He attended Crisfield High School and the Maryland Agricultural College, where he received his degree in 1908. Besides his outstanding scholastic attainments he achieved distinction in football, track, and baseball during his student days. In 1912, he became a!thletic coach and Instructor in English and History at his alma mater. During World War I, he organized and directed the Students Training Corps at College Park. At the close of the war he was made assistant to Dr. A. F. Woods, President of the University. He remained in that position when Dr. Woods was succeeded by Dr. Raymond Pearson. When Dr. Pearson resigned in 1936, Dr. Byrd was chosen to succeed him. Through his efforts in the State Legislature, he was instru- mental in the merger of the State Schools of Law, Medicine, Arts and Sciences, College of Engineering, and the Agricultural College. New structures included in Dr. Byrd ' s progressive building program for the University in Baltimore are the hand- somely equipped Bressler Memorial Building, the annexes of the Schools of Nursing and Dentistry, and additions to the Uni- versity Hospital. tteJi elilfl. O ' Qano.1 Governor of Maryland Governor O ' Conor was born in Baltimore in 1896. He attended St. Paul ' s Parochial School and Loyola High School. He received his A.B. degree from Loyola College, of Baltimore, and in 1920 received his LL.B. degree from the University of Maryland. In 1924 the degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on him by Loyola College. In 1921 he was appointed Assistant State ' s Attorney; in 1923 he was appointed by Governor Ritchie to the position of People ' s Counsel of the Public Service Commission. He was elected State ' s Attorney in 1924 by an easy majority. He held this position until elected Governor of Maryland in 1938; in Novem- ber of 1942 he was re-elected to that office. Governor O ' Conor has played a prominent part in the progress of the University of Maryland and much of its expansion can be credited to the cooperation between the Chief Executive of the State and Dr. Byrd. D.D.S., F.A.C.D. Dean, Professor of Dental Anatomy and Operative Technics President of the American Dental Association Page five The Robinsons have been in America for a long time. Joseph H. and EUzabeth (Blackwell) Robinson of Rileysville, Virginia, both claimed descent from early Virginia settlers, the Robinsons being of Irish origin and the Blackwells of EngUsh ancestry. Their son, Joseph B. Robinson, was born in Rileysville in 183 8, living in Warrenton, Virginia, until he was twenty-one. He then moved to Clarksburg, West Virginia, where, on April 16, 1883, his eighth child, J. Ben, was born. J. Ben Robinson was educated in the public schools of West Virginia. After three years of preliminary teaching he matriculated at the Teachers ' Training School, Marshall College, from which he was graduated in 1908. While at Marshall he played baseball and football, acting as captain of the eleven in his senior year. Continuing his scholastic career at West Virginia University, Dr. Robinson took post-graduate courses in subjects that were of especial interest to him. Upon completing his work at the University he taught mathematics and science in a high school in New Martinsville, West Virginia, for three years. Together with a cousin who was particularly close to him, Dr. Robinson planned to enter medical school, but the prospect of self-support through the four-year medical course acted as a deterrent and wedge in the proposed careers of the two men; for while one did enter the Johns Hopkins Medical School, the other turned to the then shorter curriculum that dentistry offered and entered the University of Maryland Dental School. While a student Dr. Robinson served on the Editorial Staff of the University Gazette, was President of the Senior Class, and was graduated Gold Medal Winner in 1914. He was immediately appointed Demonstrator of Operative Dentistry, a position he held until 1915, when he returned to Clarksburg to begin practice — a practice which lasted just six weeks, for the Dental School was determined to have Dr. Robinson as a member of the faculty, and have him it did. The next nine years were marked by a rapid and steady series of advancements. In 1916 Dr. Robinson was appointed Professor of Clinical Dentistry. The following year he married Mrs. Beulah Minor Welsh of Baltimore, and one year later was appointed Professor of Operative Dentistry. He retained this chair until 1921, resigning to devote his entire attention and energy to an extensive practice. In this same year he was elected President of the Maryland State Dental Association; he founded the publication of that organization, The Bulletin, acting as its editor. In 1922 he was appointed by Governor Albert C. Ritchie to serve upon the State Board of Dental Examiners, resigning in 1924 to become Dean of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. It has been chiefly through his efforts that the oldest dental school in the world is also one of the best, not only in its purely physical aspects but also in its curriculum and faculty. Dr. Robinson is a member of the American Association of Dental Schools (President, ' 32- ' 33), the Maryland Historical Society, Sons of the American Revolution, American Association for the Advancement of Science, the International Association for Dental Research, the American Association of University Professors, the Maryland State Dental Association (President, ' 21- ' 22), Phi Sigma Kappa, Gamma Alpha Pi, Psi Omega (Supreme Grand Master), Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the University Club, Kiwanis (President, ' 34), and Torch; Fellow of the American College of Dentists (President, ' 34- ' 35), Fellow of the New York Academy of Dentists. In 1934, at the request of Secretary Frances Perkins, Dr. Robinson accepted a position on the Committee of Dentists, assisting the committee on economic security. Recently he was appointed to a committee of dentists acting in an advisory capacity to the Selective Service and more recently was appointed by Secretary of War Stimson to a committee that consists of the nation ' s leading medical men, whose duty it will be to study the Army Medical Service so that personnel, both here and abroad, will have the benefit of the best medical care. Finally, as a climax to a full and active career, Dr. Robinson was elected to the Presidency of the American Dental Association, an honor that can be thoroughly appreciated by those not associated with the profession as well as by those who are. That Dr. Robinson ' s interest and devotion to dentistry are complete is reflected in his hobby of collecting old and rare books pertaining to dentistry . What is modestly admitted to be a fine library is actually one of the best of its kind in existence. From it Dr. Robinson has generously donated numerous invaluable publications to various organizations. These, then, are the salient facts of the life of our Dean. Those who have heard him speak from the rostrum or who have had the privilege of speaking to him per- sonally know of his clear-cut, concise manner of thought and expression, his dynamic delivery and subtle himior. A keen mind, driving ambition, and remarkable energy have won for Dr. Robinson high position and favor in both professional and civic activities. Fane Six 3n ilptttanam RoleM £. nUMM, MaA,. ., m.9). With the passing of Dr. Mitchell, the students and alumni of the B.C.D.S. suffered the loss of an excellent professor and a highly valued friend. After apparent recovery from an operation, he had a relapse that ended in his death on Sunday, December 13, 1942. Dr. Robert L. Mitchell was born on June 2 5, 1881, in Elkton, Maryland. After receiving his early education in the public schools, he attended Delaware College. Desiring a professional education he transferred to the Baltimore College of Pharmacy, from which he was graduated in 1902.

He began practice in Baltimore and in 19 10 was invited to jcin the faculty of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery.

Dr. Mitchell was a member of the Baltimore City Medical Society, the American Chirvirgical Faculty, the American Medical Associa- tion, and the Southern Medical Society. Dr. Mitchell was a member of the staff of the Maryland General Hospital. He also was an active member of the Nu fraternity, Boumi Temple of the Shrine, Sons of the American Revolution, and the Society of the War of 1812. Only a few of us realized that Dr. Mitchell had participated in many sports and in 1902 was captain of the Maryland football team. He was a member of the M Club. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Annie Insklp Smith Mitchell; a daughter, Miss Nancy Smith Mitchell; and a son, Dr. William Arthur Mitchell, now associated with the Maryland General Hospital. Another son, Robert L. Mitchell, Jr., died in 1934. Throughout his entire career as a teacher, students remembered Dr. Mitchell for his genial ways and his ready wit. Not a lecture went by that he did not keep spirits high with a story or some casual remark. Every one of his students admired him because of his eagerness to be a friend and close advisor. This characteristic made him well liked by all who knew him. Ptilic Snt ' n Zke faculty Comcil William E. Hahn, A.B., D.D.S., M.S.

Almost straight from our college finals we came to Baltimore to begin the toughest of dental years. Smack into the first accelerated course we came — and in the hottest Maryland weather. Since June we ' ve been hitting the books and taking the gas until we are glad to hang on the ropes and hold until come late February. We ' ve worked hard this year and the end is in sight for all of us, one way or the other. We fervently hope that the mortality rate of the present freshman class will be the lowest in the School ' s history. Our bunch at the B.C.D.S. appreciate the crisis tht. countr) ' is now facing and we are all making a determined effort to do our part. Many of us have brothers, friends, and cousins fighting for life and liberty all over the globe. We ' re preparing ourselves to join that fight for freedom as trained individuals, and we don ' t expect to let those brothers, friends, and cousins down. Yes, in spite of a dance or an occasional date we have not forgotten the more serious aspects of our stay here or the i-esponsibilities that the war has thrown upon us. OFFICERS BoYCE A.

