These deserve our attention and consideration if we are to make a logical contribution to the improvement of the health of our nation. One of the biggest problems in health service is the lack of adequate personnel to perform or render the services needed. The examples of the Salk vaccine and tranquilizing drugs are ex- amples of such measures.
On the lighter side of the program, but none the less enjoyable, will be a presentation by Mr. The Sing- ing Hoosiers are a well known male chorus, one of the outstanding ones in the country.

Alumni Notes
House, of 1601 Scenic Drive, La Jolla, California, visited the school in May and attended the meeting of the Indiana State Dental Association. It may surprise members of the class to know that Harding, Carl Will, and Y apel located in Seattle. Since 195 7 marks the 50th anniversary of the Class of 1907, we decided to give you some special information about that class.
Of the twenty-four members of the class whose addresses we had, we have heard from sixteen. I am a life member of the Ameri- can Dental Association, Indiana State Dental Association and West Central.). In the January 1957, i sue of the Illinois Dental Journal, the column on Eastern Illinois n w was dedicated to Dr.
Dave has s.erved as president of the Mattoon Dental Club and Eastern Illinois Dental Society. We are glad classes have reunions and that some of the members come in to see us. This year marked the 10th anniversary of the 194 7 Class and we were so happy to see: Dr.
During my stay I met and later married the secretary of the clinic, an English girl. Bresick is out of the Service and back with us to continue his Residency in Oral Surgery at the Medical Center. He expected to be out of the Service soon and I hope to have his new address by the time the January, 1958, Bulletin goes to press.
Meyer is out of the Service and began his internship in Pedodontia with us in July. I hear once in a while from some of the classmates, but can't keep up with the majority. Kilty of 1632 North Jefferson, Hunt- ington, Indiana, assigned to the Fort Dix Dental Service, one of the largest in the U.S.
Kilty of the Huntington address, the captain and his wife, Marilane, are currently liv- ing at the post at Fort Dix.". As usual we sent out ques- tionnaires to the members of the class and these data are the result of their answers.
Ulass and Fraternity Notes
They divided us into small groups, and a guide took us on a tour of the plant. For the rest of the dwindling school year, the sophomores, juniors and even some of the seniors will be working furiously, trying to finish those innumerable requirements. Why is it they seemed so few at the first of the semester when we had time to burn.
Frederick Hohlt of the Operative Department for his long and meritorious service as our Deputy Councilor. New officers elected at the last session of the Indiana State Dental Association Convention are Dr. Another significant change is noted in the income of the dental specialists (and this is no doubt the same in medicine) when compared with that of the general practit10ner.
The statistics show that in 1937 only 3.1 per cent of the dental profession were specialists and by 1948 5.6 per cent were specializing. Likewise, this new segment of the population has produced a particular impact upon the elementary and secondary educational facilities of the nation. Administrations in higher education are also concerned with the effect of the in- creas d demand for higher educational opportunities will have on the facilities of our colleges and universities in the years ahead.
The formation of the Council for Financial Aid to Education by leading industrialists demonstrates the interest large corpora- tions are developing in the function and services of higher education. Norvelle's department has prepared a special program for this annual conference, and this part of the program has become a varied tradition. On Saturday morning a conducted bus tour of the university campus has been scheduled for the ladies.
This was one of the features of the Eighth Annual Berkshire Conferences on Periodontology and Oral Path- ology. This award was presented on April 17, 1957, at the annual dinner of the Student Union Board. We hope that all alumni will find it possible to visit the dental school and one of the many postgraduate symposia and special courses planned for this year.
