Dr. Daniel Budasoff Dr. Daniel Budasoff is truly an example of a man who teaches above and beyond the call of duty. For several months, on his time, he arranged for a series of lectures in areas of pros- thetics which he felt would be of interest and of value. His enthusiasm attracted many people over and over again, producing an enjoyable learning experi- ence. It seemed that these 5 o ' clock optional lec- tures were better attended than the noontime re- quired lectures. As an instructor on the floor, his standards are high but realistic, and his ultimate goals are quality patient care and quality learning. Dr. Budasoff — teacher, friend, advisor. Thanks a lot, Dan.

Columbia University in the City of New York , New York, N.Y. 10032 SCHOOL OF DENTAL AND ORAL SURGERY 630 West 16atn street Office of the Dean May 20, 1982 Dear Class of 1982, In September of 1978, we both started our Freshman year at the School of Dental and Oral Surgery, Columbia University you as predoctoral D.D.S. students and me as Dean. We have shared two common experiences during the past four years: the assimilation of new knowledge and the gaining of confidence in our own abilities. Each day over the past four years you struggled to learn a tremendous volume of new and difficult basic science and clinical information. I learned of your hopes and aspirations and those of the faculty. Then, I learned how to convey those thoughts to others outside our school. Confidence in yourselves soared as you found out that you could master the new knowledge required of you and could even practically apply that know- ledge in the treatment of your patients . I gained more confidence each year as I realized that those outside the School saw our student body and faculty as worthy to support because you were unified in the goal of excellence in the pursuit of knowledge. Today, you will graduate from the School and use your new knowledge and confidence to pave a bright future for yourselves, our profession and for the public we serve. You have helped me remain confident in the future of our School because you have demonstrated to me through your enthusiasm and excel- lence that it is worth the daily struggle to provide a Columbia education to future generations of students. As my first SDOS graduating class, the Class of 1982 will always remain special. Please accept my appreciation for your help as I made the transition from Freshman to Senior Dean. On behalf cf the Faculty, we congratulate you on your accomplishments and encourage you to continue a close association with us in the future. Sincerely yours, QuaJl Allan J. rormicola, D.D.S. Dean lc
