 Tt is pleasure to be together on an occasion when good will and cordiali- ty are beamng from every face and every
 heart is beating with loyalty to one cause

 pleasure to a traveller to have arrived at the end of his journey, but If he has journeyed faithfully every day and his
 companions have beea consenial loyal and true, his first thought on turning his mind back over the travelled way is one
 of pleasant regret that so agreeable a stage of life's journey is past

 fitness and prosperity; it may be that
 we shall all prove to be strong men. worthy of our training, and fight a good hght until the end; but matter what the conquests. no matter what the joys of fulfilled ambition, when the end of
 life draws near and look back with reminiscent minds over the peculiar incl dents that have made our lives our own, distinct from the lives of other men, the period that will warm our shriveling
 hearts most genially will be the four
 golden years that we were associated
 with the high minded noble men of the faculty of the Birmingham Dental college and her loyal, aspiring students.
 The graduating class tonight is proud
 to be the hosts of the men who have given their best to make us worthy use

 we are considered competent to tinker
 without fear of quizzes and dreaded blue
 pencils, all the unfortunate molars and grinders that come under our hands

 for we all will need Job to fortify us in the battles of life"
