, Department of Periodontia
Henry M. S .J.Jenson~ Assistant Professor of Periodontia
Dr. Henry M. Swenson
In this era of prevention of disease, it is natural that periodontia should receive more emphasis in general practice than it ever has before. Dentists have found that many cases that formerly were con- sidered hopeless can be treated satisfact- orily. In keeping with this d~mand by the dentists and the public, the Perio- dontia Department of Indiana University School of Dentistry has been reorganized.
The students are first introduced to periodontia in the oral hygiene ~our e in the second semester of the sophomore year. In the course they are instructed in the proper care of the mouth, including the various tooth brush techniques. An 800 foot movie is hown to illustrate the use of all the prophylactic instruments issued. Before they are permitted to work on clinical patients, students are required to complete a prophylaxis on a fellow student. This enables the instruc- tor to give more instruction to the stu- dent concerning chair position, the u e 4
of various instruments, etc. without en- dangering student-patient relationships.
In the junio~ year, the students re- ceive lectures on all conditions related to the field of periodontia. They are in- structed . in the various treatments for these conditions and the results they can expect. The students are taught a prac- tical procedure for occlusal equilibration and are given an outline summarizing this technique which is applied in their clini- cal practice. In the clinic the student first does an uncomplicated prophylaxis and gradually works into the more diffi- cult cases. We emphasize to the operator in these more difficult cases the import- ance of completing a section of the mouth at each appointment rather than trying to cover all four quadrants haphazardly.
Since the Periodontia Department is now open on a full- time basis and no longer a special assignment clinic, the student is able to complete treatment on his patients. When a series of visits is completed, the patient is placed on recall and the original student is expected to follow the case until the end of his senior year. During the period between recall appointments, the patient continues with proper home care as instructed by the student. On the follow-up examination, several months later the operator can see whether the results of his work were suc- cessful.
~ome cases are unusual and may re- qmr: more t~an the routine curretage.
Vanous techniques for occlusal equilibra- tion and gingivectomy are demonstrated to the students. They are permitted to do gingivectomies and occlusal equilibra- tion when they have demonstrated their ability in those procedures. To supple- ment the clinical instruction in the surgical technique, members of the Periodontia
(continued on next page)
Department cooperated in preparing a 1600 foot motion picture showing the method to be used. It is the philosophy of the department that gingivectomy is not necessary in a large percentage of pa- tients but that there is the occasional case where it is indicated.
The teaching schedule has been -ar- ranged to keep abreast of the accepted developments in the field of periodontia and to broaden the students clinical ex- perience. By teaching the students the basic fundamentals and then insisting they receive sufficient clinical experience, we believe they will be able .to master the periodontal problems arising in the general practice of dentistry.

IUSD Alumni Association 1949 Annual Meeting
The 1949 annual meeting of the Indi- ana University School of Dentistry Alumni Association was held on October 7 and 8 on the University campus. As a result of splendid cooperation from Mr. Claude Rich, University Alumni Secretary, and his staff, the Program Committee was able to present a program of universal interest to the dental alumni, their wives, assistants, and gue ts who were in attend- ance.
The annual association banquet was held on Friday night, October 7, with the members of the freshman and senior cla es of the dental school as honored gue ts. The speaker at the banquet, Dr.
Bruce E. Forsyth, Assistant Surgeon Gen- eral, Director of the Dental Division of the U.S. Public Health Service, presented the audience with valuable current infor- mation in his talk, Denitstry's Role in Pub- lic Health. Entertainment was provided (continued on page 21)
Remodeling of Dental Building Almost Con1pleted
The first major remodeling program for the Indiana University Dental School building is now almost completed. While the building which was constructed in 1933-1934 has been adequate, this exten- sive remodeling program has made pos- sible a redistribution of floor space which results in a more efficient and up-to:date building.
The most important changes were made possible by the excavation of a basement to allow moving the locker rooms and library stack room from the upper floors.
Placing the library on the first floor with a "stack room" just below it in the newly excavated basement locates the library in larger and more convenient quarters.
Moving the library also made possible the enlargement of the Radiographic De- partment, Oral Diagnosis Clinic, and Oral Surgery, Pedodontia and Orthodontia De- partments. The shift also resulted in a
I
closer coordination of the various depart- ments and made it easier to assign and route patients from department to de- partment.
Moving junior locker rooms to the base- ment also made possible the construction of a postgraduate clinic on the third floor. This special clinic is equipped with nine new green units, chairs and laboratory facilities and is a most attrac- tive room. It will be used as an "over- flow" clinic for undergraduate students and for special courses for graduate den- tist . ·
The installation of forty-five new units and chairs in the third floor clinic ha increased its capacity and efficiency.
Another valuable addition to the dental building has been the installation of an elevator. In the past, many of our pa- tients have been unable to climb the
tairs and many others should not have
6
been allowed to do so. This ·elevator also facilitates transportation of heavy equipment.
The building has been thoroughly re- painted, also, using conservative tones of green, peach, camellia, coral, and gray.
The result is a fresh appearing, attractive building which should be conducive to better teaching.
The parking lot at the rear of the dental school has recently been resurfaced and greatly expanded in order to provide ample space for faculty, students, and pa- tients.
Everyone is invited to vlSlt the dental school soon to see the new facilities.

