It is officially called the second unit of the Medical and Dental College Laboratories Building. Approximately six years ago this building was designed and funds were appropriated by the State of Illinois for its erection. Due to financial difficulties of the people of this state, the University thought it best to allow these funds to lapse, however, in order to leave this money for relief work in the State of Illinois. So for six years Dean Noyes and the faculty of the College of Dentistry waited, continuing to plan details of the new building and hoping that it would soori be possible to build it. Finally in 1935, with aid from the United States Government, actual building operations started. And two years later the building stood ready for occupancy. The following pages are filled with pictures and descriptions of the new quarters for the University of Illinois College of Dentistry and dis- cussions showing how the enlarged physical facilities will permit more efficient teaching and research. Included also are pictures of some of those men who have made the building possible. We are sorry we could not obtain pictures of all those men who have contributed to the growth and development of the College of Dentistry. We realize the best efforts of many men were given to the College. To all these men we give thanks. The new building stands on the corner of Polk and Wood Streets, 808 South Wood, directly connected with the Research Hospital and the Medical School. It is a red brick structure, trimmed with grey stone, nine stories high, with a tower extending on up to total fifteen floors. In the basement are machine shops, vulcanizing rooms and locker rooms for stu- dents. Dental Administration occupies the first floor. The second, third and part of the fourth floor are filled with laboratories for the Medical School. On the fourth floor also is the Oral Surgery Department. The Admitting Room, x-ray and photograph, and illustration studios occupy the fifth floor. The sixth floor houses the Crown and Bridge Depart- ment; seventh floor, Denture; eighth, Therapeutics and Dental Pathology ; ninth, Operative Department, Dental, Supply Room and Faculty Lounge; tenth and eleventh floors, Histology; twelfth, Children's Clinic; thirteenth and fourteenth, Orthodontia; on the fifteenth floor is a storage space, the elevator machinery and a 5000 gallon tank for holding city water. Three elevators connect these floors, two passenger elevators and one service elevator. The Physical Plant Department tells us the building has a cubical content of approximately 110,000 cubic feet, and cost, excluding all fixed and movable equipment, $1,500,000. All who have seen it remark that it is a beautiful building, well designed and constructed and adequate in every respect to house the best dental college in the country. It is the editors' hope that these pictures that follow will record the excellence of the University of Illinois College of Dentistry's new quarters, and will in- crease the pride and loyalty of every alumnus!

James. When acquainted with conditions in dental education he quickly decided that the Uni- versity of Illinois should assume its share of the responsibility in bringing about a higher order. The Board of Trustees promptly accepted his recommendation and the College of Dentistry was created as an organic department of the University. For the existence and high quality of the educational standards of the College, the faculty, alumni and everyone interested in dental education will forever remain in debt to President James. For the new building and what it will mean 'to dental educa- tion everywhere we are obligated to Dean Noyes. It is the product of a fine vision and rare courage. The high principles and academic standards guaranteed at the inaugural of the College in 1913 have been kept fresh and vital. Many outmoded teaching methods have been replaced by a modern system. With better physical facilities the College will expand in research and graduate instruction. This is a fitting time for all of us to renew our vows and make a new pledge of faith in the efficacy of better training.

In its earliest incarnation the College of Dentistry was a proprietary school, the Columbian Dental College, founded in 1892, which in 1898 prac- tically expired but was revived in the same year by a part of its faculty and some members of the staff of another proprietary school which had just passed out of existence. (This was a period of high birth and death rates in dental schools; twenty-eight were char- tered in Illinois between 1883 and 1902; by 1905, twenty-two were no more.) The new institution, housed on Quincy Street across from the Great Northern Hotel, was called the Illinois School of Dentistry, but it, too, was a proprie- tary school and had no connection with the University of Illinois. In 1901, an entirely nominal relation with the University was established and the school was moved from its second home, the Yukon building at the corner of Van Buren and Clark Streets, to 1838 West Harrison Street where it remained for thirty-six years. 6^' c «*m MettSnonrfallnit This building, erected in 1881 at the corner of Harrison and Honore Streets for the College of Phy sicians and Surgeons, had just been vacated by that school which had moved into the building immed- iately on the north. The College of Physicians and Surgeons eventually became the University of Illinois College of Medicine, but in 1901 it was a proprietary school of medicine — that is, it was a stock company, affiliated in name only with the University of Illinois as was the School of Dentistry, although the affilia- tion of the latter was through the College of Medi- cine, the stockholders of which purchased most of the stock in the dental school. This they did in the hope that the income from the dental infirmary and from tuition would not only cover the expense of the den- tal school, but would also help to support the medical college. Although neither of the colleges was finan- ced by state appropriations as were the departments of the University at Urbana, the name of the dental school became the School of Dentistry, University of Illinois. (In 1905 the School of Dentistry became the College of Dentistry, but this did not indicate a change of status.) Before the dental school could be moved into its new building, it was necessary to make some building changes. While these were in progress, the building received its first baptism of fire; it was struck by lightning, and the roof and the top story entirely Continued on Paqe Seventy-four ) j H <^ e 1 I * , t ^ • ■■« ■■ — _ L * — ? O r n T3 n'| (/pehdUire JUepaXbtteuL by DR. SUMPTER ARNIM THE advan- tages of the new building are most easily seen when it is compared with the old. With this thought in mind the operative department has collected a few pictures of the old infirmary in operation and during the process of demolition; to these has been added a group of the new infirmary. The majority of you read- ing these pages will look upon the pictures taken of the infirmary as personal reminders of a part of your life that has ceased to exist except in memory. In order to dedicate the new, the old must be buried. Fortunately we could enter only those parts of the operative department that were no longer de- sirable. The fine spirit that has grown with the Uni- versity through the years was transported from the old building to the new. It is only reasonable to as- sume that, given proper care, it will flourish in the new quarters equally as well as it did in the old. The alumni would have enjoyed seeing the accumulation of years of operative work being stowed away in order that everything might be moved to the new quarters. There were teeth carved from ivory, bone, chalk and wax; dental instruments fashioned by stu- dents, and technique teeth of all fashions containing fillings of various types. The progress of teaching in operative dentistry was mirrored by the relics that occupied unused drawers and cupboards. Instead of a crowded, dusty noisy operating floor covering the better part of the top of the old build- ing, each student now has an individualized unit in which he and his patient have adequate privacy. This unit is situated in a large, well ventilated room. The forced ventilation in the new quarters contains a minimum amount of Chicago's finest coal dust. A maximum amount of sunlight floods the operating space from the large windows directly in front of each chair. There are only nineteen units in the operative Infirmary at the present time, although there are provisions for forty when they are needed. Instead of the small casting room, there is now a large one. The entire Infirmary is floored with rub- ber tile and the ceilings are of sound-proof material. The laboratory for dental anatomy and operative technic is beautifully equipped and exceptionally well lighted. The dentechs that are now used in operative technique are the results of years of research on the part of Dr. R. K. Baxter. They embody many im- provements over the old types and are a real contri- bution to the study of operative dentistry. There are at present six members of the operative staff, namely: Dr. R. K. Baxter, Dr. C. M. Buckman, Dr. Margot Ulloa, Dr. Frank C. Besic, Dr. Dewey D. Jackson and Dr. Sumter S. Arnim. Dr. Baxter is in charge of operative technique, Dr. Buckman dental anatomy and all members of the staff take part in the clinical teaching. The requirements for graduation have been altered slightly. Instead of finishing a Page Thirty-si New Unit :ertain number of each type of operation, the stu- dents are required to pass a series of practical exam- nations. In addition to these practical tests of the ndividuals' ability he is expected to spend the amount jf time alloted in the curriculum for infirmary on the ■loor. Those students taking elective work in oper- ative have a well equipped and commodious labor- atory. A separate clinic for graduate students occupies he northeast corner of the ninth floor. We would ike to have the alumni and other graduates avail ■hemselves of the facilities of these rooms. They are jquipped for operative dentistry and research in this ^articular subject. There is also a ceramic laboratory available to students taking their elective work in this ;pecialty and to graduates interested in developing their skill in the handling of porcelain inlays. Material is being assembled to equip a research aboratory for this department. It is our purpose to nclude in the work of this department a definite nvestigative program bearing upon those factors in New Cage Old Cage the fundamental sciences that have a practical appli- cation to the practice of operative dentistry. The high ideals and the unselfish cooperation of the alumni have played a large part in the develop- ment not only of the new building but in the dental school as a whole. We are grateful for this assis- tance. It is our wish that it may continue and grow in volume in the future. i Operative Technic Laboratory Old Operative Office- Old Infirmary Page Thiity-seven Dr. G. Walter Dittmar Head of Prosthetic Department Graduate Clinic, Crown and Bridge Department THE entire sixth floor of the new dentai building is devoted to the department of Crown and Bridge. Here provision has been made for the teaching of this subject both to undergraduate and graduate students. Two large clinics each capable of accommodating seventeen units are at the disposal of the juniors and seniors. The north clinic is at present fully equipped with the most modern dental units yet developed. Between the two clinics are located the casting room and the practical prosthetic laboratory. Such an ar- rangement makes it very convenient for those students working on patients. At the east end of the clinics are located the sterilizers and the supply room with a nurse in charge of both. At rhe last end of the north clinic is the dental porcelain room. This is set aside for those students who may be baking porcelain jacket crowns or bridge pontics. A special ventilating arrangement avoids the necessity of opening windows in this room; the windows are of double construction eliminating the possiblity of dust and dirt so detrimental to ceramics. Here also may be found work benches and porcelain furnaces housed in specially designed units which auto- matically control the electrical supply. A separate clinic and prosthetic laboratory is set aside for those dentists desiring to do graduate work in ceramics or crown and bridge prosthesis. There are accommodations for four graduate students, with com- plete clinical and laboratory facilities. Although the graduate headquarters are separated from the under- graduate clinics, yet they are close enough to any unusual teaching material which may be found in the latter clinics. Convenient arrangement for seminar discussions and original research in ceramics or bridge prosthesis have also been provided. Adjacent to the graduate section is the departmental office and group demonstration room. This arrangement permits spec- ial demonstrations on patients to both the graduate or undergraduate students. A prosthetic laboratory accommodating forty stu- dents faces the east exposure. This room lacks noth- ing in the way of equipment or conveniences and we hope that every alumnus will pay it a call on his next visit to the building. During the past few years an increased interest has been manifested in dental materials. This is a comparatively new field in dental education but one which is growing in importance. A course in dental materials and a study of their physical phenomena has been given at our school to the sophomores dur- ing the past two years. An elective has also been available to juniors and seniors. The new building has a special room set aside for this purpose. Here is kept the testing apparatus, microscopes, etc. which enable the students to get a fundamental grasp of the subject. This laboratory is also available to our alumni who