niie Klational Alumni Association of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery By JAS. H. FERGUSON, Jr., President HE Alumni Association of our Alma Mater which is national in scope, was organized at the College building in Baltimore on the evening of November 30th, 1921 by Norval H. Mc- Donald, Class of 1914, B. Lucien Brun, Class of 1905, and Jas. H. Ferguson, Jr., Class of 1915. The object of the Association shall be mutual helpfulness, goodfellowship, the inculcation of ethical ideals into our young men just beginning the practice of dentistry, the promulgation of those principles and ideals for which our Alma Mater stands, to keep in touch with the Alumni in states where there are graduates, to assist its members in all their laudable undertakings, and to untiringly exert its influence for the advancement of the dental profession and the progress of the school in methods of teaching, of practice and of jurisprudence. The code of ethics to be followed by our membership shall be that adopted by the National Dental Association. It has for several years been the concensus of opinion among the Alumni in various sections of the country that there should be an active and live wire National Association with headquarters in Baltimore. The Alumni of a College is its srongestt asset. Without their existence, assistance and reputation that they acquire any institution of learning would fall by the wayside. Johns Hopkins probably America ' s most famous University has acquired its world-wide reputation through its Alumni. Every member of the Senior Class upon graduation will be invited to join the Alumni Association the yearly dues of which are $2.00. This amount per member about covers the current expenses. I take this opportunity of appointing each man in the class of 1922 a committee of one to get the Alumni together in his city or state for the purpose of organizing a component Alumni Association. I urge this upon you and advise that you undertake it at the first state or local dental society meeting you attend. Get the co-operation and stamp of approval of the older Alumni but look to the more recent graduates for your organization work. Any of the officers of the National body will be glad to assist you in perfecting the plans of getting the boys together and the secretary has a mailing list of the Alumni in each state which is at your disposal. I am overwhelmingly optimistic of the future of the National Alumni Association and feel that it will be the avenue through which the graduates will be held in a closer union with the school and to each other. 24
