In 1932 another eager and hopeful young dentist set forth from the Harvard Dental School with the degree of D.M.D. Dr. Maurice J. Hickey then completed a one year dental internship at the Presbyterian Hospital and immediately entered the Columbia Medical School and graduated in 1937 with the degree of M.D. After interning for a year at the Strong Memorial Hospital. Rochester, New York, he completed a two year internship and residency at the Presbyterian Hospital in gen- eral surgerv and surgery of the head and neck. Dr. Hickey joined the staff of Oral Surgery of the Dental School in 1938 as an Assistant in Surgery. In 1939 he became an Instructor in Oral Surgery, and 1945 Professor of Oral Surgery. In 1948 he became Acting Associate Dean of the Faculty of Medicine for Dental and Oral Surgery, and in 1949 Associate Dean. During World War II Dr. Hickey was Di- rector of Dental Service of the 2nd General Hospital of the U.S. Army and served over- seas in England through the rank of Colonel. At present he is a consultant in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for the U.S. 1st Army and the Veterans Administration. Dr. Hickey ? s interests are not limited to his profession and affiliations at the Uni- versity, hut run in various directions, mainly to the outdoors. He spends most of the summer months at his farm in Cooperstown, New York, where he mends the barn roof, repairs the back porch, paints the picket fence and digs the earth. He is also fond of fishing, owning an outboard motor and puttering around Lake Otsego. His remaining time is devoted to his wife and two children, a son and daughter. Recently he has purchased a miniature rail- road for his son, and has managed to attain the position of chief engineer on the Lionel Special. It is with the deepest sense of admiration and gratitude that this book is dedicated to Dr. Hickey for his unstinting efforts to for- ward the progress of dental education. His sincerity in the belief of integrity in dental education and his understanding of the stu- dent are qualities he possessed as an instructor and later as Professor of Oral Surgery. His office door is never closed to the student who wishes to see him, nor his schedule too crowd- ed to devote an understanding ear or to give heart-warming encouragement to the student who just wants to talk it over. His kindly and genuine interest in his students has been a source of comfort and great inspiration in the past and shall continue to be in the future.
