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.

Prof of Anatomy Dorothy D. Johnson, A.B., M.A., Ph.D., Ass ' f Prof, of Anatomy Inevitably our society is placing increasing quantitative and qualitative demands upon the general dental practitioner. 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.

D.D.S., D.D.S., Instructor in Dentistry Instructor in Dentistry Instructor in Dentistry instructor in Dentistry fa m In medicine and dentistry this is the day of the team approa to total care for the individual. On paper and in conversatk there is no substitute for bringing the very best of knowledi and skills to bear on the complicated dental problems in the r habilitation of oral, facial, and speech defects. There can be i argument that specialization has produced highly refined knov edge and skills which can produce the ultimate of high stan V ards of dental care. The transition from the generalist who alone assumed the r sponsibility for decision and treatment, to the system of tree ment by committee or specialist team, may eliminate the ge eral practitioner, but his important function of treatment corr lation will probably shift to the specialist in restorative dentist who at the present time seems to be the proper leader of tf dental team. Leadership is where you find it. It is not an aut matic development or in any of the specialties of dental pra tice. In the future development of group or health center pra tice it seems natural to expect the restorative dental special to be a prime coordinator of the specialists in children ' s dentist and orthodontia, diagnosis, and the management of medic and surgical problems of the oral tissues, and the restoratii of form and function. Such leadership will assure the functk of specialization in the interest of the patient rather than tl interest of the specialist. Dr. Rudolph H. Friedrich Louis J.