With the advent of war and the necessity of an accelerated program in dental edu- cation we didn ' t have much chance to gather our wind as we returned to school for the entire summer. The large fans in the lecture halls and labs were certainly appreciated in the sweltering days of the summer. No one will forget those first days in Crown and Bridge and how easily we managed to burn up gold . How good we all felt after preparing our first cavity. Each of us had a glint in his eye: If only this were a real patient instead of a dentiform! Oh, how our fingers hurt after scaling our mannequins; but we knew that all these hardships brought us closer to the clinic floor and the realization of the sophomore ' s dream of wearing a white gown. To elude the summer heat the members of the Sophomore class decided to go on a boat ride. We were sorry that Dr. Miller was unable to attend, but he claimed that there might be Jap mines in the bay and he was looking forward to going into the air coi-ps and didn ' t relish being a casualty so near to home. At the beginning of the second semester we were introduced to several new courses. We are the first class in any dental school in the country to have a course in Oral and Written Expression, a great eliminator of leisure time. The entire class was deeply grieved by the passing of one of our best liked professors. We are sure that none of the hundreds of Dr. Mitchell ' s students will ever forget him, for he had a way of getting close to every fellow. As the year draws to a close we look to our future in the clinic and hope to serve our country as best we can by doing the best we can. OFFICERS Donald G. Pales President Harold R.

The various swimming pools around the town were haunted by juniors trying to cool off — and meet a few patients. We did not do well at either job. Old and almost forgotten acquaintances were looked up, but they were either in the Army or working all day — so we warmed the bench for the first few weeks. Finally, our first patients came and with them the inevitable foreboding Are you a senior? , and the evasive answer, er — I graduate in about a year. We all tried to do bloodless prophys but after a little experience with subgingival calculus the more practical members of the class tried donating to a blood bank. Our first cavity preparation proved that we didn ' t know as much as we thought we did when we were working on endoform teeth. After hours of work we called an instructor — Dr. — isn ' t this deep enough, the patient just jumped — and the answer, You ' re still in the enamel; you ' d jump too if someon e stuck a mirror down your throat. The x-ray dark room permanently recorded our fingerprints on all films developed during the first month of school. Pedodontia provided most of us with our first patients. The rabbit trick usually worked at first on our pads , but the towel technique was often resorted to. After being bitten a few times we remembered to keep a mirror in use as an emergency mouth prop. Much psychology was resorted to by the juniors. Jerry Kaye kept his peds in line with acrobatics and contortion. Another junior kept a goldfish in a bowl on the operating tray. Other juniors had to resort to Superman. Our three-weeks August vacation provided a much needed relief from Baltimore heat. Most of us went home and rested. Several of the fraternities held Saturday night parties and dances, which were attended by the majority of the Class; but the Junior Class Dance, held at the Belvedere, December 12, was outstanding. Dr. McCrea and Dr. Suss- man were there in uniform, Dr. Mac looking very good with his newly acquired bay window, small as it is. Dr. Sussman, with his tarnished gold braid showing signs of long service, looked like a real seadog. Herb Krasner, Joe Berkeley, Fred Beerbower, Mahlon Leiphart and Stan Lipman deserted the ranks of the happily unmarried to join Ed Biczak, Marty Weiselberg and Bob Gibson. We think they must really like home cooking — or maybe it ' s love. The cold weather and crowded street cars resulted in many startling scenes. Jim Pruitt wore his flannel pajamas under his clothes; he recommends the custom as being very effective. It also allows five minutes ' more sleep on cold mornings. We have had discussions as to which we would rather use on Adolph, Benny, and Tojo, a dull 42 inverted cone bur or an extra large cross fissure bur — before hanging them, of course. If it weren ' t for them we wouldn ' t be get- ting up so early these cold, dark mornings. Just think how nice it was to sleep till 8 o ' clock standard time before the war! The death of Dr. Robert L. Mitchell saddened the entire Class. We shall never forget him or his remarkable sense of humor that made every lecture hour a real treat. In our notebooks his stories are down word for word as an in- tegral part of our lecture notes in his course. As this year draws to a close, we feel even more keenly the nearness of that day when we shall be able to do our full part as dentists in the Army or the Navy. We, with less than a year ahead of us, are straining at the leash to finish our reqviirements and get to work for Uncle Sam. OFFICERS Robert H. Smith President Harold Hyman Vice-President August R.

We had not suffered any of the immediate consequences of that dastardly raid, but it wasn ' t long till gas bombs began falling at our feet. It came to pass in the summer heat when we, the first graduating class of ' 43, abandoned all hopes of a lengthy summer vacation and convened to begin the first school term under the Accelerated Plan. Just as a matter of routine, our requirements were presented to us in a most appealing manner — Crown and Bridge, Prosthetics, and Clinical Operative, with its 1,2 5 points, plus the most brilliant concept of sixteen specimen restorations! The extent of our requisites was such that it became almost imperative to have had training as a shipyard employee of Henry J. Kaiser in order to complete the prescribed units, dentures, and points. Such was the nature of the first raid, which later grew into a nightmare of no small dimensions. OFFICERS Milton S. Wilkinson President Howard J. Hauss Vice-President James T. Reilly Secretary Harold H. Goodman Treasurer Leonard Krugman Historian Albert J. Walsh Sergeant-at-Arms While we were becoming calloused to the effectiveness of the requirement blitz , the three-weeks summer vacation was expectantly awaited. But our dreams of a peaceful recess were thwarted by the announcement about the work on senior theses, these to be preceded by an examination on our hterary abilities concerning How to Write a Thesis. This test was scheduled on the day of our return! Long will the memory of this quiz live, since it was necessary that a few take the examination as many as four times to obtain a pass! Well, time passed, work mounted, and the nightmare haunted us night and day. With our Thanksgiving holiday behind us, our thoughts naturally turned to the coming Christmas vacation. And why not? Stores rushed the season, the Government ordered gifts to be mailed earlier, and it was our first breathing spell in ahncst four months. Little did we know that our dreams were deceitful, for we had overcome all problems of transportation, and even made plans for a big Christmas at home. Our first set-back of the recess came in the form of what may be termed a kill-joy raid. That is, we were assigned topics for research in the field of Dental History. Downcast as a result of all the work, we sought happiness in that which was to follow at home. But, such was not our lot. All our friends were in the armed forces, and so our plans of an exciting, work-forgetting recess crumbled. This was our second set-back and it added insult to injury. The arrival of a New Year introduced new aspirations within us. There was a two- months period before the long awaited day — graduation. Yet much work had to be done. Endless hours were spent in counting points, and in figuring out w here this specimen, or that bridge, or another denture was to be found. In spite of our conscientious attitude toward the judgment day,, premeditated blitzes were forced on us. As the deadline for specimens drew nigh, the clinic floor was the scene of utmost activity. The gold foil mallets were being used almost exclusively, giving a visitor the impression that he was in the riveting department of Glenn L. Martin ' s. Not to slight those members of cur class who have changed their status this year, we hereby sincerely lift our hats to them; for they have decided to suffer the conse- quences of a cross-fire blitz. That is, from 9 A.M. till 5 P.M. at the B.C.D.S.; from 5 P.M. till 9 A.M. at home. It seems that, upon graduation, they will be more adequately suited for the armed forces, either Army or Navy, since they will have had a more extensive period of training in modern warfare. Those who remain single will probably be handicapped for some time, but, we think, they will also make an excellent showing. In spite of all the reverses and injuries suffered throughout the four-year period, we look forward to the day when the lights will go on again. So, when the all clear sounds our hearts will be lighter, and we shall look back on the days of readin ' , writin ' , and ' rithmetic with one feeling — we regret that we had but four years at the B.C.D.S.

Markel, Freshman The Journal has a fine new cover for its seventh volume. This semi-annual publication of the B.C.D.S. serves many good purposes. Chief among these is its service to both students and alumni as a medium of publication for case histories and papers. The value of the journal in this respect will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced by recent developments in the Department of Dental History and Dental Literature. With better training in the preparation of papers and theses the students will naturally be more interested in reading and in writing in the field of dental science and art. Much excellent work was done this year by the seniors in their theses and their Dental History papers; and by the sophomores in their course papers in Oral and Written Expression. The Journal has an unusual distinction among the dental periodicals: it has published and will continue to publish items from literature concerning dentists and dentistry, selected from the collection made by the Department of Dental History and Dental Literature. Piigr riily-scicn Despite the acceleration of our course of study during this war year, the Society, in keeping with its past traditions, has been able to maintain an active program. Gorgas has a membership list of 72 seniors and juniors. The Ferdinand J. S. Gorgas Odontological Society was founded at the University of Maryland Dental School in the winter of 1916. The founders adopted the name in honor cf Dr. Ferdinand J. S. Gorgas, a great contributor to dental education and dental hterature. We are prcud that our Dean, who now holds the lofty position of President of the American Dental Association, was the first president of the organization. Dr. Robinson has remained Honorary President ever since. The objects of the Society are best expressed in the words of the code of the Society: The cbjects of the F.J.S.G.O.S. of the University of Maryland shall be to create an active interest in questions pertaining to the dental profession, to develop the student ' s power of thought, and to contribute to his development by presenting opportunities for participation in the discussion of professional topics; to proinote the interest of the profession at large by creating in the student ' s mind a feeling of need for associations and to establish higher ideals of service for his life ' s work. Scholarship is the basis for admission to membership in the Society. Students become eligible for membership at the beginning of their Junior and Senior years if their work in the previous years has been of high quahty and they rank in the upper 40 ' ,v of the class, with an average above 5 ' r in all their courses. This year the coveted gold key was presented to the neophytes by Dr. Heatwole at cur annual initiation banquet and dance at the Lord Baltimore Hotel on September 19, 1942. Dr. Aisenberg presided and Professor Foley was responsible for a very enjoyable evening with his keen wit and varied store of humor. The farewell dance was held at the Belvedere Hotel on January 16, 1943, when the Seniors were presented with certifi- cates of membership by Dr. McCarthy. Dr. Hahn was the guest speaker and was happy to welcome so many of the faculty in spite of the difficulty of transportation. Among the prominent lecturers who addressed the Society were Lieutenant Com- mander Sault, who discussed The Role of Dentistry in the Navy , and our own Dr. Anderson, who gave a very illuminating presentation on Fractures in Civihan and Mihtary Life. The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery can boast of many firsts, and it is interesting to note that the F.J.S.G.O.S. was the first undergraduate organization founded in a dental school of the United States.

