Division of Stomatology Subsequent to the last issue of the Dental Columbian, in 1948 to be exact, the Division of Stomatology was established. The former Divisions of Oral Diagnosis, Radiology, and Periodontia became sections under the new Division. The object of this consolidation was to improve the correlation between the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the oral cavity. It was also hoped that under the new organization more intimate participation of the members of the various staffs would be stimulated in teaching the important relationships between systemic and oral disease. The increasing number of patients with oral lesions of obscure or un- known etiology seen in our clinic makes such cooperation essential. Under (he new Division of Stomatology the valuable facilities of this Center can and are more efficiently utilized to the benefit of both student and patient. LEWIS R. STOWE Lewis R. Stowe D.D.S. Prof, of Dentistry, Head of Div. of Stomatology Diagnosis and Radiology Diagnosis has become increasingly acknowledged as the foremost pre- requisite for skillful practice in dentistry whether general or specialized. It is with this modern philosophy in mind that we have instituted and devel- oped a more basic and scientific approach to the study and diagnosis or the many diseases and abnormalities observed in and around the oral cavity. The dissemination of this attitude lo our undergraduate students has been facilitated immeasurably by Diagnosis Seminar instruction. With the emphasis on basic fundamentals, oral-systemic disease relationships and differential diagnosis, the recent research advances in the etiology, pathogenesis and therapy of specific diseases are most easily digested and assimilated.

Prof, of Dentistry, Head of Periodontology Periodontology During tiie past half-century, many advances have been made, through clinical and animal research, in the physiology and histopathology of the periodontium. But the status of basic methods of treatment for, and incidence or gingivitis due to local irritants, periodontitis and periodontosis has remained relatively unchanged except for refinement of instruments and technics. This is partly due to (he fact that these oral conditions have not been sufficiently prevented because the etiology of periodontosis is still unknown. Another factor which has aborted the control of gingivitis and periodontitis and maintained the status cruo of treatment, is the lack of information on the mechanism or the origin and formation of calculus. When etiological factors involved in these conditions become known, courses in periodontology will change from the present emphasis on remedial procedures to the teaching of preventive dentistry.
