As individuals, we view the future with mixed feelings. Some of us, welcoming graduation as an emancipation from the daily chores and regimes which made up a large portion of our professional training, are eager to step proudly, and with confidence, out into the light of inde- pendence and responsibility. Other classmates may view these final days as the termination of a protected era. andjook forward with some trepidation to that life of decisions. Among us are also those confident that the education afforded them at Columbia has made them competent to cope with any situation they may confront in practice. Still others desire ( a firmer knowledge and wider experience in those fields which have awakened their interest, or further study in areas of Dentistry which they have not grasped to their satisfaction. We are indeed a mixed group in our plans for the future and our feelings towards our education as we have experienced it. From the beginning, the Class of 1960 was concerned with, and an integral part of, the educational evolution at the Dental School. This was first evidenced by the revised curriculum during the fresh- man term and continued in the following years, climaxed this year with the recon- stitution of the Dental School as a separate faculty. Now that we are about to graduate we are curious as to what the future holds in store. Looking back with perspective and noting the changes made in our own short student generation — advances not only in materials and techniques, but also growth in training and responsibilities — it is the inevitable conclusion that the Dental School will and must continue its growth to keep apace. Training the modern dentist, a dynamic process in itself, requires a large investment of time, energy and facilities. That Columbia is aware of its responsibility to the dental profession and the public it serves can be seen in the innovations of the past few years. We may envision this trend continuing in the future as well, and, as graduates, can contribute to this continued growth. Ten years from now the Class of 1970 will emerge with the degree of pro- ficiency instilled by their years ' of study. That calibre depends on the continued betterment of our school. We have seen these signs of improvement, yet, the future of dental education at Columbia is not determined by changes within the University alone. The responsibility for a dynamic school is a burden that rests also on the shoulders of its alumni. Let us not fail in our duty. 1 EDWARD HERZIG r r DEDICATION JOSEPH A. CUTTITA, A.B., M.S., D.D.S., Assoc. Prof. he class of 1960 is happy and proud to dedicate its Dental Columbian to Professor Joseph A. Cuttita. Ardently devoted to his work and to his students, Dr. Cuttita possesses the finest qualities of the teacher of dentistry. As a member of the Division of Stomatology, and particularly in his capacity of being responsible for the clinical teaching of diagnosis, he has repeatedly stressed the importance of accurate and thorough diagnostic procedures in dental practice. As a lecturer in Diagnosis, he has greatly contributed to our knowledge of oral disease. In his posi- tion as liaison between administration and students, and as faculty advisor to the Student Council, he has helped us resolve the many problems associated with student government. As coordinator of many extracurricular activities and events of special interest to us, his aid has been inestimable in giving encouragement and direction to our educational experience and professional development. We are confident that we also speak for those who came before us, when we express our sincere apprecia- tion for the intense and genuine devotion he has shown towards all students. Dr. Cuttita ' s contributions to dentistry are not limited to his position as associ- ate professor at Columbia. He is also a member of the American College of Dentists, O.K.U., the New York Academy of Science, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and other organizations in the forefront of dental research and education. He is a consultant with the Veterans Administration, and is an Assistant Attending Dental Surgeon at Presbyterian Hospital. Dr. Cuttita earned his A.B. from Fordham University in 1932, and an M.S. in Biochemistry from the same school in 1935. He received his D.D.S. from Columbia in 1939, and following a brief internship in the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, was appointed to our staff. Shortly thereafter he married his charming wife, Olga, and from this merger six beautiful daughters have resulted. For relaxation, the Cuttitas spend weekends and summers at their country home in the Poconos, where they enjoy some of the desirable niceties of life . . . horseback-riding, gardening ... in short, the good country life! We have indeed been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with and know such a fine and devoted doctor and friend. A Note of Appreciation. . . . Carl R. Oman, D.D.S. Prof, of Dent. Maxwell Karshan, Ph.D. Assoc. Prof. of Biochemistry n the eve of graduation each of the Class of 1960 has his own thoughts about the four years spent at Columbia. Even now, before entering the profess ional world, we begin to review the events and activities which highlighted our edu- cation. The humorous incidents, according to tradition, are recorded in the class history. They are not difficult to recall — indeed, we find solace in their recollection, thus easing the daily pressures of senior year. On the other hand, we are inclined to take for granted the efforts of many of our instructors. Too often, it is only when we are alumni that we realize how much we owe to a certain few for the parts they played in developing our professional lives. We would like, therefore, to dedicate this page to the members of our regular staff — the men who are, in effect. Columbia Dental School. We thank you most sincerely for the information we ' ve acquired, and the professional at- titudes that we ' ve adopted. We are happy to have shared our joys and sorrows and glad that you were always ready to listen to our woes, share our jokes and give advice when we needed it. To all of you who taught us so much in lecture, lab and clinic: in technique and natural science, our sincere thanks. Unfortunately, the classes which follow will not have the opportunity to enjoy the talents of three professors instrumental in shaping our education. These men shared alike the qualities of many years of service to Columbia and to dentistry, profound devotion to students, and out- standing pedagogic abilities, and still remain highly re- spected authorities in the Dental profession. We give them our special thanks, speaking not only for ourselves, but for the literally thousands of students who preceded us. These men — Dr. Maxwell Karshan, whose genuine warmth permeated his most difficult biochemistry lectures; Dr. George Schwendener, who methodically guided us through the trials of prosthetics technique; and Dr. Carl Oman, whose name is synonymous with meticulous, un- compromising craftsmanship — all retired during our senior year. To them we can only express our appreciation by endeavoring to fulfill the germ they nurtured in us. George Schwendener D.D.S. Ass ' t. Prof, of Denl. ADMINISTRATION o the Class of 1960 may we extend our hearty congratulations and best wishes upon your graduation. It is our hope that this marks only the beginning of your professional growth and development. That you will continue to learn and improve seems assured as is indicated by the selection for your yearbook of the theme, the future of dental education at Columbia under the reconstituted Faculty of Dental and Oral Surgery. During your four years in the dental school you have been aware of and a part of a number of changes. The timing of courses, the improvement of physical facilities and the action of the Board of Trustees of the University in reconstituting the Faculty of Dental and Oral Surgery are changes of major importance that have occurred at this time. The distribution of the basic science courses over a longer period in the curriculum and the earlier sched- uling of courses of clinical significance to dentistry were moves designed to equalize the student work load. The refurbishing of lecture rooms, the improve- ments in laboratories and the new clinic facilities are indications of the dire need for improving the condition of our inadequate and obsolescent physical plant. The establishing once again of an autonomous Faculty of Dental and Oral Surgery on an equal status with other faculties of the University was recognition by the Trustees of the need of the School of Dental and Oral Surgery for an opportunity to improve its educational and research program. Your part in this transition has given you concern for what is ahead. What the future holds for dental education at Columbia is now to a large extent dependent upon its alumni whom you join at this time. The contributions that you make to your profession and the public welfare will accrue to the benefit of the school. The reputations of both the school and the alumnus are dependent upon the accomplishments of each other. If you are to be proud of being a Columbia alumnus, it is worth a serious effort on your part to aid your school ' s growth. It is the hope of your faculty that the school will make steady progress in the years ahead. Envisioned are a new building providing enlarged facilities with modern equipment; a teaching program to in- clude a larger undergraduate student body, extended postgraduate courses and graduate study; and expanded research activities in which students, staff and alumni may play important roles. To accomplish this we must have your wholehearted support — intellectual, moral and financial. GRAYSON KIRK, Ph.D., U.D. President of the University GILBERT P. SMITH, D.D.S. Prof., Director, Division of Restorative Dentistry We take great pleasure in your interest in the future of dental edu- cation at Columbia and in your pride in the status given to the recon- stituted Faculty of Dentistry. We are particularly happy that many of you in the Class of 1960 have indicated a desire to enter the fields of dental research, graduate study and dental education. May your lives be full and productive. Dr. Gilbert P. Smith EDWARD V. ZEGARELLI A.B., M.S., D.D.S. Director, Division of Stomatology; JOSEPH A. CUTTITA, A.B., M.S., D.D.S., Assoc.

