The state of the art of any profession, is a direct expression of the state of its scientific knowledge, both applied and basic. The growth of a profession ' s technical proficiencies is constant- ly accompanied by an increase in its scientific content. Con- sequently, the individual dental practitioner must not only maintain, but actively increase his knowledge of the scientific basis of his profession. Were this not true, the Class of 1962 would find itself twenty years hence practicing 1982 dentistry Melvin L. Moss, A.B., D.D.S., Ph.D., Assf Prof, of Anatomy Edmund Applebaum, D.D.S., Assoc.

In general, the nature of these demands changes as population density shifts from one age group to another, and from one type of residential area to another. These demands are also expand- ing, with the dentist-population ratio such that each dentist must bear an increasing burden of professional responsibility. In view of such considerations many new dentists will find that children will represent a large part of their practices. The dentist who welcomes these children in his practice and is prepared to provide dental service for them will find imme- diately that this is a positive practice building factor. He must recognize, too, that prevention of oral disease and disorder is an essential component of complete dental service and he must include sound measures to effect prevention in his everyday treatment planning for children. Only in this manner can the dentist fulfill his professional obligations as a modern, progressive practitioner in the health professions. Dr. Solomon N.

Horry B Van Dyke, B.S., Ph.D., M.D., David Hosack Pro!, of Pharmo., Chairman Shih-Chun Wang, B.S., M.D., Ph.D., Prof, of Pharmo. with a 1962 foundation. The advances in the basic sciences during the past twenty years will make this point clear. There is hardly an aspect of current dental practice that has not advanced as a result of these changes. Accordingly, your basic sciences faculty wishes you to realize that it has barely laid a foundation, a pavement, upon which you must build individu- ally. Surely the truly dedicated professional man can do no less. DR. MELVIN L. MOSS Walter S. Root, B.S., Ph.D., Prof, ol Physiol. Magnus I. Gregarson, A.B., M.A., Ph.D., John C.