The annually elected student members of the Council have the enthusiastic support of their respective classes. The maintenance of the Student Lounge has been a major concern of the Council, and its excellent supervision of that important sector has made the students constantly aware of the value of the group. One Faculty member, Dr. Dorsey, is serving in the Army Dental Corps. Dr. Dobbs and Dr. Aisenberg are new members of the Council. Their experiences both as dental students and as dental professors make them valuable additions to the Faculty section of the Council. STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES Russell P. Smith, Senior Mahlon P.

POTTS has suffered a good deal from the toothache, and one day he went around to the office of Dr. Slugg, the dentist, to have the offending tooth pulled. The doctor has a very large practice; and in order to economize his strength, he invented a machine for pulling teeth. He constructed a series of cranks and levers fixed to a movable stand and operating a pair of forceps by means of a leather belt, Virhich was connected with the shafting of a machine- shop in the street back of the house. The doctor experimented with it several times on nails firmly inserted in a board, and it worked splendidly. The first patient he tried it on was Mr. Potts. When the forceps had been clasped upon Potts ' tooth. Dr. Slugg geared the machine and opened the valve. It was never known with any degree of exactness whether the doctor pulled the valve too far open or whether the engine was working at that moment under extraordinary pressure. But in the twinkling of an eye Mr. Potts was twisted out of the chair and the movable stand began to execute the most surprising manoeuvres around the room. It would jerk Mr. Potts high into the air and souse him down in an appalling manner, with one leg among Slugg ' s gouges and other instruments of torture, and with the other in the spittoon. Then it would rear him up against the chandelier three or four times, and shy across and drive Potts ' head through the oil portrait of Slugg ' s father over the mantel-piece. After bumping him against Slugg ' s ancestor it would swirl Potts around among the crockery on the wash-stand and dance him up and down in an exciting manner over the stove, until finally the molar gave , and as Potts landed with his foot through the pier-glass and his elbow on a pink poodle worked in a green rug, the machine dashed violently against Dr. Slugg and tried to seize his leg with the forceps. When they carried Potts home, he discovered that Slugg had pulled the wrong tooth; and Dr. Slugg never sent to collect his bill. He canceled his contract with the man who owned the planing-mill, and began to pull teeth in the old way by hand. I have an impression that Slugg ' s patent can be bought at a sacrifice. Mr. Potts, a day or two later, resolved to take the aching tooth out himself. He had heard that a tooth could be removed suddenly and without much pain by tying a string around it, fixing the string to a bullet and firing the bullet from a gun. So he got some string and fastened it to the tooth and to a ball, rammed the latter into his gun, and aimed the gun out of the window. Then he began to feel nervous about it, and he cocked and uncocked the gun about twenty times, as his mind changed in regard to the operation. The last time the gun was cocked he resolved nof to take the tooth out in that way, and he began to let the hammer down preparatory to cutting the string. Just then the hammer slipped, and the next minute Mr. Potts ' tooth was flying through the air at the rate of fifty miles a minute, and he was rolling over on the floor howling and spitting blood. After Mrs. Potts had picked him up and given him water with which to wash out his mouth he went down to the front window. While he was sitting there thinking that maybe it was all for the best, he saw some men coming by carrying a body on a shutter. He asked what was the matter, and they told him that Bill Dingus had been murdered by somebody. Mr. Potts thought he would put on his hat and go down to the coroner ' s office and see what the tragedy was. When he got there, Mr. Dingus had revived somewhat, and he told his story to the coroner. He was trimming a tree in Butterwick ' s garden, when he suddenly heard the explosion of a gun, and the next minute a bullet struck him in the thigh and he fell to the ground. He said he couldn ' t imagine who did it. Then the doctor examined the wound and found a string hanging from it, and a large bullet suspended upon the string. When he pulled the string it would not move any, and he said it must be tied to some other missile still in the flesh. He said it was the most extraordinary case on record. The medical books reported nothing of the kind. Then the doctor gave Mr. Dingus chloroform and proceeded to cut into him with a knife to find the other end of the string, and while he was at work Mr. Potts began to feel sick at his stomach and to experience a desire to go home. At last the doctor cut deep enough; and giving the string a jerk, out came a molar tooth that looked as if it might have been aching. Then the doctor said the case was more extraordinary than he had thought it was. He said that tooth couldn ' t have been fired from a gun, because it would have been broken to pieces; it couldn ' t have been swallowed by Dingus and then broken through and buried itself in his thigh, for then how could the string and ball be accounted for? The occurrence is totally unaccountable upon any reasonable theory, said the doctor, and I do not know what to believe, unless we are to conceive that the tooth and the ball were really meteoric stones that have assumed these remarkable shapes and been shot down upon the earth with such force as to penetrate Mr. Dingus ' leg, and this is so very improbable that we can hardly accept it unless it is impossible to find any other. Hello! What ' s the matter with you. Potts? Your mouth and shirt are all stained with blood! Oh, nothing, said Potts, forgetting himself. I just lost a tooth and — You lost a Who pulled it? asked the doctor. Gentlemen, said Potts, the fact is I shot it out with my gun. Then they put Potts under bail for attempted assassination, and Dingus said that as soon as he got well he would bang Mr. Potts with a club. When the crowd had gone, the coroner said to Potts, You ' re a mean sort of a man, now, ain ' t you? Well, Mr. Maginn, replied Potts, I really didn ' t know Mr. Dingus was there; and the gun went off accident- ally, any way. Oh, it isn ' t that, said the coroner — it isn ' t that. I don ' t mind your shooting him, but why in the thunder didn ' t you kill him while ycu were at it, and give me a chance? You want to see me starve, don ' t you? I wish you ' d a buried the tooth in his lung and the ball in his liver, anjd then I ' d a had my regular fees. But as it is, I have all the bother and get nothing. I ' d starve to death if all men were like you. And Potts went away with a dim impression that he had injured Maginn rather more than Mr. Dingus. Pti! c Scrfii y-fniir U. S. ARMY MEDICAL MUSEUM In the past few months there has come to light a new field of research in dentistry, dental gremlinology. It is one aspect of the scientific study of those gnome-like char- acters, the gremlins. Their fantastic behavior in the field of aviation has been reported in a current issue of the Reader ' s Digest. This article, however, is the first treatise on the newest bugaboo of dentistry, the dental gremlin. The following data are the result of embryonic research. Case 1 — The Problem of the Suddenly Appearing Pulpal Horn Yes, the dental gremlins are undoubtedly responsible. The scraping of the excavator along the pulpal floor incites these characters (and they are definitely characters) into a frenzy of activity. They mass themselves within the pulp chamber, and with their mighty little torsos force the pulpal horn occlusally. And, lo and behold — exposure! Case 2 — The Problem of the Mysteriously Torn Rubber Dam Whew! Ten more minutes and this Class III foil will be finished! Aha! Mr. Gremlin now appears at the scene. While we have been la boriously condensing for the past two hours, Mr. G and his buddies have been delightedly chewing their way through the number one priority. Result — refill! If Mr. G and his buddies do not succeed, Mrs. G and her mother-in-law lodge themselves beneath the foil and push with all their feminine perseverance. Result — pop — refill; Them gremlins (gremlins are always referred to as them , denoting their nameless power) enjoy gnawing; they love to eat. This penchant is accounted for by the fact that they are of small size. They have a secret desire to grow, but in their evolution they have remained midgets in size, probably as a result of atrophy. Dental gremlins are approximately the size of the pulpal horn of the mesio-buccal cusp of the upper first permanent molar. The leader uses this horn for his lodging; other horn-gremlins encyst themselves in the pulp horns of various other teeth. Case 3 — The Problem of Sudden Acute Salivation Again, the gremlin. The sublingual gland is the Riviera to the pleasure-minded gremhn. After a little dirty work, the d.g. enjoys a bath in Wharton ' s duct. Their stamping and gremancing (gremlin for jitterbugging) causes an overflow of saliva which occurs during the condensation of amalgam in a lower molar. Result — refill!. Case 4 — The Problem of the Lost Finger Rest The reason for this bit of unintentional surgery is simple enough — that ' s right, the d.g. Them d.g. ' s enjoy nothing more than a good old-fashioned tug-of-war, with the operator ' s finger as the rope. The pleasure they evince is equally as joyful to them as the resulting mutilated tissue is painful to the patient. Case 5 — The Problem of the Mysteriously Appearing Shy Margin Elementary, dear fellow, elementary. Again it is the prolific appetite of the dental gremlin. The feather edges of a well-burnishd gold foil are a gastronomic delicacy to the d.g. gourmets. Result — shy margin! Case 6 — The Problem of the Thermog The thermog, or high heat dental gremlin, is the first cousin of the ordinary d.g. His habitat is exclusively the laboratory. The thermog nuisance is usually centered around hot inlay rings. He enjoys throwing tiny bits of plaster into sprue holes, causing serious bubbles. Quite often he jumps onto the wax pattern while it is being painted, remaining just long enough to cause insufficient coverage. Other typical pranks of the thermog are: migrating into acrylic cases during curing, causing porosity; stopping up bunsen burners; gremancing in slow setting plaster, causing a quicker set. By consideration of the data in the aforementioned cases one can readily see that the dental gremlins are menacing our profession. Our research has not yet found the answer to their destruction. They must be eliminated. But how? We don ' t know. Dr. Black doesn ' t know. Dr. Randolph doesn ' t know. Dr. Grempler doesn ' t know. Do you know? We quit! Submitted by the prospective greminology authorities Robert Kahn and Robert Bernert Paf c Srveuty-aix X7E believe there was never a rogue ' s gallery unveiled to reveal such notorious characters as are seen below. These nefarious creatures have just recently been exposed and are definitely believed to be in cahoots with others, such as the fiends oper- ating against the R.A.F. (the gremlins) and radio announcers (the grohms). After years of painstaking espionage, the causative factors of specific acts of skullduggery in the dental clinics have been unearthed. We classify the entire group of dental gremlins as DENTOGHOULS. Get out your picks and elevators when this scoundrel, the APEHEX, dances on your forceps. You can ' t see him, but if the root tip remains this is the bum who cut it off. Filth is the progeny of this rascal, DOITYDIGIT. In spite of the care you take, he inspires accumulation of pumice, dust, blood, etc., on your fingers. This Ail-American drip, the DROOLYFOON, has phenomenal power over salivary secretion. Fa- vorite habitat: Children. Ever con- dense an inundated amalgam? De- luge is the Droolyfoon ' s delight. SPATULOMINX lives in cans of control powder. He contami- nates it in such a manner that a sudden quick set occurs during spatulation. Keep ' em fumbling is the slogan of MR. FINGERFIZZLE. His influence gives you that all- thumbs feeling with that inlay or full upper wax-up. He can give butterfingers to the most adept. This innocent-looking little pixy, I. GOTTAGO, inspires children to answer nature ' s call more frequent- ly than necessary. This results in a very interrupted session with the brat. i o ff aceviNi When that inlay just won ' t seat properly maybe it isn ' t your technic to blame, after all. This bit of sor- cery has been traced to the VEX- ILLION, who roams pulpal walls waiting to block your inlay. If the RUMORRAT had his way, your diagnoses would forever be a humiliation. His tidings are truly diabolical; stick to what your textbook says. fa c Seiriily-svirn 6 = o M s o w O -d = J3 C _ C o 3 S O c ■5, X j: rt -d u E 3 -0 -a rt aj u X -C - OJ T3 W rt a g 4- d s S a. -a to 4- -Q 4-J 1 OJ (yi _J3 o_ t 5 ■M 4-1 p 4- ■(- CO rt l rt =3 p:i 1-1 tlj W eq Q o XI c o -o o =: _c ■5 ij C ■f 3 rt . u , , c CO tj -C J3 H H Oi o o ex to o o o W P o XI E CD U Q 3 O ; s 60 t -J— u rt O 3 o o Q - c ' So rs E 3 m O ' 5b c u O O ( O C 5 ho d x X! 3 =3 -C O H u 3 n - ■1- ' to rt 3 .2 l 5 3 o O c X W H o d S-,-0 rt o o E 5 3 .--0 c o X 60 J-. j: CO CO c s o u w ft Prf f Seventy-eight 3 V- 1) -J-H M T :3 -C !-i a- X3 ■5 4-i 3 4-) CO W) CJ J3 !-i rt bO dJ ; .

