After graduating from Baltimore City College, he attended Johns Hopkins University where he received his predental training. He entered the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery several years after graduating from Johns Hopkins in 1932 with an A. B. degree. Dr. Dabrowski was an active member of Psi Omega Dental Fraternity, being its treasurer during his senior year. During that same year, his classmates elected him Class President. Upon graduation from the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery in 1940, he was awarded the Gold Medal for Scholarship, selected for Omicron Kappa Upsilon, given an honor certificate (Magna Cum Latule), and presented with the Alexander H.
