effort. That is to say, we must measure it not by what would be easy
and convenient to do, but by what it is necessary to do in order that
our nation may survive and flourish. We have learned that we are
quite rich enough to defend ourselves, whatever the cost. We must
now learn that we are quite rich enough to educate ourselves as we
need to be educated. "

I subscribe to that thesis, as I believe an overwhelming majority
of Marylanders do. We must, then, continue relentlessly our effort
to educate the citizens of Maryland as they need to be educated.

ADDRESS. 125TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF THE
BALTIMORE COLLEGE OF DENTAL SURGERY

BALTIMORE

March 5, 1965

Thank you, Dean McCarthy, Dr. Elkins, Dean Salley, members of
the faculty, students and alumni of the Dental School of the Uni-
versity of Maryland, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:

We have come here to commemorate a significant event in man-
kind's long and continuing struggle to improve the health of the
human race. All Marylanders are justifiably proud of the fact that
dental education, as we know it today, began here in Baltimore one-
hundred and twenty-five years ago. It is this anniversary which we
are celebrating.

I am delighted that so many distinguished members of the dental
and medical professions have come here to honor this, the first den-
tal school in the world. As the Governor of our State, I extend a
hearty welcome to those of you who are here from other parts of
the country. I note in particular the presence of two former deans
of the school, Dr. J. Ben Robinson and Dr. Myron Aisenberg, and
deans of other dental schools who are graduates of the University
of Maryland Dental School, Dr. Harry B. McCarthy, of Baylor Uni-
versity; Dr. Kenneth Randolph, of West Virginia University, and Dr.
Louis Fox, of the University of Connecticut.

The people of Maryland feel a deep sense of pride in the history
of their State. Certainly the founding in 1840 of the Baltimore Col-
