Dedication Dr. Louis Herman As we, the Forty-Niners, approach our goal, we pause in retrospect to summarize the incidents and personages that have made our journey through the past four years enjoyable. In reflecting back, we feel that we are especially indebted to that congenial gentleman with a heart of gold—Dr. Louis Herman. As a member of the Admission Committee, Dr. Herman was one of the first faculty members we became associated with in dental school. Since that time, Dr. Herman has been a constant source of assistance to the Forty-Niners. He was never too busy to listen to our problems or to intercede for us when necessary. He was a true friend when we needed friends. For the many contributions, both large and small, which he has given to us, we respectfully dedicate the 1949 “Odon-tolog” to Dr. Louis Herman, who will always remain in our memories as “Uncle Louie.

Theme—The Forty-Niners FROM the sunny shores of California to the rocky shoals oi Massachusetts, the seventy-seven Forty-Niners, who only four years ago began their quest for a golden reward in the profession of Dentistry, have at last received a clear title to their respective claims. Each Forty-Niner now has his own acre of diamonds to work upon, and his returns will be measured by his own contributions to his profession. Like our forefathers, who one hundred years ago completed their journey westward in quest of their golden fortunes, our journey has not been without incident. The journey has been long and weary—the days and nights have often melted into one. We have gained our inspiration from the success of those who have gone before us. When we began our journey we were inexperienced and uncertain. Our trail was charted, however, having been traveled over many times before by men and women who were no better prepared than we. We were protected by scouts and guides who were more experienced in the ways of the road and who guided us safely past pitfalls and unforeseen dangers. Now that we are completing the first important phase of our journey, our guides have left us to bring other groups of adventurers safely over the same trails. We have now entered upon the last phase of our journey along life's highway, where every man must be his own guide. Whether, or not, we successfully complete this adventure is our own responsibility. It depends upon the way we utilize the tools and knowledge that have been given to us, and last, but not least, the consideration we give to fellow travelers along the way. Let the spirit of the first Forty-Niners be our inspiration!