Asst. i Evold Under Instructor STOMATOLOGY he creation of a faculty of dentistry in Columbia University has auto- matically imposed a tremendous obligation on our staff and dental school. To adequately fulfill these newly gained responsibilities will require increased effort on the part of every division. An improved curriculum — one which utilizes the most modern knowledge and skills; expansion of research — one which will attract the interest and challenge the abil- ity of teachers and students alike; a modernization of our physical facilities — one which will keep pace with the many advances which are constantly being made in the dental field — are but a few of these responsibilities. All of these obligations must be fulfilled if our school is to regain and maintain its rightful place amongst the leading universities of this country. Our sister faculty — the Faculty of Medicine — has been of inestimable aid in ad- vancing the goals of Dentistry. The past is replete with its cooperative efforts. And, it is essential that this mutually complementing spirit be continually fostered if we are to attain those high professional standards of public health required of us. Through the efforts of our Dean, Dr. Gilbert P. Smith, the Vice-President in Charge of Medical Affairs, Dr. H. Houston Merritt, and the Board of Trustees of Columbia University, tremendous progress in this direction has already taken place. We, of the Division of Stomatology, are fully aware of our own responsibilities in the overall picture of autonomy. A detailed and critical analysis of our curriculum, improved methods for teaching and learning, a broadened scope of research and greater teacher-training are but a few of our immediate interests. Obviously, our ultimate objective in this program is the creation of an improved atmosphere for student learn- ing which, in turn, will contribute in positive fashion to the continued elevation of the profession of Dentistry.

RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY I960 — the year of education — you are graduating in a time when the educational system of our country must take stock and must revitalize itself in order to stay ahead of the rapidly growing Eastern world. Dentistry is no exception. Being one of the major health services in our country, it constantly needs revision. As new ideas, new concepts, and new technics are unfolded through research, they must be incorpo- rated into an ever changing curriculum. The University made a major step forward in 1959 by reconstituting the Faculty of Dental and Oral Surgery. Under this system our Dean and Faculty have equal standing with all the Schools of the University. In order to integrate closely allied disciplines for better teaching and mutual exchange of ideas, the Divisions of Operative and Prosthetics were merged into the Division of Restorative Dentistry. This enables the staff to work closer together through combined staff meetings with a free interchange of ideas. Already you have seen some of the fruits of this progressive work. Columbia ' s general theme is education for excellence — a term that embraces superior teaching and the furtherance of knowledge through research. All the disciplines of Restorative Dentistry are directed toward this end. It is my privilege, in behalf of the Staff of the Division of Restorative Dentistry, to wish each of you all the success that you so richly deserve. Our association with you has been a memorable one. We will miss you. As you assume the right to practice our great profession of dentistry, remember that with every right there is a corresponding obligation — the obligation of continued learning.

Dl SALVO B.S., D.D.S , Ph.D. Prof., Director, Div. of Orthodontics Dentistry is more closely allied to medicine today than ever before, and nowhere is this belief more strongly held than at Columbia. Why then did our University choose to separate the two Faculties at this time? Of course, no one person should presume to answer such a question for the University. This decision was reached after long deliberation in ma ny committees, served by many members of the University family. Nevertheless, certain things seem clear. Certainly there was no intent that the two pro- fessions should divide and go their separate ways without benefit of mutual cooperation. Perhaps the simplest analogy would be that of a son who has matured and who leaves the family household to assume his own responsi- bilities. This is necessary in order that he may develop to his fullest potentialities. So Dentistry has come of age. The many technical problems which have been so masterfully solved in the past few decades, need no longer consume so much of its efforts. It can now turn toward the solution of its underlying biological problems. But to do this it must imbue its recruits with a new doc- trine; one which is dedicated undividedly to Dentistry. The Dental profession should welcome and encourage the assistance of allied professions in the solution of its problems but the primary responsibility must always remain with Dentistry. We must, therefore, develop from within our ranks the leaders who will carry the torch of knowledge into the darkness of the unknown, for only in this way will Dentistry achieve its fullest potential.

Cobin, B.S., D.D.S., Instructor PEDODONTICS Dental education at Columbia has always been based upon the concept that dentistry is an important health service, closely allied to other essential health services. As a University discipline it should also include the necessary educational stimuli to create students ' awareness of their professional status and responsibilities to society. With these guiding concepts, and with the striving for excellence so characteristic of Columbia, future education at our dental school should be marked by improvements and changes in several areas. Among these are: 1. Greater emphasis on the principles of basic biological sciences and their specific applications to dentistry. This will help to provide a more sound and scientific foundation for the dental graduate in his efforts to interpret oral problems and institute correct indicated therapy. 2. Improvement in facilities for teaching and research. This should include new clinical facilities with newly developed proven aids for clinical teach- ing. New research facilities should also be obtained so that future leaders in dental research can be trained, and Columbia can again become the leading center for dental research. 3. Closely allied to the foregoing factors, yet independently essential, is greater emphasis on prevention of oral disease and disorders. We have felt that the most fertile field for the application of preventive principles and measures is in dentistry for children; principles of tooth conservation and prevention of disease have been translated into, and presented as, practicable measures for ready application in treatment planning for children. With advances in these directions our new Faculty can assume its right- ful, outstanding position in the training of leaders in dentistry. Dr. Solomon N. Rosenstein SOLOMON N. ROSENSTEIN B.S., D.D.S.

