LEWIS R. STOWE D.D.S. Assoc. Prof, of Dentistry DANIEL E. ZISKIN, D.D.S. Assoc. Prof, of Dentistry Oral Diagnosis Oral Diagnosis is of basic importance to the practicing dentist. It requires not only a famili- arity with the theories involved, but repeated face-to-face experience with their application. In the Oral Diagnosis Division we attempt to acquaint the student with the problem of diag- nosis and treatment planning as it will confront him after he has completed his training and is en- gaged in actual practice. Specific diagnoses have been taught him in various other departments of - i iHi SOLOMON N. ROSENSTEIN B.S.. D.D.S. Assistant Prof, of Dentistry EDWARD V. ZEGARELLI A.B.. D.D.S. Instructor in Dentistry the school. Prosthetics, periodontia, et al., have given him instruction pertaining to their subject matter. It is our task to correlate these independ- ent phases and to show how one disease may be distinguished from another. Knowledge gained in other courses, as well as new data, are utilized in studying individual parts for a clearer com- prehension of the mouth as a vhole. However, due to time limitations, only the groundwork can be laid. Proficiency in diagnosis must come w ith practice and conscientious adherence to the pre- scribed methods and routines. For this reason, I wish to stress particularly the importance of bringing into your practices the technics you have learned for making a diag- nosis. The methods, routines, habits, et cetera, in which you were instructed, were designed for use in your offices. They should not be discarded as institutional. D. NIEL E. ZISKIN JOSEPH A. CLTTITA M.S..

HENRY U. BARBER, Jr. D.D.S. Assistant Prof, of Dentistry EDWARD G. MURPHY D.D.S. Assistant Prof, of Dentistry The Division of Orthodontics in its relation- ship vith the undergraduate may be said to have a hvo-fold purpose. Primarily, its object is to teach to the dental student those orthodontic factors which should be included not only in his knowledge but in the exercise of his general practice. Heading these factors is the capability of early recognition in children ' s mouths of tendencies toward mal- occlusion, and thus die prevention of these ab- normalities. This responsibility to his patients lies in the hands of the general practitioner. In order to prepare him, the department provides lectures on foundational factors and theoretics, and seminar sessions of observation of clinical patients under treatment, with emphasis on pre- vention of the existing mal-condition. Secondarily, the object is to acquaint die stu- dent with the basal technics of orthodontics and to let him test his abilitv ' . which might perhaps GEORGE S. CALLOWAY D.D.S. Assoc, Prof, of Dentistry LEUMAN M. WAUGH, D.D.S. Professor of Dentistry Orthodontics arouse his interest and shoW ' his inclinations toward graduate study with a view to specializa- tion. For this, laboratory sessions are provided with technical demonstrations of fabricating simple appliances. These in turn are made by the students, and standard requirements must be fulfilled.
