Ben Robinson has been an increasingl y valuable source of strength and inspira- tion to the profession. As the Dean of the School from 1924 to the present, he has established and maintained high standards of education and professional service in the world ' s first dental school. For many years, Dr. Robinson has been one of the most outstanding leaders in American dentistry. As a prolific writer, orator, and policy-maker, the Dean has been a stimulating and courageous figure to the students who have passed through the portals of the B.C.D.S. It was a monumental tribute to the leadership of this great man that in June of 1950 the dentists of the State of Maryland named Dr. Robinson dentist of the half- century (1900-1950) for the State of Maryland. To you, Dr. Robinson, the alumni and students express their inestimable gratitude for a good job, well done.

The editions of 1949, 1950, and 1951 congratulated and extended the gratitude of the students and alumni to fourteen men and women who have achieved membership in the Silver Anniversary group. The 1949 issue of the Mirror, which inaugurated the feature, paid tribute to Myron S. Aisenberg ' 22, Professor of Pathology, who has been associated with the faculty since his graduation; Grayson W. Gaver ' 22, Professor of Dental Prosthesis, who began his teaching career at his alma mater in October of 1922; George C. Karn ' 2 3, then Associate Professor of Oral Roentgenology, who served on the faculty from 1923 until his resignation in 1949; Harry B. McCarthy ' 2 3, Director of Clinics, who has taught at the B.C.D.S. since 1923; Mary C. Reed, Accountant for the Clinics, who began her career at the School in 1924; J. Ben Robinson ' 14, Dean, who was honored by students and alumni in June of 1949 in commemoration of his twenty-five years of service in the deanship; Nathan B. Scherr ' 22, then Associate Professor of Operative Dentistry, who began teaching Pedodontia in 1924; Katharine Toomey, Administra- tive Assistant, who is now in her thirty-sixth year of valiant and highly valuable ser- vice to the School; and B. Sargent Wells ' 14 then Assistant Professor of Fixed Partial Prosthesis, who taught from 1915 until his resignation in 1951. Three twenty-five year men were honored by the 1950 Mirror: Karl F. Grempler ' 24, then Instructor in Orthodontics, who taught from 1924 till shortly before his death on February 2 5, 1951; Guy P. Thompson, Associate Professor of Anatomy, who came to the University in 192 5 as Assistant Professor of Zoology; and E. Gaston Vanden Bosche, Professor of Biochemistry, who became a member of the faculty in 1925. The 1951 Mirror honored two members of the Staff of the School: Charles Leroy Deets, Preparator in the Anatomy Department; and Joseph F. Killian, Laboratory Technician. At the annual Class Day Exercises, it has been the custom of the graduating class to present each member of the Twenty-Five Year Group with a copy of the Mirror. The Mirror of 1952 wishes to congratulate the former and present members of this Silver Anniversary Group who have unselfishly and valiantly dedicated their lives to dental education. ■I 6f
