we were students in your classes we are deeply grateful; we thank you for your forbearance, kindness, af- fection, which you manifested toward each and all of us. We thank you for the patience, often tried and never exhausted, which saved you to us as friends through all the trials of our college life. Dear classmates: Tonight we assemble as a student body for the last time. The close bonds of intimacy and companionship are about to be severed. Into widely distant fields do the purpose of our lives call us; we scarcely can look to a future, when a roll call of the class of 1908 will not reveal an extended list of ab- sentees. Three years ago we assembled as strangers, but constant association with each other soon ripened into friendship and love; ' til now, as we look back upon our past career, the pranks, the joys, the trials, the mistakes, the achievements, all form a picture that, as time passes by, will in the mellowing light of distance be an unfailing source of pleasure. From now on we must separate to take our places in the world, to prac- tice the profession we all honor. We may have some failures at first, but to fail and profit in knowledge thereby, and by the exercise of patience, persistence and honesty of purpose, will finally lead to the highest place in our profession, and an honorable position in society. Let us always live true to the high standard inculcated by our Alma Mater, and demanded by the ethics of our profession, never forgetting the motto of our class, Suceedere Nostri Ambitio — our ambition is to succeed. Farewell.
