Stanley Brottman Stan came to Columbia after three and one-half years of undergraduate school at The City College of New York, where he majored in biology and received a Bachelor of Science degree. His ability was recognized early by students and faculty members alike. Stan was elected to the William Jarvie Society and won a Public Health Fellowship in his Junior year. A strong bent towards research led Stan and Phil Block to the invention and fabrication of a universal submaxillary saliva collector. This collector is now being manufactured com- mercially and a research manuscript has been submitted to the New York State Dental Journal for publication. During the arduous years of study, Stan found time to wed his lovely fiancee, Sandy, a fashion designer. Stan ' s interests and hobbies include photography, woodworking, and he is an avid tropical fish fancier. Stan is now a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army Reserve and upon graduation he will receive silver bars in that organization. After completion of a tour of duty in the Army, Stan is planning a mixture of private practice with Phil Block, research, and a specialty in periodontia. With the enthusiasm he shows in his work, we can be sure that Stan will be an asset to his profession and a champion of the highest ideals of dentistry. 29

Philip Lloyd Block Phil came to Columbia from New York University at the Heights after three years of undergraduate work. In his freshman year, he was elected Secretary of the class. His sophomore year began with the marriage to his lovely wife, Lila, who is teaching at the present time. Phil ' s great interest in research led him and Stan Brottman to develop a submaxillary saliva collector, and also to his elec- tion to the William Jarvie Society. During the summer of his Junior year, Phil received a Public Health Service Fellowship to continue work on the submaxillary saliva collector. By the end of the summer, the collector was completed and manu- factured commercially and a paper submitted to the New York State Dental Journal. Phil ' s interests are many and varied. He has built a hi-fi, is a ham radio operator, enjoys taking pictures as well as devel- oping and printing them, and his most recent hobby has led him to join the National Rifle Association. Phil is now a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army Re- serve. When his service is completed, he plans to associate in a general practice with Stan Brottman, and to start post-gradu- ate training for a prosthetic specialty. Since dentistry has always been his goal in life, his days in the clinic have been among the happiest ones. 28

Joseph Thomas Cacioppi One of the finest students of the class, Joe came to Colum- bia from Fordham College, both far removed from his home in upstate New York. The combination of uncanny speed and skill with good re- sults were soon to make him outstanding in the technique courses. Theory courses did not faze him either as he ex- celled in these as well. His scholastic achievements were soon to reap for him a long list of honors and awards including the Alpha Omega Scholastic Award in Sophomore year and the American College of Dentists Scholastic and Achievement Award in his Junior year. As early as Sophomore year, Joe was elected to the William Jarvie Honorary Research Society where he held the offices ot Treasurer and President. He was Dr. Uccellani ' s assistant for two years and did research for Dr. Louis A. Cohn in Senior year. Joe was also a recipient of a National Institute of Pub- lic Health research grant. With all these responsibilities, Joe was still able to repre- sent his class for three years in Student Council and he joined the Psi Omega fraternity in his third year. Early in his Junior year Joe began weekly excursions to Ver- mont to visit his fiancee Carole, who became his wife at the beginning of Senior year. After graduation Joe intends to fulfill his military obliga- tions with the United States Air Force, after which he intends to settle, practice, and raise his family among the Green Mountains of Vermont. 30