Prof. of Physio ogy he future does not suddenly materialize in response to any single act but is built up of a framework and clothed in a tradition. When the School of Dental and Oral Surgery was established at Columbia University, this was a recognition of the fact that the teaching of dentistry constituted an academic discipline. Moreover, the concept was established that the role of this school should be to strive for excellence in all its activities, tutorial and investigative alike. To achieve this aim, it was necessary to assemble a staff which accepted this purpose, to choose a student body which could profit from this type of instruction, and to provide sufficient, appropriate facilities. The extent to which this was achieved can be judged from the accomplishments of the staff and the graduates. In addition to being part of a university, we have also been part of a medical center dedicated alike to research, to teaching, and to treatment. A relation, therefore, between dentistry and the various aspects of medicine has also been established through a process of evolution and experiment. Since there is a continually extending body of knowledge common to all the healing arts, the several basic science departments have been serving, and continue to serve all branches of practice. The recent reconstitution of the Faculty of Dentistry implies that instruction in dentistry will be independent of medicine but will remain in proximity to it. Our common purpose is the advancement of dentistry in its methods, in its accomplishments, in its scope, and in its dignity. All we need say of the future is that we shall continue, each in his way, to work for this aim. DR. SOLON A. ELLISON Arthur Bushel, D.D.S. Assoc.

I believe that the President ' s Committee on The Edu- cational Future of Columbia University sums up what I have in mind: The aim of all Columbia ' s professional schools . . . should be to bring to the problems of the professions the perspectives and fruits of liberal university scholarship and to produce young men and women able to enrich the body of knowledge on which a profession leans . . . and further, in the future, much attention should be given to a closer integra- tion, recently badly neglected, between the work of the dental profession and public health interests, which would place greater stress on preven- tive measures .

Another, more welcome path, is that one of purpose, order and organization. We of the senior class have been very fortunate to have been able to follow the latter path in that the pitfalls concomittant with working in the clinic have been eliminated by a highly efficient and understanding Administrative Staff under the direction of Mrs. Florence Moore.

