Many in dental education are unfamiliar with the professional life and thought of Dr. Alfred Owre, a distinguished though controversial dental educator in the early twentieth century. Owre served as dean of dentistry at both the University of Minnesota, 1905-27, and Columbia University, 1927-33. He was also a member of the Carnegie Foundation's commission that developed the report Dental Education in the United States and Canada, written by Dr. William J. Gies. Owre was a controversial leader due to his creative and original ideas that challenged dental education and the profession. His assessment and critique of the problems of dental education in his era can readily be applied to contemporary dental education and the profession, just as his vision for transformative change resonates with ideas that continue to be advocated by some individuals today. This article also documents his tumultuous relationship with Gies.
许多牙科教育工作者不熟悉阿尔弗雷德·欧文博士的职业生涯和思想，他是 20 世纪初一位杰出但颇具争议的牙科教育家。欧文曾于 1905 年至 1927 年在明尼苏达大学和 1927 年至 1933 年在哥伦比亚大学担任牙科学院院长。他还是卡内基基金会开发《美国和加拿大的牙科教育》报告的委员会成员，该报告由威廉·J·吉斯博士撰写。欧文是一位颇具争议的领导者，因为他的创造性和原创性思想挑战了牙科教育和专业。他对当时牙科教育问题的评估和批评可以很容易地应用于当代牙科教育和专业，就像他对变革性变革的愿景与今天一些人仍然倡导的思想产生共鸣一样。本文还记录了他与吉斯之间的动荡关系。
