DEDICATION The Class of June. 1968. is pleased to be able to dedicate this edition of the ODONTOLOG to our Dean. Dr. Charles L. Howell Under his able leadership Temple University School of Dentistry has become the site of progressive and dynamic dental education. In the few short years since his arrival at Temple he has created a truly academic atmosphere and many of our classmates have been motivated to go on to further study. The physical changes that have taken place since our freshman year have provided tangible and ample evidence of the progress for which he has been responsible. His concept of dental education is sound and forward looking. We are certain that the changes he has brought about are merely an advance notice of future improvements. As a result, we look forward to maintaining constant contact with our School so that we may now enjoy its progress vicariously. Dr. Howell graduated from the Indiana University. School of Dentistry in 1946 and later from John Hopkins, where he received his Master’s Degree in Public Health. His contributions to the progress of the profession are many, varied, and significant. Prior to his appointment at Temple, he served as assistant dean Indiana University. Before that, he was Director of Dental Public Health and was one of the early workers with stannous fluorides as a caries preventive and conducted studies on the effective utilization of dental assistans. He is a Fellow of both the Academy of General Dentistry and the American College of Dentists. Dean Howell is married to the former Ruth Carlisle and has two children. Carney and Susan. We consider ourselves fortunate indeed to have attended Temple, and to have had the opportunity to come to know and respect the capabilities and personal warmth that this man pos sesses.