may desire to do some investigation on dental materials. Thirty eight Technic Laboratory Crown and Bridge Clinic Porcelain Furnace Units In addition to a large amphitheatre which accom- modates a hundred students, there is also on this floo^ a technician room. This room is used at present by the deoartmental technician; it is also used by the members of the staff in the study and development of processes and technics related to the work of the department. Later it is the purpose of the depart- ment to develop a year's course for the training of dental technicians. There are accommodations for six men in this completely equipped laboratory. Our alumni may be interested in the present per- sonnel of the department. Dr. G. Walter Dittmar, is still the "daddy" of the prosthetic department. When not in denture, we find his genial personality in the crown and bridge department. We feel that the student body, the institution and particularly the staff is fortunate in having him as the head of the Pros- thetic Department. The other members in Crown and Dr. Stanley Tylman Head of Crown and Bridge Department Bridge are Dr. Stanley D. Tylman, Professor of Crown and Bridge, and Drs. F. N. Bazola, W. J. Bray, R. D. Curtis, R. A. Larson and C. Siniarski. The department holds semi-monthly staff meetings for the study and discussion of literature and problems relating to its particular work. Interested alumni are welcome to sit in with us. In conclusion it must be said that words cannot describe the beauty of the building nor the teaching facilities and equipment available; you must come and see it yourself. Page Thirty-nine BY J. H. KELLOGG, D.D.S. I THE Denture Department is placed on the seventh floor. As you leave the elevator the technic labor- atories and the Administration office are at the right, and at the left the technicians' laboratory, with the infirmary at the end of the corridor. The undergrad- uate infirmary is equipped with the units uniform with those of the other clinical departments, which are illustrated elsewhere. In addition to this undergrad- uate infirmary and at the East end of it, is a small post-graduate infirmary with a laboratory in connec- tion for the use of post-graduate students and the staff. Here are conducted cases, which the staff members utilize for study purposes and which are not assigned to an undergraduate student. Each member of the staff usually is carrying one or more such cases, and the staff has organized itself into something like a study club to contribute to its development. This work carried on by the departmental staff permits the study of unusual and especially difficult cases which present conditions, the treatment of which may be utilized in perfecting and originating technics for the various clinical procedures. It is by means of this experimental work the present technical procedures which are now taught were developed, and by this means we hope to be able to show findings Dr. Kubacki Head Partial Denture Department which may be beneficial to the profession in general. The practical laboratory for the infirmary occu- pies the center of the undergraduate infirmary room, and the benches are so arranged that a student who is doing laboratory work for the Denture Department has his Prosthetic instruments and operating case in the bench at his right hand, thus keeping the table clear. Miss Adelaide Talbot is in charge of the Nurse's Supply Room and issues supplies to the students. She also has charge of the records and appointments, and the students are responsible to her for the systematic cleanliness of operating cases and care of the units. The Technician's Room is utilized for curing and finishing all cases made from the newer resinous base materials. Technic courses do not include the hand- ling of this material; therefore, the third and fourth year students who utilize these materials for practical cases are given a special course in curing and finish- ing these materials in connectoin with their practical cases. This work is in charge of Miss Eleanor Schlosser, who has developed this division of the Department. It is thru Miss Schlosser's experimental efforts that we have been able to develop a technic for handling some of the newer resinous base mater- ials which had proved to be unsuccessful when handled by the original technic prescribed by the manufac- turers. Assisting Miss Schlosser is Miss Lauretta Maloney, and with the added facilities of our new building and with the steady growth of the student body, it is planned to employ eventually a greater number of technicians who will not only supervise the handling of resinous base materials, but will, by performing the technical part of denture construction, make it possible for each student to serve a greater number Continued on Page Seventy-three flit* Department it>» A>s>iif»y}imm*:t BYWAL1 ?Wll JAM DAL SC M.D. A PHASE of present day student life which is probably little known to most of the alumni is the Student's Health Service. This department was established in 1930 to take care of the needs of den- tal, medical and pharmacy students. The work of the Health Service covers the follow- ing activities; 1. Examination of all incoming freshmen with the object of detecting and recording any physical de- fects. 2. The care and treatment of ailments occurring to students during the school year. 3. The vaccinating, testing and immunizing of those students who come in contact with contagious diseases. 4. Other activities to promote the health and welfare of the students and to prevent illness. In examining new students who enter as Freshmen, those who showed evident defects which might inter- fere with or handicap the pursuit of their studies were advised of the findings and urged to correct them. Many cases of dental disease, tonsillar dis- ease, weight disturbances, respiratory disturbances, impairment of vision, thyroid disease, skin lesions, or impairment of hearing were found and advice given and treatment instituted to remedy these conditions. Several cases of tuberculosis, diabetes, heart dis- ease and kidney disease have been discovered and proper advice and guidance in getting proper treat- ment were given, thus endeavoring to smooth the road to recovery. While the ideal toward which we should strive is a sound mind in a sound body, we cannot refuse admittance to students with evident defects, nor would it always be desirable to exclude the physically weak for there are some who have physical ailments and yet make excellent students and practitioners; and others who have a splendid physical equipment and yet lack the mental qualities necessary to a successful professional career. The purpose of Health Service is not to weed out the physically unfit but it endeavors to aid them by detecting and warning of early manifestations of dis- ease and by proper advice and guidance in the cor- rection of detrimental agencies, thus preventing illness and interruption of studies. When actual illness occurs, the Health Service en- deavors to smooth the path to recovery and hasten it. Hospital care is provided at the Research and Educational Hospital for students requiring hospital- ization when they are unable to secure it through pri- vate sources. Special attention has been given to the problem of tuberculosis in students. Most schools show a higher incidence of tuberculosis among their students than occurs in our University. Yet each year shows one or two cases in our group. Our experience indi- cates that although tuberculosis is encountered infre- quently among our students, when it does occur it be- comes manifest unexpectedly and with considerable severity and acuteness. If it does not eventually cause the death of the individual it is responsible for a long period of disability resulting in great cost of time and money and frequently wrecks a professional career. The Health Service is using tuberculin testing and chest x-rays as a measure for the prevention and early detection. In the past, the dental students have not used the facilities of the Health Service Department as much as the students of the medical school. Undoubtedly the closer location of the new dental building will afford an opporunity for the students to make more frequent use of its services. That the Health Service Office has established it- self as an important factor in student life is evidenced by the frequent and increasing number of calls for its services. Dr. Dalitsch Reading Results of Tuberculin Test Page Forty-one THE Department of Dental Pathology and Thera- peutics is located on the eighth floor of our new building. The wing of the floor which parallels Polk Street contains the undergraduate clinic for instruc- tion in root canal therapy and the treatment cf paro- dontal diseases. The Wood Street wing provides a lecture hall, a graduate clinic and laboratory, a room for keeping experimental animals, and office and lab- oratory space for the members of the department. The undergraduate clinic has been subdivided so that root canal treatments are performed in one clinic and prophylaxes and parodontal treatments are given in another. The ventilating system is so arranged that more air is forced into the root canal clinic than is withdrawn. Thus a slight increase in pressure is built up in this room which prevents outside air cur- rents from entering the room and lessens the possi- bility for air contamination of the operating field and instruments. At the present time, there are thirteen units and chairs in each clinic. The units are ar- ranged in single rows running the length of the rooms with each chair facing a window. The root canal clinic runs parallel to the parodon- tal and is separated from it by a series of rooms. These rooms are arranged in the following sequence as one enters the clinic — first, the record room, sec- ond, a departmental museum; third, an x-ray and physio-therapy room; fourth, the dispensing room; fifth, a demonstration room, and sixth, a student bac- teriological and pathological laboratory. In the record room are filed the case histories of all of the root canals treated in the clinic since 1912. Parodontal records are also kept here and provisions have been made for the filing of plaster casts of all parodontal patients. By keeping accurate plaster casts along with the case histories and treatment rec- ords of our pyorrhea patients and by following these patients over a period of years, the department hopes to obtain significant data on the etiology and treat- ment of this disease. A most helpful advantage of our new quarters over the old, is the modern x-ray unit and dark room which we have adjacent to the clinics. It is no lon- ger necessary to take a patient for an elevator ride to a different floor to obtain an x-ray of a wire meas- urement or a root filling. The pictures now are taken and developed by the students with a minimum of time and a maximum of convenience. The new dispensing room which replaces the old fourth floor Therapeutic office has a modern auto- clave, ample supply and storage cabinets and vitreo- lite topped dispensing tables. A dispensing window is provided for each clinic and from here all supplies, drugs, and sterile dressings are dispensed. Adjoining the dispensing room is a small demon- stration room equipped with a chair and dental unit. Instruction and demonstrations can be given to groups of ten students with the facilities provided. We be- lieve that this room will prove a definite aid in our teaching endeavors. The student laboratory contains microscope tables, staining sinks, an incubator, refrigerator and supply cabinets. With the new and improved equipment which this laboratory provides, the students will con- tinue to study smears, cultures, and tissue preparations obtained from clinical material. Our policy of cul- turing all root canals and securing negative cultures before filling is being continued. This room affords a fine opportunity to make correlations between fun- damental sciences and clinical procedures. The graduate clinic and laboratory occupy out- side corner of the building and extend along the Wood Street side. At the present time, it contains three units and chairs. The plumbing has been in- stalled to provide for two more units which will make a total of five. The bacteriological and pathological laboratory in conjunction with the clinics, while not yet completely equipped, provides facilities for study and investigation of the problems with which the de- partment is concerned directly, namely pulpal, peria- pical and parodontal lesions and dental caries. Ma- terial for study obtained from the clinic can be taken immediately into the laboratory for preparation. The laboratory of the departmental technician is adjoin- ing so that the technician can supervise and assist with the laboratory procedures. These facilities are available to alumni who are seriously interested in the graduate or post-graduate study of these problems and who have sufficient time to devote to them. The building provides much of the laboratory space needed for the members of the departmental staff to conduct their research problems. A room has been equipped in which to hold staff conferences. Here problems in teaching and research pertinent to the department will be discussed by the staff mem- bers at frequent intervals. A animal room now per- mits the housing and care of experimental animals under direct supervision by members of the depart- ment. We believe that this feature will prove to be a decided advantage in our animal investigations. The teaching responsibilities of the department Continued on Page c orry-four Page Forty-two s '°"'«o £ Paqe Forty-tluee DENTAL PATHOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS Continued from Page Forty-two have increased considerably since its birth in 1914. Prior to that time, the subjects of root canal and per- iodontal membrane therapy were taught by the de- partment of operative dentistry as they still are in many institutions. There