CARONIA faculty advisor When someone wins an academy award, he traditionally thanks all the people behind the scenes who made his achievement possible. We, the class of 1968, are about to receive our Doctoral Degrees, and we too would like to thank someone behind the scenes. A servant of his country, his profession, and his students, this man has, for the past four years, worked tirelessly in our behalf. He has counciled us with our problems, assisted us in our future plans and shown us what dentistry is like today and what it will be like tomorrow. He has represented our school at many professional gatherings iti such a zvay as to enhance our reputa- tion. His manner and bearing have been a constant example to us of what a professional man should be. In gratitude and respect, the class of 1968 dedicates its yearbook to you. DR. GEORGE L.

A dentist is a practitioner of one of the true ' learned profes- sions ' like unto a physician or surgeon. Dentistry is one of the healing arts . . . and dentists, like physicians, perform the highest type of skilled professional service for their patients. Dentists are men of profession, who by virtue of their talents and aptitudes, and long years of study, and formal education, qualify them- selves to serve mankind and to alleviate human suffering. When a dentist furnishes a prosthesis to his patient, this is an inseparable and indivisible part and parcel of the professional service of dentistry, which con- cerns itself with diagnosis, treatment, restoration, pre- vention. A dentist does not, under the common under- standing of things . . ■ make a sale to his patient. His relationship to the patient is not that of mer- chant and ' customer, ' but that of doctor and patient; a close relationship requir- ing the skill and expertness that come with a concentra- ted background of educa- tion, training, and qualifi- cation . . . This is dentistry . . . From an opinion by Judge Walter B. Jones, Cir- cuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama, March 9, 1960. 37 It was September and we were confused, doubt- ful, and scared. For most this had been the greatest decision in our lives, but now we were unsure about meeting the test. We had made our choices for various reasons — forty to be exact. And even the lengthy interviews with Doctors Cutttta, Moss, and Applebaum failed to shake our confidence for long b ecause we had been accepted. But now we had ar- rived, masking the hollow feeling in our stomachs with forced laughter while carefully examining our thirty-nine classmates and wondering, Am 1 good enough? The rush of registration, the strange contents of the various boxes not meant for our lockers, and our first session with Dr. Moss did little for our morale. Everyone in the hospital strode with a confidence and purpose that eluded us. So we banded together seeking each other out in an effort to survive by collective strength. We worked in teams in anatomy and pooled our knowledge and sweat. But was it enough? Only the first examination would answer that and for most the concentration and effort was rewarded. And we celebrated with a tea party at 370 Fort Washington Avenue, the first of many memorable evenings at that location. Thus the year progressed, highlighted by trick or treat in anatomy and an unconvincing argu- ment that a microscope really does not work in histology. We descended on the cafeteria in our white coats wondering why the house had in- timidated us a few short weeks ago. But physiology commenced and Dr. Blank was incomprehensible: I ' ll never pass this course! We had begun a new phase of our education that depended upon printed notes cryptically signed BNA. Hardly had we adjusted to this change when we became dentists — ' Hey, how do you button one of these things? Suddenly we were expected to perform with our hands as well as our minds. Labial, lingual, gin- gival — our vocabularies failed to recognize these words. Studying for anatomy and histology (and bio- statistics — Whadda we have here? ) was now a reflex act and one that we performed until the blessed relief of Christmas vacation. There were 19 weeks remaining in the year when we retur ned in January but only 37 of us left to continue counting. While winter set in we scrutinized action poten- tials and the Krebs cycle while paying homage to the higher centers that provided an escape in neuroanatomy. We even found time to draw teeth in all sorts of pretty colors. Although a severe flood nearly washed away the biochemistry lab and Dr. Gillespie, order was soon restored — Don ' t pull that againf ' became the watchword. Meanwhile we blew the dust off the boxes in our lockers and constructed our first fixed bridges. The weeks became a blur of books and bite registrations relieved by a too brief spring vacation. We rushed to meet our deadlines for Dr. Arden and prepare for finals. The amphi- theaters were hot and the exams arduous, especial- ly physiology, which, Dr. Xocenti not withstand- ing, included a great deal of past material. But our ordeal was ended and we moved on. Only 35 returned in September but now we were experienced and well prepared for our second year. However, no amount of training could ready us for 38 microbiology and the Great Rodent. The lectures succeeded in confusing us just as much as they had last year. While pathology was more understand- able, even the best of us paled at the idea of eighty lectures. But lab periods spent in the coffee shop with Drs. Simbonis and Goldenburg made things easier. And then there was pharmacology which commenced with one insidious lecture a week that led to the trap of the first examination. We were con- structing veneer crowns, partial dentures and porcelain jackets, but only as an after-thought. That nagging, insecure feeling had returned: Sup- pose I fail Pharmacology? or, But why did Dr. Arden say that? The intricacies of cavity preparations became an added frustration. It seemed as if the clinical and basic sciences were immiscible. Thanksgiving and Christmas passed — G and G, Rob bins and stacks of printed noted were our life ' s blood. Microbiology was now a memory. With increasing fervor and anticipation we thought of March, for March meant liberation and the end of our burden. We paid scant attention to the world around us as the days rushed by — our energies and thoughts had a common goal. And suddenly we had achieved it. We crowded into the Armory and T.G. ' s and celebrated our freedom. But like an anesthetic our habits wore off slowly and for weeks we would find ourselves reaching spasmodically for nonexistent books. While the euphoria continued we rapidly became dentists. Technique work took first priority. For many this required relearning (if not redoing) the year ' s work. But of greater importance were our perw patients who not only became our first walk- ing typodonts but also presented us with a dire clinical problem: adjusting the chair. Pockets Beube introduced us to piddling on the root and we were now clinicians?! Most of us returned to the books long enough