The lJDiversitll / 9 SUCCESSFUL experiment in dental education under which more dental school A deans, teachers, and research directors have been trained than under any other comparable graduate training programs marked its twenty-fifth anniversary in October at the School of Medicine and Dentistry. Dr. George H. Whipple. now Dean Emeritus of the School, largely responsible -for founding the plan, has been called the "father of teachers" in dental education. The School's dental program is unusual in that it does not train candidates for the D.D.S. degree. Instead. it offers postgraduate training for men who already have taken their D.D.S. degrees at other institutions and who are given fellowships for research at the University of Rochester. Its emphasis is on developing dental scientists and teachers. Four of the nation's major dental schools and one in India now have deans who are graduates of the Rochester program, and three others are associate deans. Dr. Joel Wisotzky analyzing effects of Six more are directors of dental research, one is a director of medical and dental metallic solutions on caries in hamster. research, twenty-three hold full professorships, nine others are members of dental school faculties. Four former Fellows have been president of the International Asso­ ciation for Dental Research. and one is this year's president-elect. The Dental Research Fellows have come from dental schools in the United States, Norway, India, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries. Dr. Erling Johansen, a Senior Research Fellow, present chairman of the Department of Dentis­ try, comes from Norway. and received his D.M.D. degree at Tufts College in 1949. The accompanying articles by Dr. Johansen and Dr. Harold C. Hodge, Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology and one of the first Dental Research Fellows, de­ scribe the program and its philosophy.

T tistry is indeed unique. To qualify for acceptance, a candidate must already be a dentist and during the four to five years in training as a Graduate Fellow in Dental Research, he most likely never inserts a filling or extracts a tooth. He is always too busy trying to find out why the teeth decay and why most people with the years, develop gum disease. In the original plans of the School of Medicine and Dentistry, coordinate education of undergraduate dental students with med­ ical students was proposed. Since the entrance requirements were equal for medical and dental students, the dental undergraduate program failed to attract a sufficient number of applicants. After a few years of trial this plan was abandoned. In its place emerged the postgraduate dental training program with emphasis placed on independent research. In 1930, with a generous grant from the Rockefeller Foundation., the Dental Research Fellowship Pro­ gram was officially started as an experiment in dental education. In the School of Medicine and Dentistry the Dental Research Group has always been small numerically. Seldom does the num­ ber of Dental Fellows at anyone time exceed ten. Over the past twenty-five years a total of fifty-eight full time Fellows with one (Please turn to page 12)

pIe when in 1930 a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation was made to the School of Medicine and Dentistry, these principles established a unique experimental program in dental education. The guidance by these principles has continued over the years virtually unchanged. The principles may be briefly stated as follows: Education First, the emphasis was placed on broadening and deepening the biological background of graduates of conventional dental schools. Second, the educational course was directed toward an aca­ demic degree, the masters degree, or the Ph.D. degree, but not International Research Center toward the M.D. degree under any circumstances.

(Continued from page 10) or more years of tenure has taken part in the program. At pres­ ent the Dental Group has eight members. On October 7 and 8, 1955, the twenty-fifth year of the pro­ gram was celebrated at the Medical Center with a reunion of thirty-two past and present Fellows. At this milestone in our history, it seemed appropriate to review the record of the dental alumni. Many have achieved prominence as administrators, out­ standing teachers, and successful investigators, while others have put their advanced training to use in bringing better dentistry to the community. Eight former Fellows have become deans or associate deans of dental schools, one director of a dental insti­ tute, six directors of dental research, one director of medical and dental research, and twenty-three former Fellows hold full professorships. Associate or assistant professorship appointments are held by seven, and three former members are instructors. Seven are officers with the U. S. Public Health Service or the armed forces. Three alumni are research associates, and ten have taken up the practice of dentistry. Two important factors account for the success of the program. First, fellowship appointments are given to candidates of out­ standing ability and second, these appointees are placed in an atmosphere of friendly cooperation in a scientifically stimulating environment. The record of personal achievements of the dental alumni is in itself impressive. Of greater importance, however, is the fact that they brought the Rochester spirit of scientific inquiry with them to their new positions. Thus scientific knowledge and sci­ entific methods found their way to the undergraduate dental stu­ dent, improving his education and ultimately resulting in better dental service in the community and the nation. The dental alumni have also inspired many recent dental school graduates to pursue a career in dental teaching and research, and in recent years many of our candidates have been recommended by former Fellows. Over the years much valuable information regarding the teeth and their supporting structures have come from the Division of Dental Research. Work by Dental Fellows has contributed fun­ damental knowledge in many fields on the physical and chemical properties of the teeth and the saliva, the cause of dental decay and periodontal disease, the effectiveness of fluorine in caries prevention, and the usefulness of hamsters in dental research­ to mention a few. As an indication of the scientific productivity of the Dental Group, a total of 261 publications has appeared from its members. Dental Fellows-past and present-have pub­ lished 1,140 scientific papers, books, and monographs. The University of Rochester Dental Research Fellowship Pro­ gram has greatly accelerated the transition of dental art into dental science.