Vage Eighty (John Paul: John Paul ' s Book: Moral and Instructive Consisting of Travels, Tales, Poetry, and Like Fabrications. Hartford Chicago, 1874) . The dentists have been here in force. It is a mistake to suppose that they came to examine the case of false teeth of which mention was incidentally made, and too much stress cannot be laid upon this fact, as a mistaken impression to the contrary seems to have got abroad. They came only to hold their nineteenth annual Convention, and met at Saratoga in consequence of its fitness for a regatta course. The proceedings of the Convention were so eminently interesting that an informal or dentiformal account of them may not be uninteresting to liberal minded readers. After prayer — never neglected by annual conventions, which makes it to be regretted that they don ' t meet every day in the year — ;poetry was announced to be in order, and a poetic tooth-puller by the name of Ambler came amb- ling in on his Pegasus, and got away at the dropping of the flag — sweet flag, which, compounded with a tincture of myrrh and bitter aloes, makes an excellent dentrifice. Want of space prevents my giving the poem entire. But I ' ll outline if I do not line it for you, and the rest you can get at by a process of ratiocination if the alveolar one fails. It did not begin after the style of the watercress vender ' s song: — Buy my bi-cuspids, buy, buy, buy; my fresh bi-cuspids, by the by, though it might have done so; the Doctor went along at a hand gallop, and showed excellent time considering the condition of the track and the fact that he got none of the gate money; and it was remarked that few could have made a better string under — pardon me, I ' ve got the dental convention all mixed up with horse-racing and rolling ten-pins. So I will simply give the concluding lines of the poem, which ran, or ambled, as follows: — Union! heart and hand and grinders. For the good of all mankinders. The poem was much applauded by the profession, and the President remarked at its conclusion that he was filled with gratitude — a much finer filling, to his thinking, than gold. After the meeting was again called to order by the rap of an automaton mallet . Dr. Wrenlace, taking his cue evidently from the President ' s remark, arose and demonstrated the manner of amalgam filling — which the uninitiated reader must not for a moment confound with amalgamation feeling. After Dr. Wrenlace had told how the filling might be put in. Dr. Treeters of New York got up and told how it might soonest be taken out, giving it as his earnest conviction that any dentist who in this nineteenth century uses such a relic of barbarism as the combination of quicksilver and ironfilings , known to the profession as amalgam, cement, or platina fillings, deserves himself to be drilled just back of the ear with one of those infernal buzz- saws lately introduced into dentistry under the name of mechanical drills, have the cavity scraped with a coal- shovel, and be finally plugged with a set of forceps shot from a musket of the army pattern. In illustration of his theory he narrated the case of your correspondent, who was once accused of neuralgia by several dry nurses of the Wickes pattern with doctors ' diplomas, and sentenced to go for a month ' s recreation shoot- ing and fishing in the country, with two ingeniously constructed galvanic batteries, technically known as amalgam fillings, in full play in his mouth, only reprieved at the last moment by that apostle of humanitv. Dr. Theodore G. Thomas, who ordered him to stay at home and have the fillings out at once, th us saving his life though not his reason — in proof of which statement in its entirety — the hfe and reason part — have you not these writings? But if I succeed in preventing one single human creature from being persuaded over, under any pretense whatever, to an amalgam filling, I shall feel that I have neither suffered nor written in vain — in this vein, I mean. And now Dr. Mills — who believes that grinders should be made to grind slow but exceedingly fine, like the mills of the gods — read an essay on the subject of Salivary Calculus. Owing to a slight pre-occupation caused by the reflection that it was near dinner-time, I did not succeed in following his train of reasoning so closely as I hope to on another occasion; but the general summing up would lead one to believe that it is next to impossible to calculate or attempt to calculate the exact amount of saliva, which the average American gets rid of to the hour when in good condition. The question whether aching teeth or gunpowder had caused most misery to the human race, elicited a deal of discussion. The profession seemed divided in opinion. One delegate, a dentist from Dunkirk — tooth-puller in ordinary to the Administration, and a member of the Dent family, of course — thought the pangs of toothache had been much exaggerated; he had rather have a toothache any day of the week and any hour of the day than lose office, and he commented very severely on the want of fortitude exhibited by those who make a mountain out of a mole-ar ill. Next came a paper on continuous gum work, and there was an evident disposition to give Dr. John Lalen credit for preeminence in this line. Indeed it is not improbable that Dr. Lalen would have carried off the belt had it not been suggested that the most continuous gum work is done by those members of the community who contrive to get along without any work at all — relying for their living on one continuous gum game through life. The Executive Committee at this moment reporting an assessment of two dollars each on all present, to defray expenses, an immediate motion for adjournment was heard from all parts of the house. And it being evident that the Ayes had it and the Noes were nowhere, some one sprang to his feet and made himself the mouthpiece of the meeting by moving that they go over to the Grand Union and dine at the expense of the hotel, which motion was carried without a dissentient voice or the consent of the proprietors. After a careful examination of my report, I find that I have splendidly succeeded in telling very little as it actually occurred, and if this does- not bring me a permanent situation as reporter, it will only be because a genius for inven- tion is not so much appreciated by the Great Moral Organ as by some other journals. A few things, however, I will stick to as having got down right. First: there was a Dental Convention here. Second: two dollars was assessed on each member. Third: they dined at the Grand Union. Fourth: any dentist who uses an amalgam filling in the mouth of a patient deserves to be bitten to death (in the back) by the envenomed teeth of a gigantic shrimp. Piigc Eigh y-oiu- JbwiheA VfWiAxy-fi Q ap Reitman to Dr. Anderson: The mouth was edentulous for the simple reason that the teeth were extracted. On all appropriate occasions, Karesh defends the honor of South Carolina concerning pellagra, fluorine water, the boll-weavil, etc. Freshman to freshman (in Dental Anatomy lab) : There ' s a scratch on your tooth 2cc ' s below the gii7gical line. Eavesdropping in freshman prosthetics lab at beginning of year, we heard: We don ' t have anything to do with teeth in this course. We make mouths. Could it be. Dr. Warner, that the three weeks of impression taking is slightly fatiguing to the agile minds of our neophyte dentists? We are still wondering what the junior could have been thinking of when, upon calling an instructor to examine a patient, he asked him, Does the ceiling of this cavity have the proper outline? Harold Doody Goodman still maintains that he cahn ' t help it if those Southerners cahn ' t speak correct English. We wish to state that it is definitely untrue that Dr. Grempler tears his gown by catching it on the rheostat. It must be the gremlins at work. Dr. James doesn ' t understand the language of the sophomore class. That genteel lady is still trying to find out how to ceraberize an endoform. Contrary to the opinion of various clinic patients. Dr. Randolph is not a commando in disguise. He ' s quite gentle in spite of his formidable appearance. We do suggest, how- ever, that he refrain from folding his arms as he surveys the clinic with that sweeping gaze. He does frighten some of our more timid patients! (Some of our students, too). The sophomore class, under continuous pounding by Dr. Preiss, has finally resigned itself to the fact that the six-year molar is the most important tooth in the mouth. Not that they have any choice in the matter — the pressure is terrific. We have word that the eminent Dr. Ben Dabrowski is known in military circles as the Brigadier General of Lombard and Greene Streets. Imagine the consternation of a certain senior whose prosthetic patient insisted upon referring to him as Dr. , while she addressed Dr. Gaver as Mr. Gaver. We still remember the time Kushner couldn ' t get a specimen foil checked off. The patient had poison ivy, and no instructor would even approach her.