to prepare for National Boards at the Coliseum in April and we alternately groaned or smiled depending on the question. Meanwhile Dr. Cahn stressed that all cysts should be marsupialized while Dr. Budowsky took aim with his little X-ray gun and told us how to achieve maximum use of the darkroom. But it was Spring and we were rightfully content. The first hurdle was cleared and only the clinic re- mained to be mastered — and after all, we knew we could do that. The 29 who returned in the fall had maintained this confidence; in fact, most had increased it over the summer. But the sob ering truth was soon evi- dent. For most it commenced in operative where our few essential instruments had us in a daze — Hey, what ' s a 3-1-28? For others it was drip- ping greenstick, hot water floods and rubber base baths. A few retakes on copper bands f It took all period and I still didn ' t get it. ' ) convinced most of us that crown and bridge was not quite that simple. Even well-developed theoretical skills could betray us, to wit: three empty carpules and no anesthesia. Patient disappointed was written all too frequently while our ultra efficient units be- came additional sources of complication. A dash of special assignments were added to keep us happy — 39 diagnosis, ( Please wait outside until Mrs. Moore calls your name, j x-ray, surgery and endo. After emergency service most of us searched for the near- est straight jacket — We have ten patients for you today. Meanwhile, Mrs. Musterman, smiling sweetly, informed us that, I Have a repair for you, just when every prosthetics session was scheduled for the next month. Daily quizzes and a brief but insulting dose of attendance taking were further annoyances. But in spite of all the triviality we learned, albeit slowly. However, this learning differed from that of the first two years. Now for every step for- ward we took one back. Frustration, confusion and occasional despair were constant companions. Some instructors encouraged, others tore down. And so we met a new test composed of many elements and administered by different personalities. To pass the test we had to come to grips with it on an individ- ual basis. Not surprisingly old friendships cooled and new ones did not necessarily develop. We were beginning to judge, react, and seek our own paths- Dentures and points dominated our thoughts and speech. Now it was June but we had no time to sort out or reflect upon our recent experiences because the school year was eight weeks longer with the summer session. Some went to Roosevelt Hospital and faced the problem of applying knowledge on their own. To be called Doctor and treated with respect made us dread returning to the second class status of the clinic. However, the clerkship also made us realize how much we still had to learn. The rest of us plodded on through the (generally) 40 cool days until August and a brief but sorely needed respite. It was September again — our fourth and last. Once this day had been but a dream, but now it had become a reality. Our responsibility to learn and apply much in a short time remained un- changed. Yet the year entailed new ramifications. Dr. ' Grady distributed military service allotment forms and the yearly visit by the representatives of the federal sendees took on added significance. The lunchtime chatter in the eighth floor lab centered on internships and specialties. The A.D.A. and private companies mailed us information on in- surance plans. A rash of babies were born and cigar smoke filled the clinic. Gradually the words future, security, and planning became up- permost in our thoughts. The juniors began seeking us out — Is this im- pression boxed right? We were teachers as well as students and one cannot teach unless he knows and experiences. So we had learned and applied after all. Apparently the staff agreed for they treated us with a subtle yet clear trace of respect and al- lowed us an unprecedented degree of independent action. To be sure, our confidence was bolstered by these elements. However, a greater discovery was that the fog was lifting. The rationale and result of many clinical procedures were now discernablc in advance. Other problems became easier to manage because the past now worked in our favor. Mis- takes enabled us to plan ahead and avoid repeti- tions. The daily trivia of the clinic was less both- ersome because we were accustomed to it. However, the red tape progressed from the sublime to the i • iiculous with the advent of Medicaid. There another opportunity for Mrs. Moore to use her - ■ talent for character analysis by signing our :■ r slips as well as checks. Of course, then seemed to be something missing with no dental ma- terials — namely, a free period. But Dr. Ayers ' loss : . - Pedo ' s gain as zve learned by experience what ffect of moisture was on the set of amalgam. D.A.I ' , and the opportunity to perform eff iciently I made us aware that real dentistry on the outside i might offer some exciting and different possibilities. So the weeks passed. Our first operative practical re- sembled an F.B.I, investigation with the hand li rises, microscopes and cameras ( Yes Dr., I real- ise that I ' m only 0.468 mm. into dentin . . . ). ' ' ' Constructive criticism followed and we were all aware of what could be improved — if we could only see that well. For the last time we saw winter settle about the Medical center. The Picassos and Rockwells adorned every available piece of glass with their holiday scenes. Christmas vacation gave us time to reflect upon how much there was to do in so little ' ime. We returned in January to the year which we had been working towards for so long. For some, the vacation continued with successive weeks of special assignments. Service allotments were an- nounced and internship applications were returned approved. Spring arrived and feverishly we waxed crowns and set up teeth far into the night. We took the sec- ond part of the National Boards and surprised our- elves by excelling in ortho ( Richard? Yes, Mon- roeP ) and maintaining Columbia standards in the tm others, including dental materials?! The last big ef- fort, and then — Plans for the class skit began to take shape. Table seatings were arranged and tux- edos rented. Graduation questions arose: Jim, what about our caps and gowns? Another opera- tive and prosthetics practical readied us for the State Board Exams. The calendar made its appear- ance in the eighth floor lab. We trooped to Tammy Brook and imbibed and enjoyed. The cheers for Mrs. Duffy rang loud as she intoned It is now 4:30. Last call for closing. Please have your charts signed by your instructors, for the last time. We took the State Boards ( where ' s my patient? ), emptied our lockers ( There ' s my di-lock tray. I knew I had one. ), put on our caps and gowns, stood en masse for a brief moment, and we vjere professional men. Four years gone already? Is it possible that I am prepared? How will I compare with my col- leagues? Wait a minute — I feel like I did when I started, doubtful and scared.

