 In Memoriam Louis Hcnnan, D.D.S., F.A.C.D. July II. 1895 August 30. 1965 The passing of Dr. Louis Herman only one month after his retirement in June of this year brought to an untimely close a career that spanned over forty-nve years, successfully and faithfully dedicated to the profession that had its praises by him almost every day of those many yean with a flash of nis characteristic ear to ear grin. Dr. Herman received his D.D.S. from Temple University School of Dentistry in 1919. He then started his long, professional association with Temple that saw him serve as instructor. Associate Professor of Oral Anatomy. Professor of Oral Anatomy. Chairman of the Admissions Committee, and Director of Graduate Studies. He administered to the heavy burden of these last two positions concurrently. and still had enough time left over to erect both students and faculty alike with that familiar, laughing gnn. The awards and honors he received, the degrees and responsibilities he held arc numerous, too numerous to mention. They arc the things that neither should be nor will be remembered when people fondly recall him. They are not important ' Of more significance is the living legend that Dr. Herman created through his own efforts, with no thoughts to honors or positions. He became an “institution within an institution, and this alone will remuin m the minds and hearts of friends, relatives, faculty, and the many, many more graduating classes to come 17
