He summarizes the early history of the school and the state of dental education in the 1950s. He details the collaborative efforts of the school with the School of Medicine and the Crippled Children's Division in research, establishing clinics, and training residents.

In closing he muses on the future of pedodontics [pediatric dentistry].