Alumni Notes
The remodeling program is fast ap- proaching the finish line-our off ices have a new coat of paint (each off ice a dif - ferent color) and the halls are being painted a light grey. We are very happy about it and hope that one and all of you can plan to come very soon and see us before the "smog" begins to leave its mark.
By the time this Bulletin reaches you we trust you are all settled back in the routine of work after vacations in Cali- fornia attending the ADA meeting, hunt- ing trips in the frosty North, and spending Christmas in Florida with Dr. Hill (at least I know he is expecting you). Only those of us who remain at home can real- ize the added burden on Uncle Sam's mes- sengers as we say one to the other, "Doc- tor is attending the meeting of the ADA in California or hunting or; your inquiry will be called to his immediate attention upon his return". So with all these ac- tivities many of you have had a chance to check up on classmates and the school.
Just in case you didn't get all the news we shall endeavor to bring you up to date.
Cupid has been getting in his darts, the
"stork" has been busy, doctors have been moving their offices, and we have had visitors and letters from here and there.
First shall we check up on Cupid: Dr.
Samuel M. Standish, '45, and Gertrude Elizabeth Eberle were married August 6 and are now at home in Muncie, where Dr. Standish is practicing; Dr. Thomas H. Beavers, April, '44, and Helen Marie .Schultz were married October 29, and are now at home in Indianapolis, where Dr. Beaver is in practice as well as giv- ing the Dental School some of hi time;
Dr. Charles W. Gish, '49, and Treva Metsger were married June 23- they too

One section of the parking lot has been reserved for the faculty . . . At the annual meeting of the A. D. A. in San Francisco Dean Hine and Dr. Frank C. Hughes presented papers, and Mr.
Ralph Phillips had a paper read. Also, Dr. Ralph McDonald and Mr. Phillips had exhibits . . . Several of last year's graduating class have returned for a visit.
Jerry Henderson and Lehman Adams, both in the army, dropped in for a few minutes, as well as Don Biggs, now in Evansville, and Leo Paskash, who has opened an office in Gary. And speaking of last year's graduating class, here's the little I know of their whereabouts. John Bach is practicing in Lebanon, Tom Boardman is in the navy, as is Darwin Reed and Bill Turnley. Ed Bosh has announced the opening of his new office in the Bankers' Trust Building here in In- dianapolis, and Walter Dean is in the Hume Mansur Building. Charles Gish is connected with the Board of Health, and Ernst Rosenthal has an office on Oliver Avenue. Joe Lush is interning at Long Hospital, Hayward Flickner is prac- ticing in Evansville, Wigand Kenter in Bloomington, Wendell Lee in Warsaw, and Dan Strapon in Monon. The other boys I have not heard from . . . Other visitors around the school have been Rich- ard Michener, '42, Kokomo; Ed Downey, 12