Cain, Jr., D.D.S. Director It would be rash to attempt to foretell the future but wise indeed to evaluate the past. Modern dental technology has progressed to such a degree that today we can render adequate dental service to a substantial segment of the population, but not to all. Although there are over 100,000 dentists in our country today, only about one third of the needs of the total population is cared for. Many communities are without dentists and many families are dentally indigent. It would take all the dentists we have today most of their life to care for the present back-log of dental defects. We need more dentists to render a total health service to all. Most of the developed countries of the world have government supported health treatment plans in operation today. These vary from aid to vet- erans and less fortunate citizens to full comprehen- sive plans for the total population, including dental care. It should be noted that in all countries these movements are progressive and not retrogressive — first one group is added and then another. The na- ture of these movements points up the need for constructive action by organized dentistry in our country so that we may find a solution to the prob- lem of making dental care available on an acceptable Roy Boelstler, D.D.S., rul.

We are on the threshold of change and we must meet it to- gether — as a profession, not as individuals — with proper leadership and sound ideas; for no man is an island unto himself. However, prevention has to be looked at as the most sensible, long range solution to dental health and basic science offers a hopeful approach. In re- search today we are trying to discover the basic bio- logical factors in dental health and disease. We are using innumerable technics of the modern biologi- cal laboratory, exploring new vistas disclosed by the electron microscope and the secrets revealed by radio- isotopes in tooth and bone. We are trying to find out how the teeth and bones develop, how saliva affects the teeth, how the soft tissues give clues to bodily health and biological aging, and how certain food elements affect oral conditions. For many, restorative dentistry will solve a need — but for the rest of the population and the new gen- eration it will not. Prevention is, however, a rational solution and research a hopeful approach. To the Class of 1968, the teachers of Operative Dentistry wish to extend their best wishes for every success. Edward. 4.

