Excerpt from The College Annual, 1903 My child, quoth she, a new profession, that of dentistry, has been inaugurated, a worthy son of its mother, Medicine, for whom I have labored long and faithfully: As my time is so completely occupied with the ever-increasing cares of my position, take thou charge of this weakling, and see to it that thou and thy progeny nurture it, encourage it, and when it has reached its majority, keep it ever young, strong and buoyant. Is it egotism that prompts me to declare that my efforts in behalf of dental education has resulted in placing it upon the elevated position which it at present occupies?
No, no, rather believe that it is the spirit of self. Assertion, which has remained dormant, patiently awaiting the proclamation of Truth, but which has be come so restive as to have found it necessary to give utterance to its imprisoned feelings. Ye learned men of science, ye wise-acres with all your ol-ogies and isms, your philosophies and theories, how much longer would I have had to linger in seclusion before your supposed omniscient powers would have dragged me forth as the real and only true imitative of healthful jollity? Do not offer any explanations, I pray you, for they are asvague and confounding, as unintelligible and unten able as your theories.
