Excerpt from Transactions of the National Dental Association at the Seventh Annual Session: Held at Asheville, N. C., July 28-31, 1903 Six years have elapsed since our National Dental Association was organized by the union of the American and Southern Dental Associations. Let us see if we have been faithful to our trust in the meantime. Have we been energetic, enthusiastic, and prolific? We have produced some most excellent scientific and literary work that cannot be summed up and set before you for your admiration and satisfaction, because such work is educational, and therefore invaluable on account of its far-reaching influence, but should we not have accomplished much more?