Hollander Piigc Eig } y-foilr Ptfi ' f Ei hly-jiri auA cwte and xmK(Ky-nt6; oAj OJhjt yiUlUlUp L lUa aA (From The Southern Journal, Monticello, Mississippi, March 20, 18 52, originally published, as indicated by the first sentence, in the New Orleans Delta.) An incident occurred in this city on Wednesday last, which was at once so laughable and ludicrous, that we deem it our duty, as faithful chroniclers of passing events, to place it on record in the columns of the Delta, There is a distinguished Surgeon Dentist of the city, a gentleman who pulls and plugs the teeth of his patients on the most scientific principles, and who is at the same time one of the most ardent worshippers at the shrine of the Lone Star of liberty. Talk of Professor Anderson, the wizard of the North, and of the Acrobats at Dan Rice ' s circus; but their feats are nothing com- pared to those which our friend, the doctor, has been known to perform. Our next character is a live Mississippi Major, quaint of phrase and curious of expression. When he meeteth a friend, he drinks his health, and the health of his friend, and of his friends ' friends, and of his own friends, and of all their collateral, and inci- dental, and miscellaneous, and promiscuous friends, even to the third and fourth generations; and this he doth at least three hundred and sixty-five times a year, on an average! Now, the introduction of our third character we will defer for the present; he will appear in good time. But to come to the marrow of the matter, for, like the Usurper of France, we have heretofore been playing (about) the bony- part, we will state that on the morning aforesaid, the Mississippi Major, flushed with fever, entered the Doctor ' s reception room. How do you do, Major? said the Doctor — and How do you do. Doctor? said the Major. I ' m well, said the Doctor. I ' m d — n sick, said the Major. You haven ' t been drinking, have you, Major? said the Doctor. Not much. Doctor, replied the Major. Let me feel your pulse. Major, said the Doctor. You are feverish, that ' s a fact — put out your tongue. (He looks) Yes, you ' re right sick, Major. What would you say to have four of your front teeth pulled out? I think that would relieve you. Oh, I see, said the Major; you want to operate on me in spite to my teeth (the Major, in truth to speak, has an excellent set of Ivories — white and sound as those of an Ethiopian) ; but, he added, I won ' t stand it. Well, then, said the Doctor, suppose we treat your case on the Homeopathic principle, and give you toddies, which caused the fever, in small doses, for the purpose of allaying it? Well, Doctor, said the Major, I have no objection to that; I would rather take a dozen toddies than lose a tooth any day. Well, then, turn in there, said the Doctor, pointing to a bed in the room; but before you he down, take this, filling out an enormous go of brandy, which the Major medicinally made to disappear. Now, keep still there, said the Doctor; go to sleep, and when you awake, you will feel as well as ever you did. But the Major could not keep still; he could not go to sleep; grotesque looking little men, he thought, were coming up and laughing at him; old women with lone stars in their foreheads, were shaking their gory locks at him, and little fish with fiery tails were whisking them about his face. Sleep he could not, and hearing feet coming up the stairs, he listened with nervous attention, for he still had some method in his madness. Feigning to be asleep, he covered up his head and for the time kept quiet — as quiet as if he had undergone a mesmeric operation, though he was wide awake all the time. Now, the owners of the feet which he heard coming up the stairs, were the Doctor and a mattress-maker, whom he had sent for to measure the very bed in which the Major lay, for a new mattress to match; and it so happened that they were dis- coursing of a patient of the Doctor ' s, an acquaintance of the mattress-maker, who, a few days before, was conveyed to the Charity Hospital. So you don ' t think he ' ll live, Doctor? said the mattress-maker. I don ' t think he can, William, said the Doctor. I don ' t believe he ' ll be alive twenty-four hours. At this the Major pricked up his ears: the phantoms which troubled him had vanished, and believing that he was the subject of the discourse to which he listened, actual and immediate death began to stare him in the face. He drew the clothes from off his head without being noticed, looked out wildly and hurriedly, and covered himself up again. Well, the doctors won ' t cut up his body, as John Galpin does his sausage-meat! said the mattress-maker. Will they? Here the Major again, by a galvanic effort threw out his head, and again, in the intensity of his horror, drew it under the clothes. Why, WiUiam, said the Doctor, in reply to what fell from the mattress-maker, they will not, if I can. I say if I can, but I don ' t know how successful I may be; his teeth, though, I mean to have, certain. Oh! they ' re a splendid set; I have customers already for the four upper-jaw ones. You have, d — n you! thought the Major. He thought it but didn ' t say it, and, in thought, added, Why, I ain ' t so sick as all that. I know I ain ' t; and I know I won ' t die so soon, unless they Burke me, or give chloroform. Well, then. Doctor, said the mattress-maker, what would you advise me to do? Why, to have his coffin made as soon as possible, said the Doctor. Well, in the meantime I had better take the measure, said the mattress-maker, and out he draws his line, an d commences to take the latitude and the longitude of the bed. The Major could stand it no longer; he bolted upright in the bed casting a maniacal look at the mattress-maker and one of daggers at the Doctor. The mattress-maker drew back in affright, for he then for the first time knew that there was anyone in the bed; and he had no immediate desire to be strangled by a madman; and the Doctor did not know how to account for the insane look and indignant scowl of his friend. Clear out, you scoundrel, said the Major, staring at the mattress-maker, as he threw himself out of the bed. You ' ll take the measure for my coffin, will you! G — d d — n you! clear out, or I ' ll give a job to someone who ' ll have to make your coffin. And you, said he to the Doctor, you, that I believed to be my friend — you, too, conspire against my life! You want my teeth, do you? D — n me, I ' ve a mind to knock your teeth down your throat this instant. Now, I tell you, I shan ' t die; nor shall this scoundrel make my coffin although he has taken my measure. I reckon I have got his. Nor shall you have my teeth, any way you can fix it — that you won ' t. The denottnccment was now understood by the Doctor and the mattress-maker, and they were not long in convincing the Major of the error under which he labored. He took another toddy, turned in, had a good sleep, and awoke relieved from all the sickly fancies of being killed with chloroform, having his teeth sawed out, and being dissected by jiivenile Sawbones. 5INCE TH£ tM CHlNE aKC)K£ Ptigc Eighty -set c PiiSe Eighty-eight Page Eighty-nine • ••m V Old Qold . . .

