This 1959 DENTAL COLUMBIAN has emphasized the theme of change for the dental graduate. The search for progress and development recreates the basic truths of the natural sciences. In the students formative growth from the constancy of the inanimate anatomy laboratory through the diversified pathways of clinical medicine and surgery, there is ever the subtle effort to promote within him both a conservative and progressive attitude. The true lesson from our studies of health and disease has been the development of the professional concept. One that welcomes the new but measures it in the crucible of clinical experience. This concept creates judgment with its qualities of maturity, under- standing and integrity. The dental graduate of 19S9 will possess a discriminative aware- ness of clinical variations which will encourage his selection of the newer methods based upon the needs of the individual patient. Herein lies his and the dental profession ' s advancement. DR. ROBIN M. RANKOW preclinical sciences r m -. ROBIN M. RANKOW, D.D.S., M.D. Assf. Clin. Prof, in Oral Surgery W. M Copenhaver, Dorothy D.

The mystery of life, the human body and the attack upon it by disease gave rise to the practice of the arts of medicine and dentistry to preserve it. The ancient Eastern civiliza- tions of Egypt and Phoenicia first started the search for knowledge in order to relieve pain and then to restore the mechanism upon which the rest of the body depends for the primary preparations of food to be later digested and then assimilated. Although many of the fundamental principles of oral medicine and surgery have re- mained the same, advancement in scientific knowledge has become not only a necessity but a beckoning challenge. Modern medicine and science have increased the life span by a number of years. It remains for those who have chosen the lofty profession of dentistry to treat and preserve those specialized tissues and organs of the body, namely the teeth and their allied anatomical structures, to keep pace with these welcome and spectacular improvements. This can only be done by continued study, research and full support of teaching institutions which bear the bulk of the burden. Continued and increased financial aid to an Alma Mater will serve in the selection of better qualified students, teachers and admin- istrators whose common objectives are healthier bodies and minds.
