THE DENTOS The Foundation for Dental Research The Foundation For Dental Research of the Chicago College of Dental Surgery was established in the summer of l935, on a budget drawn against the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars or more a year. This amount was donated by a prominent Chicago philanthropist who wishes to remain anonymous. The Foundation is administered by a committee of eight, all of whom are members of our faculty. Dr. W. H. G. Logan is chairman of this committee, Dr. Coolidge vice-chair- man, and Dr. McNulty secretary. Other members are Dr. Puterbaugh, Dr. Kronfeld, Dr. Kanner, and Dr. Zoethout. The advisory committee is composed of the following men: Dr. Ludvig Hektoen, a scientist of world-wide reputation, editor of the Archives of Pathology and the Journal of Infectious Diseases , and director of the John McCormick Institute For Infectious Diseasesg and Dr. R. A. Kuever, Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Iowa. The Foundation has been most fortunate in being able to secure the services of Dr: Ruth Tunnicliff, one of the country's most illustrious bacteriologists. Miss Carolyn Hammond is bacteriologic technician for the Foundation. The technical part of tissue preparation is in the hands of Miss Maurine Willman. I Page20 CHICAGO COLLEGE

CLASS OF19 Probably the deepest and most abiding of all the experiences of humanity comes from the love of a man for a woman and a woman for a man. That seems to go farther in to the essence of human relationships than anything else in our existence. and it is really the bond that binds human kind together and keeps alive within us the incentives that prove the final sheet anchor of our faith. It holds in its keeping the greatest contribution to human welfare and human happiness. and it sweetens the lives of people more surely than any of the other experiences that come to us. Ol' course the felicities of the family circle are always paramount, the love of mother and child. of brother and sister, and all the wealth of affection that wells up about the domestic hearth. But next to this must be accounted the friendships that accrue to the members ofa profession. where in some respects humanity is seen at its best. I have i11 my mind today a vivid picture of two strong men in the professional world as one of them sat at the deathbed of the other. They were towering in stature and in mentality, and together they had fought the battles of life and death on many an anxious occasion. They were not always a unit in their opinions. but at the core they were staunch and unwavering i11 their friendship. and this had finally developed into a real affection. one for the otl1er. One of tl1en1 was lying ill with an ailment that both knew must be fatal. The well man came in tl1e room of his sick friend and sat by his bedside holding his hand. Little was said as the clock steadily ticked on the mantel. Both men in their professional lives had been somewhat dignified and far from effusive. Up to their latter days it had always been the surname that was used among their associates and friends. but today as the curtain waved gently at the window and the visitor turned to go with bowed head and moisture in his eye it was: Goodbye, Fernandm- Goodby, Frank. Something very precious in life had knit those two men together. and this is the bond that binds men one to the other in the professional world. when outside in the busy marts of trade we see so much that is merely struggle and strife. In every activity of our existence there are penalties and compensations. but profes- sional life holds 111ore of promise in its possibilities for happiness than can be gained in any other pursuit. The dental students of today have in their keeping a treasure house of opportunity on which they may draw for satisfaction and solace during all their future lives. and if they miss coming fully into the kingdom of their greatest felicity it will be solely because they have loitered by the wayside alld failed to faithfully fight the good fight.