Director PROSTHODONTICS The theme selected for this year ' s Dental Colum- bian is a very provocative one, especially in view of the drastically changing scene in the practice of the healing arts. Advice to a graduating senior can be varied from one extreme to the other, usually depending upon the experience of the giver. Sugges- tions might include any of the following — associate with someone to avoid the problems of starting a practice, start a practice as soon as you graduate to avoid any entanglements with anyone but yourself, become a specialist to avoid general practice, become a teacher or researcher to avoid all the problems of any kind of practice especially with increasing gov- ernment intervention, at least complete an intern- ship before deciding what to do. These are but a few of the suggestions which might be offered. Personally my feeling is, and always has been, that you owe yourself and your family a debt — to be happy with whatever choice you make. This may sound strange since this is the goal I ' m sure we all strive for. Too often, however, we are incorrectly motivated by others. A midtown practice may be fine for one person, but the bane of another ' s existence. A grad- uate today, can in a very short time, usually build up a good practice in any community. The first and most Edward P. Kesseler, D.D.S. , Ass ' t. Clin. Prof., Edward M. Ras, D.D.S., Ass ' t., Joseph C. De Lisi, D.D.S., Ass ' t. Clin. Prof. John M.Scarola, D.D.S. Inst. Joseph J.

The rest should follow naturallv. A man who likes a particular field in den- tistry should take advanced training and pursue it. If teaching or research appeals to you, by all means pursue this. With increasing government help, the financial gap between private practice and these en- deavors is no longer as wide as in the past. Although it is very difficult to give anyone in par- ticular advice at this stage, in any case I feel you must have a feeling of satisfaction from your work. Den- tistry is demanding in time and effort, probably much more so than many other fields of endeavor. If you do not enjoy your work, your life can be miserable indeed. In any case, whatever choice you make, al- ways give it your very best in terms of your ability — continue being a student throughout your profes- sional career — don ' t attempt to be a loner but instead be active in organized dentistry and you will find much greater rewards. The staff of the Prosthodontics Section congratu- lates you all on the successful completion of four years of hard work. We wish you the success and happiness you so richly deserve. John J. Lucca.

Robinson Professor Director, Division of Stomatology Words of advice to the graduating senior are gen- erally as effective as the do ' s and don ' t ' s of the distraught but relieved mother to her anticipat- ing daughter as the latter leaves for a belated honey- moon. If the environment and the upbringing of the past four years have succeeded in developing and molding a desirable professional character in each of you then you need no words of advice. If, on the other hand, we have failed to obtain this objective then any words of advice will be as effective as a ten second shower on a barren desert. Nevertheless, I suppose I could advise you: (a) to do everything possible to increase your knowledge and perfect your skills; (b) to join your alumni soci- ety and support its activities; (c) to demonstrate your gratitude to your school; (d) to abide by the ideals of your profession; etc., etc. But you are aware of these obligations — and they are indeed the obligations of a professional! I would rather write about one other responsi- bility which is not as frequently discussed and one which is as important, namely your obligation to the community in which you live. Far too often the dentist restricts his activities to the labors of his practice and to the enjoyments of his country club, behaving more like a self-centered recluse who knows little and cares less about the problems of his fellow man. You are highly educated — you are socially accepted — you are endowed with a personality few others pos- sess — and above all, you are in a profession which demands a deep understanding of people. Use these attributes in improving the social as well as the health welfare of your community. E.V. Zegarelli. D.D.S. Director Austin H. Kutscher D.D.S. Associate Professor Irwin D. Mandel D.D.S.

It must teach him methods of study so as to enable him to keep pace with devel- opments. It must open up horizons for him, lead him in attaining correct sense of values, in developing his attitude toward life, in one word, his philoso- phy. The actual work must be done by the student himself. A teacher worthy of this title, and in any institu- tion of learning, should be provocative in a manner which will motivate the students to delve beyond the immediate lecture or seminar that is under dis- cussion.

The instructor ' 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 per- sonal communication 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 ac- crue 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.

Instructor ORAL SURGERY The Division of Oral Surgery supports with no reservations the concept of the scientific dentist as the objective of Columbia ' s undergraduate dental curriculum. The program of the division is designed to develop the student ' s capability to solve the med- ical and surgical problems of the mouth and jaws through the scientific application of basic science facts. This takes the form of problem solving as the basis for teaching sessions in lectures, seminars, and clinics. The Division takes this opportunity of reminding the Class of 1968 of their good fortune of having re- ceived their undergraduate training here at Colum- bia. We do so in the security of knowing that when you enter advanced training in the hospital, dental school or federal services you will have many op- portunities to agree with this philosophy. You go with our best wishes and our assurances that you have within you the potential for leadership and our hopes that you will use it wisely. Rudolph H. Friedrich, D.D.S. Rudolph H.

