EDUCATORS AND THEIR STUDENTS Henry F. Sigerist, considered by many to be the greatest medical historian of our time, if not of all time, stated: The university must do definitely more than teach facts and theories. It must help the student to develop his faculties, must train him to think in- dependently and critically, so that he may form his own judgments. It must teach him methods of study so as to enable him to keep pace with developments. It must open up horizons for him, lead him in attain- ing correct sense of values, in developing his attitude toward life, in one word, his philosophy. The actual work must be done by the student himself. A teacher worthy of this title, and in any institution of learning, should be provocative in a manner which will motivate the students to delve beyond the imme- diate lecture or seminar that is under discussion. The student ' s responsibility is to objectively question any and all statements made by the teacher. The instruc- tor ' s accumulated experience in research and clinical practice should be constantly tapped by the students. This valuable approach to learning will prevail if a close association through adequate personal com- munication exists between the students and teacher. Without this interaction, the value of teaching, whether by slides, films, television or programmed instruction, would be less effectual. I am firmly convinced that these concepts in edu- cation, if constantly and carefully applied, will accrue to the benefit of the students, and the teachers will be gratified with the results. I hope, as one of your instructors, I have, in a measure, imparted them to you, whereby they may be useful in whatever area of dentistry you may choose to participate in the future. All the members of the Division of Perio- dontology join me in wishing you success as you desire it. Frank E. Beube, D.D.S. Charles L. Berman, D.D.S. Ass I. Clin. Prof. Alvin Cederbaum, D.D.S.
