aw- '14 E TH'E DENTOS-1924 PLINY G. PUTERBAUGH M.D., D.D.S., F.A.C.D. Dr. Puterbaugh was born on the banks of the Wabash near Onward, Indiana, on February IO, 1883. His early life was spent on his fatherls farm and his ele- mentary and high school training was gleaned from the public schools at Onward. Although his mother wished him to receive a theological education, he entered the Chicago College of Dental Surgery in the fall of 1899 and graduated from that institution with the class of 1902. Dr. Puterbaugh returned to the Hoosier state and conducted a general practice of dentistry in the town of Kirklin. After a period of six years of successful prac- tice he realized that the future of dentistry demanded a more thorough training in the basic sciences. This realization lead him to abandon his practice and in 1908 to matriculate in the Chicago College of Nledicine and Surgery. Upon his graduation from medicine in IQI2 the Chicago College of Dental Surgery claimed his services. Since then he has been in continuous association with that institution in various teaching capacities, and in addition to this he has conducted a private practice that has been limited to Oral Surgery and the treatment of Pyorrhea Alveolaris. The doctor has served as an instructor in Anatomy, Oral Surgery, hlateria hIedica, and Therapeutics and has been Professor of Anesthesia, Radiology, and Principles of NIedicine. In addition to these various roles he has superintended the work of the clinical departments. WVhen the faculty was reorganized in 1919, he became the secretary. This position he now occupies, as well as that of Pro- fessor of hfledicine, Anesthesia and Therapeutics and Superintendent of the In- lirmary. Dr. Puterbaugh has been active in the dental societies of Indiana and Illinois, as well as in the American Dental Association. He has been called upon to perform innumerable services as officer and committeeman, and he has presented numerous papers before these organizations upon the subjects of Conductive Anesthesia, Pyorrhea Alveolaris, Oral Surgery and Therapeuticsf In recognition of his ability and of his meritorious work for the betterment and advancement of the profession he was awarded a Fellowship in the American College of Dentists by that body at their meeting in Los Angeles in 1922.