was no definite course of instruction in root canal technic given until 1920. Then a part of the sophomore operative technic course was set aside for instruction in root canal in- strumentation and filling; the instruction was later given by members of the therapeutic staff. A short time later this teaching became organized as a defi- nite one semester course under the jurisdiction of the Therapeutic Department. At first the technic was taught by using extracted teeth mounted in modelling compound blocks which were held in the student's hand. Later, whenever it was possible, maxillae and mandiblae from cadavers were secured, prepared and given to students so that they could operate on the root canals under circumstances more closely ap- proaching those in the mouth. At the present time, the technic is being taught on a dentech which has been designed to hold natural teeth in the chair posi- tion. In this way, the student learns to operate in the root canal under conditions quite similar to those which he will find in the clinic. The fourth year lecture course in therapeutics has expanded so that in addition to the usual lectures, a weekly two-hour laboratory period has been estab- lished. Here the student is permitted to study micro- scopic sections of tissue demonstrating the patho- logical conditions that have been under discussion in the lectures. Through industry, foresight, and good fortune, the department has been able to build up a valuable collection of slides for teaching purposes. A study of the microscopic sections of the root end conditions of teeth for which we have a known history has done much to place the treatment of root canals on a rational basis. After viewing and reflecting on these sections, the student is better able to under- stand why the therapy should be based on biological reactions. There is also in our collection a group of slides showing the pathology of dental caries. About 1925, J. Leon Williams offered a prize to the dental school which would develop a set of microscopic slides to teach the pathology of this disease. Unfortunately this prize was not claimed which seems to indicate that no school had such a collection available. In 1932, we began the preparation of such material and now the department has a set of over 100 slides which we have found to be very useful for teaching the pathological processes of carious lesions. In addition to these courses and clinical instruc- tion given to third and fourth year students in the infirmary, the department is responsible for the third year courses in Materia Medica, Preventive Dentistry, Hygiene and Public Health. An elective course in Dental Pathology is also offered during the fourth year. The development of the undergraduate teaching program has been accompanied by the origin and development of graduate instruction in the depart- ment. In 1929, Dr. Blayney was appointed to the Graduate Faculty of the University which allowed the College of Dentistry to announce a graduate course in Dental Pathology and Therapeutics. Since then four Master of Science degrees have been conferred and there are four graduate students now enrolled in the department. The development of the department and the phys- ical equipment which it now possesses are largely the result of the careful and thoughtful planning of Dr. J. R. Blayney, now Director of the Zoller Memorial Dental Clinic at the University of Chi- cago. The department is sincerely grate- ful for the heritage which he has left. Our new quarters offer a challenge and a stimulus for us to seek improvement in our methods of teaching and to con- duct research of the caliber that our environment merits. Dr. J. R.

Page Foity-five ' **Hg OTTO FREDERICK KAMPMEIER, Ph. D, M. D. W YNGVE JORANSON, A.B.B.S., M.D. THE inclusion in the dental curriculum of a complete course in gross anatomy is a matter of compara- tively recent development. It is not long since dis- section in the dental course was limited to the head and neck with perhaps a superficial consideration of the thorax and abdomen. From the beginning the anatomist has been solidly behind the effort to widen the scope of the course, but it is well to remember that the initiation of this movement came not from his department. It came as a result of a series of epoch-making observations from the fields of clinical research and practice. One of the more important of these was the establishment of an etiological re- lationship between disease in various parts of the body to infection of the teeth. Another was the dis- covery that certain pathological entities of the teeth are due not to local disturbances, as was formerly believed, but to derangements in the general meta- bolism of the body. These and other considerations led to a revision in the older methods of dental prac- tice and to a change in the curriculum of dental schools to include not only a study of the mouth and its associated structures but the body as a whole. There are some, unfortunately, who even today discredit the importance of the course in anatomy in either its past or present scope. The boast is often heard that good operative work may be done with- out much knowledge of anatomy. It is not the kind of operative work but rather the amount of retention of anatomical facts which is questioned. In the fre- quent contact each day with important structures of the mouth, the anatomical facts of course and rela- tion are so deeply implanted in the memory of the dental surgeon, that they are relegated to the sub- conscious level. It is then a mental process and not the phenomenon of being able to operate without a knowledge of anatomy, which leads to an under- estimation of the role of anatomy in the planning and performance of operative procedures. This argument is cited for a purpose. The first year student, who is struggling with anatomy, upon holidays and week-ends often times contacts practi- tioners who, in their effort to encourage the begin- ner, will advise him to take anatomy less seriously. Such advice leads to a false sense of security, and it is certain that the practitioner fails to realize how much effort is necessary on the part of the depart- ment as well as the student to correct the miscon- ception so created. The course in gross anatomy, which is now pre- sented by Dr. Joranson and instructors and assistants (Drs. Fisch, Glassman, Gazda, and Broadbent), con- tinued throughout the whole first year. Each week two hours are devoted to lecture, demonstration and recitation, and two 3-hour periods to dissection. The best material obtainable is placed at the dis- posal of the dental student for dissection, and special tables are employed, as shown in the photograph of the laboratory, to preserve the specimens against dry- ing. Despite the fact that the classes have increased in number with each year, the department has made every effort to meet the requirements placed upon it. The objective has been to give the student the great- est amount of practical knowledge in human anatomy. Instructors, textbooks, atlases, and demonstrated specimens are only guides in the educational plan, and the greatest importance is attached to the stu- dent's own efforts toward interpretation and organ- ization of the observations made on the cadaver. Dexterity in dissection is emphasized in the hope that it may lead to a ready acquisition of skill in the clin- ical work. Thus at maturity, when the student is con- fronted with the patient in the dental chair he should be able to visualize the various structures of the body as component parts of a living, working mechanism. An anatomical teaching museum, now containing over 550 specimens — colored dissections, transverse sections of the entire human body, embryological, neurological, and gross anatomical models, injected and cleared specimens, corrosion preparations, roent- gen films, special osteological material, anthropolog- ical collections, anomalies, etc. — is always open to the student for additional guidance in his laboratory work, for supplementary observations, and for review. The exhibits have been prepared and arranged not only with regard to their special pedagogic value, but also with an eye toward esthetic considerations, in association with an historical background to give dignity and respect to the science they portray. The museum was begun in 1929 by Dr. Kampmeier and developed intensively as an individual effort until three years ago, since when Dr. Cooper, associate professor in Anatomy, has assisted him in this phase Page Forty-six MS &. w ^ V* v>° ( AO' ,\*« c of teaching and has given all of his spare time to its further growth. The first year student also attends an additional required course extending throughout the second sem- ester in a weekly two-hour session and devoted to the study of the nervous system. The laboratory work consists of the dissection of the human brain, and the examination of stained sections from different levels of the spinal cord and brain, with special emphasis on the position of nerve centers and the course of nerve tracts. The course is conducted by Dr. Zechel, Assistant professor of Anatomy, with the aid of as- sistants (Drs. Bergquist and Dyer). The department gives an elective course in Ad- vanced Anatomy which is open to fourth year dental students. The work, demanding a thorough dissection of the head and neck, occupies a four-hour period every week during one semester. Facilities for graduate work are offered to grad- uates from the College of Dentistry who are properly qualified and have fulfilled the necessary require- ments. There are two disciplines: Advanced Anat omy and Individual Research. The first is generally chosen as a minor, especially by those students whose major subject is Oral Surgery or Orthodontia. The second gives opportunity for individual study and in- Continued on Page Seventy-three tf**' B* *\o* V» fr* <* .1° «r n\* ****** \ TJ\ Page Forty-seven -m W^^Jnim^m*W T '9 1 m T ^g > m^m^W^^m w mw ■ — — - w w mm ^ » ^^J """" THE work in chemistry as presented in the College of Dentistry in 1913-14 consisted of courses in in- organic chemistry, qualitative analysis and metallurgy. The work was conducted in the Department of Phys- iology and Physiological Chemistry as organized in the College of Medicine. In 1917-18, the work was placed in a separate Department of Chemistry and Metallurgy in the College of Dentistry and Organic Chemistry and Physiological Chemistry were added to the curriculum. In 1922, inorganic chemistry was required for admission and in 1929 qualitative analy- sis was required for admission, finally in 1932, organic chemistry also became an admission requirement. The chemical laboratories in the old building at Honore and Congress Streets were poorly adapted for the purpose of teaching chemistry. The locker spaces were entirely too small to house the necessary appar- atus and the sinks supplied with only cold water were not at all adapted to the washing of apparatus. The working desk top allotted to each student was too small for the work to be conducted. Conditions were so bad that President James was willing to construct a laboratory building to house a new chemical labor- atory with modern facilities. It became evident that this would delay the ultimate construction of the new laboratory building on the ball park site and so the idea was given up. In the new Medical and Dental Laboratory Build- ing at the corner of Lincoln (Wolcott) and Polk Streets, the chemical laboratory is regarded by im- partial outside observers as one of the finest in the world. There is adequate space for housing student equipment. The desk tops, troughs, and sinks are made of alberene stone. The washing sinks are sup- plied with mixing faucets with hot and cold water which insure proper washing facilities. There is ade- quate working space for each student. Each working Steam Bath Room space is supplied with gas, compressed air, electric current and cold water. The Supply Room is located in the center of the laboratory and houses everything that is necessary for the conduct of the work in the laboratory. The laboratory is extremely well lighted, both by daylight and artificial light. The plumbing is arranged so that it is easily accessible. Rooms are equipped for the special operations in connection with the routine work of the laboratory. These rooms are the Steam Bath Room, the Kjeldahl Distillation Room, the Fume Room, and the Balance Room. The Grad- uate Laboratory has working space for twelve students and is equipped in the most modern fashion. In addi- tion to those outlets supplied on the undergraduate desks, vacuum and pressure steam are supplied at each working space. Most serious efforts have been made to give thorough fundamental training to the dental students in the department with particular emphasis on such training that can be practically applied in dentistry. At the same time, an endeavor has been made to in- troduce the research spirit to the mind of the student. In the first announcement of the work in chemistry was included a statement to the effect that the labor- atories were open to persons with requisite training for research work. In 1916, Mr. A. C. D'Vorak, a member of the staff, began work on the study of den- tal amalgam alloys. While he was in the midst of this work he took up military service and made the supreme sacrifice. Later, Dr. S. F. Bradel conducted research work in metallurgy, working toward the Mas- ter of Science degree. This work was interrupted by the acceptance of Dr. Bradel of a position in another university. Dr. Wach of the Department of Therapeutics be- came interested in a study of saliva and has been conducting work in this field up-to-date. He studied the calcium-potassium ratio of saliva in correlation with the calcium-potassium ratio of the blood in patients immune and those with caries. In one Undergraduate Chemistry Laboratory series of experiments, the diet of the patients were controlled. His work tended to show that the