This is merely an outline of the record and achievements of a man who has graced every activity of life in which he has been engaged. Dr. Grisamore has gone steadfastly on from one endeavor to another till he has become a real power in the profession. As will be seen, he has been entrustd with many positions of importance and responsibility and in every instance he has justified the trust reposed in him. He is quiet, unostentatious, painstaking and persevering. Give him a task and he is never content till it is finished, and it is invariably finished well. He is faithful to every obligation of life, and he never promised anything that he did not fulfill. Stable in character, affable in manner, pleasant in demeanor, consistent in devotion to what he believes to be right, he is one of the same and reliable men who today are building the superstructure of dentistry. As a teacher he is painstaking and faithful. He has a keen conception of his duty to the student body, and in important work connected with college management he is always broadminded, and constantly mindful of the welfare of the students. No boy can appeal to him in vain for counsel or direction, and his advice is always conscientious and for the student's good. His home life is most exemplary, and typical wholly of the best traditions of that essential unit of our American civilization and citizenship, the domestic fireside. All in all Professor Grisamorc stands out as a man among men, whether as officer of a society, as a practitioner, as a teacher or as a high minded gentleman. 8