A letter from Harold Matlack, '46, says that since resigning his teaching position with the University of Pennsylvania Dental School he is devoting full time to private practice. He also says, "I am a member of Southern New Jersey Dental Society and was just recently elected to the Board of Trustees. I would also like to report that another prospective hygienist was born to our family last April 22, named Martha Karen ... Congratulations to the newly-weds, Tom Beavers '44, Jack Gal- land, '45, and Jerry Henderson, '49 . . . The painting project has almost been completed, only the halls and stairways re- maining to be painted . . . Received a letter from Vernon Crosswhite, '47. He writes that he is taking a postgraduate course in surgery and practicing the rest of the time ... Dr. Ert Rogers, oral diag- nosis, recently appeared on the program of the Ben Hur Society at Greencastle ... A new building is going up in the block west of the dental school property, and will provide us with a drug store and a florist . . . The junior and sophomore class double quartet furnished Christmas carols before we all left for vacation, broadcasting over the p.a. system ... And that's all for this time.
Dean Hine Honored
Dr. Maynard K. Hine was recently honored at the annual meeting of the American Dental Association in San Francisco by being elected President of the American Association of Dental Edi- tors. The faculty and alumni wi h to .congratulate him upon this distinct honor both to him personally and to Indiana University School of Dentistry.
Library
The Library ha a growing collection of rare books to which we are adding each year as titles become available from dealers, libraries, and collectors.
The oldest book which the Library own is A Treatise on the Teeth) 2nd ed., by A. Tolver, published in London in 1752. Tolver mentioned only wax as a filling material and advanced the theory that the loss of teeth with aging is ad- vantageous since it limits the kind of food which can be eaten.
Our next oldest book is John Hunter' famous Practical Treatise on the Diseases of the Teeth) published in London in 1778.
Included as part of this volume i hi Navural History of the Human Teeth) first published in 1 771. According to Guerini these titles "initiated in England a new epoch for the dental art, which abandoning its blind empiricism, began to take its tand on the basis of rigorou scientific observation."1
In 1803 Joseph Fox publi hed hi Natural History of the Human Teeth.
This was the "fir t work in the English language written by a dentist who was also a teacher of dentistry, especially to serve as a text book for dental student ."2 In 1806 it wa supplemented by hi Diseases of the Human Teeth. We have the third edition of these work published together in 1833.
Many of the early American dental book are in our collection. Among the mo t important of the e are:
Fitch, S.S. A System of Dental Surgery.
2nd ed. Phila., 1835.
"To this author we are indebted for the fir t ystematic treatise publi hed in America, intended as a guide for
by Rita Lee Downing those adopting denti try a a pro- fession."3
Brown, Solyman. Dentalogia. New York, 1840.
"A didactic poem on the diseases of the teeth and their treatment. . . It was written as a testimonial of the sincerity with which the author reciprocated the entiment and friend hips of his di tingui hed con- temporary, Eleazar Parmly."4 Harris, Chapin A. The Dental Art) a
Practical Treatise on Dental Surgery.
Baltimore, 1839.
The first edition of the fir t contri- bution of a man who came to be regarded as the founder of dental literature in America.5
Among our journals, probably the mo t valuable file i the first ten volumes of the American Journal of Dental Science) 1839-1854. Thi was the fir t dental journal.
Finally, the Indiana State Dental Asso- ciation wa one of the earliest tate o- cietie , and we are proud of our almo t complete file of it Transactions dating from 1858. The e Tran action will be- come increasingly valuable as ource ma- terial on the history of denti try in Indi- ana.
All rare book are available to the alumni for use in the library.

Ulass and Fraternity Notes
FRESHMAN CLASS
Fall has arrived on the Indiana University campus at Bloomington along with a freshman dental class of sixty-four men.
The sixty-four students, the maximum num- ber which can be accommodated with present facilities, are now hard at work with their studies. All the cadavers have been given a
ni~k-name and the carving of teeth has been started.
Sixty-one members of the class are Hoosiers coming from thirty-six Indiana cities and towns. We have one student each from Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Florida, where dental education facilities do not exist. The following class officers were elected at an organizational meeting on October 4, 1949:
President, James L. Holder of Elberfeld; Vice- President, Elba E. Cole of Indianapolis; Treas- urer, Robert M. Stetzel of Fort Wayne; Secre- tary, James L. Kirwin of Fort Wayne; Chair- man of Social Committee, Thomas P. Tanner of South Bend; Student Representatives, John K. Clark of Avilla and Charles J. Sabel of Evansville.
The class was very pleased to receive an invitation to attend the banquet of the Dental Alumni Association of Indiana University held on the Bloomington campus October 7th and 8th. We were privileged to hear an address by Dr. Bruce E. Forsyth, Assistant Surgeon General. We wish to thank the Dental Alumni Association of Indiana University for their invitation and sincerely hope that when they hold their fall meeting m 1953 we may all be present as members.
James L. Kirwin
SOPHOMORE CLASS
The freshman dental class of 1948 has now become the freshman sophomore class of '49.
Many felt as lucky as the Irish in being able to make the 13 7 curves between Bloomington and Indianapolis.
For several members of this class, school was not over in June, but rather it continued until mid-August. (This extra brain stir was both voluntary and involuntary in nature.) Summer school was not the only outl t for expendable energy. There was a construction gang here in the Capitol City composed of dental dillies and elsewhere, painters, farmers,
office help, drug clerks, and housekeepers were some of the jobs held down by the versitle members. Supposedly, travel broadens one; this being the case, it appears that several members of the class traveled quite a bit-.
Not to be forgotten are the new dental as- sistants which many obtained in the form of wives, namely-Baldridge, Brubaker, Cox, Hicks, Glassely, Lindley, Minear, and Roth- haar. It seems that several others are con- sidering taking the step.
N orb and Mary Lee Bueckler were blessed with 10 pounds of boy, and to keep the ratio right, Frank Turber· is now the proud father of a 6 pounds 3 oz. girl. Duncan is also listed on the stork market reports.
As the plaster and pathogenic substances of the sophomore year began bubbling there was a meeting for the purpose of electing officers.
Wib Morton was elected president; Bill Lind- ley, vice-president; Ray Rothhaar, secretary, and Richard Reynolds, treasurer. L. G. Lawton and John Ehret were elected student counsel representatives.
The sophomore class has eighty-five mem- bers, and is one of the largest in the history of the school. As yet, plans for the future have not been formulatd; however, when the confusion encountered upon starting a new academic year has cleared away the plans for the year will be formulated.