cal- cium-potassium ratio did not have any influence on caries. He also studied the percentage of potassium in combination with mucin. His next investigation concerned the relation of the mucin-content of saliva to caries. This investigation showed no definite re- lationship of the mucin content to caries. This was followed by a study of behavior of acidophilous in ten different media. From the results of this work it became apparent that mucin facilitated the growth of acidophilous and that glucose, of all the carbohy- drates studied, was the most favorable for acid pro- duction. Continued work along these lines gives an indication that with human saliva in conjunction with one type of media, it is possible by the character of the curve of acid production to predict whether the mouth is immune or active caries is going on. Dr. Wach further studied the hydrogen ion concentration as produced in these media necessary for enamel de- calcification. In connection with these experiments Dr. Wach observed that sodium chloride in certain concentrations had a deterring action on the produc- tion of acid by acidophilous. In certain concentra- tions growth may be perfectly normal but the organ- ism seems unable to produce lactic acid. The pre- cise limits of this effect are being studied in detail. Dr. Harry H. Asher has been working in the field of metallurgy for a number of years. His first en- deavor was an attempt to standardize a test for the determination of the concentration of alloys in pass- ing from the liquid to the solid stage. A die was constructed of Invar steel. This metal has a very low percentage of dimensional change when subjected to heat changes of several thousand degrees Fahrenheit. The changes that does occur have been completely investigated. A microscope micrometer was modified for the measurements of the castings made in the die. This work had to be discontinued because not suffic- ient funds were available for the apparatus needed to control the temperatures of the mould and the melted alloys. Dr. Asher undertook the study of alloys of gold and copper to determine their properties and con- struct an equilibrium diagram from which more com- plex alloys could be made and studied. Mr. Robert C. Guthrie rendered valuable advice in this connec- tion. The results of this work were published in the Journal of Dental Research under the title of Hard ness Study of Transformations in Gold-Copper Alloys. The Journal of the British Institute of Metals also car ried the report of this investigation. During the study of the gold-copper alloys, varia- tions were observed in the hardness and microstruc ture of the same alloys in different types of castings. Mr. John A. Comstock rendered valuable assistance in this study. The results of this investigation have a very practical bearing in the practice of dentistry. This work was published in the Journal of Dental Re- search entitled Some Causes of Variations in hard- ness of Gold-Copper Castings and reprinted in the British Journal of Dental Science and Prosthetics. Dr. Asher has recently worked in the field of pow- der metallurgy. Alloys can be made by combining metallic and non-metallic elements under pressure and intense heat. The resulting metal can be used in the same manner as ordinary casting alloys. This work is being continued. Following the work of Dr. Charles Lane, Dr. Asher designed an apparatus and developed a technic that has proven very successful in the application of elec- tro-plating in dentistry. Under the title of Galvano- plasty, the article was published in the Dental Digest. The write-up of this work is translated into French in LeSemaine Dentaire and into Spanish in the Oral Hygiene-Edicion Latino-Americano. The technic was demonstrated at the conventions of the Chicago Den- tal Society and the Illinois State Dental Society. Dr. Robert M. Stephan has been studying a method for the determination of the hydrogen ion concentra- tion of the dental plaques. He has been successful in devising a method by which the pH of a dental plaque can be determined within a .2 of a pH. This work was reported be- fore the Chicago Sec- tion of the Interna- tional Association for Dental Research at its January meeting. The work of both Dr. Wach and Stephan are definite contributions to our understanding of the mechanism of caries.

Restored With Partial Plate Congenitally Absent Upper Incisors Children's Clinic carries a group of about five hundred children between the ages of 2 and 12, sen- ior students performing the operative and therapeutic treatments required, referring to the other depart- ments orthodontia, extractions, and the few crowns and dentures that are indicated. After a patient is accepted and the initial period of treatment is com- pleted, the child's card is marked "Return in 2, 3, 4 or 6 months", depending upon his susceptibility to caries. The mother is often sufficiently interested to make a note of our recommendation, and on her own initiative calls us for another appointment for exam- ination. In any case, the children are called in for periodic examination and treatment, and often a child is carried from 3 or 4 years of age through the erup- tion of 28 permanent teeth and then "graduated" into the adult clinic. Patients come referred by other patients, prac- ticing dentists, hospitals, medical clinics, schools, teachers, public health nurses, and social agencies in- cluding infant welfare societies, settlement houses, and orphanages. The staff includes Dr. Elsie Gerlach, full-time superintendent of the clinic, Dr. Beulah Nelson, half- time associate, and Mrs. May Greenaway, nurse. Page Fifty-four New Children's Clinic (PimcipkoAm (Biactce (Mlttedlcme I BY WALTER WILLIAM DALITSCH M.D. IT has been felt by most educators and practi tioners in the dental field that there is a wide gap between those two most important healing profes- sions — medicine and den- tistry. It has been said that "the two professions have built up separate languages." Such a situa- tion which "endeavors to split the human body into divisions of which nature knows nothing" is deplor- able and hinders and lim- its the efficacy of our ef- forts. It does not seem practical to unite the two pro- fessions although some educators do advocate and are working toward that goal. It seems rather better to correlate and harmonize the efforts of medicine and dentistry in education, in research, and in the prevention and treatment of problems confronting both. In the past, this has led to increasing the study of the fundamental subjects. Now it would seem that more emphasis should be placed towards correlating the clinical and practical aspects of both professions. If we are to make progress in prevention, we need the research and practical cooperation of the physic- ian with a greater knowledge of dentistry and of the dentist with an increased knowledge of general medi- cine. Both should recognize the essential unity of the medical sciences and they should establish the closest cooperation not only in theoretical studies but in the practical and clinical aspects met in daily prac- tice. In an effort to carry out these ideas, the course of study entitled "Principles and Practice of Medi- cine" has been established in the dental curriculum. The subject of "Principles of Medicine" as taught to dental students consists of a didactic course of instruction given in the third year and a clinical course given in the fourth year. A total of 96 hours is de- voted to this subject. In the study of the catalogs of the dental schools of the United States and Canada, made for the Sur- vey of Dental Currieulums by the American Associa- tion of Dental Schools, it was shown that instruction in the Principles and Practice of Medicine for dental students lacked clarity in purpose and method. A need for such a course of instruction was universally acknowledged but the conceptions as to the purpose and methods of such instruction showed great var- iations. It was felt that there was a need for a closer correlation in the teaching of medicine in den- tistry. Inquir/ revealed that in no other dental college is this purpose better attained and is there as much emphasis placed in the study of medical principles as in the University of Illinois. The school may well be proud of this distinction. The Dean deserves com- mendation and credit for establishing and promoting this particular aspect of dental education. In teaching this course, the following purposes are kept in mind: (a) the dental profession is fundamentally a branch of the healing art and a thorough education in the Principles and Practice of Medicine to dental students is an important way of improving their effic- iency as healers. (b) dental and medical practitioners should en- joy closer associations to solve the problems which they frequently share. This course provides a better basis for cooperation between the two professions and I am sure our graduates are better able to coop- erate with their medical colleagues than most dental surgeons. (c) the course in Medicine enables the dental student to realize the practical value and application of the facts learned in the basic sciences such as Bacteriology, Anatomy, Materia Medica and Pathol- ogy. These somewhat detached fundamental sciences are united and brought to practical application in the study of diseases in this course. (d) The course in Medicine aims to teach such facts of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine as will en- able the student to promote and safeguard his own health and that of his family. METHOD OF TEACHING I. The course of teaching to the third year dental students consists of a lecture and quiz of one hour per week throughout the year. As the time is rather limited for such a large field, this course necessitates Continued on Page Seventy-two Page Fitty-five $%m&t>±L M by F. HERZBERC, B.S., D.D.S. Knowing how everyone feels about our having a new dental building it is unnecessary to say much about it. Some men haven't been able to become accustomed to the idea and still pinch themselves every morning when they enter to be sure its all true. Here are some facts about the Department of His- tology. Unless one is to stop at a given moment, and write fast, he shall be unable to say defnitely what is being done in the laboratory. The changes are too rapid, although the general trend remains the same. Suffice it to say that problems concerning the en- docrines and vitamins, intravital staining (pre and post natal) cytilogical changes, and guestions of tech- nique are under way at all times. * * * The entire eleventh floor is devoted to the re- search laboratories and the technical work. It is so arranged that each worker is able to have the pri- vacy needed for concentrated effort. One can think aloud without disturbing the others, and when those ground sections get too thin the language sometimes is terrific (ask the man who owns one). The equip- ment is of the best that can be obtained. One alum- nus who looked the place over noted a beautiful bi- nocular microscope. He remarked that he was happy they didn't have those when he went to school. He missed so much looking with one eye that he figured he'd have missed twice as much looking with both. * * * The department has very successfully conducted a weekly seminar for its own members and others who are interested. Attendance has ranged from a usual 10 to 15 to as high as 80 persons. The subjects pre- sented and discussed have been of a wide variety covering such fields as the chemistry of intravital dyes, tissue culture and vitamin deficiencies, to the lives of men like John Hunter and Claude Bernard. Current work of the department and the work of men from other institutions are frequently given careful scrutiny. * * * Methods of further inproving the histology class- work are always being considered by Dr. Schour. Work is sudbivided in order that each type may be more efficiently handled by each man. There is be- ing built up a long list of demonstrations with em- phasis coming to be placed on the living animal. The lectures and laboratory work are planned to bring to the students' attention the relationship that exists be- tween form and function. The experimental work done by the department in certain of its phases is taught to the freshmen. The tooth becomes to him a biologic entity. When work and play become synonymous in a laboratory then it may be considered a success. Our men do not find it necessary to have hobbies to break the routine — since there is no routine. One feels that he is constantly playing a very enjoyable game. And over the laboratory hover the spirits of those who have gone before us in scientific investiga- tion, to serve as a constant reminder that the frontiers of science are waiting for more effort. It was possible in the old building to obtain en- trance after hours by whistling from the outside to attract attention from those in the lab. Now nothing less than a telephone call or flag signals will reach the dignified heights of eleven floors. To think that Claude Bernard worked in a basement and Pasteur in Dr. Spence is becoming more and more concerned with the methods of photography and motion pic- tures. Between radiographs, microphotographs, still and motion pictures, not very much in a visual way will be left out. Colored photography is also being given our consideration. This year for the first time the dental student has been required to own a microscope. To this were raised the same objections as had once been offered vvhen medical students were given this requirement. It is difficult to become accustomed to a change. With the dentist taking a more and more extensive role in diagnosis and treatment and with the dental literature full of the blood dyscrasias the day is fast approaching when the microscope in the dental office will be as regular a part of the equipment as is the Continued on Page Seventy-one Page Fitty-six AMONG OUR WOMEN GRADUATES by Elsie Cerlach, D.D.S.

