RETREAT!
Ethics as applied to dental practice, dental education, education in general, and professional relations with the public will be the subject of the 12th Annual Teaching Conference for more than 150 faculty members, students, and guests of the I.U. School of Dentistry Wednesday through Friday at the Ramada Inn at Nashville.
Organized a dozen years ago by the Teaching Committee of the School of Dentistry to revitalize instruction, the retreat has become a unique tradition. "A very real benefit of the conference," Dean Ralph E. McDonald said, "is a boost in morale. Since nearly all faculty members are involved in it -- besides helping maintain a faculty which knows how to teach as well as it knows what to teach -- it also helps start the new school year with an esprit de corps, a real team approach to the dental school curriculum."
Supported by the I.U. Foundation and the School of Dentistry Alumni Association, in previous years the conference has explored such fields as objectives,
evaluation, communications, teaching methodology, humanizing teaching techniques, or assessing teacher performance. Faculty members from the School of Education at Bloomington, as well as out-of-state observer participants, have been
called on for leadership.
S eakers this ear will include . John C. Buhner, vice-chancellor and dean of
v
faculties, IUPUI, Dr. Maynard K. Hine, president, Federation Dentaire Internationale, executive associate of the I.U. Foundation, and former dean of dentistry; Dr. Leslie Parrott, president of Olivet Nazarene College, Kankakee, Ill., and Dr. James P.
Vernetti, San Antonio, Tex., president of the American College of Dentists. There also will be workshops for all registrants. Dean McDonald will be honored at the
annual Dean's Night banquet on Thursday.

Research Instrumentation Laboratory, at the Leppert and Copeland Mortuary.
Burial followed in Crown Hill Cemetery. He died August 27 in University Hospital.
Dr. Mcinnes, 57, who had been with I.U. since 1962, formerly established the laboratory for technical development at the National Institutes of Health. In the field of bio-medical engineerin£, he developed more than 1,000 items and his inventions in other fields brought the total to 1,500. He was among the first to develop the tricuspid and aortic leaflet heart valves. He developed eight types of blood pumps, nerve stimulators and close tolerance control systems for blood temperature control. He worked on development of the heart-lung
apparatus, different types of micro-manipulators and techniques for joining ultra-small parts.
He developed the first catheter for recording accurate temperature changes in cardiac patients just before open-heart surgery. He also invented the only friction-free bed exerciser for patients under catheterization treatment.
In the field of dentistry (he received a DDS degree from the Washington School of Dental Technology), he developed the first high-speed air turbine-driven dental drill, the first apparatus to measure torsion of orthodontic wire, the first device for testing fatigue of orthodontic wire. He also designed and developed tooth-brushing machines and chewing machines for dental research.
He was a member of many professional societies, several automobile clubs and he was an active participant in St. Andrews Society Scottish affairs. Reared and educated in Scotland and England, Dr. Mcinnes was much decorated in World War II, having served in the Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and Royal Australian Air Force.