At that time gradu- ation certainly seemed a thing of the far distant future. Today, on the eve of comple- tion of our study program, we can look upon a collection of many happy, a few sad, but always beneficial experi- ences. We came to Columbia from undergraduate schools throughout the country, wide-eyed and enthusiastic; eager to make an auspicious beginning. The first class gathering was the orientation week cocktail party, given in our honor by the Alumni Association. Here, after an introduction to our staff and curriculum, the first organizational influences in the class became apparent. One sober resident of Long Island was imposed upon by his more spirited neighbors to escort them home, and Car Pool 1 was formed. This organization was to last four years, and was matched in duration, even surpassed in size, only by the Thermos Club, a varied bunch who came to school equipped with lunch- boxes and steaming thermos bottles; and the Garibaldis, a group whose common ancestral origins bound them to- gether in an alliance of mutual aid and admiration. As we embarked upon our professional education, the staff stressed the importance of integration and correlation. Any knowledge which cannot be correlated with other knowledge is useless, we were told, and it will be your responsibility to integrate the material presented to you. How true this sentiment was, for as beneficiaries of a newly developed schedule we were shown schemas of the noives while recarving lateral incisors, and learned of the erup- tion patterns of perrnanent teeth by folding lily cups. Those early efforts with selective grinding and waxing crowns were quite frustrating, as we developed a full mouth re- habilitation plan for our typodent models. Slowly, however, we mastered this portion of our education, at the same time pursuing our studies in the preclinical sciences. Here, syringes of pneumococci were thrown at instructors while they were questioned about the eclipse phase of viral growth, sometimes likened to a Hershey bar. The science of Pathology was taught to us in a small, warm, drowwssy roooom, as we superimposed new and colorful cells on our old Histology drawings. Above all, we continued to inte- grate and correlate. On the eighth floor we smudged our faces with rouge and tripoli, and then continued the process downstairs with a smoke blackened kymograph drum. Our introduction to Oral Surgery soon followed on a very grand scale, with stereophonic sound and a wide angle screen. To be sure, many late hours of study marked the Sophomore year, as exams in the science courses stimu- lated our thinking classmates to run a profitable barter system with Central Autonomic stimulants as standard currency. Finally, we emerged, from the queezes in Anatomy and the showers in Biochemistry; from infarcts, sodium pumps, and Neostigmine; eager to ignite our didac- tic education with our clinical experience. The first big test came in Periodontia. One day in Sophomore year, a blizzard blanketed the entire city with snow, and the patient shortage was topped only by the total absence of instructors. In this setting we began our career as clinicians. 22 As Juniors, clinical work occupied the major portion of our daily schedule. The finer points of rubber dam, injection techniques, and impression methods were stressed again and again, and there were even threats that patients would be forthcoming only pending the completion of certain tasks. Our Den Mother rose to the occasion, how- ever. With lectures on procedure and decorum, she ushered us into the clinic, where shortly thereafter, we learned a new game; a form of hide and seek. We hid our superfluous instruments in our pockets, polished up our kits, and still got sixes. Our early clinical experience was indeed different from Typodontia practice. While line angles were still meticu- lously examined through three sets of lenses, special inter- est was also given to rubber dam, inferior alveolar block, and mandibular dislocation. No longer could we fill saliva tubes for Dr. Caries M while plugging foils, nor unscrew abutment teeth for better scrutinization. By midseason we were able to complete a Class II amalgam practical with only one pulp exposure, and had constructed full dentures for five tapering ovoids, three charging tapirs, seven fat squares, and one Square Bur. The hectic confusion of the clinic strongly contrasted with our technique course in Orthodontia. Here the quiet, easy going manner of our instructors gave us new confidence and additional insight into the correlation between mechanical dentistry and growth and development factors. Slowly we became specialists in Surgery, Endodontia, Roentgenology, and Diagnosis. Good students were re- warded by being allowed to buy candy bars for Captain Jack. Here, too, we were introduced to our full Thera- peutic regimen by Willie the Squibb, with special emphasis placed on PL8-6-B-O. Some other specialties were taught only as lecture courses. Occlusal Louis came in to dispel some misconceptions about occlusion and TM Joint prob- lems, while The Rank teamed up with The Big M to show slides of giraffe uvulas, and teach us how to come to class on time. By Junior year we were deemed qualified to participate in the 8 A.M. episode known as the CPC. It was encourag- ing to see how our diagnostic procedures, scientific ap- proach, and awareness of the varying oral lesions gradu- ally matured. On some mornings however, it seemed as if the only treatment for some of humanity ' s most sinister maladies was the alleviation of certain local oral environ- mental factors. The Junior year also afforded some students the oppor- tunity to earn money while participating in a pain thresh- old experiment. The boys were given placebos, and other good analgesics, while their nerves were soothed by two instructors playing clarinet and accordion duets. They were then asked to respond to a moderately painful dental stimu- lus. While the researchers have not yet published their reports, the students predict excellent results, since many of them, in the quest for better grades, did not respond until the painful stimulus was unbearable. Through it all, the class still had its good times. Led by our energetic president, A.J.T., our social calendar was kept as active as our academic one. The first class function was the Inaugural Ball for our new Dean, held jointly with the staff and the other classes on the clinic floor. Inspired by the spirit of togetherness, we then embarked on a series of our own parties. The first of these, a tremendous success, was held at John Jay Hall, where in view of a no liquor edict, some members of the class got surprisingly tipsy. It was at subsequent parties that the class ' s talent became evident, and gifted souls entertained their classmates with stories, jokes, and folk music, attaining almost professional perfection by our Senior year. Perhaps the most memorable occasion of all was the party we had as Freshmen, when Dr. Arden graciously welcomed us to his home. We re- alized then what close friends our instructors were, when Howie donned his chef ' s hat, and the Schvend sat down at the poker table with the boys. Although always a well knit group, our number was not constant. Starting with forty stalwarts in our freshman ranks, we graduate now with thirty-eight, after an interim 23 k marked by exchanges and interchanges of personnel. Fol- lowing our first year we were forced to give up a repre- sentative to a medical college. As part of a foreign ex- change program, we lost another of our troupe to a dental school in Montreal. In return, however, we were joined by Hummer, Strummer, and the Duke, — three enchantingly colorful individuals who did much to enhance the per- sonality of the class. The Senior year, an entity which almost stands apart from the rest of our dental education, followed strongly on the heels of an Open House during the ADA ' s Cen- tennial celebration. On this day, strategically located in the various departments to demonstrate our skills, we were proud of the enthusiastic comments we heard from the visiting dentists. In the clinic, cases started rather slowly, as the linger- ing summer weather kept patients in the city parks. Soon, however, matters returned to normal. Clinic fees were now determined by an electronic brain in the cashier ' s office. Full denture kits, presented with each new case, consisted of assorted used wax, gutta percha, and com- pound. We were sorry to learn that our old friend, Millie Ohlhaver, had retired from her post at the appointment desk, but her place was ably filled by two charming and alert young ladies who answered the microphone and made announcements over the telephone. Sahawab-Lum in- herited the laundry concession, making enough money to take unto himself a bride. The class was divided into four prosthetics groups, each with its own instructor; and each claiming to have gotten the best deal in the shuffle. Group two boasted that they had finally harnessed Big John by putting sand in his roller skates, while the front of the alphabet rented a snow-plow to get the Herl to school and a set of chains to keep him in tow. Young Vic ' s boys put in a private line to the office over the bank. The last group claimed that Daddy Miller was the grandest chief of all, but because of weekly admissions committee obligations, they invited a prominent guest instructor to join them every Friday. This instructor was made a Baron by Em- peror Franz Joseph in recognition of his contributions to dental science, i.e., the Pencil-in nostril Vertical Dimen- sion indicator, the irremovable double-impression tray, and the plastic Hindelug. This new lug former was in par- ticular a great aid to students, being specially designed to make undercontouring of crowns impossible. 24 By October, we were all hurrying to review our Sopho- more year Psychiatry lecture notes, as we had to apply these principles, and those of the rounded line angle, to the practice of Pedodontics. On the eighth floor, however, sharp line angles still prevailed, as the Hydrocolloid King encouraged enough students to use the material to win for himself a new Alpha unit. It was his adopted son, Silent Tom. who explained that the Hydro King ' s right jab to the gut and primitive hack sign were really indications of deep affection. Other members of the department received mention in verse. A poem, read to Dr. Carl Oman upon his retirement, paid a tribute to his accomplishments as an educator, included these lines: There ' s Silent P. conversant B, and Hydrocolloid C, Then S and F. with specks hooked on, and smiling S.H.B.; With knapsack H, pain-killer S, and F with high- pitched bray, And lanky S, and Kodak D. and L with dilok tray. The first course to get under way was Periodontia. As Seniors, many of us were fortunate enough to participate in an experiment based on modern electric toothbrushing methods and gingival biopsy techniques. Some students were also given an opportunity to judiciously prescribe newly developed troches for the treatment of periodontal disorders. As in the past, they ' ll help us out, and teach us all they know, But it ' s your name that ' s legend here, and wherever students go, Long after we have left this school, our cards we ' ll proudly show; The lines which start, Class III Gold Foil, and end with C.R.O. 25 While clinic work was our major concern, there were still lecture notes to be taken. The Huntsman, down from the hills at 181st Street, interrupted his 6-day bike-race to lecture us on ethical behavior and legal ins and outs. Sen- ior lectures in Periodontia covered the more advanced problems of periodontal therapy, i.e., biopsy indications, prognosis in tooth mobility, fixed splinting, and treat- ment planning. With the burden of point requirements, partials, spe- cial assignments. State Boards, and preparation for post- graduation positions, the Senior year will best be remem- bered for the hectic spasticity that prevailed unabated throughout. Boys with carefree manner and gentle dis- positions in earlier years showed signs of the strain as often the only humor discernible was the giddiness that comes with overwork. With the end finally in sight, we strove to revitalize our sagging dispositions, while strug- gling through Roach Arms, Immediates, Class III foils, and State Board practice setups. Despite our trials and tribulations, it was a year of learning and experience. The staff ably drew upon our extensive preclinical science training to make the Senior year a logical culmination to our earlier education. To this, they added training in the most modern tech niques of dental practice, plus the personal instructor-student rela- tionship particular to Columbia. While we know that we still have much to learn, we are convinced that we have been prepared for it in the best possible manner. Ashley Brown Stephen Stambler Bernard Tolpin I 26 Langdon, you don ' t have o C.P.C. yet, do you? It might help, Berge, if you put a slide in! Victor C. Auth il ' nintii Vic , as he is best known to his classmates, came to us from N.Y.U. There, in addition to being a member of several organizations and Honor societies, he was Vice-president of the Fauchardian Society, and Senior Advisor to Pre- dental Students. After many spins on the commuter ' s merry-go- round, Vic finally surrendered and became a local resident. This afforded him vast opportuni- ties to concentrate upon his chosen career, and saved him from extinction when he began workings for the Luc . In his spare time Vic enjoys playing the violiu,. on which he performs with professional skill, and attends numerous concerts around New York. Unfortunately, he may very well be remembered by his classmates for the consistent manner in ' which he contracted most of the class ills, and compounded them into the most potent symptoms. Constant, well-directed attention to detail pro- cedure, and organization have made Vic one of the finer students in the class. It is certain that these qualities will quickly .lead him to realize his plans for a successful practice in New Jersey,!; and perhaps, one day, a prosthetics specialty. y 10 ' «£ Frederick Berlin A n ative of Flushing. N.Y. and a product of Columbia College. Fred came to us in 1956 as the holder of a N.Y. State Regents Scholarship. Always consistent in his scholastic excellence, Fred maintained the high standards he had set for himself at undergraduate school, and became a member of the William Jarvey Society as a Sophomore. In the following year he was granted a National Institute of Health Summer fellowship for research in the dental sciences, and was elected secretary of the William Jarvey Society. Finally, in Senior year, he was awarded a scholarship from the Women ' s Auxiliary of the Queens County Dental Society as the best Senior Student from Queens. Fred ' s outstanding academic achievements did not hinder his social activity. A member of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity in college, he joined Alpha Omega when he came uptown, and was an active participant in all of its functions. Al- ways a center of attraction among his friends, he became the most envied senior of all when he announced his engagement to the charming and beautiful Judy Leopold, a nurse in our own Oral Surgery department. Fred is an avid follower of both the Opera and the on-and-off Broadway theater, and on more than one occasion he has been able to boast of being present at a new show ' s opening perform- ance. Upon graduation, Fred will spend a year as intern in the Long Island Jewish Hospital. Fol- lowing this he hopes to specialize in periodontia. Combining a cheery disposition with lots of hard work. Howie has compiled a most impres- sive record of accomplishment in Dental School. In addition to doing the usual amount of lab work, has been Secretary and Pledge Chairman pha Omega, Dr. Budowsky ' s assistant, and Alpha Omega ' s Undergraduate Delegate to the National Council. In Junior and Senior years lie was a part time Biology lab instructor at Adelphi ..:, his Aima Mater. Finally, in midseason of senior year, he married his fiancee Helene, thus climaxing his array of extracurricular activities. Undoubtedly a most dynamic individual, his ig personality won many friends for him. Continuing in the tradition of athletic participa- tion which was his trademark at Adelphi. he initiated the Beube-Diamond-Blum Golf Compe- tition and represented group one in the class hand- ball tournament. In Freshman and Sophomore years Howie chose not to commute from his home in Lynbrook. L.J., and so resided in an apartment near the school. This became a favorite study pad for one group of students, until some Second-Story men stripped Howie of his most valuable possessions, forcing him to join the trekkers of the Gran Central Parkway. After graduation, Howard would like to eTHW the U.S. Air Force. Subsequent to this 2-year period in the service he plans to specialize in Oral Surgery. s d J ' ' Thomas G. Borkoivski «,... A resident of Bayonne. New Jersey, Tom ' s aca- demic schedule was often dependent on the Hud- son Tubes ' timetable. While his classmates spent long hours in the lab, Tom hurried off to make his commuting connections. An exceptionally alert student and a superb clinician. Tom was able to produce work of the highest caliber without those long nights in the lab. His undergraduate training at St. Peters Col- lege prepared him well to handle the didactic portion of our education as well. One of our finest scholars in the pre-clinical sciences, Tom was of- fered a Public Health research fellowship at the end of Sophomore year. An active member of Psi Omega, Torn and his lovely wife, Veronica, have been seen together at many class and fraternity functions. Here too, they were punctual to depart, this time to get home to their wonderful children, Thomas, Ellen, ana Mary Ann. .mv$$ Immediately after graduation. Tom plans to enter the service. After that, his plans have not crystallized. His classmates are certain, however, that Tom ' s easy going manner, inherent talent;-, and agile mind will lead him to a successful priv; ' i practice.