Aisenberg, D.D.S., F.A.C.D. Ever since Dr. Aisenberg received his dental degree from the Dental School of the University of Maryland, he has been associated with the faculty of this institu- tion. Having graduated with honors in 1922, he taught histology, pathology and bacteriology, and a few years later estab- lished the Department of Oral Pathology. Professor of the latter course, Dr. Aisenberg still conducts classes in histology, pathology and embryology. Until a few years ago he also maintained a part-time practice, but relinquished it to devote his entire attention to teaching and research work. Dr. Aisenberg ' s interest in research dates back to his School days. Besides having had published various original papers in the leading dental journals, he has been Secre- tary, Vice-Chairman, and Chairman of the Research Section of the American Dental Association and Council Representative of the International Association for Dental Research. In addition to these important positions, Dr. Aisenberg is currently serving as President of the Maryland State Dental Association. Other organizations of which he is a member are Omicron Kappa Upsilon, Sigma Xi, Gorgas Odontological Society, and Alpha Omega Fraternity (Past Supreme Chancellor). It is with admiration and respect for him as a friend, teacher, organizer, and research worker in dentistry that we dedicate this volume to Dr. Aisenberg. ttffttttf tf t. i o zao 1 he Itinerant ' Dentist From the etching by W.

Page Nine ANESTHESIA: Three Eloquent Opinions William Henry Atkinson, prolific writer, successful teacher, brilliant orator, and great leader, at 1872 meeting of the American Dental Asso- ciation: I cannot give my vote to those resolutions [anent Wells National Testimonial Fund ] for reasons other than humanitarian. I think anesthesia is of the devil, and I cannot give my sanction to any Satanic influence which deprives a man of the capacity to recognize law. I wish there were no such thing as anesthesia. I do not think that men should be prevented from passing through what God intended them to endure. For these reasons I cannot support the resolution, though I am always ready to relieve a suffering family. My affections are with them, but not my higher nature. [The resolutions were adopted.] J. Foster Flagg, father of The New Departure : Anesthesia is death! Because it does not prove fatal every time, do not let us think that it is not harmful. It sows disease; it produces a condition favorable to such diseases as chorea and other nervous affections, which will unfit for business, society, or any of the active duties of life. The asylums are full of cases of these diseases. Men are innocently (rather than ignorantly) swung down to the jaws of death and back again. We have to do it, but it is little less than death. The patient is never the same after. James Truman, at the celebration, sponsored by the American Dental Association, of the fiftieth anniversary of the discovery of modern anesthesia, held in Philadelphia, December 11, 1894: When we contem- plate the past history of the world, the horrors of the battle-fields, the terrors of the hospitals, and the accidents of life, the mind falters in its attempt to grasp the aggregate of human misery. Who can translate this into words suitable for modern comprehension? This wail of the ages was voiced in the Garden of Gethsemane, when the Great Master of human thought, in anticipation of the cruel agonies of the cross, lifted up his voice and prayed, Father, let this cup pass from me! Eighteen centuries passed into oblivion with no response; but near high noon of the nineteenth, in the new world of Columbus, in a humble home in Hartford, there arose a still small voice sounding above this wilderness of suffering. It was wafted over the deep waters, echoed and re-echoed in joyous acclaim throughout the world: Lo, the cry of agony from the surgeon ' s knife is silenced forever. Page Ten FRESHMEN RECRUITS IN REVIEW In the blustery month of March, Baltimore opened its arms to 77 embryonic dentists. Numerous exam worries and uncertainty caused by rumors of the army taking over brought out the various eccentricities of our fellow students. To Demyan we entrusted our sundry cares; in Krumbeck, Jurkiewicz ' s protege, we found a definite talent for witty sayings; and from Joe Romeo Cappuccio we learned the best methods of wooing the fair sex. Time dragged by as we rotated our cuspids and spent sleepless nights over abdominal relations. July 2 finally arrived: for the Army boys it was camp; for the Navy, vacation! Reports still drift in from Mackler of the mysterious aroma of the mess hall kitchen; while McLean assures us that he, under no circumstances, bought the top-kick chocolate milkshakes in order to escape K.P. Finally, Tony Are you a student? Damiani ' s prayers were answered; and we returned with our helmets, privates 7th grade. At this time, the Navy boys were sti.l receiving clothesbrushes as a substitute for wearing apparel. We have had our humorous incidents, but we are fully aware of the seriousness of our purpose in school; so it ' s study, work, and a salute to the Class of ' 45.! IW Sp ' ' ■■■■■- - « Ron 7 : A. B.

SAINT APOLLONIA There is a considerable amount of fearsome wonder to be derived from a belief in unseen supernatural powers of great might and mystery. Consequently it is not difficult to understand why quack tooth-drawers of bygone days, conscious of this human frailty, enveloped the tooth, and themselves, in a cloak of magical sham, via the medium of a saint, for the convenience of their own selfish ends. Today, with the development of dentistry as an art and science, the remnants of ancient superstitions bear little more than sentimental value. To modern dentistry such a link with the past is retained through Saint Apollonia, the patron saint of the profession. The story of Saint Apollonia goes back to 248 A.D. when the Romans, disdaining all that was not Roman, sent a poet to Alexandria to incense the people against the followers of Christ. The result of his propaganda manifested itself in bloody riots and brutal plundering which only those victims whose fidelity transcended fear of pain attempted to resist. Among the faithful was Apollonia, a virgin of advanced age, whose punish- ment consisted of imprisonment, the crushing of her jaws and removal of all her teeth. She was then led to a pyre in the suburbs of Alexandria and threatened with death in the flames if she did not renounce her religious tenets. Without replying, she cast herself into the fire and died a martyr ' s death. Apparently, this is the most widely accepted tale, although there are numerous others. As might be expectd, subsequent versions suffered distortions and alterations so that we find Apollonia described elsewhere as the offspring of ancient kings, a girl hardly ripe for wedding, in the blossom of her youth, and as the possessor of great beauty. Actually, her parents are unknown, and she was quite advanced in years at the time of her martyrdom. In similar fashion, the legends of her martyrdom become more elaborate. Thus, we have Saint Apollonia, her tongue cut out, thrown to the lions prior to the destruction of her jaws and teeth. While being tortured, Apollonia prayed to the Lord that all who should suffer from toothache should be eased of their pain on mentioning her name. In Europe there are numerous statues and relics of Saint Apollonia. The ninth of February is dedicated to her by the Church, and in Bohemia those who fast on that day are supposed to be free from toothache for the ensuing year. Her relics are highly esteemed for the therapeutic value they are reputed to possess. Various cities and churches have ceremonies on her holiday, and in Rome poor girls are given clothes. At one church, a sufferer deposits the spoon with which he usually eats, at the foot of a statue of the saint. Not only is Saint Apollonia the benefactor of those afflicted with dental discomfort, but she is also the patroness of the practitioners of the dental art and science. This latter relationship was more intimate of course when the practice of dentistry was more magic than science. Today Saint Apollonia holds little more than historical interest for the members of the dental profession.

GRIEVES LIBRARY FOUNDATION LIE 1 . - ' ' - ' ' BU.T.MORE OOUJME Of DEN -rAL SURGERY Seventeen years ago the Dental School Library began operation as a separate library. Seventeen years of careful purchasing and generous gifts by alumni and friends have made our library one of the most complete collections of dental literature in the country. Funds have been devoted to the maintenance of an up-to-date working collection as well as to the development of a large historical collection, until we now have an out- standing library of ten thousand volumes covering all phases of dentistry. The earliest printed book in our collection is dated 15 00; the latest came off the press only last week. The dental student of seventeen years ago did not have such a library at his disposal, whereas today ' s student takes for granted a good library as a necessary part of the school ' s equipment. Here at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery he has one of the finest and best organized of any in American dental schools. From the time he struggles with anatomy atlases until he completes his senior thesis, the good student is a constant user of the library. Last year use of the Library totaled 18,114 volumes, as compared with 704 volumes in 1927-192 8. The wealth of the Library ' s resources and a competent staff account for much of this increase in use. A very vital factor, however, has been the growing emphasis of tjhe faculty upon a broader knowledge than that to be obtained from one textbook. Today no student leaves our school without having some comprehension of the extent of dental publications and an introduction to the literature of the history of his profession. There can be no doubt that the Library has an important role in the education of the student of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. Vagc Twenty-two BALTIMORE OOLLEG DENTAL SURGERY JUNIORS FORWARD, MARCH As is true of all incoming juniors, our boys were eager to take that first patient. Even before we received our clinic gowns, most of the juniors had one or more patients waiting. It was rumored for a time that Miss Brady was petitioning for a gendarme to quiet the furore in the waiting-room. In spite of this mad rush on the part of the juniors, however, a quorum could always be found in Mourners ' Row. We ' re in the Army now! In the first week of July, we became privates, had a taste of camp life for a few days at Fort Meade, and then returned to school enrolled in the Army Student Training Program. We must have been good soldiers, for only one month elapsed before we were raised to the rank of privates first class. What a dash there was to sew on the stripes! And what moans of envy were heard about the school when the Navy Seamen strutted in with Ensign uniforms! For a while it seemed as though the Navy men were becoming fashion models; each week different uniforms were issued. The competition is still mighty keen between our Army and Navy men. Ushered in with the army changes came the ever lengthening list of those members of the class who ventured forth in matrimony.

