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.

ORTHODONTICS i JJ-t- ' 1 -J J J Jr 1 4 NICHOLAS A. 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.