Brown Hailing from Queens College, Ashley, better known as Al, is a holder of a Second Lieutenant ' s Commission, a New York State Scholarship, and chances are, a pat-hand. Indeed, Al is an active Columbian, utilizing his inherent wit and outgoing personality as Social Chairman of Alpha Omega Fraternity and as staff writer on the present yearbook. He is also a frequent ace-in-the-hole after-after dinner speaker at Psi Omega Fraternity meetings. Al is a devoted follower of the fortunes of the N.Y. Ranger hockey team, and on many occa- sions he has organized evening outings from the eighth floor lab to Madison Square Garden. At other times his attention is turned to a perform- ance of the Metropolitan Opera. The youngest member of the class. Ashley adds enthusiastic determination to his native intelli- gence when undertaking any task. Whether he is studying for an exam or completing lab work, his constant perseverance is one of his outstanding trademarks. That, together with his delightfully eccentric sense of humor and pleasant manner made him a most desirable classmate, roommate, and study companion. After graduation, Ashley will intern with the U. S. Army, followed by ;.i residency in Oral % Pathology. 33 Rarely has Columbia University Dental School fathered a more industrious and persevering stu- dent than Elliot Cohen. It is not unusual to see Elliot hard at work at his unit at all hours, in- cluding his well deserved lunch hour, or with his nose deeply buried in his lecture notes as he con- tinues through the subway circuit to his home in trie East Bronx. In order to maintain this dynamic and tireless pace, it has been said that Elliot must be on an intravenous feeding system. Elliot graduated from Queens College in Sep- tember, 1 955, leaving behind him an active under- graduate career, both as a student, and as a mem- ber of the Tau Delta Phi fraternity. His active existence at college was soon to be carried over into the service of his country where he was placed in a very responsible position with Military Intelli- gence. He then joined us at Columbia, where after having been one of the class ' s most eligible bache- lors for the first three years, he finally married the lovely Lee Mintz in January, 1960. Elliot ' s plans after D.D.S. day this June include an internship which may be followed by post- graduate training in the special ty of Orthodontics. ■r Michael R. Costanzo A warm smile and ready wit have endeared Mike to classmates and staff alike. A top scholar and athlete at Colgate, from which he graduated in 1956, Mike has maintained the same high scholastic record in dental school. His athletics now, however, consist of running a highly successful practice at chair 69. One of the top craftsmen in the class, Mike makes a habit of meticulous work. Mike has earned many honors, having been elected to the William Jarvie Society, selected as Dr. Zegarelli ' s assistant, awarded a Dean ' s schol- arship, elected to Student Council and Executive Council of Psi Omega Fraternity, in which he has also served as Social Chairman and Poker master. All these activities notwithstanding, Mike found time to supplement the family coffer with week-end and summer jobs as a waiter.

Feinstein IP s • ■■ ' M ■  ■ i I i ■ Ml i One of the older and more serious students in the class, Merv as his classmates call him, is certain to be as well liked in dental practice as he has been in school. Merv is married, a veteran, and more recently, a father. He interrupted his college education from 1952 to 1954 when he served with the U.S. Army in the Signal Corps. After his release from the Army he spent the next two years at Hofstra College where he compiled an excellent academic record, and. was elected to Psi Chi, the honorary psychology society. He then went on to receive his B.A. degree in June 1956. Upon entering ' Dental School he continued to show his academic prowess by rapidly developing into one of the • class ' s top clinicians. Much of Merv ' s success can be attributed to his beautiful wife Marilyn, who not only had to p ut up with Merv ' s varying daily schedule to meet his commitments to the Long Island Car Pool, but also extended her secretarial duties to include categoric, organization of lecture notes for Merv and his classmates. Merv ' s future plans are for a general practice, either as an associate of a practicing dentist or in his own office.

