All rights reserved. Library of Congress Catalog Number: 59-15598 Printed in the United States of America FOREWORD The most conscientious historian must deal with legends, and legends grow rapidly. Even the passage of a day begins to turn facts into fanciful and entertaining stories. Interestingly told, these tales combine truth and ridiculousness in such delightful and charming proportions that they are bound to last for a long time. The story of the American College of Surgeons is that of the development and progress of surgery in America. No other medical organization, voluntarily entered into by its Fellows, has exerted such a profound influence upon the discipline and art of surgery in the United States. This book is concerned with the many men, each with his in- cisive personality, who were dedicated to the purpose of ele- vating the level of the surgical treatment of patients by raising the standards of hospital facilities and continuing the education of the surgeon.

  • Innovation and Education
    DENTISTRY Innovation and education Henry Forman Atkinson Dental Museum, University of Melbourne Dentistry: Innovation and education celebrates the 135th anniversary of the establishment of the Odontological Society of Victoria in 1884, which brought about the development of the first dental school in the colony. The organisation consisted of a group of trained dentists and was modelled on the Odontological Society of Great Britain, established in 1856. The Australian College of Dentistry was established in 1897, and affiliated with the University of Melbourne in a process that formalised dental education and further legitimised dental practice and research. This exhibition showcases the development of dental practice, education and public health, particularly in Victoria.

INTRODUCTION The world economy is experiencing a technological revolution, fu- eled by rapid advances in microelectronics, optics, and computer science, that in the 1990s and beyond will dramatically change the way people everywhere communicate, learn, and access information and en- tertainment. This technological revolution has been underway for about a decade. The emergence of a fully-interactive communications net- work, sometimes referred to as the "Information Superhighway," is now upon us. This highway, made possible by fiber optics and the conver- gence of several different technologies, is capable of delivering a plethora of new interactive entertainment, informational, and instruc- tional services that are powerful and user-friendly.