The rest of us join in congratulating and wishing them health and happiness. The entire class was deeply grieved by the untimely death of one of our outstanding and most popular classmates, David Shapiro. He was a regular fellow whom everyone liked and considered a friend. His fine sportsmanship and congeniality were notable. Dave was a kind and soft-speaking person. Even at the most trying moments his clever humor won the admiration of those who were near.

Page Twenty- five Page Twenty-six BALT, DENTAL Si 3n jfWemortam David Baer Shapiro David Baer Shapiro was born in Washington, D. C, on September 26, 1921. He was educated in the elementary schools in southeast Washing- ton, and graduated from Eastern High School in June, 1939. During his senior year in high school, David decided to study Dentistry. To further his aim, he enrolled as a predental student at the University of Maryland, at College Park, in September of 1939. After two years of study he enrolled in the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery in Sep- tember, 1941. Here, his friendly manner and jovial outlook on life soon won him a host of friends. He joined the Alpha Omega fraternity in his sophomore year. David was always eager to try something new. His favorite sport was golf, with ping-pong and billiards running close seconds. He was also a great sports fan. David successfully negotiated all the pitfalls of the first two years of dental school, and entered his junior year enthusiastically to put to practice his technical skill. He enlisted in the Army on July 2, 1943, with the rest of his class. On Tuesday, July 13, 1943, he died. Although David left us early in life, he will live in the hearts of all those who knew him. Page Twenty-eight LIBRARY BALTIMORE COLLEGE OF DENTAL SURGERY SENIORS Karl F. Grempler, D.D.S., F.A.C.D. Honorary President ON PARADE Seniors at last, we think our worries are over. They aren ' t. Orthodontic models? What trouble are they? Any senior can make a decent set of models (after the tenth try). Worry about the Dean ' s paper? My dear fellow, we ' re educated men. Only freshmen make mistakes in English. Isn ' t that right, Mr. Foley? Point requirements? Everyone should have a backlog of patients to carry him through the first semester; after that we shall have finished the operative requirements. The few specimens necessary can theoretically be done in a week or so with ease. We are certain to be through by vacation. Crown and bridge? We ' ll spend two or three weeks downstairs working on three patients at once, and we ' ll be through. Prosthetics? That shouldn ' t be any trouble at all; as seniors, we know the ropes. Senior thesis? We ' ll have the entire second semester to write a good one. BUT, those monthly interviews with Dr. McCarthy found us a little worried. The foil patients we had in line just didn ' t show up, inlay gremlins chewed our wax patterns, marginal ridges broke away from newly placed amalgams, broken appointments took their toll, bridges burned up in soldering. We were no different from our predecessors in that a thousand and one little things, that didn ' t have to happen, happened to upset our calculated plans. In the last few weeks, the automatic mallets in the clinic sounded like machine-gun fire, Lab E swarmed with seniors curing those last two cases, the Library was full each evening with seniors writing their theses and seniors re-writing their dental history papers.

Famulari, Jr., Sergeant -at -Arms Even though we worked harder and worried more than ever before, the opinion is that this year has been the most enjoyable of all. The Army and Navy programs, which provided us with tuition, pay, subsistence, and uniforms, were the innovation of the year. Vacation in August was a much needed break. On furlough, we had the pleasure of traveling for half-fare in uniform and not having people ask us if we were 4-F, draft dodgers, or in the F.B.I. As the first class to graduate in uniform, the first class to accelerate appreciably, and as dentists who expect to see action in this war, we review with pride the time and effort spent in achieving our purpose. We entered to learn; we go forth to serve. Stanley ' H.

Page Fifty-eight ORGANIZATIONS GORGAS ODONTOLOGICAL SOCIETY Ferdinand James Samuel Gorgas was born in Winchester, Virginia, on July 27, 1834. His early education was re- ceived in Pennsylvania, his dental training at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery from which he was graduated in 185 S. Two years later Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts. In this same year Dr. Gorgas accepted a position on the faculty of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery as Demonstrator of Mechanical Dentistry. By 1860 he was appointed Professor of Dental Surgery, and in subsequent years he also taught Pathology and Therapeutics. Dr. Gorgas was a teacher, but he was also a student in the full sense of the word; for it was during the early years of his professorship that he enrolled in the University of Maryland Medical School. He was graduated from that school in 1863 and two years later assumed the Deanship of the Ba ' timore College of Dental Surgery. Dr. Gorgas also played a contributory part in the fie ld of dental literature. He wrote the first textbook on Dental Medicine to appear in th ' s country. He edited the American Journal of Surgery, revised and expanded upon Chapin A. Harris ' Dental Dictionary and Principles and Practice of Dentistry and put through numerous editions of these textbooks. When the University of Maryland established a Dental Department in 18S2, Dr. Gorgas was named Dean and Professor of Prosthetic Dentistry, Dental Medicine and Therapeutics. He retained this chair until 1910 when sudden illness forced him to relinquish his position. The Society which bears his name was founded in 1916. At that time its purpose was to encourage those who sought more knowledge, to activate a wider understanding of the problems of dentistry, and to improve the stand- ards of professional relationships. For a short time the Society flourished, but suddenly it became inactive. In 1926 Drs. Walter Oggesen and H. Plaster revised the constitution and made the Society an honorary one. They also designed the key awarded to those accepted by the Society. Not only must the candidate for admission meet the scholastic requirements laid down by the organization, but he must also display superior qualities of character and professional integrity.

By means of photography, art, and moulage, dentistry and its related sciences are clearly and graphically illustrated. Through the use and correlation of visual aid materials, the rate of learning is accelerated and definitely made more interesting. In allied branches of photography and art, the department has furthered the preservation of irreplaceable historic material of interest to the dental profession. It is the purpose of this depart- ment, through careful planning and controlled expansion, to advance the standards of visual education as applied to dentistry. Page Seventy-eight ■mm Lll BALTIMORE O DENTAL SUi. FEATURES A conversation with Dr. Kyrlc Preis, at the conclusion of the sophomore lectures on Orthodontics, revealed the possi- bility that the student about to enter the clinic for the first time may be unprepared to meet his patients on a good psy- chological basis, and so, although we realize that requirements limit the student in the conduct of his clinic practice, we present Dr. Edward J. Ryan ' s questions. TEST YOUR DENTAL PRACTICE HABITS 1. Do 1 fail to identify people and to call them by name? Do I excuse myself for not recognizing people with this lament: I can ' t remember names, but I remem- ber faces. 2. Am I less precise in my record and bookkeeping sys- tems than I am in my technical procedures? 3. Do I actually use a patient recall system continuously and effectively? 4. Do I frequently suffer from these maladies: Buccal cacosmia? Hircismus? 5. Do I let my patients make their own diagnoses and prescribe their own treatment? 6. Do I engender fear and apprehension among my patients by any of these acts: A. Do I sometimes practice the technique of the spear carrier and the bubble blower; that is, am I guilty of holding the hypodermic syringe in front of the patient and expelling bubbles from it? B. Am I guilty of thrusting hot, gooey impression materials in the mouth without warning? C. Do I leave my patients to drown in their own spittle while I crack jokes or engage in long tele- phone conversations? D. Am I a dental exhibitionist: Do I clatter and rattle and make a great display of extraction and surgical instruments before the patient? 7. Do I sometimes arch my eyebrows and shrug my shoulders when looking at a dental restoration, and comment significantly, Who did that} Have I forgotten that part of the Oath of Hippocrates which has to do with wagging tongues and scandal- mongering among professional men? 8. Do I ride any of the following topics too hard in chairside conversation? a) politics? b) religion? c) personal success? or personal prowess? d) personal defeatism? e) boasts about my children? f ) my own hobbies and interests rather than the patients ' ? 9. Do I ever practice price-cutting to gain acceptance of my service by a patient? 10. Do I sometimes fail to remember that people having the dental experience have two fears: the fear of price as well as the fear of pain? Do I attempt to impress on patients that Dental Neglect Costs More Than Treat- ment: In Pain; In Time; and in Money? 11. Do I treat my long-time patients as well as I do new patients? Are my examinations and treatment- planning as carefully done for old patients as for new ones? 12. Am I a psychic dentist who looks at the shape of a patient ' s head or the cut of his clothes and thereupon practices crystal-gazing to determine what evaluation the patient places on his teeth? 13. Am I always careful to tell each patient what his condition is, what can be done about it, and how much each type of service will cost? 14. Do I examine mouths and arrive at a diagnosis without the use of X-rays? Am I a curb-stone or a pick-and- poke diagnostician? Page 15. Do I attempt conscientiously to correct medical and health misconceptions? Do I live up to my title of doctor (teacher) ? Do I practice, day in and day out, chair-side patient education? Have I fallen too far behind in my reading of the dental and related medical literature to attempt to keep abreast with advances made? 16. Do I attempt to practice without a dental assistant? Am I my own bookkeeper, receptionist, office-house- keeper, telephone operator — all these at the same time that I am a technician and a dentist? 17. Do I spend my leisure office time productively? Do I sit in the reception room in shirt sleeves, reading a paper and smoking a black cigar? Am I a more familiar figure at places of loitering and gambling than at dental meetings, clinics, and study 18 19. 20 21 25 :lubs Am I a shirt-sleeve operator? A saver-of-laundry bills? Do I ever appear before my patients clothed in vulcanite dust, blood stain, and wax speckles? Am I without any appreciation of the value of patients ' time, and keep busy men and women waiting in the reception room long after their scheduled ap- pointment? Am I a crying example of dental neglect in the form of clattering full dentures or frank clinical caries or gaping spaces in my mouth? Am I my own worst testimonial of good dental care? Do I give the little woman the dental attention that she requires? Are there any cement fillings in my wife ' s mouth at this moment? 22. Do I shun the care of child patients? Am I aware that children can refer adults for treatment? 23. Do I listen to the recitation of complaints patiently? Do I try to out-complain my patients? Do I whistle while I work, or hum, or otherwise show my bore- dom with the patient and his recitation of his woes? Do I give patients a lift or do I have a depressing effect on them? 24. Do I apply semantics in my practice? Do I frighten patients and deprecate the profession with expressions, such as: You need a dummy. I will make you a saddle (a ' skeleton ' or a thetic ' ) . You have leaking fillings. I ' ll just give you ' a prick with the needle ' ' whiff of gas ' or ' freeze your gums ' ). Where ' s my ' bed-bug file ' (or ' bayonet ' or ' hatchet ' ) ? Well, we ' ll just ' chop ' (or ' cut ' ) this away a bit. Do I disconcert patients by failing to make my utter- ances heard at all? Do I startle patients with my shouting? In other words, how are my dental manners? Do I believe that in dental practice the professional ideal is the prevention of dental disease and the eco- nomic ideal is the prevention of misunderstanding? syn- (or Eighty Hate I been giving to Dentistry as much as I have expected from Dentistry?