In dental school Hal has mastered many phases ■f clinical and technique work. His easy going nner and good-natured smile have endeared him to all his patients, while his partial denture casting technique wil l long be remembered after he has gone. Not only a fervent non-fraternity man, Hal is also a loyal member of the bachelor society. After, graduation, Hal plans on a two year term with the Air Force. Following his military service he plans to enter private practice, in which he will undoubtedly be an asset to his patients as well as the profession.

It is undoubt- edly true that no senior has waxed as many patterns on vel stone dies as Ernie. Cliffside Park,. New Jersey is Ernie ' s home town. He was graduated from Columbia College in 1957, having received his AB degree on the option program. During the summer following his junior year, Ernie served as a mior extern at Manhattan ' s St. Vincents Hospital. This training gave him a deeper insight into the problems of clinical oral surgery and provided him with additional experi- ence in carrying out surgical procedures. Upon graduation he plans to marry Barbara, his sweetheart of five years, who is a senior nursing student at Presbyterian Hospital. Ernie ' s other post-graduation plans include an internship with the Veterans Administration. In his spare time, Ernie ' s skillful hands are frequently at work making engine boxes, medica- ment cabinets, model trays, and all sorts of what- nots. He also enjoys painting and reading when the inflow of crowns and inlays lags a little. 46 Lawrence M.

A recipient of a New York State scholarship, Larry became one of the founders of Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity, and a member of the fencing team. After he received his B.A. degree in 1956, Larry brought his ready smile and eagerness to learn to Dental School, where he soon added a more priceless item, his charming wife, Sandy. While his inquisitive mind continuously groped with the problems of dentistry, Larry became one of our fine clinicians and served as Dr. Herland ' s ft 19 I I I Jf iiuts-jj ,.

His aptitudes in the natural sciences earnedn him a B.S. degree from Manhattan College in 1956 and a New York State Dental Scholarship. In dental school he continued to excel in his studies, and participated as well in the school ' s extracurricular activities as a.- member of Psi Omega, The Guitar and Mandolin Club, and the Senior Show Committee. Bob ' s outside interests are many and varied. He enjoys both folk and classical music, likes to travel, and follows the current events of the political, cul- tural, and religious worlds very closely. On those weekends when he is not attending; a local concert, or carrying his mandolin to a genjiitlich gathering of friends, it is very likely that Bob is on his bicycle pedaling away his cares on a country road leading from the city. During .Junior Year. Bob had to curtail some of these activities while he worked as a tutor for two young boys. His most exciting extracurricular activity of the last few years how- ever, was his cycling and scooter trip through Europe— an event often spoken of by him during many subsequent school days Bob ' s future bolds a position with the Public Health Service immediately after graduation. Fol- lowing tms7h ' isjro «pB| towards the speci:. ■fcildren may well lead him FOrthodontics. 51 Whether he is in the clinic, in the lab, or on the dance floor, Marty is a very enthusiastic and pro- ficient operator. At the school dances, his incom- parable cha-cha has earned him much praise and admiration, so much so that he has given instruc- tion to several of his fellow classmates on some of its finer points. On the athletic scene, Marty is a golf enthusiast — and many spring weekends are spent out on the links on Long Island. Marty came to us from N.Y.U. as did his lovely wife, Judy Carol, who was a secretary in the Physics Department there. An excellent student, Jie was quickly made a member of the William Jarvie Society. His abilities followed him into the clinic where he has found much enjoyment in pros- thetics and surgery. —  An active member of Alpha Omega, Marty has also found time to work on the Senior Show Com- mittee. After graduation the U.S. Air Force is high in his mind. Following a two year tour of duty he hopes to practice on Long Island, possibly special- izing in Surgery or in Prosthetics. We can be sure that Marty ' s indomitable zeal and driving personality will insure his success. Martin Ross Robert Rothman Devoted to his studies, meticulous in technique, skillful in clinic procedures, Bob is truly one of the foremost scholars of the class. After receiving his A.B. from Brooklyn College, Bob entered the class as holder of a N. Y. State Regents Scholar- ship. His merits as an outstanding student were soon recognized he.re when he was admitted to Jarvie Society, granted the Newark AO Alumni Scholarship Award, and asked by Dr. Herlands to become his assistant in Junior year. In addition to his keen intellect, Bob ' s easy- going manner and sharp sense of humor made him a very sought after source of information and advice throughout our four years. Always ready to assist a fellow student, his high standards of perfection sometimes provoked him to sarcastical- ly admonish obvious displays of incompetence, giving him a reputation as our class ' s leading cyni- cal humorist. Bob ' s comments were most often directed against the Transit Authority and the BMT. Hav- ing the longest subway commuting trip in the class, Bob often started his hour and a half long voyage to school before the early rays of the sun rose over Sheepshead Bay. After graduation Bob plans to enter private practice as an associate of a practicing dentist. Always ready with a hearty laugh and a friendly slap on the back, Lou emerged as one of the strong organizational influences of our class, His activi- ties as president of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity in Queens College prepared him well for his duties as president of Alpha Omega. His sincere ap- proach and overwhelming enthusiasm inspire all who work with him, and indeed, are the very qualities which insured his election to the position. A resident of Kew Gardens, Lou has avoided the commuting hassle by living in an apartment close to the hospital. This offered many con- veniences, especially during the late communal study sessions when Lou ' s ingenio m vices would amaze roommates and friends who were invited to study with him. In his spare time Lou efjoys j i; or singing; the latter can neighbors in the lab. witfl two and three part harml summers, Lou has put hi] to use by working with chill camps.

He was awarded his B.A. degree in 1956, after which he moved uptown to Columbia. His scholas- tic excellence was soon evident at Dental School as well, for on this basis Morris was elected to the . William Jar vie Research Society after his Sopho- more year. He is also a member of Alpha Omega Fraternity and is always a leading laugh-getter at many of the fraternity smokers and dances. Morris loves to read and enjoys all types of sports as a participant as well as a spectator. He is a very proficient dancer and is especially the center of attraction whenever a mambo or cha-cha is played. fter graduation Morris intends to marry his dancing partner, lovely Marilyn Chasnoff. Other future plans include a one year rotating internship at the V.A. hospital at Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn. ollowed by two years of military service. Morris Scherr h K Neil A. Schorr V Neil came to Columbia from Queens College where he received his B.S. degree. In college he excelled in both baseball and soccer and he was chosen for the N. Y. Collegiate All Star soccer team in 1952 and 1953. In the interim between graduation from Queens and his entrance into Columbia. Neil served a two year tour of duty as a pfc in the Medical Corps of the U.S. Army, where he did research in influenza in conjunction with the University ' s School of Medicine, and became a pioneer in the army vaccination team. This was great benefit to his group in Microbiology where his meticulous injection technique earned him th • position of chief experimenter and group leader. Neil is a member of Alpha Qmega and • was |jways cutting a rug with his pretty wife Joan at all fraternity functions. JA standard addition to certain days in the lab was the voice of Neil ' s four-year-old daughter Carole, who came to visit her daddy while he worked, and entertain him and his classmates with songs, nursery rhymes, and stories of her little brother Jeffrey.

