K •4 ' l Education Jay D. Scnbner Dean. College of Education The big news of 1984-85 for the College of Educa- tion was the continued revision and review of the school ' s programs. All incoming students were advised to consult faculty members on their indi- vidual program. The College was founded in 1919 as a separate school within the university. Throughout the years, the school has developed a six part pro- gram to offer students the best possible educa- tion. This program includes imparting a thorough knowledge of subject matter, contributing to the development of scientific aspects of education, promoting improvement in the education field, evolving types of preparation, developing educa- tional personnel and discovering through research new knowledge in their field. The aim of most of the studetns is to gain state certification. Graduation from the college does not automatically grant endorsement for such certification. Students desiring certification must hold the appropriate degree and fulfill competency requirements, be recommended by the college and submit the required forms. The college ' s rec- ommendations are predicated upon the comple- tion of all requirements and on the fitness of the individual for the professional position. Another obstacle students who desire certifica- tion must overcome is the health standard. Such a standard is used to protect students from ill- ness and disease. Although standards may vary from state to state, as well as from school district to school district, the purpose remains the same: to safeguard the children. - Patrice M.

Dental Hygiene In 1921 the Board of Trustees of Temple autho- rized the organization of a School of Oral Hygiene. In 1965, the trustees renamed the old school the School of Dental Hygiene. The first class had one student, the second class two; and the succeeding classes grew until it was necessary to limit the registration to the number that could be accommodated by the available teaching facilities of the Dental College. The grad- uating class of 1985 boasted 30 students. Over 1,680 young men and women have received their education as dental hygienists, and are to be found following their profession not only in Pennsylvania but throughout the United States. Former alumni include the president and execu- tive secretary of the American Dental Hygienist ' s Association. The dental hygienists honor society, Sigms Phi Alpha, was co-founded by a former head of the school, Margaret A. Bailey. This year ' s class also made its mark. In April, the students attended the Regional Dental Hygien- ists Conference at Westbrook College in Portland, Maine. Another first for the school was the unique ap- proach to clinical studies it took under the direc- tion of Kathern Friel. Mrs. Freil ' s approach was to combine the pre-clinic lab and the dental anatomy labs. This enabled students to combine theory and practice in an actual clinic setting. Director of Dental Hygiene Betsey Alden is justifi- ably proud of the fact that the school has always been an accredited institution. An accredidation occurs every eight to ten years and Temple has passed every year without a problem. A highlight of the year was the official capping of the senior class. This is a tradional ceremony that takes place when the faculty approves the class to enter into clinical practice. Parents and grandparents were all on hand to celebrate their son ' s and daughter ' s achievement. - Patrice M.