After a while, varying from a few weeks to several months, the Dental Fellow finds himself reading about one topic with growing en­ thusiasm; presently he is so driven by the force of an idea that he must take his hypothesis into the laboratory. Then follow con'­ ferences with the head of the Dental Group and with the pro­ fessor of the department in which the proposed research lies. If acceptable to all, the Dental Fellow becomes a member of the pre-clinical department, is given laboratory space and a desk and welcomed into the academic fold. He takes the medical school course in that department and usually thereafter assists in teach­ ing. He attends seminars and all functions as a full-fledged mem­ ber of the department. His research studies develop out of his own interests. The tolerance of department chairmen is a major contribution to the program. The Dental Fellow works on topics that often are not of the first interest to any of the senior men of the department yet he is given the freedom and the oppor­ tunity to pursue his interests. When he has obtained data, it is his responsibility to tabulate it, analyze it, criticize it, describe it and present it for publication in a scientific journal or as a thesis if he is registered for an advanced degree. He learns to stand on his own feet scientifically. He has the experience and the know­ how to become a center of productive research in the dental school faculty where he later finds his teaching post. Dental Group activities in the meantime are not forgotten. There is a weekly dental seminar in which the Dental Fellows from the various pre-clinical departments gather together, pre­ sent topics of mutual interest and discuss conflicting ideas. Each spring the Dental Fellows attend the annual meeting of the International Association for Dental Research held in vari­ ous cities to present the results of their own research before the leading dental investigators of the country.

As a state and nationaL spokesman for higher education, President de Kiewiet was asked to give one of the keynote addresses before the American Council on Education at its Washington conference dealing with the theme of how best to prepare for the increasing flow of students that may double college enrollments by 1970. His talk won wide notice as a wise and penetrating analysis of basic aspects of the program. The REVIEW here presents a condensation of his address. Higher Education's

22 / The Graduate as the author of this book, has done an admirable piece of work. Victor Herbert (1859-1924) enjoyed a life that might well be called fabulous. This Irish-born, German-educated Amer­ con musician (for such he was!) had un­ bounded energy and enthusiasm. When we hear such perennial favorites as "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life" or selections from "Babes in Toyland," few of us stop to consider that the composition of more than forty operettas was only one facet of Herbert's varied career. In the days when American music was beginning to develop into the vital art it is today, he was an outstanding concert cellist, band­ leader, symphony orchestra conductor, composer of serious instrumental music as well as operettas and grand operas, and champion of the rights of the Amer­ ican musician. When the question of musical copyright was being discussed in Washington, Herbert agitated for the Dr. Cyril J. Staud Dr. Edward N.

The Graduate /23 Alexander's Record Impressiue Lou Alexander, Director of Inter-Collegiate Athletics, is ob­ serving his twenty-fifth anniversary season as coach of Roch­ ester's Varsity basketball team, which this season will play sixteen games. Since he took over as Rochester coach in 1931, Alexander's teams have won 232 games, while losing only 121. In 1941-42 the Yellowjackets team was the only undefeated college team in the nation, with Yale, Princeton and Michigan State among its victims. Alexander rates the 1939-40 outfit as his best team; it won twelve games and lost four, defeating among others, Ivy League champion Dartmouth, and Michigan. Last season the Varsity won ten and lost five games. Over the years, it has been Coach Alexander's policy to sched­ ule a few game with "big league" opponents and the rest with teams in Rochester's small college class. Big names have been missing from the Varsity's schedule in recent years, but the coach believes it's likely they will be back in a season or two. This season's surprising team came back after losing its opener to Utica College 62-60 to win all of the next five games before the mid-year exam hiatus, defeating Brooklyn Poly 79-53 (photo at right), St. Lawrence 77-57, Alfred 78-61, and two close squeaks on the road against Union, 65-62, and Rensse­ laer Poly 49-48. Ten games remain on the schedule, ending with Bucknell on March 3 at the Palestra.
