Dedication The reputation of any academic institution is implicit- ly bound to the reputation of its faculty. Here at Colum- biawe are fortunate to have had an education of excellence, an excellence created mainly from the combined mental and manual skills of persons devoted to the practice and teaching of dentistry. In spite of what some in the dental profession would have us believe, the addition of bright new equipment can add little to the quality or value of education one can obtain from its use. We who have completed four years of dental education at Columbia can attest to this. Unfortunately it is impossible to honor all those who have had a part in ably leading us to this threshold of our careers. It is customary that only one faculty member be chosen by the graduating class to receive the praise that is deserving to many. This year ' s recipient is a man who has given long and devoted service to the School of Den- tal and Oral Surgery. But aside from his length of tenure which in itself tells little about the man. it is his personal and human qualities which mark him for this, the highest honor which the graduating class can bestow. Edward M. Cain, D.D.S., Columbia, 1945, is a quiet, unpretentious man. His skill as a practitioner of dentistry is well known to all of us at Columbia and the dental world at large. More importantly, he conscientiously tries to treat students as equals and not look with dis- dain at those who must learn from his skill. He is first and last for the student, and many times will go out of his way to prove it. Combine these qualities with the driest of humors and a caustic wit and you have a rather excep- tional individual. To this person, Edward M. Cain, D.D.S.,the 1965 Denial Columbian is gratefully dedicated.
