COLUMBIA He agreed and subsequently found teaching so much to his liking that he has ' . ' en teaching ever since. Hi- entrance into prosthetics as a specialty is equally interesting. L ' pon graduation from dental school the operative phase of dentistry appealed to him more than any other but the fates decreed thai he specialize in prosthetics. In North Dakota then ' were at the time no more than forty dentists. This naturally gave little opportunity for operative work and a great deal for denture work. As a result the young practitioner concluded that he had better learn more a -■nit the work that was crowding his time. Being of a curious and mechanical nature he found himself more and more deeply interested in the specialty. His work has I n so successful and his knowledge so resourceful that he is now recog- nized as one of the leading authorities of denture restorations. In 191? Dr. Rowe was appointed a member of the Medical Advisory Draft Board. In 192G the Minnesota State Dental Society honored him with the presi- dency. He is a member of the Monson Research and Study Club of St. Paul. He is also a member of the Delta Tan Delta and Delta Sigma Delta fraternities. In 192? Dr. liowe was asked to become a member of the faculty of the School of Dental and Oral Surgery of Columbia University. He was appointed a Professor of Dentistry and assigned to the (. ' hair of Prosthetic Dentistry. This position he still holds. He is at present also, an Attending Dental Surgeon to the Presbyterian Hospital. In the teaching of prosthetics Dr. liowe is primarily interested in muscle action and balance. In this work he i more concerned with the biological applica- tion of the mechanical rather than the mechanical aspect itself. It is his hope to make these biological facts easily understood by the student of dentistry rather than something which is to be learned only through years of experience. The end of the present list of events that constitute the biography of Dr. Rowe has been reached but no biography written by one who is nut a close friend can accurately and capably bring out the inherent attributes of the man. Events are easily tabulated but the love and effection which the student body en masse holds Dr. Arthur Taylor Rowe is not so easily set into print. 1 utter the sentiment of the student body when I say we look up to Dr. Arthur Taylor Rowe as a teacher and a man.
