Dr. Sidney I. Silverman, Class of 1937, passed away in September at the age of 96. Dr. Silverman had a legendarily productive career. A long-time professor and chairman of the department of prosthodontics at NYUCD, his alma mater, he later reinvented himself as a faculty member at the NYU School of Medicine, where he served with distinction as a clinical professor in the department of neurology pursuing an avid interest in research combining neurology with oral medicine. Yet he never gave up dentistry, his first professional love. Indeed, he continued to practice dentistry until over the age of 90. Last spring he was honored for 50 years of service to the College, which he said accounted for his longevity. Dr. Silverman was the author of the book, Comes the Millenium—It's Still Tough to be Jewish: 100 Years in the Life of An Immigrant Family, published in 2006 by Savant Book Series. His passing truly marks the end of an era.
