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

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