' he class of 1960 has been blessed with full instruction, due to the hurrying and ever- helping attitude of our perennial class representa- tive, Henry J. Seligmann. Coming to us from the United States Army of World War II, Columbia .ity School of General Studies, and the laboratory of one of our lecturers, Henry swung lto the school ' s activities by becoming a member of the Thermos Club and a mem- ber of the Medical History Society.

After Junior year he was able to gain valu- able clinical experience as a summer intern in a New Hampshire Hospital. To top all this off. Henry was the school ' s representative as student clinician of the American Dental Association ' s Centennial Convention in 1959. Where he finds the time, nobody knows; but Henry still keeps up with his hobbies of reading, music, photography, sailing, and traveling. Combining a friendly but persevering manner, a keen and inquisitive intellect, and a poignant sense of humor, Steve quickly became one of the class ' s leading protagonists in intellectual debate. It was obvious that undergraduate training at CCNY left him well versed not only in the liberal arts, but in the natural sciences as well, as Steve drew upon his broad scientific background to help coach some of his classmates through our early preclinical sci- ence courses. His brown briefcase constantly by his side, filled with the most complete and accurate lecture notes in the class, Steve became a standard source for missed lectures, explanations of difficult problems, and extra writing paper. An active member of Alpha Omega, Steve was always as punctual to fraternity meetings as he was to class. It was said that he did so in order to leave early and make the long trip to Brooklyn, the home of his lovely and vivacious fiancee, Mimi, whom he married on Christmas Eve, 1959. Meticulous in both clinic and laboratory work, Steve was greatly admired when his transfer copy- ing technique became a topic of conversation among our instructors. After graduation Steve plans to enter the Air Force Dental Corps, following which he will enter private practice in the New York City area. 61 ; 5 s w l£ ♦ To commuters of the D Train Express in the Bronx.

He has since begun to play the mandolin, an activity which has livened many a class party. At Columbia, Bernie won great affection and respect from faculty and students with his easy manner and quick and always appropriate wit. The latter was put to good use in his work as class historian for past yearbooks, unofficial class toast- master, and as literary editor of the present Dental Columbian. Bernie ' s outside activities include a love of the great outdoors with frequent hikes through our State parks, combined with a more cosmopolitan interest in classical and folk music concerts. The genuine fondness and trust of all his pa- tients, especially the children, assure Bernie of success both as an intern at Montefiore Hospital next year, and in the future.

Both his undergraduate and dental school activities mark him as a talented organizer and executive. On campus, he was one of the founders of the local chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity and Subsequently served as treasurer and president of that organization. In addition he was a member of the Columbia Daily Spectator and one of the college ' s most .persevering cheerleaders. Barry continued to participate in extracurricular activities at dental school while maintaining his reputation as one of our outstanding clinicians. In addition to being a member of Student Council he was Secretary-Tteasuie6iOTth£ clas?cmd Treas- urer of Alpha-Omega Fraternity — the purses of both groups being maintained only by Barry s inherent ability to collect money from chronically broke dental students. Well known as pilot of the Trurfrhobile, Barry has brought Car Pool 1 through sun and storm to keep the punctual reputation of our Queens con- tingent intact. Upon graduation the Truff plans to enter into the armed services. His numerous organizational talents and high quality work guarantee his success in all future endeavors.

This was the call to arms to the first completely new endeavor of our junior year. Aside from a few singed eyebrows, burned hair, and lost tempers, the experience proved to be a pretty devastating one . . . Meanwhile, we find Misters and Misses making their first attempts at clinical dentistry. Frustrations of the clinic were dispelled, however, by frequent showings of Dr. Lucca ' s interesting slide collection. Unfortunately, the therapeutic effect was not shared by the female members of our class. What is the Hanau Quint, anyhow?? . . . C B brought us ample opportunity to put to good use the repair and replacement service of a certain instrument supply com- pany. Its name shall not slip from our lips, but shall remain in our pockets forever! Fortunately for us, we fared better than some of our equipment . . . Half our class was in endo., learning that 95% of nonperiodontally involved teeth to be extracted, could be saved, while the other half was busy in surgery!! . . . Scrape, scrape, scrape — familiar refrains were once again heard around the eighth floor. This year, it seemed to coincide with the groans of those taking National Boards. Oh, can anyone spare a placebo troche for my nerves? . . . With tears in our eyes we learned of the passing of a good friend — T.G. . . . School will not be the same without him. All in all it was a year spent in the acquisition of new knowledge — the latest movies, opera, plays and sporting events. It was also a year in which we obtained our first real idea of what our future profession has in store for us. With confidence in our school and in ourselves, we face the future.

After refreshing their technique at the expense of an innocent central, the class almost en masse rushed down to buy a twin from Tiffany ' s, Mike McGrath ' s emporium on the seventh floor. We faced what was to be a fascinating, yet, at times, a problematic year, eased, undoubtedly by the transfer of phar- macology to our junior year. We were introduced to the in- numerable Petri dishes of Microbiology, a course which, we were reassured, starts out slowly, but builds up steam. Be- sides acquiring a familiarity with microscopic organisms, we also learned the correct address and protocol for handling rabbits and mice. At one time, brotherhood ran an all time high when the Knights of Columbus Associates sacrificed a rabbit on the Day of Atonement. Through all the fumbling and shattering of a record number of pathogen-containing test tubes, our professors kept their sense of humor, to the point of being hosts at a surprise party for us, at which stale pastry was the main course, resulting in an intestinal upset for the entire class. As for extracurricular activities, there was the Centennial of the A.D.A., at which members of our class not only dis- covered the latest scientific advances of dentistry, but found the convention to be a kind of free dental supermarket from, which they toted home enough products to stay kissing- sweet for months to come. And so, one year closer — one year added to a fund of knowledge and ability from which, if we have augmented it properly, we are to draw dividends throughout our profes- sional lives.