The dental students are evenly distributed in the laboratory with medical students. There are 36 lectures and 108 hours of laboratory work. Patho- genic bacteria, as well as parasites and fungi, are studied in the laboratory from the viewpoint of aid- ing in diagnosis, treatment with special emphasis on prevention of disease. Lectures deal with the princi- ples of bacteriology and immunology, emphasis is placed upon the mechanism of infection and recovery.

ADMINISTRATIVE DEPARTMENT Admitting Room Present X-ray Department Page Fifty-nine £yutiMNf Nate THE following article taken from the last July I Ith issue of "The Daily Colonist", Victoria, B. C, should be of interest to all Alumni: "With the arrival of the Chinese delegates to the Vancouver conference of the Pan-Pacific Women's Association, a news item of special interest to Victoria is revealed. The secretary-treasurer of the delegation from China, in the person of Mrs. Benjamin Kay Wong, is none other than the wife of Dr. B. K. Wong, a local Victoria boy who has made good in China in his pro- fession of dentistry. "Born in Victoria in the nineties of hard working parents who were some of the early Chinese pioneers on the West Coast, B. K., as his friends call him af- fectionately, spent his school days here, studying hard and working hard, contributing support to his large family. Afler his high school days were over, he went to Chicago, where he took up dentistry at the University of Illinois. Graduating from the Uni- versity in 1922, he took up the practice of his pro- fession in Chicago and did very well, building up a large practice. However, in the Fall of 1927, at the urging of his friends and with the appeal always set before him of the need of men of his stamp to pio- neer dentistry and oral hygiene in China, he returned to China after spending some weeks visiting old friends and schoolmates in Vancouver and Victoria. "Since his return to China, he has plunged into various activities. With the largest practice of any dental practitioner in the country, and regarded by the medical profession as well as the public as one of Chinas leading dental practitioners, he has been kept busy. He counts among his patients the leading statesmen and financiers of the country. His friends are legion, and in spite of the heavy calling he has assumed, he still devotes part of his time to the care of the indigent and needy. At the moment a project is going forward for the organization of a dental clinic for the needy of Shanghai with him as its director. So far the response from the leaders of the local Shanghai community has been most inspiring, and from indications at hand it will come into being at a not too distant date. "Besides his activities in his profession, he is the founder and first president of the Dental Association of China as well as a member of the National Dental Council of the Ministry of Education of the Central Government of China, charged with the task of reor- ganizing the dental colleges throughout the country, a big enough job in itself. He is an active Rotarian and Shriner, with memberships in many other Chinese and foreign clubs. "Of his home life much can be said. Mrs. Wong is one of Shanghai's most active club women, and is an executive of a number of different women's organ- izations, both local and national, as well as a most- sought-after hostess because of her capability and her charm. They have three children, Gladys, born in Victoria, and Benjamin, Jr., and Joffre, who are both boarding at school. All in all they are a happy family, the delight of their friends and associates. "This is one case of a Canadian-born Chinese who has made good upon his return to the land of his fathers. "B.K." still yearns for a trip back to Can- ada, and he maintains that sometime when he is as- sured that younger men will be able to look after the many patients under his care, he will go back to Vic- toria, his old home town, for a well-earned vacation, for there's still a warm spot in his heart for British Columbia." * * * Last November 16, Dr. Brodie spoke before the New York Society of Orthodontists at its meeting in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

Spector '38 Editor Student Section Jesse Coven '38 Student Photographer Page Sixty-five TOWARDS AN ASSOCIATION OF DENTAL STUDENTS The rapid development and inspiring activity of the Association of Medical Students should be of in- terest to every dental student. The problems of medical and dental students are closely associated; both study the 'human sciences' in order to render a mutual health service to the people, both are con- cerned, as future practitioners, with the economic and social problems which in turn affect the nature of the medical and dental practice; both will comply with the social forces that determine medical and dental ethics. Dr. Sigerisl, professor of History of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, in his address before the third Eastern Medical Students' Conference, in New Haven, clarified the position of the medical student in our society when he said: "This is the situation that we are facing today. I repeat there is a conflict between a new reality and an old form. It is not enough to interpret the world, one has to change it in order to improve it. If the medical conditions are not satisfactory, they have to be changed in order to improve the people's health. This is the task that is set for you, the young gener- ation. You can not afford to stand aside. It is not only our own personal future that is at stake, but the welfare of the society you are serving. You will have to take an active part in the development. You can not expect the old physicians, the leaders of the med- ical organizations to do all of the work, to solve all of the problems. The leaders of our professional or- ganizations are great doctors who have done splendid work in the various medical fields. They belong to another generation than yours and if the old system has worked very well for them, it does not mean that it will work for you today. They attained high posi- tions by devoting their lives to their profession and most of them naturally had no time for studies in history, sociology or economics. The problem that we have to solve today, however, is not primarily medical but first of all social.'' This thought can apply to dental students — -to all students, in fact. The history of the Association of Medical Students is still in its genesis; its growth and trends have been remarkably progressive in so short a period. In 1933 a group of medical students attended a conference of college undergraduates where current social and economic problems were considered. The medical students were impressed with the "free exchange of thought and opinion." and it was not difficult for them to visualize a similar organization that would consider problems of economic and social interest to their somewhat homogeneous group. The first Eastern Medical Students' Conference held at the University of Pennsylvania in 1934 was a consummation of those plans. Dr. Richard Cabot of Harvard presented the keynote address, "The Phy- sician in a Day of Social Change." The second con- ference took place in 1935 at the College of Phy- sicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, and the material considered at the convention was concerned with "How Can the Medical Profession Conserve and Improve the Health of the People." This conference was attended by over 200 delegates, and practically all of the eastern medical schools were represented. The third conference, in 1936, was held at Yale Uni- versity, with the total registration 250 delegates, rep- resenting 16 medical schools. Pertinent issues related to the medical profession were discussed, mainly, the "Ethical and Personal Relations between the Physician and Patient," "The Medical student and Social Prob- lems Confronting Medicine Today," and a panel dis- cussion "What is the Matter with Medical Education." The Fourth convention took on greater propor- tions; delegates representing western medical schools contributed their support to the convention. From Chicago, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and other western cities, delegate; swelled the conference to a capacity attendance, representing a total of 33 medical schools. Again, new and vital questions were considered; "In- terneship," "Medicine and Social Security," "Economic Aspects of Social Security," "Relation of Government to Medical Service," were the foremost topics of dis- cussion. A constitution was unanimously endorsed by the 365 delegates; Section II of Article I of the con- stitution reads: "Objects. This Association shall concern itself with the ethical, economic, social, humanistic, and educa- tional aspects of medicine, in order that its members may be better equipped to serve themselves, their profession, and society. To this end, the Association shall foster among medical students a greater under- standing of the history and traditions of medicine and the problems of the profession. It shall endeavor to cooperate with the recognized bodies of medical edu- cation, administration, and practice." The constitution was endorsed by leaders in the medical profession, including the deans of many med- ical schools. The University of Illinois and the University of Chicago were the cordial co-hosts at the last con- vention. This convention in Chicago was attended by approximately 300 delegates representing 38 medical schools throughout the United States and Canada. War, again threatening civilization, stimulated a provocative symposium on the "Medical Man and War." Panel discussions presented by both students and men in practice, dealt with medical life insurance, pure food and drug laws, intemeships, specialization vs. private practice, and student health. Numerous clinics, many of them accompanied by illustrative Page Sixty-six movies demonstrated material on pediatrics, radio- logy, surgery, psychiatry, obstetrics, neurology, and other clinical and scientific subjects. The convention terminated with a successful New Year's Eve ball. That changes are occurring in the medical and dental professions today is certain. This conference confirms this fact, for ten years ago an organized medical student's group could never have existed. Several dental students were present at this last convention in Chicago; they visualized an organiza- tion similar to the Medical Student's Association, but adapted to their special problems. It is to the ad- vantage of dental students to realize an association of dental students if they wish to keep abreast with the progressive movements of the day. HARVEY TANNER '38. * * * SENIOR SURVEY Ihree years working in the old building and now in the new building, alas, but one brief semester to glory in its environment, and in the friendships that have formed in the past years that now seem all too brief. Long after we are out of school we will look back and remember Wally Hoeksema, president of the class, as the man who always lent a willing ear to all our complaints; Stan Flachner, vice-president, the original high-tension man ; Ed Wunderlich, secretary, one-half of the Wunderlich, Lesko combination other- wise known as the "Damon and Pythias" boys unbeat- able at ping-pong; Ed Ragan, treasurer, one of the silent men of the class, Jesse Coven, poet, his office speaks for itself; Will Alpern, historian, our children's specialist; Herb Finley, sergeant-at-arms, and the largest man in our class, 230 lbs. on the hoof; Zach Yarchoan, Milt Engel, Al Mortensen and Harvey Tan- ner our studenr council representatives.

