Dean Miner Awarded Medal by Connecticut Association

Leroy M. S. Miner, Dean of the Harvard Dental School and president-elect of the American Dental Association, was presented the Newell Sill Jenkins Medal of the Connecticut State Dental Association at the society's annual meeting held here tonight.

The medal was presented at the evening session after Dr. Miner had given a paper on "the Widening Opportunities for the Dentist in Oral Diagnosis." The medal was established in 1922 by Leonard A. Jenkins of New Haven, and is awarded each year to the person who, in the judgment of a committee appointed from the Connecticut State Dental Association, has made a notable contribution to Dentistry, Science or Humanity.

Other Harvard dental men participating in the meetings are Dr. Maurice E. Peters; Dr. M. S. Strcok, instructor in oral surgery at the School; and Dr. Norman W. Swett, instructor in prosthetic dentistry.