BS.Lavine Page Eighty-one From BIG SANDY, (Henry Holt Company) Bv Jean Thomas, The Traipsin II oman Not all judges sit in stern judgment upon the prisoner at the bar of justice, nor do they all scowl down on trembling, fearful children who for one reason or another are brought into court. When Judge George C. Bell of the County Court of Boyd County passes sentence upon an offender, even if it chances to be a gray-haired man, so concerned is the judge that the accused shall leave his court room in the right frame of mind, he removes the lid from a glass jar which he always keeps upon the bench, takes out a red-striped stick of candy, and hands it to the accused with the words: Eat this, my friend, so you will leave with a sweet taste in your mouth. Whether he is of a mind to or not, the sentenced person invariably smiles. It may be a wry smile, slow to spread over a grim face, but it is a smile after a fashion. Before going on the bench, Judge Bell was a practicing dentist. He made his rounds through the hills, carrying his instruments in a leather bag, until he had earned enough to set up an office. More than once a sufferer from toothache came hurrying down a lane, holding a swollen jaw. Doc! Doc! the man would shout, have you fetched your drawers? And then and there, by the roadside, Doc Bell would open the leather bag, take out his forceps, and extract a tooth. The patients paid him with whatever they had; a couple of frying chickens, eggs, a pat of butter; sometimes they gave Doc rare treasures: petrified flowers, arrowheads, a tomahawk dug from an Indian mound; once a grateful patient gave him a flint-lock gun. Through his wanderings in the hills, George C. Bell built up a wide acquaintance, which he maintained after he had successfully established his offic e. When he announced himself a candidate for county judge, it came as a great surprise — particularly to Democrats, for Judge Bell is the first Republican county judge in more than a quarter of a century in Boyd County — but his friends were numerous enough to elect him. His campaign was as original as the rest of his career. He capitalized on his name: on cutouts in the shape of a bell he had lettered the words: DR. BELL THE DENTIST Republican Candidate for County Judge These arresting paper bells dangled from thousands of trees all over Boyd County. Doc himself admits he clanged his clapper till he was hoarse as a frog. He won, and his terms have been distinguished enough, not only to gain him re-election, but to win him invitations to appear on radio programs. He admits that when he faced the microphone for the first time in his life, on We the People in New York City, he could not have been more frightened than if he had been before a judge on trial for his life. Fellows, he told his cronies at the courthouse afterward, my knees knocked together and my tongue clicked against the roof of my mouth, but no words would come out, ' till Gabriel Heatter smiled at me like an indulgent father. That loosed my tongue. Later he also appeared on the Hobby Lobby program. His decisions are often as unusual as the cases he tries. One I recall was the case of an eleven-year-old haled into court on a delinquency charge. Willie, the judge leaned over the bench and asked in a kindly voice. What made you drive your ma ' s calf to the county seat and sell it for fifty cents? Judge, the little fellow replied earnestly, I needed strings for my banjer. Let ' s see your banjer, Willie. Page Eighty-two Exhibit number one was produced and admitted as evidence. It was a homemade, hand-made instrument, the frame whittled out of a solid piece of white oak. The judge examined it himself. Whcre ' d you get the sounding head, Willie? I kctched me a polecat. Laughter in the conn embarrassed the boy and he explained hurriedly: I tani hide myself with lye, and seasoned it a mite with salt. The judge sniffed and smiled. A polecat hide it is, Willie, and I think you might have added another pinch of salt. But it is a nice instrument, and naturally you wanted strings for it. He dismissed Willie temporarily, and called a man before him. You bought a calf from this lad for fifty cents? I did, the new defendant answered sullenly. Were you aware, there was touch of sarcasm now in the judge ' s voice, that the boy was a minor? The defendant shrugged uneasily. Lots of kids has calves of their own. Their pa ' s give ' em to ' em. I ' ve boughten others. And did you think fifty cents a fair price? Again the man shrugged. He named it hisself. Did you consider it a fair price? I thought mebbe it was kind of a bargain. Are you prepared now to pay full value to the boy ' s mother for her calf? Yes, sir. The business was transacted then and there, a high price fixed by the judge and paid for the calf, and then the judge called the three parties, mother, son, and dealer, before him. Your ' bargain ' , he said to the dealer, has now become a rather expensive one. Let it be a lesson to you not to take advantage of minors. Play a shrewd game, since you must, but play fair. He turned to Willie. You ' re not the first person to sell what he never owned, Willie. But you see, such deals never bring a fair price and, besides, they ' re mighty risky. However, since this one is now satisfactory to both sides, this gentleman — indicating the dealer — is going to make you a present of your banjer strings as your commission. He turned to Willie ' s mother. If I were you, I ' d try to find a way for Willie to earn a bit of cash money in his spare time. A growing boy needs cash — not much, but a little — nowadays. The judge held out the candy jar to each in turn. Take one, he said, that you may know the taste of sweet in your life. Case dismissed. Judge Bell is a deeply religious man, and believes that only a minister of the gospel, regularly ordained and of dignified standing, should perform weddings. The marryin ' parsons and others with legal power to officiate at weddings took advantage of his self-adopted rule of not performing marriage ceremonies. It came to his attention that when cars with out-of-state licenses parked in the courthouse square and young couples emerged and made their way to the county clerk ' s office, street urchins lay in wait for their return. As the couple came out of the courthouse the urchins made a bee line for them, and the noisiest and most importunate would be seen leading the couple off to the parson who gave him a commission for each prospective bride and groom he could bring around. It was beyond the judge ' s jurisdiction to do anything about the marryin ' parsons. But it did not take him long to put a stop to the young runners who were commercializing what the judge considered solely a religious rite. Another famous decision of the judge ' s w as his punishment of the drunkard. The fellow was compelled to wear a whiskey bottle suspended from his neck by a string, but filled with harmless, and slightly bitter, tea. Under threat of a sentence at hard labor, he was obliged to drink of the tea whenever anyone looked at him, and he was required to remain in fairly public places. When the period of punishment was over, the man admitted he had been so plagued that whiskey had permanently lost its allure.

We felt that, sooner than abandon the Mirror, we would put out a mere mimeographed pamphlet. 1 lowever, investigation proved that there was still paper on which to print, there was still a cover to be had, some photographs could still be taken even though flash-bulbs were not available for our amateurs, and no one essential to winning the war would be inconvenienced by the publication. We ' ve had more than our share of difficulties, but we ' re not complaining, because we have immensely enjoyed this job, in spite of the drain on our energy and hard-pressed time. THANKS! Messrs. Paul Love, John Griffin, and Sidney Schultz, for your many swell ideas and helpful suggestions. Miss Caroline Towson, for your Saint Apollonia that makes our cover. Members of the Student Activity Council, for buying an excellent camera for our us;. My engineering friend, Alan L. Greenblatt, for giving up your vacation to rewrite and proofread copy. Drs. Harry McCarthy, Paul Deems, and Edward Dobbs, for your guidance in matters of business and policy. Mrs. Charlotte Davis and the Misses Elizabeth and Margaret Disney, Beatrice Marriott, Helen Brady, and you other members of the office and library staffs who were always willing to lend a helping hand.
