We Dedicate Gerald D. Timmons, Ph.G., D.D.S., D.S«., F.A.C.O. Gerald D. Timmons, Ph.G., D.D.S., D.Sc., F.A.C.D. As Gerald D. Timmons finishes his fifteenth year as Dean of our School of Dentistry, we, the Class of 1957, join with those who pay tribute to this dynamic force in Dentistry and Dental education. Born in Valparaiso, Indiana, on August 9, 1897, Dr. Timmons attended Valparaiso High School, and in 1917 received his Ph.G. degree from Valparaiso University. In 1925 he received his D.D.S. degree from Indiana University. Upon graduation Dr. Timmons was appointed to the faculty of Indiana University, serving as Acting Dean before he left in 1940. In 1942, he became dean of the School of Dentistry at Temple University. Dr. Timmons held many high offices in Dental circles. From 1949 to 1950 he served os President of the American Association of Dental Schools. Presently Dr. Timmons is Speaker of the House of Delegates of the American Dental Association and he has recently been elected President of the American College of Dentists. In dedicating this book to Dr. Timmons, each one of us takes the opportunity to express, through it, his admiration and gratitude to the man under whom we have lived and worked for the past four years. We are all, in his own words, his boys, and all of us know that he is our friend. 7
