President’s Message GREETINGS. As the first class of this peace-time era, you who are the 1946 graduates of the Dental School are about to be presented with an opportunity and a responsibility. The war depleted the ranks of your profession. At the same time, it revealed the need which the nation has for your skill. Selective Service data show conclusively that millions of our people are not meeting minimum standards of dental health. This is a condition that must be remedied by better health education which you will help to supply. It also calls for a larger number of well-trained dentists, and your availability now will be a timely response to that call. You are entering your profession at a time when its demands are heavy. The period of the war brought advances in dental methods and techniques, and since progress begets» progress, further advance may be expected at an accelerated rate. You will keep abreast of it, of course. I hope you also will contribute to it. As you take leave of us, be assured that the best wishes of the University go with you. I am confident you will fulfill with distinction the requirements of your task.
