Efficient, valuable, irreplaceable, ener- getic, and dynamic are but a few of the many words which have been used to describe Dean Robinson. Since 1924, when Dr. Robinson became Dean of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, he has been one of the most active contributors in the promotion of the dental profession. Dr. Robinscn was born on April 16, 188 3, near Clarksburg, West Virginia. He 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. He took post-graduate work at the University of West Virginia. After teaching mathematics in a high school in New Martinsville, West Virginia, for three years, he entered the University of Maryland Dental School. In 1914, as the Gold Medal Winner, he received his D.D.S. degree. He was immediately appointed to the Operative Departinent, where he remained until 1915 when he resumed private practice. Six weeks later, he returned upon the request of the School that he resume his duties as a member of the faculty. Dr. Robinson ' s activities have been so numerous that it would be difficult to name them all. His greatest honor, one that can be thoroughly appre- ciated by those not associated with the profession as well as by those who are, was his election to the Presidency of the American Dental Association in 1943. His keenness of mind, his remarkable energy, and his driving determination and am- bition for the promotion of dentistry have won for Dr. Robinson admiration and respect among all those who have known him. can DEAN OF BALTIMORE COLLEGE OF DENTAL SURGERY J.
