IN MEMORIAM DR. LEWIS RIDDEL STOWE Feb. 4, 1893 — Nov. 4, 1957 Professor of Dentistry D.D.S., F.A.C.D. Dr. Lewis Riddell Stowe was born in Rush City, Minne- sota. He attended school in Minneapolis and graduated from the University of Minn. Dental School in 1916. He volun- teered for the U. S. Army Dental Corps and served with our forces in France during World War I. Upon his return to civilian life, Dr. Stowe entered into private practice in Minneapolis. He established the first dental clinic for chifdren in the city ' s public school system, demon- strating his capacity for work and desire to serve the com- munity. In November. 1929. Dr. Stowe accepted an appointment to the clinical staff of the School of Dental and Oral Surgery and was assigned to the Division of Pedodontics. He rose to the position of full Professor and in 1948 was named Director of the Division of Stomatology. To add to his growing list of honors. Dr. Stowe became Director of the Hospital Dental Service in 1950 and consultant at the Bronx Veterans Ad- ministration Hospital in 1951, all while conducting a busy private practice in Riverdale for almost twenty years. Among his many credits were membership in Sigma Xi, Omicron Kappa Upsilon. the American Association for the Advance- ment of Science, and as a Fellow of the American College of Dentists. In 1951 the Board of Regents of the University of Minne- sota presented Dr. Stowe with its Outstanding Achievement Award in recognition of his work on the oral manifestations of childhood diseases. His tireless research, his devoted teach- ing, his many contributions to the dental and medical litera- ture, including his chapter on Oral Disease in Children which appeared in the Holt and Melulosh text on Pediatrics, attest to the deservedness of this award. But Lewis Riddell Stowe was much more than a practi- tioner, researcher, or teacher. He was a wonderful person — gentle, friendly to all, possessing a warm, infectious good humor. He was endeared and admired by all who knew him and his encouraging, sympathetic, and always helpful nature won the respect and the deep personal attachment of associ- ates and patients alike. He had an active, alert, ever-seeking mind possessed of the amazing ability to store its every experience, ready for instant recall. His capacity for absorbing and retaining the printed word contributed much to his conversational ability which was clear and descriptive, rich in content and diverse in scope. He was an active man, and he loved the great outdoors. Hunting and fishing were his favorite diversions, but he was also a licensed pilot and an avid reader of American History. No one can appreciate more deeply the loss of this keen mind and spirit than Dr. Stowe ' s widow, Felice, whom he married in 1926, as he was also a devoted family man, loving and loved. In the passing of Dr. Lewis Riddell Stowe, we have all lost a gentle and compassionate friend, a dedicated teacher and practitioner and a man of whom his family, his school and his profession can well be proud.

PREFACE Joseph C. De Lisi, DDS Faculty Advisor THE SIXTH SENSE Homo sapiens is not merely the title given to man ' s form and function. Man, himself, is more than the biological won- der of the animal kingdom. His rationality permits him to exercise judgement and to draw conclusions. His nature is such that he may or may not perform at his own discretion, according to his personal whim or design, knowledge or ignorance. What he does is distinguished from comparable actions of beasts in that he is endowed with a sense of respon- sibility and is governed by a conscience. Not all individuals are equally responsible nor do all pos- sess the same conscience. Perhaps the most responsible person in the world would be he who has the greatest knowledge conforming to Truth, the greatest intelligence and the greatest capabilities of correct thinking. By virtue of his mind and knowledge, both correct and true, he would be extremely responsible to the human society of which we are a part, and to which we elect to dedicate our efforts. Conscience, in addition to being something we must all live with, is in some respects like an electronic brain com- putor. It computes only on the basis of information delivered to it. The accuracy and reliability of the final computation is dependent upon the accuracy and reliability of the supplied figures. Conscience may govern personal behavior but be- cause conscience and values vary greatly throughout our world, there has been in existence a minimum standard of action or values, which is called natural law. All individuals of our human society are governed by natural law, whether they believe in it or not. The United Nations Charter and the war atrocity trials at Nurenberg following World War II re-affirm this principle. Moral law is merely an extension of natural law. It is not a minimum standard of values; it is a higher standard. The more we have, the more we are expected to give. This is well understood by those who pay taxes, but morally speaking, if we are capable of doing something well, we should not be satisfied with mediocrity. If we are capable of doing something neatly, we should not be slovenly. If we are capable of learn- ing more, we should seek the truth and not be content to await the malignant death of stagnation. If we are capable of becoming more skillfull we should nurture these poten- tialities for not all are so gifted. If we are capable of looking beyond the oral cavity, we should remind ourselves of the over-all dignity of our patients. There are times when a little kindness and a little compassion may result in more mileage than an atomic-powered submarine. If we are capable of rendering a higher strata of professional service, we should do so because nature has given to each of us a sixth sense — the sense of responsibility! Dr. Joseph C. DeLisi Faculty A dvisor
