THE MIRROR AN ODE TO THE FACULTY AND GRADUATING CLASS OF THE Baltimore College of Dental Surgery Pur lliiir Coiiuiiciu-iiii; E.wi ' iiscs, May I ' tli, lyio. By CHAS. F. FORSHAW, M.D. D.D.S. (Hon. D.D.S. B.C. of D.S. July 41I1, 189!) of Bradfo-al. England. Read by W. W. PARKER, LecUner of Dental Jurispiudciice, B.C.D.S. HERE is greeting from Britain, To 5 ' ou across the seas ; She never is forgetful Of meetings such as these ; She grasps your hands full warmly, And this her message sends : We ' re proud of our Alma Mater, She has proved the best of Friends! VICTORIA Titled C.ART VRIGHT, She Titled fS.AUNDERS too. And dubbed them Knight most Courtly With Order of the Blue. Her Consort gave to |Roeinson As Mandate of His Will, The Albert Royal Warrant As tribute to his skill! And SRhtd, renowned in Scotia, Our Empress-Queen retained, And gave to him Appointment So long as e ' er She Reigned. These Three our Monarch Favored, And justly so I guess; But they prized — and prized as highly Your Degree of D.D.S.! And IJKOECKER. DiXOX, N.4SMYTH, Three Authors of repute. With quaint old H-AYES and |]Levison ' , Alas ! Now all are mute. Bui from the Realms Elysian, They greet you well, I trow ; And are present in the spirit Because they Loved you so ! 24

MIRROR Passing to Washington, we halt before the moninnent erected in honor of George Washington. When the base of this monument was completed the problem presented itself as to a suitable metal for the tip. Dr. C. C. Carroll demonstrated how easily aluminum could be melted and suggested that it be used. The huge casting of this metal tor this x ' vas accomplished b him, and stantls to the credit of one of our profession. Now we come to times more modern. Near Pittsburg lives a dentist, a Dr. Roberts, who some years ago invented an oil-well drill and discovered the fact that is known as oil-well shooting. Possibly this invention has changeil more fortunes and caused more financial comment than any other in recent years. We are now back in Chicago, and the first I shall mention here is Dv. d. . Black, who recently rcceiveil the highest honor ever bestowed upon a dentist in this country. I wisli I had the time to enumerate all of his achievements outside of dentistry. His studies concerning the atmospheric dis- turbances are scientifically recognized. t anv rate, you all know that his confibutions to both the physical and the literary field other than dental have been many and important. Although the committee of this society rec]uested me to lecture about m - own contributions to his- tory, I preferred to speak on the subject which I have. My work, History of .American i- ' .mblems, is the recognized authority of the Government. In 1904 the State Department at Washington requested me to design the new great seal of the Uniteil States. The University of Chicago as well as the city of Chicago make use of my drawings for seals. .Mv services to the public as director of tiie Chicago Public Library aix known. By the foregoing facts it is clearl) shown that dentists have kept pace with the times and have servetl side by side witli other broadminded men in contributing their share of advancement in the interests of humanitv.
