shall be succeeded by the no less eXactlng
demands of an ever-advancing profession.
Diplomas do not mean, he explained, re-
lease from study. for there is no release
from study for the conscientious dentist at
any stage of his career. for the really sue
cessful member of the profession is forever
close student. Knowing. declared Dr.
Hugo. must be converted into doing. He
urged the graduates to avoid mere routine
and at all times to respect the rights OF
patients, which rights. he added, demand
constant progress on the part of the prac-
titioner. He said the dentist must expect
failures, but explained that the man who
studies his failures learns why they oc-
Cured. and. protiting from such investiga-
