PEDODONTICS SOLOMON N. ROSENSTEIN, B.S., D.D.S., Professor of Dentistry Dentistry is entering an era of progress more dynamic than ever before. Our profession is becoming alert to the powerful and different needs for the future in order to serve our changing society effectively. It is in transition, ready to alter its contour and purpose, according to the influences of these needs. In pedodontics as in other branches of dentistry there is a broadening of the horizon, necessitated by the multitude of services demanded for the important and large young age group of our expanding population. Preventive dentistry represents the service of major significance and advances are being made rapidly in this essential area. The modern graduate who wishes to remain modern must continue his formal learning at the various levels of postgraduate instruction. Only in this way can he keep pace with the sound advances in prevention and other aspects of pedodontic service and apply them directly in his daily practice for children. DR. SOLOMON N.

) NICHOLAS R. Dl SALVO, B.S., D.D.S., Ph.D., Prof, of Dentistry, Director, Division of Orthodontics ORTHODONTICS Continuing education in dentistry generally takes one of two forms. One has to do with keeping abreast of developments in theory and technics of general practice; the other deals with the acquisition of new knowledge required for specialty practice. Not all of us will be concerned with the latter but, if the efforts of your instructors during the pasc tour years have achieved their objective, all of you will be keenly aware of your responsibility to main- tain your proficiency in all phases of practice in which you will be performing. In many ways this presents more of a challenge than preparing for a specialty, for in the latter case there are usually specially prepared university curricula for which the student merely enrolls. On the other hand, keeping current your present fund of knowledge requires individual effort and self discipline. During your career there will be many opportunities to do this, and it is only necessary that you recognize and exploit them. Whatever the method you choose to continue your education be sure to begin immediately. If you delay even for only a year, the process of stagnation will begin and the chances of reversing it become slimmer with each passing year bringing mediocrity as the inevitable result.

PERSONNEL Mrs. Florence V. Moore, Director of Clinic. We want to express our gratitude to all members of per- sonnel of the School of Dental and Oral Surgery for their exceptional cooperation in the performance of their duties. Their wonderful efforts have helped make our school an effi- cient organization. Each member of personnel in their re- spective position has been instrumental in achieving this result. Without the assistance of the clerical, technical, and adminis- trative staff no business or school functions with any degree of efficiency. Every member of personnel of the dental school focus their attention on the needs of the student with the knowledge that in assisting him perform his clerical, technical, and other responsibilities they are also furthering better dental education. f, % A i Seated, Left to Right: Mrs. Rose Tarantino, Mrs. Josephine Lamas, Mrs. Constance Scarvalone, Miss Marliese Roehrig, Mrs. Doris Tormes, Miss Joan Graham.
