COLUMBIA ORAL ANATOMY f RAL Anatomy is the first course with which students of the Freshman year come into contact. Under the expert tutelage of the dexterous Dr. Moses Diamond and his assistants, the freshman learns to know the name and function of each ridge, each facet, and each curve in every tooth in the mouth. In short order, he becomes acquainted with the words digital dexterity, and is called upon to demonstrate his own aptness for carving, to measurement, exact duplicates of ideal teeth. This course consists of a series of lectures in the first and second trimesters during which the student is made acquainted with the developmental anatomy and relationship of the teeth. In the third trimester of the same year, and the first of the following year, each student is required to carve a full set of teeth from wax blocks. Several teeth are also carved from a bone-like material. Finally, the wax teeth are set up in a wax mandible and maxilla in perfect occlusion. MOSES DIAMOND, D.D.S.

COLUMBIA DENTAL HISTOLOGY AND EMBRYOLOGY T ENTAL Histology and Embryology, one of the most important dental subjects, is taught to students of the first year. Its effect upon the out- look of the student as he approaches his clinical work is of the utmost im- portance. Here, Dentists of the future are equipped with sound learning, and prac- tical knowledge, so that they may capably fill their positions in health science and in preventive dentistry. By means of a series of lantern slides, lectures and microscopic studies, the student becomes acquainted with the histological structures and the embryology of the teeth. Each student is equipped with a series of stained histological preparations. He is required to carefully study these and make topographical drawings of the structures seen under the microscope. In this way the student receives a thorough knowledge of the structural elements of the tissues upon which he will operate, plus the knowl- edge that he is working upon vital tissues which are an integral part of the human organism.