Last, but not least, we have our transfer students, Beckoff of Washington University and Doctors Sammet and Ohringer of Germany. DAYTON BERK '38. * * * THE STUDENT COUNCIL With the advent of a new building, the exigencies and emergencies confronting the student council has increased materially. Mr. Yarchoan, functioning as chairman of the stu- dent council with the capable assistance of Morten- sen, Engel, Gurian, Tanner, Borden, Watkins Smith, Patella, Kessler, Nelson, Warner, McAloon, Eckert, Blatchley, Katzman, has accomplished a considerable amount of work for the benefit of the student body of the school. The council has obtained two ping-pong tables, conducted a very successful dance and is plan- ning a second dance to be held between semesters. There have been many minor changes accomplished to aid the students in adjusting themselves to condi- tions in the new building. At present there is one im- portant proposal being discussed. We are fighting for better athletic and recreational facilities for the students. We know that it is still a "pipe" dream, but we are hoping for the establishment of a Union house for the benefit of the Chicago campus of the University of Illinois. We would like to hear from the students, faculty and alumni concerning this proposal. We need the help and encouragement from all these groups to gain any recognition for an idea of this sort. Z.

STUDENT SECTION Continued from Page Sixty-seven have a right to expect education on the plane of graduate work in the leading universities of the coun- try. When conscientious students who are concentra- ting on securing the best possible preparation for pub- lic service express their opinions frankly, they can do much to aid in the development of an institution which can give this preparation. Such proposals receive full and frank discussion in the student council. Suggestions may be made by faculty members for consideration by the student body. The student council is an important medium for securing such stu- dent cooperation in solving problems which concern the student body vitally. The student council has proved its value to the student, to the teacher and to the institution as a whole in indicating and helping in the solution of some of its most important problems. * * „ N. S. TALBOT. THE ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN You have all most probably seen a group of busy young men discussing high finance and business con- tracts. It wasn't all bluff. These men represented the newly organized Advertising Staff of the Alumni Bulletin. With the help of Dr. Charles M. Salk, Advertising Manager of the Bulletin, the business of securing ad- vertising for the Bulletin got under way with Messrs. Schneider, Knoll, Wesoke, Tanner, Karczewski, Werch, Erlitz and Spodak. With spirit and hard work the campaign was very successful. More than the necessary required sum was raised. Thus a difficult financial problem has been solved, paving the way for a special New Build- ing Number of The Alumni Bulletin. * * * H. orUUAK 38. DR. JAFFE— IN MEMORIAM The class of '38, as well as all of those who came in contact with him and his work, deeply regret the passing of Dr. Richard Jaffe. As chief pathologist at Cook County Hospital, Dr. Jaffe had endeared himself to the student body by his excellent teaching efforts. His exactness to detail and beautifully described pathological findings will long be remembered by all who had the oppor- tunity of hearing him. Dr. Jaffe's death was due to his zealous overwork in attempting to isolate the organism causing the in- fantile diarrhea responsible for the recent epidemic of baby deaths at St. Elizabeth's Hospital. DAN SPECTOR '38. FRESHMAN CLASS Reporting on the activities of our class members during the Christmas holidays brought to light a var- OtnTflL JURIS- PRiracfj fan DRBBimmm uuHnm The course in Dental Jurisprudence consists of a half-dozen lectures in the second semester of the sen- ior year. Necessarily these lectures are very general and elementary. They are designed to acquaint the student with the nature of the legal problems which are most likely to confront him in practice such as contractual and tortious relationships with the patient and public obligations, including malpractice, expert testimony and the like. Each student is given and required to study a copy of the Illinois Dental Practice Act. Students are also required to study one or more texts such as Noyes, Ethics and Jurisprudence for Dentists and Brothers, Dental Jurisprudence. At the close of the course students are required to pass a one-hour written examination. iety of pursuits. Three of our members went down to Oakland, Illinois for a week's hunting trip and if the snapshots which were taken are enough proof they were quite successful in rounding up several rabbits. Many of our members whose home residences are outside Chicago hurried home directly at the close of school, travelling by bus and train; the largest group of about fifteen travelled by bus to New York while five or six went by train. A few of us spent our time in profitable pursuits. However, everyone enjoyed his vacation from school. The Freshman Class was glad to welcome back Dr. Joranson who returned deeply tanned to resume his lectures to us on Gross Anatomy. For the past two weeks we have had somewhat of a Holiywoodian atmosphere — having our classroom pictures taken, while we were at work, for this issue of The Alumni Bulletin. Preparations for the "Finals" are under way and we fully anticipate a hectic session the last week of January. Fraternity social plans in appreciation of this semi-annual event, project beyond the Big Week, and will comprise of one or two dance programs. Secretary— IRENE LINDSTROM. Page Seventy HISTOLOGY DEPARTMENT Continued from Page Fifty-six engine. The dental laboratory will one day have as many test tubes as sprue-formers. The experimental animals are now housed in the animal hospitals of the medical school. We all miss the odor and noise, but it could be worse. One of our men has the habit of walking into the animal room and greeting The rabbits with a "hello, girls." He was duly embarrassed one day when from behind the cages came a return "hello" from two girl assistants of the medical school. I wonder what Dr. Schour and his staff do in their 'spare" time? The facilities for histological and histo-physiolog- ical research in our new building are naturally far superior to those in the old building. While our equipment is not yet entirely complete, there are ade- quate facilities for the use of hign-powertd micro- scopes, accurate micrometers and the various tech- nical apparatus necessary to grind and prepare sec- tions. There is sufficient room to accommodate the alumni who would like to investigate histologic prob- lems arising in dental practice. You are very wel- come to use these facilities. This welcome of the de- partment is extended to you without any qualifications except interest in a problem and the readiness to work. The staff will offer every possible cooperation and assistance. Dr. Schour, in addition to his own investigations, is now confronted with a personnel problem requiring administrative ability and tact, in addition to that of giving to us all a proper scientific direction. He has done all these things — and more. Need I mention how he has permeated us all with the spirit of re- search? Or how he has encouraged every effort, however small? Or how he has given freely of his time, however limited? We have three full-time research assistants, Drs. Hoffman, Spence and Herzberg, whose efforts are devoted to research and teaching — and asking ques- tions. Miss Everett is the new efficient and cooper- ative secretary. Miss Schwab and Mr. Matt are pro- ficient technicians who are kept busy preparing the histological material needed in all of the work. Dr. Sarnat and Dr. Gelfand are part-time assistants. Sar- nat is an M. D. from the University of Chicago who is now a freshman dental student. AMONG OUR WOMEN GRADUATES Did you In ( o n ti n u ad Fro m Page F i f ty • ei g h I ow thai . In 1934, Ihe Institute of Professional Wc sponsored by the American Association of Univei Women, made an investigation of women in dentis try? The material was compiled by Chase G. Wood- house and Ruth Y. Schiffman. Some of the facts found were: A census in !930 showed 1287 women dentists, 979 native white, 274 foreign born, 27 negro, 7 Oriental or Mexican. 63% practice in cities of 100,000 population or over. New York leads with 302, next is California 156; Pennsylvania Ii3, Illinois 109. In three states, Missis- sippi, South Carolina and Wyoming, there are no women dentists. 