The Staff of the Restorative Division extends its sincere congratulations to the Class of 1961 upon completion of the prescribed course of study. We hope that our basic objectives have been attained and that you have acquired a useful core of principles and skills. Teaching and learning cannot stop here. It would be a sad commentary on dental education if you, as a group, were not stimulated to study, read, write, and participate in the never- ending search for answers to the problems of oral health and disease. Teachers by tradition are presumed to be dogmatic and authoritarian. Their self-confidence, bred by skill, experience, and success, may impart to the student the false impression that there are no problems as yet unsolved. We hope this is not the case at Columbia. The Staff of the Restorative Division has always invited and encouraged your participation in the search for information and its application. We regret that the pressures of an overcrowded curriculum have precluded an even greater utilization of a well-accepted principle of edu- cation — that learning occurs in direct proportion to the mental activity of the learner. We appreciate the need for more inde- pendent study, more extra-curricular reading, research and writing — in other words, a greater development of the mental resources and a greater intellectual effort on the parr of the student. To keep abreast of new developments, to evaluate new materials and techniques, to render an optimally beneficial professional service to patients, you must continue your dental education. This education need not be along formal lines, nor in traditional areas. Participation in Dental Society section and committee work, hospital service, oral health community efforts and allied activities provide opportunities for education in a broader sense and give the graduate an awareness of his relationship to the public, whom he is dedicated to serve.

By meriting and accepting the degree of doctor of dental surgery you have been extended the prized privilege of prac- tising in a health profession. But the exercising of a privilege in any area of human relations carries with it a duty or re- sponsibility to society. So too with the privilege of practicing dentistry — you do automatically assume an associated obliga- tion to your patients. One of the incumbent obligations is that of continuing your education — continuing it as long as you remain in the practise of dentistry. Four years of learning dentistry as an undergraduate should be viewed as merely an excellent start. Surely, even the most learned and skilled amongst you must realize that your dental school can be expected to supply only fundamentals of a pro- fession — that there is much more which has not been taught. Add to this the fact that advances and progress in our profes- sion — both technical and scientific — are almost daily occur- rences and one must necessarily conclude that learning must be continuous. The public — your patients — have a right to expect that you, the family dentist, will be aware of, will be familiar with or prepared to supply the best professional health services. Not only have they this right but, more important, you are under obligation to possess this knowledge by virtue of being a member of a health profession. You cannot escape this inherent responsibility of con- stantly learning, of continually striving to improve your knowledge and skills. By so doing, you not only fulfill your obligation to society but you also become a worthy member of a worthy profession. The members of the Division of Stomatology extend to you our best wishes as well as offer the hope that you will live up to the high standards of our profession. Dr. Edward V.
