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.
