HENRY W. GILLEIT D.M.D. Professor of Dentistry WILLIAM B. DUNNING D.D.S. Professor of Dentistry JURISPRUDENCE AND ETHICS The history of dentistry is interesting and should be fascinating to the dental student. Manifest knowledge in this field may easily lead to increased respect from one ' s patients and respect begets confidence. Lack of it may easily result in a low estimate of a practition- er ' s intelligence. This however is not necessarily fatal to one ' s hope of success. Knowledge of one ' s legal responsibilities is essential for the safe practice of any profession. Every dental service is rendered under contract, either expressed or implied, to do certain things and not to do others. Since these contracts are mostly implied it is necessary for the young practitioner to know what responsibilities he automatically assumes and under what conditions the courts may im pose penalties if a complaining patient drags him into court. Malpractice is a terrify- ing word to a dentist and predatory patients and greedy attorneys abound. Ignorance here may blast a young man ' s hopes. Because of this contract, unpleasantness in one case and possible ruin in the other the major emphasis in the course is placed on Jurisprudence. PERIODONTIA HOUGHTON HOLLIDAY A.B., D.D.S.