The advent of various Medicaid plans and the increase in group insurance plans with den- tal benefits for dependents of teachers and other large groups of workers have already created an expanding demand for dentistry for children. Al- though school age children have been required to obtain dental care in the past, a large part of the new demand for treatment is for preschool age children who might not have been brought to the dentist otherwise. Dentistry for this important age group in our pop- ulation offers properly trained dentists many inter- esting challenges and deep professional satisfactions. Favorable orientation of very young patients to ac- ceptance of the need for regular dental care can bring only benefit to these children and their fami- lies. The early and repeated visits provide the den- tist with repeated opportunities to apply sound measures for preventive dentistry whose effective- ness is all the greater because they are applied early. Through application of a philosophy of prevention and the measures to effect it, we accomplish our pro- fession ' s highest purpose. Solomon N. Rosenstein, B.S., D.D.S. Solomon N.

Instructor The day which you dreamed of four years ago, and which vou may at times have thought would never arrive, is suddenly here! You are to be congratu- lated for your hard earned diploma. You can justly entertain a feeling of accomplishment at having suc- cessfullv completed your undergraduate program in dentistrv. But this, you must realize, is only the necessary first accomplishment for a career in den- tistrv. You have now earned the privilege, and as- sumed the responsibility, to continue your profes- sional education and development for as long as you remain active in dentistry. This is an era of rapid change. Your dental edu- cation, the finest anywhere, may very soon become obsolete! Only your determination to continue your studies can preserve and renew it. This you must do, bv continuing to read the current literature, by reg- ular attendance at scientific sessions of your dental society, by participating in post-graduate courses offered by the dental societies and the universities, and bv joining together with colleagues in small study groups to exchange information and to share vour experiences. Hard work? Perhaps — but the satis- faction which comes from knowing you are giving your very best service to your patients, and that you are held in high esteem by patients and colleagues, is a reward which cannot be equalled.

Leavitt, D.D.S., Director The need for — nay, the demand for dental services by both individuals and organized society is increas- ing rapidly. So rapidly, in fact, that the beginning dentist ' s problem of earning a decent income is almost academic. If you graduate with a reasonable number of fingers you will earn a relatively good income in short time. This is fine, but the increase d demands create increased problems and responsibil- ities. The new age dentist will be required not only to treat more patients and frequently at lower, gov- ernmentally regulated fees, but will be obliged to spend time assisting in establishing and enforcing standards which will protect the patient. As an endodontist, I can also assure you that the average layman is much more knowledgeable about newer technics in dentistry than he used to be. Therefore, their demands to be provided with the newer services will be much greater on you than they have been on we old timers. Let me offer my sincere congratulations on your graduation and temper it with the reminder that the half-life of dental knowledge is about seven years. This really frightening bit of information simply means that you are all going to have to work awfully hard to keep up with the many changes in dental concepts and technics as they rapidly develop in the future if you are going to avoid being left behind in the dust.

It is incumbent upon you to provide new and better dental care for more and more people. One way to accomplish this is more efficient util- ization of your dental auxiliaries. You must adopt concepts of four-handed dentistry to keep the hands of the dentist and the chairside assistant busy at all times. You must divest yourselves of the time- consuming minutia involved in your practices so that you can devote your entire talents to those du- ties which you alone can perform. Your auxiliary help must be educated to perform these tasks to assist in attaining this goal. However, to most effectively utilize your auxiliaries, particu- larly your chairside assistant, you must change as well the traditional concept of the dental office. You must use only the latest and most modern equip- ment for without it the concept of four-handed dentistry cannot be fully employed. You have received the finest dental education possible and now you must put it into practice in accordance with the highest ideals of your chosen profession. You must also provide maximum service for your patients. Therefore, my advice to you is after having chosen the location of your office, se- lect your equipment wisely and with an eye to the future. Employ trained, qualified auxiliaries at the earliest possible moment in vour careers. George L. O ' Grady, D.D.S. George L. O ' Grady, D.D.S. Associate Professor Assistant Dean 65 ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL The two week dental clerkship at the Roosevelt Hospital is designed to acquaint the senior dental student with the broader perspective of total health care. He is given an opportunity to see patients with varied disease processes, many of which he has heard mentioned in his preclinical years. In addition, he sees the role of the oral surgeon within the total spectrum of hospital care. During his two week stay at Roosevelt he becomes acquainted with the gen- eral functions of the hospital. He sees and assists in the emergency room and operating room. He is given an opportunity to attend ward and special rounds. He comes into contact with varied services of a modern hospital including the medical records department, speech therapy, physical medicine and rehabilitation and the hospital ' s laboratories. By bringing his dental school training to the hos- pital he is enabled to evaluate the role which these services play in relation to patients with oral as well as general medical and surgical problems. We at Roosevelt derive a sense of satisfaction in being able to provide the graduating dentist with a glimpse of the role of the hospital in total care of patients. We further hope that what we have been able to contribute will be of value to both the Col- umbia graduate and, through him, to the dental profession at large. Gerald E. Lederman, D.D.S. Andrew M.

