Dr. Henry I. Wachtel, New York dentist, who donated the first free dental health clinic at the Straus Health Center in Jerusalem, has just given an extensive dental library, consisting of numerous standard works in dentistry, oral surgery and oral Roentgenology to the library of the Hebrew University.
The collection includes all of the leading dental journals published in America since 1912 and comprises several thousand copies. The leading dental journals of the German-speaking countries, including Austria, Germany and Switzerland, are being sent regularly to the dental department of the medical department of the library and are subscribed for by Dr. Wachtel.
