Maynard K. Hine Posthumously Inducted into the Pierre Fauchard Academy Hall of Fame

Indiana University’s longest-serving dean of dentistry was posthumously inducted into the Pierre Fauchard Academy (PFA) International Hall of Fame of Dentistry in the fall of 2007, becoming only the 20^th person to receive this prestigious recognition. The honor places Dr. Maynard Hine, who served as dean (1945-68) and as first chancellor of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (1969-73), in the company of such legendary figures in dentistry as Dr. Fauchard and Dr. G.V. Black. The academy chooses candidates whose distinguished records of service are known by the dental profession throughout the world. The Hall of Fame actually has two locations: at the French Federation of Dentistry in Paris and at the Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry in Baltimore, Md. In addition to honoring Dr. Hine at these sites, the PFA has given the IU School of Dentistry a plaque for permanent display at the school. It was presented in October at the Fall Dental Alumni Conference, with Dr. Hine’s son, Dr. William Hine, Terre Haute, Ind., and grandsons, IUSD Professors William Hine Jr. and Charles Hine, among the family members who participated in the Indianapolis event.
