HENRY L. BANZHAF, DR.
Dr. Banzhaf of Marquette Dental School Is Dead
Dean Emeritus began Practice in Manitowoc, Educated at Two Rivers
Dr. Henry L. Banzhaf, 85, dean emeritus of the Marquette university school of
dentistry, who began his dental practice in Manitowoc over 60 years ago, died
Tuesday at his Milwaukee home. Dr. Banzhaf headed the Marquette dental school
as dean from 1902 to 1942 and was dean emeritus at his death. He also was
business manager of the university from 1922 until retiring in 1946.
He is survived by his wife, the former Ida Schuette, daughter of the late Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Schuette of Manitowoc, two sons, George and Henry, all of
Milwaukee.
Funeral services will be held Friday in Milwaukee.
Dr. Banzhaf was born at Hartford, Wis., and spent his early life on a farm in
the town of Mishicot. He attended high school at Two Rivers and later entered
the University of Michigan school of dentistry from which he was graduated in
1886. He came to Manitowoc to open a dental office and practiced until 1902.
He then moved to Milwaukee to become dean of the Milwaukee Medical college dental
department, which became the Marquette school in 1907. Dr. Banzhaf was instrumental
in building the university’s dental building in 1922 and installing what is
believed to be the largest one room dental clinic in the world. The clinic today
has 167 chairs.
In 1950 at Milwaukee he was named “dentist of the half century” for Wisconsin by
the Wisconsin State Dental society. He served a president of the Milwaukee school
board of which he was a member from 1911 to 1919, trustee of the Milwaukee public
library and museum, president of the American College of Dentists, president of the
State Dental society and president of the American Dental association.
Dr. Banzhaf helped organize the Dental Education Council of America in 1910 and was
its executive secretary for 10 years. He holds an honorary doctor of laws degree of
the University of Pittsburgh.
The retired Marquette dean headed practically every dental educational and
professional group in the country and at one time was a major in the dental reserve
corps of the United States army. He was also a former member of the state board of
dental examiners.
In 1948, Dr. and Mrs. Banzhaf observed their golden wedding anniversary in Milwaukee
ago (sic) Dr. Banzhaf had been writing his autobiography. The book will tell of his
work under eight Marquette university presidents.
