Leadership Shown By Research Using new research equipment such as computer simulation, the chewing machine and a nuclear magnetic imaging system, the College of Dentistry was a leader in new medical technologies. Professors in the college strived to prepare graduates to enter private dental practices or graduate programs of dental specialties and research activities as well as continuing education following graduation. A modular curriculum was developed based on multidisciplinary teaching by these departments. The curriculum was designed to give students flexibility and individuality in choosing their program. The program was competency based, stressing behavioral objectives rather than time as primary guidelines for advancement. The program length remained flexible, but students had to complete one-twelfth of the total curriculum each semester. The college had 13 constituent departments of specialization, each offering a doctoral degree program. In addition to coursework during the semester, dental student organizations sponsored free dental check-ups to students and faculty. — Brian Geiger I) Health Center Communications 1) Paul Boldt, a senior in dentistry observes his in periodontics M.