236 women dentists cooperated in making a sur- vey. "Taking the group as a whole, disergarding length of experience and other factors, median net earnings in 1930-3 1-32 were $3500, that is half of the women dentists were earning more and half were earning less than this amount. The lowest 25% earned $2400 or less and the upper 25% $5,000 or more. In 1933 a decrease in net income of from 25 to 50% was reported by some 2 3 of this group." "The women dentists earned somewhat less than the income reported for men dentists in various studies, but they are much closer to their men colleag- ues in earnings than is true in the great majority of occupations where men and women are doing the same type of work." "The percentage of married women in dentistry was about 46% in 1930. Apparently marriage is no barrier to success in dentistry. Dentistry would seem more favorable to the married woman than are the great majority of occupations open to the educated woman. The dentist can control her working hours, can work full time or part time as she pleases, and while difficulties are involved she can move her prac- tice from one community to another if necessary." Many women dentists specialize in periodontia, orthodontia or dentistry for children. A few are in salaried full time positions in industrial or school clin- ics. There are 60 on faculties of 19 dental schools, most of which are part time positions, a few full time. The above material was taken from Bulletin No. 5, "Dentistry, Its Professional Opportunities" published by The Woman's College of the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, N. C. Page Seventy-one PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF MEDICINE Continued from Page Fifty-five intensive study and close application, but I am sure the students have benefited from it and enjoyed it. As a class textbook, we use Wheeler and Jack's Handbook of Medicine." For reference we use Osier's and Steven's textbooks. In the first semester the infectious diseases are studied, grouped according to etiology. In the sec- ond semester, the intoxications, metabolic disturb- ances, and the diseases affecting the various systems of the body are studied. II. The course to the fourth year dental students consists of a two-hour clinic held once a week through- out the year. In this clinic, cases are shown from the hospital wards of special interest to the dental stu- dents. A thorough discussion is made of the history and physical findings of each case submitted and students are trained to make such examinations as may be of value from their point of view. An effort is made to provide practical demonstrations of cases as a follow-up or sequel to the lecture course given in the third year. Cases are selected for their prac- tical or theoretical interest from a dental point of view. We have been able to use the ample and var- ied facilities of both the wards and dispensaries of the Research and Educational Hospital group and have always had splendid cooperation from those in charge. As examples of material shown, the follow- ing cases are mentioned: Syphilis — primary and secondary stages in the mouth. Tertiary stage in the palate. Hodgkins Disease — differential diagnosis of en- largements of the cervical lymph glands. Hemophilia — oral manifestation and management of dental complications in hemophiliacs. The leukemias and anemias with special reference to oral lesions. Purpura — differentiation of the causes of bleeding from the gums. Agranulocytic Angina. Bell's Palsy — causes of seventh nerve paralysis. Aphthous Stomatitis and Herpes. Focal Infection — rheumatic fever, chorea, arth- ritis. Noma. Pemphigus. Diabetes Mellitus — association with dental caries and periodontal disease and effect of surgery and anesthetics. Peptic ulcer — relation to mouth infection and mas- tication. Aspiration of tooth fragment during extraction followed by bronchiectasis lobectomy. Oesophageal obstruction. Avitaminoses. Scurvy. Rickets. Acute exanthemeta — oral signs. Parotitis. Parotid tumor. Gingivitis — following mercurial and bismuth pois- oning. Malignancies of the face and mouth. From the above examples, it will be seen that a wide variety of both common and unusual ailments are demonstrated and discussed and in each case the special points of interest to the dental student are emphasized. DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIOLOGY Continued from Page Fifty-one lectures and quiz--conferences and 48 laboratory per- iods of three hours each. The number of hours de- voted to physiology at the University of Illinois is distinctly greater than at most Colleges of dentistry in the United States, and is in keeping with the opin- ion of Dean F. B. Noyes that students of dentistry should be as adequately grounded in physiology as students of medicine. Contrary to a recent trend, it is felt that carefully and adequately prepared lec- tures have a definite pedagogical value. In order that the primary objective of the course; viz., the training of men for the practice of dentistry, may be achieved as completely as possible, mammalian phys- iology and especially human physiology are stressed. Clinical data are frequently used and are found val- uable not only in establishing physiological principles but also in heightening the student's interest. One quarter of the student laboratory experiments are performed on human subjects and approximately the same number on dogs or other mammals. Demon- strations covering experiments which are too diffi- cult technically or otherwise not desirable for the student to perform are given. Among these are in- cluded, electrocardiography, lymph formation and flow, the Friedman pregnancy test, the action of in- sulin, and experimental polyneuritis. The Department also offers elective courses in advanced physiology to students and graduates of the College of Dentis- try, as well as courses in research for graduate stu- dents from the College of Dentistry. Four or five men avail themselves of these opportunities each year. Page Seventy-two DENTURE DEPARTMENT Continued from Paqo Forty of patients without increasing his time for this De- partment. Doctor G. Walter Dittmar is the head of the en- tire Prosthetic Department and gives lecture courses to both the third and fourth year classes, as well as supervision of the practical work in the Infirmary, on certain days. The teaching staff consists of Doctor Kellogg, who is in charge of full denture construc- tion and Doctor Kubacki, who is in charge of partial denture construction. Assisting in the Department are, Doctor William J. Hogan, Doctor Milo B. Hatten- hauer, and Doctor Chester Anderson. The students' first two years are given to technic courses, partial denture taking up three semesters and full denture one semester, which is the second semester of the second year. In the first semester of the first year the students are taught the use of different materials, with the construction of simpler types of partial dentures. In the second semester they take up the study of clasps and their adapta- tion with their application to partial dentures. In their third semester they study the more complicated types of partial removable dentures, with emphasis placed on restorations which are made by casting. The study of full denture construction is reduced, therefore, in hours by the fact that the student has learned to handle materials and many of the tech- nical procedures in his partial denture work, and needs only to adapt and apply them to full denture construction. The third-year plan divides the class for clinical departmental work into small groups which are sent to the various departments, and for whom these de- partments provide clinical material, stressing the clin- ical procedures and teaching the student to carry them out, while the fourth year plan permits the stu- dent to adjudicate his own time, dividing it for the different departments as he sees fit. The fourth year cases are assigned from the Admitting Department to the Seniors, who are required to diagnose, chart, and prescribe treatment in every department. This prescribed treatment is then discussed with each de- partment head and either corrected or accepted by the Department before the student starts his work. By this means the fourth year man gives his thought and attention to the entire service to the patient, rather than centering his attention on some technical procedure, and by his diagnosis of the case studies the effect of mouth conditions on the general physical condition and the effect of systemic conditions on the teeth and their treatment. While this third and fourth year plan has been in operation several years, it was devised with the thought in mind of a perfection of application when we reached the new buiiding. With the facilities which we now have and with room for growth and development made possible by our new home, we feel sure of an advancement and a progc were not possible in our former constricted an adequate quarters. DEAN NOYES AS A FRIEND Continued from Page Thirty-one You go to your friend, the dean. He accepts your idea, he gives it added meaning and what was only a wishful thought becomes a reality. Or you come to him for counsel and advice. You need help in making an important decision. He lets you talk and weighs the situation. He recognizes what you act- ually prefer and imparts support and strength to your own inclination. Or you have erred either through negligence or lack of information. You are censored by your friend. But his manner is kind and tolerant, his criticism is constructive and you emerge some- what chastened but with broadened horizons. He identifies himself with you in your joys and difficulties. He knows your strengths and rejoices in them. He knows your weaknesses and accepts them. He is free from envy and knows no jealousy or mal- ice. He supports you. He defends you. He speaks for you with an eloquence and fervor that he would not use for himself. He sacrifices his own interests to serve you without desire or hope for reward. He serves you because he cannot do otherwise, frequently without your knowing it; sometimes when you may least expect it. In addition to possessing these fine and keen sen- sibilities which make his friendship an inspiration to you and a force for growth in your personality, Dean Noyes has the rare capacity of giving freely not only emotionally and intellectually but also materially. Only his friends know where some of his personal posses- sions, a special collection of lantern slides, a rare book, or an expensive micrometer can now be found. These are some of the concrete expressions of what Dean Noyes' friendship means to all of us, a friendship the essence of which, in the words of Em- erson, is "one of entireness total magnanimity and trust." We are indeed fortunate to be able to cher- ish him as our dean and friend.

