BOOK I • WE PRESENT TO YOU.. To you fellows who are being graduated, Dr. J. Ben Robinson, the dean of our noble institution, has assigned a very important message. When it has been duly read and stamped into your memory, turn over a couple of pages and you will find the people who execute the routine buiness of running a dental school. You will also find here the staff of the MIRROR of 1937, which humbly bows and fondly hopes that its work will not have been in vain. BOOK II ■ ■■ •• ■ At this point you may as well take off your hat and coat and stay a while. As you turn the pages there will parade before you the inspiring faces of your classmates forever recorded that they may not escape your memory. Under their pictures you will find the colleges they came from, the degrees they possess, and some idea of what they think of one another. The lower classes are presented in groups, and memorable events from the history of each individ- ual class are contained herein. Read them; they are entertaining. BOOK III ■k -k -k If you would like to get another look at your favorite instructor, this is the place to find him. All you have to do is find the department in which he works, and there he is, very likely all dressed up in his blue-collared coat. The many departments are treated sep- arately and there are many action views of clinics and laboratories. Better take a look through some of these pictures, you may discover yourself somewhere. BOOK IV ■ ■ This division of the MIRROR is dedicated solely to organizations and is meant to record the benefits which have accrued to you as students who have been fortunate enough to become their active supporters. It contains pictures of the fraternal groups and their histories. Honorary societies and the purposes for which they stand are presented. BOOK V • • •■ • To supply a little flavor and thus make more digestible and sat- isfying the contents of this volume, the editor and his staff solemnly submit for your approval the following collection of cartoons, snap- shots, and jokes, many of which were collected in the mail box placed in the locker room. To those who so generously contributed, due credit is given. The ads which are intermingled with these features are of the highest caliber and merit your consideration.
