The objective of the course in Periodontic are to give adequate training for meeting the problems in Periodontic presented in the general practice of Dentistry; to correlate the science of Periodontic with other branches of Dentistry; to encourage an interest in research or further study; and to create an understanding of the science so that a better evaluation of new technics may be made. The course is taught by means of illustrated lectures, demonstrations, laboratory exercises with manikins, seminars, and clinical experiences. Lectures are given in the second semester of the sophomore year and are continued throughout the junior year. Laboratory exercises are arranged to prepare for clinical experiences. Demonstrations are given in the clinic. The actual clinical treatments arc practiced by both junior and senior students in fulfillment of requirements for graduation. Jacoby T.

We were greeted on September Q iou • L ... tors. They orientate ,.c , u ,n ,he auditorium by our clinical instruc- an easy enough start with 1 C Ini® and l0,d us what was expected. It seemed like clinics hut tu . . preparing our clinic cases and attending orientation tyc , . . Car P 0Srcssed, 1959 seemed almost farther away than the moon! tu | lf ° a ®onc 1 lru tw° years of school thus far, but had we really reached the half-way mark? 1 hings learned previously had to be relearned and revised, for at last, we had patients to operate on, not manikins. Who can forget his first patient, or who was more nervous, the patient or you? And for the first time you were called Doctor !! W ith determination to fulfill this title your patients had conferred upon you. you immersed yourselves completely in dentistry. Operative Dentistry and Prosthetics were continued by Dr. Weil, and Drs. Mo Murray and Lantz. Our knowledge of Periodontia. Crown Bridge, and Orthodontia was increased with the help of Dr. Rothner. Dr. Ewing, and Drs. Hedges, Coben and I.ande. New courses to us were Oral Surgery. Radiodontia, Oncology, Anesthesia, Exo-dontia, and Pedodontia which were handled deftly by Drs. Cameron. Updegrave, Castigliano, Casalia. Hamilton, and Ritsert. The dramatic lectures of Dr. J. A. Kol-mer imbued within us the knowledge that dentistry and medicine must be integrated in treating our patients. , . . . , ....

And then there was one!! 30