JUNIOR CLASS
September the nineteenth found the sev- enty-six members of the Junior Class returning to school to actually start their practice of dentistry. Nearly all the technic courses have been completed and now the work in the clinics is under way. You grads can well remember the first cavity preparation you attempted to make or the first injection you made, so you can well appreciate what we are going through now.
As we entered the building this fall, there was no doubt that some painting was in progress. The aroma was very noticeable but after seeing the various rooms and clinics we are all willing to forget the smell and have the appearance of the building improved so
(continued on next page)
much. I'd like to suggest noticing the color of the lecture room on the first floor. "Ca- mellia" is the shade, designed to prevent snoozing during lectures.
The first few days of school found everyone telling of experiences they enjoyed during the summer months. About twenty-five stu- dents worked in the clinic, others worked at various jobs and some of the more fortunate individuals spent their vacation swimming, travelling and just loafing. One very ambitious junior engaged himself in selling hotdogs at the State Fair. During the four days he attempted to sell hotdogs he netted himself a total of eight dollars.
Four junior students made the well known trek up the "Middle Ai.sle" this summer so they are now going through college by the
"Sweat of their Frau". The number of married students in the Junior Class is now fifty-three. The dads in our class boast a total of twenty-three children with this num- ber expected to increase a few more times be- fore spring.
The election of class officers was held the second week of school with the following results:
President, Alden B. Thompson; Vice Presi- dent, John Risch; Sec.-Treas., Betty ·J. Koss;
Student Council, George A. Welch and Howard Metcalfe
The ROTC unit is in full swing now with thirteen members of our class attending the six weeks camp held in San Antonio, Texas, last summer. The reports they brought back were so favorable that twenty-nine additional men have signed up this year. The Junior Class can be called anything but unpatriotic.
The Junior Laboratory is really a hub of activity with everyone trying to build up his point total. Conditions are a little crowded but no one has time to think about such a minor item. Most important are those "Enam- el rods, however the rubber dam must not be overlooked." A word of caution to you Grads. If you are in the building when the Juniors are dismissed from a lecture, stay clear of the west stairway because I'm afraid little attention would be paid to you as the class ascends to the clinic.
Be sure and read the next Bulletin for future goings-on of the Class of '51.

SENIOR CLASS
The senior class officially bC:lgan its last year of classes and clinics on September 19.
That was the formal opening of school al-
16
though the majority of the class never quit working after the end of the junior year and continued to work in the clinic during the summer so that a full head of steam could be gathered for the senior term. A lot of valuable experience was gained by those who stayed and nobody was sorry that he stuck around this hot town for the summer months.
The first part of August saw the Army R. 0. T. C. boys depart for Texas for a six weeks course in how the Army does dentistry.
From all reports that the boys brought back, the Army knows a little bit about dentistry and laboratory techniques. In fact a few of the boys were so impressed that they joined the Army for a two year enlistment on the com- pletion of their last year of school. The rumor around the locker room, however, is that they did not join for the above reason but for the renumeration that goes with the whole deal.
The three hearty s·ouls who forsake their civilian status for the Army routine again were Robert Youmans, C. James Roll, and Robert Daily. The other boys decided to work for their money in the civilian world.
All the boys who were down at camp enjoyed themselves very much and learned a few help- ful hints that they can put into practice when they graduate if not sooner.
' The senior class had their annual election of officers recently and elected H. T. Riseley as president. Howard Stein was elected vice- president, James Simmonds was elected treas- urer and Ken Smith was elected secretary.
The' two council-men are Jack Light and Charles Finkbiner.
The talk among seniors now is how many foils have you got, how many are you going to get and where are you going to get them.
A little later the talk will shift to where are you going after you get out. Every senior class goes through the same routine so every graduate knows the topics of conversations that occur among the class.
This will just about wind up the news of the senior class as of this moment. Until a later date, the class wishes everyone good luck and success.

