ORAL SURGERY Rudolph H. Friedrich, D.D.S. William Carr Professor of Oral Surgery The basic objectives of the Division of Oral Surgery are to develop, maintain and expand a strong program of undergraduate education in Oral Surgery and to provide the quality of service to clinic patients which will make the clinic attractive to sufficient patients to assure an adequate quantity and scope of oral surgical problems for teaching material. Both the student body and the staff have special res- ponsibilities toward fulfilling these goals. The staff ' s primary function is to assist the student in acquiring the requisite knowledge of the entire field of Oral Surgery. Recognition of the medical and surgical problems of the mouth, the ability to make intelligent referrals, the development of a curiosity and enthusiasm for the use of pertinent literature are all of prime importance in the development of the student ' s professional ability. In addition, the qualities of thoroughness, cleanliness, con- sideration and thoughtfulness must be instilled in the student to arrive at the desired goal of a well rounded dentist. The basic skills of oral surgical technique are presented in such a way that the student receives con- comitantly clinical and didactic training in a given area. The Columbia graduate is capable of performing all the essential of dento-alveolar surgery in a private general practice situation because of his grounding in both the theory and practice of good oral surgery techniques.

ORTHODONTICS Nicholas A. DiSalvo, B.S., D.D.S.. Ph.D. Professor of Dentistry On behalf of the staff of the Division of Orthodontics I extend good wishes for success to the class of 1965. For those of you who will continue in the attitudes we of the Facultv have tried to develop in you, success is assured. The practice of dentistry demands biologic knowledge as well as manual skill. Neither one alone is sufficient: both are equally important. However, a third equally im- portant factor is a deep sense of obligation toward the patient and to society. There is no one course in the dental curriculum which teaches this. Rather, so basic is this that, like biologic knowledge and manual skill, it has formed an important part of the content of each subject you have studied. How well you realize this last objective will determine not only your own success, but also the future of the entire dental profession. Be aware that there are powerful forces at work which if unchecked may de- stroy the traditional doctor-patient relationship of mutual trust and confidence. It is your duty as a new member of an honorable profession to counteract these forces by your actions as well as your words. The simplest and most effective way to do this is to apply the golden rule in all of your relations with patients and with society. Treat others as you would like to be treated — fairly, respectfully, compassionately. Nicholas A. Di Salvo. B.S., D.D.S., PhD. Walter G. Spengeman. D.D.S. NOT PHOTOGRAPHED Richard Gliedman. D.D.S.
