Dr. George Stewart (D’44) The Penn Dental Medicine community remembers Dr. George Stewart (D’44), Professor Emeritus of Endodontics, who passed away on November 23, 2009 at the age of 90. Dr. Stewart, along with Dr. Louis I. Grossman (D’23, H’78), was the founder of the Postdoctoral Endodontic Program at the School and a prominent faculty member, joining Penn Dental Medicine in 1947, following his military service as Captain of the United States Army Dental Corps. During his six decades of dedication to Penn Dental Medicine, Dr. Stewart served as Instructor and Associate of Oral Medicine, and Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor of Oral Medicine at the School. He later held the positions of Director of Graduate Endodontics, Professor of Endodontics, Program Coordinator for Graduate Periodontics/ Endodontics, and was Professor Emeritus of Endodontics from 1972 until his passing. In addition to his work at Penn Dental Medicine, Dr. Stewart delivered many international guest lectures, authored and contributed to over 40 articles and books, and had the unique honor of being appointed Dental Consultant to Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip during their visit to Philadelphia in 1976. Dr. Stewart was also a member of numerous scientific organizations and societies, holding positions such a charter member of the American Association of Endodontists, where he was president from 1958 to 1959. He received the Association’s highest honor, the Edgar D. Coolidge Award for Leadership and Exemplary Dedication to Dentistry and Endodontics in 1982. Dr. Stewart was a highly respected and dedicated teacher with an international reputation as an educator, researcher, and clinician. “Throughout my academic career I have rarely met someone like George,” says Dr. Syngcuk Kim, Chair and Louis I. Grossman Professor of Endodontics. “He was caring, giving, thoughtful, considerate, and undemanding. We all appreciated his gentle manner, devotion to teaching, and dedication to the School.”