Our a~nual Senior Farewell Dinner Dance, held last May, served as the finale to another successful year at I.U. Dean Hine was our guest of honor for the evening. Alumni fraters Drs. Leon Berger, Phillip Fogle, and Samuel Patterson were among those present who helped honor our graduates, Drs. Henry Feff, Frank Mandel, Ernst Rosenthal, and Manuel Sposeep.
Speaking of our neophyte dental surgeons, we hear that Hank Leff is applying Black's principles in private practice in Portland, Indiana, as are Manny Sposeep in Wabash, and Ernst Rosenthal in Indianapolis. Frank Mandel, seeking sunshine, joined the Florida State Board of Health.
Danny Laskin, '47, was down for the State Dental Convention last May. At present he is serving a residency in Oral Surgery at the U.
of Illinois. Classmate Irwin Burack, '47, was recently relieved of active duty with the Dental Corps and has entered private practice in Newark, New Jersey. Again in the class of '47, Murray Shuser is due for release from the Dental Corps in October and will enter private practice in Northern New Jersey. Sam- uel Patterson, '40, has recently become a mem- ber of the Operative Department.
Plans for the new year include several informal dances, dinner meetings, to which guest speakers both in and out of the field of dentistry will be invited, several clinics, and our annual "Senior Farewell."
Lacking in neither enthusiasm nor ability, we once again look forward to an informative, entertaining, and successful year in '49-'50, our 22nd year at I.U.

DELTA SIGMA DELTA
September the 19th saw Xi chapter of Delta Sigma Delta welcoming its 26 new pledges to the Indianapolis campus. The chapter is of record size this year, there being 82 mem- bers, 30 of which are living in the house. The following officers were elected last spring and are now learning the ways and means of run- ning the fraternity:
Grand Master ... ]. Watt Shroyer Worthy Master ··-·--···--Harold Dick Scribe ·---···-·---·---·----·--·-Rob rt O'Neal Treasurer ·---··--···-··-·--···-Marvin Baxla Senior Page ·--··-·-··--···-·--·-·Rex Hodges Junior Page ··-·-·--·---···-Ralph Laybold Tyler ·--·--······-·-·--·--·James McClure Historian ··--···-·-···--·--·Harry Johnson
Several new improvements were made at the house this summer. New sinks were installed in the kitchen, several rooms have been redec- orated, and at the present time the lab in the basement is being doubled in size and several new benches added. The entire second and third floors and the living room have had new coats of paint in the past year. Most of this work was accomplished by the chapter members in their more artistic moments, with the assistance of Dr. LaRue, of course. We have also purchased a new bus to replace the old "Red Death", which broke down in 16th Street traffic last spring.
Several of our junior and senior members spent the summer in the Army R.O.T.C. at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and _they all re- ported that they learned a lot of dentistry in addition to having a wonderful time.
Two formal dances are planned this year- one just before Christmas and the other in May. Of course, the usual number of parties will be held in between. All in all, the mem- bers of XI chapter are high in anticipation of the events the coming school year may bring.

PSI OMEGA
The active chapter has started off what ap- pears to be a very successful year in the house at 1325 West Michigan Street. Kenneth Smith, '50, is very busy as the new house manager principally because of the house being filled with actives and pledges.
The boys are thoroughly enjoying the new television set and it is particularly popular on the nights when the best programs are on.
The last word from our recent graduates shows that Daniel Strapon is located in Monon, Indiana; Wendell Lee is established in general practice in Warsaw, Indiana; and Edward Bosh is setting up an office in Bankers Trust Building in Indianapolis.
Everyone returning to school this fall was conscious of the changes made in the college during the summer' and expect to get continued stimulation from the excellent physical plant facilities. The busy year includes formal initi- ation during the month of November.
Another item of interest is a new building housing a drug store and restaurant soon to be erected in the vicinity of the fraternity house.
