Excerpt from The Mirror, 1960: Published by the One Hundred and Twenty-First Student Body of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, Dental School, University of MarylandDuring the decade in which he headed the Department of Physiology, there have not been any failures on the National Boards in his discipline, a cogent factor in the student re gard. His was a philosophy that always allowed time for a student to freely discuss personal problems, or for an extensive elaboration on an abstruse point in physiology. He tried most earnestly to maintain a high level of academic excellence in not only his own teaching, but also that of his assisting staff. He recognized the lack of practical application in physiology when taught from the basic science perspective, and attempted to remedy this by keeping on the teaching staff at all times clinical men, both an M.D. And a to provide the applied physiology instruction.The students take this opportunity to pay tribute to Professor Robert H. Oster in due cognizance of his life-time dedication to professional school teaching, and his many years of invaluable service, both personal and professional, to dental students.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
