ROBERT LIVINGSTON JOHNSON A.B., LL.D. President of the University President You who ore being graduated are about to enter a profession that is one of the oldest yet in a sense one of the youngest of the healing arts. Writing in the fifth century B.C., Herodotus told of practitioners among the Egyptians who devoted themselves solely to care of the teeth. They were apparently specialists equipped with learning and skill. But somehow their knowledge was lost to the world. It still lies buried under centuries of time. Only in a relatively modern day has dentistry forged again into the forefront of professional ranks—this time with its own specialties, each supported by a body of research and a rapidly expanding technology. You are therefore the possessors both of an ancient heritage and of a vigorous outlook that belongs to youth. Your profession is moving ahead with long strides. My final word of counsel to you is: Keep up with it. The Egyptians sank into oblivion when they ceased to go forward. Men who do not move ahead become mired in their own tracks. The Temple University Dental School is on institution that has gone ahead whatever the obstacle. Professionally, it will continue to do so. I hope you. her graduates, have been infected with the same spirit. Robert Livingston Johnson President 10
