Asst. in Dentistry Pei ' iodon to logy A significant contribution to dental education during the past 50 years is the development bv a few dental schools of a better integrated teach- ing program between dentistry and medicine. This has resulted in a broader health service emphasizing preventive measures rather than corrective therapv. It has also become increasing- ly apparent that successful teaching and training in periodontologv are dependent upon, and cor- related with other subjects of instruction per- taining to oral and systemic health. Despite improved curriculum, adequate fun- damental information on periodontolooy is not taught. Further changes will be necessary before graduates will understand the basic principles of therapy and prevention of periodontal diseases. Frank E. Belibe Saul Schluger, D.D.S. Wm. A. Themann. D.D.S.

Stomatology The Division of Stomatology, comprising the Sections of Oral Diagnosis, Radiology, and Periodontology, has a number of func- tions. As its name signifies it is primarily concerned with teaching the science of the mouth and its diseases with emphasis upon the relationship to general body economy. The knowledge acquired during earlier years in the basic sciences is reviewed and utilized for the critical study of oral disease. Every attempt is made to correlate instruction current with the newer concepts and the philosophy stressed that continual study after graduation is essential for future progress. Through the Section ot Oral Diagnosis it also serves as an interdivisional consultant group and emergency station. It strives to bring about a closer alliance between divisions thereby strength- ening our teaching efforts. In addition to the scheduled undergraduate teaching, courses of instruction are arranged for all post-graduate students registered in the institution. Lewis R. Stowe LEWIS R. STOWE, D.D.S. Professor of Dentistry Diagnosis and Radiology It is with sincere gratification that we, the members of the Diagnosis and Radiology staff, have followed the gradual develop- ment of student interest and participation in the various courses under our control. Ease of digestion and assimilation of material brought about by proper emphasis on basic fundamentals and oral- systemic disease relationships can, in large measure, lav claim to this credit.

SAMUEL BIRENBACH, D.D.S. Joseph Schroff, 1897-1950 B.S., M.D., D.D.S. Assoc. Prof, of Dentistry Assoc. Prof, of Dentistry Oral Surgery Some phases of the subjects covered bv the Oral Surgery Division may be of merely cultural interest. The greatest por- tion, however, of the subject matter finds practical application in modern dental practice, the measure of application depending upon the proclivities and abilities of the individual graduate. Apparently the subjects covered treat in the main upon the biological phases of dental practice and the core of their content is lodged essentially in the basic and medical sciences. It is not intended to achieve complete instruction and train- ing in this area in an undergraduate curriculum. The com- prising subjects, because of their scientific and other ramifica- tions, constitute a lifetime study. Competence can be attained only through post-graduate study, well guided internships, hos- pital associations, and other available sources. The dental graduate who confines himself to the limitations of his office may be, in a limited way, a very excellent man but will not attain those important qualifications which are the hall-mark of a cultured professional man.
