DEDICATIONS Harold D. Baurmash We have had the privilege to listen to lectures on the fundamentals of oral surgery and to work with Dr. Harold Baurmash in the oral surgery clinic. At the end of our sophomore year, we had our first oral surgery rotation. We were young and inexperi- enced dental students, which Dr. Baurmash changed very quickly. He allayed all our fears and apprehen- sions on the first day. His teaching method is one of hands on experience — you learn by doing. We will fondly remember Dr. Baurmash instruct- ing us in his strong and resounding voice — Numb ' em up! , Luxate, luxate! , MORE buccal! , Take a fist full of tush and stab! , and especially for the remark Of course it ' s going to hurt! We completed our oral surgery rotations greatly enriched from our clinical experience with Dr. Baurmash. During our junior year, Dr. Baurmash was very ill and had to undergo a serious operation. We prayed that he would return to good health and he has. He has bounced back and has resumed his place in the oral surgery clinic — yelling at the students, yelling at the patients, yelling, yelling, yelling and loving every minute of it. Thank you for your devotion to Columbia Dental School and its students and for being an inspiring teacher and a caring friend!
