years when the fraternity took
over its operation during an
emergency in 1932-33, and was,
through talks with the late Fred
Butzel, instrumental in Alpha
Omega's contributions to the Al-
lied Jewish Campaign.
On the human side, Dr. Ger-
endasy has been a constant
friend to dental students, par-
ticularly at the University of
Michigan and University of De-
troit, in assisting them in their
entrance, financial and scholas-
tic problems.
Born in Europe, Dr. Geren-
dasy came to New York as a
youth, and attended the public
schools there, graduating in 1919
from the Columbia University
school of dentistry. Shortly after
graduation he moved to Detroit
and has been in practice here
ever since.