With clean white jackets, their own Ritter Ap- pointment books, and only one 556 bur, twenty- three young stalwarts marched confidently into the clinic and after trying on a rubber dam for an hour and a half finally departed, wiping away their tears with cotton rolls they were not permitted to use. Except for Joel, who miraculously knew all there was to know, many of us were initially discouraged. Charles G. immediately went into anaphylactic shock, Ephraim returned to making jewelry, and Ralph let loose with a blood-curdling yawn. Yet there were many important things to be learned that just could not be found in Swenson or Tylman. For example, the three-quarters in den- tin everybody was talking about meant millime- ters, not inches. Also, despite requests from edentu- lous patients full dentures could not be ready in a week and a half, even if we worked late on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Actually, the lab nights were very helpful to some of us. Austin, in one of his late inning rallies for which he is so famous, is rumored to have waxed up a removable partial den- ture, constructed an acrylic splint, set four posterior denture teeth, and brewed three cups of coffee in the space often minutes one Tuesday evening. And then there was the lighter side of the year. Who could forget the laughs when Beryl exposed 968 of Jack ' s X-Rays in radiology or when the Hoop soldered a 4 unit bridge directly in the mouth? Contests were created to break the tension. Juley broke the record for the fastest pulp exposure and received deserved acclaim since it occurred on the first Operative practical. Chuck ' s string of late- ness was broken by the team of Gleidman and Gleid- man who took attendance at 9 a.m. sharp and made every fourth potential dentist into a custodian. And yet we learned. Though we were tired and anxious we never gave up — even if the instructors did. But now we were eager to begin the Senior year and start on those 60 points everyone talks about Julius Kunofsky 74 ufM.r rry I y. CLASS OF 1970 Seated: J. Samburg, J. Gold, C. Evans, G. Robinson, J.

As we progressed to term we experienced those things that make life interesting — the unexpected: Andy ' s tooth in the sink, the United Nations in phar- macology, and a mimeo machine that wouldn ' t say die! By year ' s end we had confined our impres- sions to the mouth and science became technical rather than basic. But that is to get ahead of the story. The story that began in September 1966 was to re- sume the following year. We returned eager to be- come clinicians; but first the tribulations of a neophyte. The pathology and microbiology departments held a marathon: who could keep us seated for the greatest period of time. Pathology won but micro- biology floored us — then we discovered Dr. Kabat actually worked for the ophthalmology department! It was during the first term that the fittest survived. Operative and Crown and Bridge resembled weight lifting 101. The biggest question of the term was not Who broke Leo ' s box? but to petition or not to petition. It has oft been said that susceptibility to various maladies is greatest during the first term. True. We played with Salmonella, Tuberculum Bacillus, and Gonococcus. No major epidemics. To the clergy we reserve the privilege. In December pharmacology followed microbiolo- gy. Our thanks to Dr. Chien for providing a shock- proof foundation. Pathology followed Friday nights. Our thanks to Dr. King for providing a different and interesting course. The diversity available to us was enjoyable and educational. It was November that the word Clinic first ap- peared on our schedule (only to be postponed by a footnote). The basic sciences drew to a close with Orals in pathology — not to be confused with the course of the same name which began the following week. Not having reached the end of the third trimes- ter, we prematurely experienced the trauma of our first patient. It was time to leave the warmth and security or someone else ' s judgment. April and National Boards . . . hats off to Colum- bia ' s training program. To our first two years ... a toast. Come next September we will see to what use our knowledge will b e put.

September 1967 found 43 men and one young wo- man embarking upon a career in the never ending challenge of dentistry. The definite rumor was the red name tags came off, or was it the other way around? We quickly came to know each other, Cun- ningham, Pansky, Gray, and Irving. We became the class of the official rumor: the muscle triad would definitely be on the histology exam. Oh, yes, when will we have the D.M.D. degree, and when will Dr. Moss receive the Nobel Prize? Gentlemen, this is functional human anatomy, and you are now two weeks behind. In due time, coffee and sweetrolls were served over cadavers. There were lantern shows from Dr. Rogers and Al- bert performed ghoulish deeds in exchange for cigars and spirits. 78 Kneeling: R. Fleischman, N. Campman, S. Tushman, M. Swerdlof, P. Winston.