Registration, payment of fees, assignment of lockers and the other mechanics of entrance, deluged the newcomers, but the smog of confusion finally lifted and the class assembled for the first time for the Freshman Orientation program. At first, the medical center seemed huge and rather breath-tak- ing, but this was dispelled to some degree with a guided tour by the friendly and helpful upperclassmen. The aura of friendliness was encountered on all sides, and was perhaps best manifested in Dr. Cutitta ' s beaming countenance, which had seemed so gloomy and suspicious during the entrance interviews the previous year. Forty strangers began to relax, become friends and settle down for the four years ahead. Gross Anatomy, Microanatomy and Medical Biometry initiated the ' select ' forty to the academic world of the school. The bookstore was invaded for the first of many visits, but finally everyone was draped in drab, brown gowns and the hours over the cadaver began. Microscopes of all shapes and sizes appeared, with straining eyes fused to their eyepieces. For the most part, the class lived and breathed anatomy. The abdomen and thorax were explored, tissues and cells be- came recognizable, and soon the first exams loomed. Panic ensued; past exams were the newspapers, Bailey and Gray became bibles, late lights burned, gray circles appeared under eyes and then the hurdle was passed and everyone was amazed to find that it hadn ' t been so terrible after all. Once the vacation was over, the class returned to a now familiar world, donned their new dental jackets and finally felt that they belonged.

From this humble beginning our organization began to grow. Today, Alpha Omega has developed into a fraternity of over 8,000 professional people, organized into 47 alumni and 35 under- graduate chapters throughout the world. As undergraduates, members of Eta have accrued many bene- fits from the fraternity, on both social and professional levels. There were monthly meetings and smokers, some including guest lecturers speaking on subjects ranging from dentistry in Japan to Oral Pathology. We spent several pleasant evenings arranged for us by our alumni and graduate chapters. And who will ever for- get the gala times at the dances held jointly with Psi Omega, topped off with a stupendous Senior Farewell for the Class of 1960. It is easy to understand why we of Eta Chapter are proud and privileged to be associated with the fraternity at present, and with its traditions of the past. We look forward with anticipation and expectancy to becoming an integral part of its future. We wish to extend our sincere congratulations to our gradu- ating seniors.

International in scope, with members in twenty-nine countries, Psi Omega is dentistry ' s largest fraternity with a total membership of 26,000 men. Gamma Lambda Chapter, Psi Omega ' s representative at Co- lumbia University, is proud to be an integral part of an organi- zation which affords its members the much sought after prestige that can only be obtained through diligent planning and hard work over many years. Psi Omegans are offered, in addition to their dental education, a wealth of extra professional and so- cial benefits. Monthly meetings present an opportunity to witness wide and varied views of dentistry as presented in lectures and demonstrations by prominent men. Our calendar of events bears out the fact that in its prepara- tion we are mindful of the saying all work and no play . . . . A wide scope of social activities highlight the year. Pledges are warmly welcomed into our brotherhood with a pledge banquet and formal initiation. All words of praise and thanks fall short of what is justly due Dr. Lucca and Dr. Cain, our Deputy Counsellors. Through their avid interest in the Fraternity, they have unfailingly given their guidance and support. Our deepest gratitude also extends to Psi Omegans on the faculty for their ready help and understanding throughout the school year. We wish all our graduating seniors the fullest and happiest lives possible and hope their fraternity ties will be as close during their professional careers as they were here at Columbia. 80 EXECUTIVE COUNCIL — Fronf Row, left to right: John Scarola, Carmine Gaccione, Dr. John Lucca, Dr. Edward Cain, George Privitera.

This is the aim of the Student Council as set forth in its constitution. Under the guidance of its faculty advisors, Dr. Cuttita, the Student Council this year embarked on an aggressive program to accomplish this aim. With success in many areas, and setbacks in others, the ex- ample of vigorous action has been established, so that the Council shall, in the future, be an even more potent force in helping to make this institution the foremost school of the profession. WILLIAM JARVIE SOCIETY The foundations for the advance- ment in any given field of en- deavor are laid down through the efforts of the basic research scientist. It is of prime importance that the in- vestigator be given the opportunity to be sur- rounded by an atmosphere of scientific inquiry. Cognizant of these facts, the School of Dental and Oral Surgery, through the efforts of Dr. William Gies, founded the William Jarvie So- ciety thirty-four years ago. Since that time, it has been the aim of each of its members to uphold its creed: true interest and active par- ticipation in dental research. The students within the Society not only conduct research projects of their own choice, but are offered the opportunity of seeking the advice and guidance of many prominent dental investi- gators.

OMICRON KAPPA UPSILON Annually, on the basis of high scholarship, out- standing character, as well as professional maturity and contributions to dentistry, a select few of the graduating class are elected to Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the national honorary dental fraternity. In light of its history, it is especially gratifying to be chosen as a recipient of this award. The fraternity had its inception when the class of 1914, at the Northwestern Dental School, petitioned its dean, Dr. G. V. Black. Through his efforts, there were 10 member chapters the fol- lowing year, and today the fraternity has expanded to 47 chapters. The Greek letters, Sigma — standing for con- servation, and Omicron and Upsilon which mean teeth and health, located on the pin within the larger symbol of conservation, symbolize beauti- fully the guiding principle of the fraternity. The Columbia University chapter, Epsilon Epsilon, was granted a charter of a component chapter in 1934. To you, the class of 1960, the members of Epsilon Epsilon chapter extend our congratulations and best wishes for a lifetime of professional success and happiness. We hope that the standards you have been taught and the high principles which have guided our members will act as guides for your professional careers. Dr. Joseph A. Cuttita EDWARD V.

When your patients see Living Dentures, they will understand, perhaps for the first time, that the denture experience need not be associated with advancing age and declin- ing vigor. The proper presentation of this beautiful new patient education book will contribute immeasurably to the process of psychological readjustment, and will enlist the patient cooperation so neces- sary to the final success of the restoration. -THE PRELIMINARY CHAIR WORK CAN BUILD PATIENT CONFIDENCE AND FACILITATE THE INITIAL STEPS OF THE DENTURE CREATION. The Trubyte Bioform Professional Den- ture Service Unit can be invaluable to you and your patients. The Unit is an impor- tant aid to preliminary tooth selection and arrangement — equally important, perhaps, is its value in demonstrating to your pa- tients the personalized and individualized character of your denture service. Your patients will understand what you are doing for them, and why. THE TRY-IN CAN BE A MOMENT OF RELIEF AND GRATITUDE The first try-in of the completely successful restoration can be a richly rewarding ex- perience for both you and your patient. Certainly, this experience is dependent pri- marily upon the application of your profes- sional knowledge and skill to the problems of esthetic denture design. Yet many den- tists have found that the Trubyte Bioform System of Tooth Selection and Arrange- ment, and the exclusive use of Trubyte Bioform Teeth, are essential to consistently excellent results. This is because the Tru- byte Bioform System is based upon over sixty years of continuing study of Nature ' s underlying principles as evidenced in the healthy, natural dentition, and because Trubyte Bioform Teeth provide the wide variety of natural tooth forms, and the radiant vitality of natural tooth shades, which simulate the beauty of living teeth. Esthetics and Trubyte are inseparable. Your Trubyte Representative will show you how both Esthetics and Trubyte can build your prosthetic practice.
