CHARLES NELSON JOHNSON HARLES NICLSON JOHNSON. M.A.. L.ll.S.. I'l.ll.S.. dental surgeon. author and journalist was born on a farm in Brock County. ilntario, fifty-three years ago, on March 16. 1860. Although a Canadian by birth. his immediate pro- genitors were born and spent their early days in Pennsylvania and Vermont. Une of his grandparents took an active part in the war of 1812. So, it is easy to account for this man's love for his native country and his loyal devotion to all things per- taining to the United States Government. His early education was 1'eceived in the rural public school near his liollie and he graduated from Port Perry High School in his sixteenth year. He immediately took up the study of llentistry in a practitioner's oliice in Port Perry and continued this relation until he entered the Royal College of llental Surgery. 'l'oI'o11to. in 1880. He graduated in 1881 receiving the l..lJ.S. degree and a gold medal given to the student making the highest general average in theory and practice, He began his pro- fessional career as a licentiate in Collingwood, Ontario. immediately following his graduation. Was married to Fannie Patterson. daughter ot' ltr. lilijah l'atterson. in 1883. They have two daughters. Mignon and Nclyon. The iirst position as a teacher he held in our school was that of demonstrator of anatomy during the term of 1886 and 1887: associate professor of operative dentistry in 1888 and 18891 professor of operative dentistry from 1890 to the present date. He received the degree of BLA. from the liake Forest University in 1897. as a public recognition of his literary talents, and he was made Student llean hy the Board of Directors of our College in the year 1906. Professor johnson has been editor of the Drzifal lt'c1'ii'ru continuously since 1902 and in this journal. which contains probably less than one-third of his professional writings for this period. one finds 51 papers and 359 editorials. He is a member of the National llental Association. ex-president of the Udontographic Society of Chi' cago, ex-president and member of the Chicago llental Society. ex-president and mem- ber of the Odontological Society of Chicago. ex-president and member of the Illinois State Dental Society and was its treasurer from 1900 to 1905 inclusive. He is a member of the Delta Sigma llelta Fraternity. He is the author of the t'Herniit of Nonquon . a work of iiction published in 1893, Poems of the Farm and other Poems in 1901. Success in Practice in 1903, Operative Dentistry in 1908. All of his literary work is accomplished at night in his study at his beautiful home located on the north side of Chicago at 6118 Sheridan Road. When reviewing the character and deeds of our eminent Student llean. we are inclined to believe that all impartial observers would wish to place Charles Nelson johnson as one of the just representatives of the Dental Profession's most brilliant members. a gentleman of broad culture and possessing exceptionally natural ability. Young in years, but old in professional experience and full of honors worthily won. a charming companion. a genial inspiring friend. a great intellectual and moral dental leader, even when judged by professional leaders of all times. and his true worth is best reiiected by his modesty. lVhen he appears before his classes. he is always listened to with aweeinspiring respect, because he asks of his students only those things which they know to be just. As a teacher he is clear. his comparisons are illuminating and convincing while his unlimited enthusiasm for his work and his absolute faith in the future of his pro- fession makes every worthy member of his classes grow to feel that it is a fine thing to be a good dentist, because a successful dentist. like our Student Dean. is a true beneiit to mankind. 171
