We approach the prac­ tise of our chosen profession with humility, well trained by our instructors, and ready to serve mankind to the utmost of our ability. FOREWORD •*r'"V-\ As Dentists, each and every one of us, in our services to patient and community, shall strive for the highest standards for a two-fold purpose: first, that by our actions we uphold the fine tradition of our Alma Mater; and, secondly, by the same token, we aid in the advancement of the profession of Dentistry in its rightful place among the healing arts. Dedication ". Never in the history of human conflict have so many owed so much to so few . WINSTON CHURCHILL With peace a reality and plans being drawn for the construction of a better world in which people of all races, creeds, and colors may work, play, and live amicably together, it seems but fitting that we pause here to honor the men whose combined effort made this dream of ages an actuality. Each one, for his own reasons, gathered up the things in life most dear to him and cast them into the scales of the Fates. Each one, in a manner that best fitted his individual talents, took up arms against the powers of aggression. With respect to those who made the supreme sacrifice in order that we, our children, and our children's children might enjoy benefits they knew they could never live to see, there is little we. could write comparable to the marks they have made in the annals of history with their blood. We may all be proud of the fine record the Dental Profession has made for itself on the battlefields and in the camps of the past war. To all the Temple University School of Dentistry alumni who served with the Armed Services of the United States, and especially to those of them who died for profession and country, we humbly dedicate our efforts.

SANDMAN: The fact that the Senior Class, to a man, will leave Temple University Dental School with the same grand opinion of Dr. Sandman, in itself at­ tests to his ability to make lasting friendships and his interest in his students. From our first contact with "Uncle George" in our Sophomore Crown and Bridge technic classes, we were impressed. Our admiration and affection for him increased whenever we met him on the clinic floor and in the classrooms in our Junior and Senior years. Appreciation Dr. Sandman has always been ready to lend assistance to his students with their technical or clinical requirements; he has always lent a sympa­ thetic ear to their woes, he has cheerfully expended his time and his energy in their behalf. We, of the Odontolog Staff, are particularly in­ debted to Dr. Sandman for his aid in compiling this volume and his cheerful spirit when the going was rough. In dedicating this page to him, we can only echo the feeling that lies in the heart of every Temple Dental Student when we say: Sincerity, understanding, and professional in­ tegrity—these are the qualities of the man.

As the first class of this peace-time era, you who are the 1946 graduates of the Dental School are about to be presented with an op­ portunity and a responsibility. The war depleted the ranks of your pro­ fession. At the same time, it revealed the need which the nation has for your skill. Selective Service data show conclusively that millions President's of our people are not meeting minimum standards of dental health. This is a condi­ tion that must be remedied by better health Message education which you will help to supply. It also •calls for a larger number of well-trained dentists, and your availability now will be a timely response to that call. You are entering your profession at a time when its demands are heavy. The period of the war brought advances in dental methods and techniques, and since progress begets< progress, further advance may be expected at an accelerated rate. You will keep abreast of it, of course. I hope you also will contribute to it. As you take leave of us, be assured that the best wishes of the University go with you. I am confident you will fulfill with distinction the requirements of your task. President, Temple University. TO THE CLASS OF FEBRUARY 1946, For the past three years you have been living in anticipation of what you have now actually achieved, and your hopes are high for the future. You have been privileged to enter a noble profession at a time when your services will be much in demand, at a time when good service will be appreciated more than ever before.

Exercise skill and proficiency in the discharge of your duties; and so carry on your public and private affairs that your conduct will be an inspiration to others. To be sure, you are beginning your life's Dean's work under most trying conditions. Remember that those who are in practise today have endured the hardships of the past few years Message without flinching or deviating from the line of duty that circumscribes ethical behavior. A profession's advancement is in direct proportion to the effort expended by the men and women who compose it. Therefore, give whole-heartedly to your calling, Join its or­ ganizations, and be ever mindful that the heritage we now enjoy is due, largely, to the loyalty, vision, and devoted service of the educators and practitioners who have pre- ceeded us.