After the second exam the class was stratified, al- though the tea was not that bad. It was only a dis- crepancy between the practical and written parts of the exam. Marc impaled his metatarsal with the fastest scalpel in the East. Vacation! Rest! A trip to California or Miami; some skied, Sol studied, Jim and Mike cranked the ditto machine. Back to the dim corridors — Harvey lost the distal of his lower left thumb — oh, that dental anatomy! We enjoyed the T.V. antics of Dr. Arden, but did he really freeze the clay? And so this year of both triumph and defeat comes to a close. It had been difficult and traumatic, yet with childish eagerness we anticipate the next three years. Is there really going to be a new clinic?

Work for the degree must be com- pleted in one academic year of resident study, either full or part-time. PROGRAM B This program, designed for graduates of certificate dental hygiene programs, provides an opportunity to increase competency through study while in ser- vice. Through various combinations of lectures, reading assignments, group projects and study, guid- ed practice and field work, and observation and re- search, students are prepared for teaching positions in basic dental hygiene programs and administrative positions in public health. Upon graduation the stu- dent is awarded a Bachelor of Science degree with a concentrated area of study within dental hygiene education. PROGRAM A Program A is a two year program of dental hygiene education for students who have completed two years of study in a college or university approved by Columbia. The students admitted to this program find a great contrast to their prior academic experi- ence. They become a part of a health service that requires a generous investment of time and energy and an awareness of personal as well as social obli- gation. Upon graduation the student is awarded a certifi- cate of proficiency in dental hygiene in combination with a Bachelor of Science degree. She is then quali- fied to enter private practice, public health, dental health education, or continue her studies for a Mas- ters degree. 87 CLASS OF 1969 PROGRAM A Seated: B. Sauer, J. Morrow, L.

Standing: J. Triant, M. Cheron, S. Lehrhaupt, C. Young, J. Kleiman, W. Bornstein, H. Gralnick, S. Peiser, M. Swerdloff. The objectives of Alpha Omega are expressed in its ideals of Fraternalism, Scholarship and Profes- sionalism. The membership is selected from under- graduates of high scholarship on the basis of char- acter, leadership and personality. The fraternity endeavors to aid the undergraduate members both professionally and socially. The fraternity house is available to the members for laboratory work, a quiet area to study and for social functions. The fraternity also holds monthly meet- ings where a speaker is invited to talk on a topic of interest. Alpha Omega is also a service organization, dedi- cated to bringing the profession of dentistry to new- heights. A.O. sponsors numerous projects for the world-wide advancement of dentistry. Notable among these efforts is the establishment and main- tenance of a dental school in Israel. The fraters are also invited to visit the offices of graduate fraters under the Big Brother Plan. Junior and Senior members are eligible to apply for an interest free loan from the M.M. Fintz fund. Alpha Omega does not end with graduation. We believe that the friendships made during the undergraduate years will stand the test of time. The spirit of professional excellence, which is fostered in the undergraduate chapter, will equip the fraters to take their places as leaders in the field of dentistry. Joel M.

Standing: J. Triant, R. DeLuke, M. Equi, C. Cueiakis, R. Wezmar, A. Homicz, J. Kosinski, G. Ranta, P. Ponte, R. Mclntyre. Psi Omega is a professional fraternity whose object is to maintain and promote a high standard of dentistry by help- ing to instill in its members a spirit of fraternal cooperation. Working as a group, the fraternity can exert its influence for the advancement of the dental profession in methods of teaching, practice, research, ethics, and jurisprudence. The fraternity serves as a vehicle which allows students to meet with faculty and alumni on a social basis and discuss areas of common interest and cultivate friendships. The program of the fraternity is varied. Speakers, movies, and discussions supplement the formal school training and investigate current trends in dentistry while the social events allow students and faculty to know one another bet- ter. Our gratitude is extended to those brothers whose hard work made this year ' s program possible, to the faculty for their active support, and to Drs. Joseph Dejulia and Albert Zengo, our deputy councilors, for their time and guidance. Thomas A. Wilson, President HONOR COURT Seated: A. Trojanas, T. Finken. Standing: J. Samburg, R. Bowden, E. Shulman. Not Photographed: M. Brishin, ( . Meese. The initiation of an honor code at Columbia Un- iversity School of Dental and Oral Surgery- in 1964 was the realization of an entity consistent with the aims and goals of a professional school. Far more important than the code- is the spirit which its initi- ation signified: honesty and integrity for oneself and on one ' s own. Without this feeling the knowl- edge obtained in the last four years is of little sig- nificance. With the vision of a new school on the horizon the members of the Honor Court are con- fident that this atmosphere will continue.