This fire in Dr. Dittmar's words "proved a blessing"; it necessitated a new roof — the glass and steel roof which made the infirmary one of the best- lighted clinics in the country at that time, and in the summer, according to both faculty and students, the best-heated clinic in this country or any other, in all time. In the summer of 1912 the stock of the medical college was turned over to the University of Illinois and since the original stockholders Were no longer interested in the dental college as a source of income to the medical college, the entire equipment of the dental college was sold to the Chicago College of Dental Surgery, and the building at the corner of Harrison and Honore was closed. Immediately after the closing of the College of Dentistry, Frederick B. Moorehead, G. Walter Ditt- mar, Donald M. Gallie and other members of the faculty of the old college, met and determined to do everything they could to persuade the University to organize a College of Dentistry. A number of the alumni, led by Austin C. Kingsley, were united with the faculty in this determination. Various plans for attacking the problem were considered. Dr. Moorehead wrote President James of the Uni- versity of Illinois concerning the state's need of a college of dentistry which should be an integral part of the University. After a number of letters had been exchanged, President James invited Dr. Moore- head to his home in Urbana. Following extended discussion of dental education, its history and its pos- sibilities, President James was convinced that the state university should have a college of dentistry. In the meantime, the alumni had been organized under the leadership of Dr. Kingsley, and as early as February 3, 1913, were petitioning President James and later Governor Dunne in behalf of the organiza- tion and the financing of a college of dentistry for the University. On February 12, the committee of the Alumni Association urgently petitioned the Board of Trustees to re-open the College of Dentistry. In July, President James asked Dr. Moorehead to appear before the Board of Trustees. At this meet- ing President James recommended that a college of dentistry be organized as an organic part of the Uni- versity and opened on October I, 1913. The Board of Trustees approved the measure. The story of the difficulties attending the success- ful establishment of the College of Dentistry as a college of the University is a long one, complicated by many factors, but the loyalty of Dr. Moorehead, Dr. Dittmar and Dr. Gallie, and the vigorous repre- sentations of Dr. Moorehead to President James and to the Board of Trustees of the University, combined with the determined leadership of the alumni by Dr. Kingsley in their appeal to the legislature, are the chief factors in the organization of a college of den- tistry, supported not by students' fees and infirmary income, but by state appropriation, and freed from the necessity for profit to concentrate on the prob- lems of dental education and service to society. - A detailed history of the College of Dentistry during its occupation of "the old building" would re- quire both more time and space than are available, but a brief resume of changes in entrance require- ments, curriculum, building changes, and personnel will recall to the alumni of different years events which were important in their own lives, as well as in dental education. Changes in requirements both for entrance and graduation indicate something of the revolution in education which has taken place. During the period between the organization of the Columbian Dental College and the removal of the Illinois School of Den- tistry into the building at the corner of Harrison and Honore Streets, the entrance requirements had been increased from what were in practice the "rudiments of an English education' to "a certificate of entrance into the second year of a high school, or its equiv- alent." This tag, "or its equivalent," haunted the cata- logs of the College of Dentistry for many years as it did those of other schools; its interpretation is said to have been extremely elastic. A large student body was essential to the maintenance of the school, what- ever the qualifications of the students. The curricu- lum of the dental school in 1898 consisted of three academic years of seven months each, and was the same when the school was moved into the Harrison Street building. In 1903-04 the School of Dentistry, in accordance with a ruling of the National Association of Dental Faculties, of which the school had become a member in 1900, announced an extension of the curriculum to four years; but by the following year, so many dental schools had threatened to resign from the Association if the requirements was continued, that an agreement was reached to return to a curriculum of three years, each year one of thirty weeks of six full days each. Entrance requirements were gradually increased to completion of "curriculum of an accredited high school or its equivalent", but the "equivalent" was not strictly defined until 1913-14 when the College became a part of the University of Illinois. In 1914, '15, and '16 extensive correspondence between Dean Moorehead and officials of the Uni- versity at Urbana concerning the addition of a year to the dental course, led eventually to an announce- Page Seventy-four merit that in 1917, the dental curriculum would be so extended as to require four years for its completion. In 1918 the College of Dentistry became a mem ber of the Dental Faculties' Association of American Universities, a group of university dental colleges or- ganized in 1908 with the purpose "of promoting higher ideals in dental education, of improving the standards of preliminary education required for ad- mission to dental schools, and ultimately of establish- ing a national standard of dental education." This group proved to be one of the most influential fac- tors in the realization of high educational ideals. In 1921, the entrance requirements were increased by the addition of one year of predental work in a college of liberal arts and sciences, and in 1929, by another year, making a total of sixty hours of pre- professional requirements. These increases in requirements for entrance and graduation were accompanied by changes in the cur- riculum and teaching of the dental college. These may be summarized as: 2. The transference of some subjects in the den- tal curriculum to the years of preprofessional education. ncrease in the number of laboratory hours in fundamental sciences such as anatomy, phys- iology, pathology and bacteriology in order to give the student a better background for a comprehension of the problems of health and disease. 3. Development of more individualized instruc- tion in the principles of technique, which per- mitted a reduction in laboratory hours de- voted to teaching technique as well as in number of technical pieces. 4. Change from quantitative clinical require- ments to a qualitative basis of determining the students' eligibility for graduation. 5. Introduction of elective courses. 6. More stress on diagnosis and development of judgment. 7. Introduction of courses correlating medicine and dentistry. 8. Encouragement of research. 9. Development of graduate courses. The addition to the curriculum of more hours of fundamental sciences and of courses in medicine, der- matology, pediatrics and diagnosis, all of which em- phasize the relation between oral and general sys- temic conditions, was the beginning of a realistic pro- gram to make dentistry a health service, closely in- tegrated with medicine, and to develop graduates who could contribute to preventive medicine. Not only is the encouragement of research a means to- ward these ends, but research can make available information on satisfactory restorative measure'., ai I provide training for student', which will better pre- pare them to teach in dental colleges. Graduate courses, which serve the same ends, were established in histology, therapeutics and oral surgery. The de- velopment of the graduate course in orthodontia fol- lowed the realization that orthodontic service of a satisfactory quality can be offered only by men with special training of at least one and one-half to two years in addition to four years of dentistry. These developments in teaching, research and graduate courses have been to a considerable extent the result of the policy pursued during the adminis- trations of Dean Moorehead and Dean Noyes of en- couraging members of the faculty to secure advanced degrees. A number of the faculty are now members of the graduate faculty of the University. Another development common to both administrations is the presentation of short post-graduate courses for prac- ticing dentists who wish to inform themselves con- cerning most recent developments in technique. The changes in curriculum and teaching methods led to building alterations. In 1914, less than one year after the College of Dentistry had become a part of the University of Illinois, letters exchanged by Dean Moorehead and Professor White, at that time architect of the University, indicate that building al- terations and repairs began almost immediately after the College became a part of the University, Re- pairs necessitated by two fires in 1926 offered oppor- tunities for improvements. Later correspondence shows constant attempts, which succeeded because of the hearty cooperation of Professor White, to adapt the old building to the advancing needs of dental education. Some of the more important build- ing changes were: 1. The construction of a surgical amphitheater on the third floor. 2. The alteration of the second floor to provide space for a separate clinic for children. 3. Provision of space for research laboratories for clinical departments on the two and one- half floors. 4. Changes on the second floor to permit the moving of the prosthetic infirmary and labor- atory to that floor. 5. Alterations of the third floor to provide office space and laboratory for oral pathology. 6. Changes on three and one-half to provide space for graduate orthodontia courses. These changes to the eye of the layman may not have made the old building more beautiful, but they kept it as well adapted to the changes in dental edu- cation as was possible; so today for this reason, if for Page Seventy-five no other, faculty, alumni and students think kindly of the old building. During a period so long as that between 1901 and 1937 changes in personnel were many; the only active members of the faculty and staff who have been with the College twenty-five years or more are, in the order of their first association with the school: G. Walter Dittmar, Frederick B. Moorehead, Fred- erick B. Noyes. Those who have retired, but who still remain close contact with the school are: Donald M. Gallie, Louis Schulz, Maud Gubbins. Many others who have performed valuable ser- vice in the history of the school in the old building and who hold unique positions in the affections of both faculty and alumni have not been named be- cause of lack of space, but no story of the College of Dentistry can be offered to the alumni without mention of Paul, who acted for more than twenty- five years as custodian of the building and every one in it. The first dean of the Illinois School of Dentistry was Frank N. Brown (1898-1901). The names of the men who have served as deans since 1901 when the dental school moved into the Harrison Street build- are: Adelbert Henry Peck, 1901-1903; Bernard John Cigrand, 1903-1906; George Washington Cook, 1906-1912; Frederick Brown Moorehead, 1913-1924; Frederick Bogue Noyes, 1 924-. Dr. Mooreheads great qualities of leadership se- cured the University's support, assembled an unusually well-balanced faculty and directed the full support of the college to the development of university standards in dental education. He courageously fought for pro- fessional preparation which would provide a well-bal- anced cultural background for the dental student and for scholastic standards in the dental colleges equally as exacting as those in the best medical colleges. As a great leader, fighter and teacher, Dr. Moorehead not only did much to advance dental education, but he led the College of Dentistry to an outstanding position among the leading dental colleges of the country. Dean Noyes, who was early imbued with the high idealism of his father, also a great educator, has car- ried forward without a break the program of educa- tion initiated, enlarging and adapting it to changing conditions. His concentration on the problems not only of the College of Dentistry, but of dental educa- tion as a whole, and his determination that the Col- lege of Dentistry can and will meet these problems, has prevented that complaisance on the part of either faculty or students which means the end of growth and service. Dean Noyes' loyalty to the college is such that he is never satisfied with what has been achieved. His vision is great, and his will to realize this vision is unconquerable. One thousand two hundred ninety-eight students have been graduated from the old building. These graduates have come under the influence of the fears and the hopes, the cowardice and the courage, the materialism and the idealism of a long line of dental educators. To say that during the thirty-five years under consideration dentistry has changed from a trade to a profession may seem true at first glance, but closer study leads to recognition of the fact that there have long been both dentists and physicians who regarded dentistry as a profession closely allied with medicine and surgery, and who tried to relate dental education and the practice of dentistry with other health services. Even if the historical review is confined to this country alone, the attitudes of the men who founded the first dental schools prove this assertion. Hayden, Harris, Bond and Baxley were agreed that dentistry was a medical specialty. At that same time there were silversmiths, ivory turners and umbrella makers, good mechanics who conscientiously performed some dental operations with no thought that these differed from their other mechanical pursuits. This split be- tween the ideas of different groups who performed dental operations undoubtedly was widened by the development of the proprietary schools which em- phasized the mechanical side although some gave lip service to the ideal held by a number of men that dentistry has a more inclusive service to render than restoration of teeth, and some members of their facul- ties believed in this ideal and tried to impress it on their students regardless of the exigencies of the school which must support itself by its income. The attitude of the mechanical operator was made untenable by various discoveries in the field of path- ology which emphasized the possibilities of medico- dental service to society, and led the public to expect dentistry to include much more than restorative pro- cedures in its practice. When the old idea of den- tistry as a part of medicine, which always had its pro- ponents, was corroborated by scientific investigation, dental leaders made tremendous efforts to overcome the split which had long existed both in dental educa- tion and practice. The story of the College of Dentistry in the old building covers the difficult period during which these two ideas of dental education and practice struggled. Today the larger point of view has been generally accepted. The old building soon to be razed to the ground by the wreckers played its part in the vital- ization of dental education; it was utilized to the limit of its possibilities by both faculty and students in the service of society. Paqa Seventy-six THE BALLAD OF RYERSON The Ryerson physics laboratory at the University of Chicago was erected in the early lK!)0s before Roentgen made his epochal discovery. It is a memorial to the late Martin Ryerson, first president of the Univer- sity of Chicago Board of Trustees and is famous for the atomic and other research of Michel son. Mill Heart, Comptov, and their associates. When Ryerson rose like a dream, None dreamed of the lightning massed In the welded heart of an atom. None saw the shadow cast By the light more thrilling than light, The unseen searing wave That searches a man and foreshadows The man he tvill be in his grave.

And, because fear of dentistry is fear of pain, the prime factor that builds a practice is faith that pain will be minimized or excluded. Faith that is present in the eyes of patients who have learned that their confidence is justified, is created by the dentist's skill, and the anesthetic he uses for the control of pain. Just as there can be no compromise with professional skill, so must the best be the absolute requirement for the anesthetic used. Successful dentists everywhere demonstrate their faith that the faith of patients is best protected by the use of NOVOCAIN with COBEFRIN in Cook or R. B. White cartridges or ampules.
