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 OPERATIVE DENTISTRY VPERATIVE dentistry, it has been contended by many practitioners, con- stitutes more than half of practical dentistry. Realizing this future demand, the operative department, supervised by Professor Leroy L. Hartman, has outlined as thorough a student training as can be found in any similar department of any dental school. Primarily, a course in technic is prescribed. Proper cavity construction, proper instrumentation and sharp line angles and point angles are indelibly impressed upon the minds of the students. This work, done on extracted teeth imbedded in compound blocks, appears as neat and clearly cut as many photos seen in our dental magazines. Supplementing this technic a technical and biological treatise on root canal therapy is given by our specialist Dr. M. Buchbinder. Being thus fully equipped with the necessary technical knowledge the students are permitted to do work upon patients in our well equipped infirmary. The clinic floor is divided into sections so that the operators may secure the acme of instruction from instructors who specialize in the many branches of operative procedure.