Evans, S. Tolbert. Not Photographed: J. Dooley, D. Salopek. Student Government as we know it today affords the student an opportunity to ex- press his opinions in a constructive manner for the collective benefit of the student body, faculty, and the University. As the core of this Government the Stu- dent Council has undertaken various activi- ties in the past. They include sponsoring the Senior Farewell Dance, the improvement of facilities in the Pedodontia Clinic, and the investigation and establishment of in- surance for the instrument kits. Under the University expansion program new facilities for School of Dental and Oral Surgery will be erected. The Council has been instrumental in presenting the stu- dent ' s needs and preferences to those re- sponsible for its planning and design. Steven I. Munk President.

Shulman (Secretary), R. Greenberg ( ' ice President). Standing: D. Zegarelli, N. Boyd, Q. Murphy, A. Rosell, C. Gueiakis, S. Katz. The William Jarvie Society was founded in 1920 through the efforts of Dr. William Gies. It was named for a man whose untiring efforts did so much to pro- mote interest in dental research. The society ' s aim is the stimulation and encouragement of interest in dental research. Admission to the society is on the basis of academ- ic standing, and a professed or demonstrated inter- est in dental research. Each member of the society is expected to engage in individual or group research projects. In addition, the members have the singular privilege of ab- stracting the Journal of Oral Therapeutics for the American Dental Association ' s publication, Dental Abstracts. All of the societies activities are under the inspired guidance of its much revered faculty advisor, Dr. Austin H. Kutscher. Joseph Metzger President 97 OMICRON KAPPA UPSILON Dr. J.A. Cuttita, Dr. E. L. Uccellani, President, Dr. VS. (aroma. Dr. J.A. Dejulia. Dr. A. H. Kulsc In -i . Past President 98 The admission to membership in this national honorary dental fraternity is made on the basis of professional maturity and integrity, and contribu- tions to dentistry, as well as the attainment of out- standing scholastic achievement during the four years of dental education. The constitution provides that each chapter elect to membership not more than twelve percent of a graduating senior class, the se- lection to be based on high scholarship and out- standing character. To be selected as a recipient of this award should be a gratifying experience, es- pecially if the history of Omicron Kappa Upsilon is considered. The fraternity had its origin on June 26, 1913, in a petition from the class of 1914 at North- western Dental School to its Dean, Dr. G.V. Black. Through his efforts, there were ten dental schools participating by 1915, while at present there are fifty-five chapters. The guiding principle of the fraternity is symbol- ized by the Greek letters on its pin. The most prom- inent letter in the design is Sigma which stands for conservation, and Omicron and Upsilon the initial letters for the Greek words meaning teeth and health appear within the larger symbol of conservation. Columbia University was granted a charter and became a component chapter — Epsilon Epsilon — in 1934. The members of Epsilon Epsilon Chapter ex- tend to you, the class of 1968, our heartiest congrat- ulations and best wishes for a lifetime of success and happiness in your chosen profession. We sincerely hope that your professional career will be guided by the standards you have been taught and by the high principles which have served our members. Dr. Joseph A. Cuttita Secretary-Treasurer STUDENT DENTAL ASSOCIATION Sealed: J. Series (Coordinating Chairman), T. Wilson (President), M. Rubin (Vice President). Standing: W. McManus, R. Hayes, T. Tong, M. Fidler. The Student Dental Association endeav- ors to inculcate in its student members the ideals of professionalism and scholarship that will carry them in good stead through- out their undergraduate and professional careers. Based on these goals the organiza- tion has contributed to the ever expanding role of the dentist in society. The programs of the Association are varied and tend to supplement and broaden the scope of formal school training. The high- light of the year is the annual Student Clin- ic Day. At this time the student members present table clinics on current and theo- retical procedures and examine the trends of dental thinking and experimentation. Thus membership in the Student Dental Association prepares the graduate for the demands that his profession and society will make upon him. Thomas A. Wilson President 99 Dentist, n.

A single gold was used to cover all classes of restoration regardless of structural or esthetic needs. That is why Ney Research has now de- veloped 3 Super Micro-Grain Ceramic Golds: SMG-l, medium hard; SMG-2, hard; and SMG-3, extra hard. • Super Micro-Grain eliminates critical casting tempera- tures inherent with other ceramic alloys. • All SMG Ceramic Golds have Super Micro-Grain. • This means exceptionally dense, strong castings with improved resistance to tearing. • They finish beautifully. • Have maximum strength for thin margins. • Locked-in Super Micro-Grain maintains physical properties of the alloy during repeated firing. • Super Micro-Grain alloys are compatible with the principle porcelain to gold systems.
