He remarked to the student nearest him, This dental school is very good, isn ' t it? It certainly is, the student replied proudly. It ' s ap- proved by the Council on Dental Education of the American Dental Association and by the American Asso- ciation of Dental Schools. Only a select group of stu- dents are admitted, and they get the benefit of the best educational techniques in the field. But don ' t you get tired of studying nothing but sci- ence? he continued, Oh, but we don ' t, was the emphatic reply. We try to get as broad a liberal background as possible, in order to gain a better understanding of human rela- tionships. We don ' t leave a dentistry course until we really know the material. It ' s the aim of every student to become o good dentist. DEAN MAURICE J. HICKEY School of Dentistry dentistry and Future dentists gain practical experience. education Susan graduates from the College of Education this spring. Her family will be especially proud because her father was a member of the first class to graduate from this college which was established in 1914. Susan said she found the reading clinic and curriculum workshops to be of great help to her. The visits to student teachers, consultative programs, and informal help through letters and telephone calls were services I could not get along without, said Susan. The library facilities were excellent, too. Susan said graduates from the College of Education feel they have mastered academic content and profes- sional techniques. ' They can think creatively, value good citizenship, and reflect the best in democracy ' ore words I hove heard spoken about these graduates, she added. Susan believes good teachers ore indebted to the ex- cellent training they receive in the College of Education. 24 DEAN FRANCIS F. POWERS College of Education

DEAN GORDON D. MARCKWORTH College of F orestry forestry and graduate school Hello, sir. I am John Baker. I wish to apply for a posi- tion on the State Forestry Service. John Baker, hmmm. Didn ' t you graduate from the University of Washington College of Forestry? the col- lege that aids our department in research develop- ments? the college accredited by the Society of Ameri- can Foresters? It offers a four-year curricula leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Forestry with spe- cialization in forest management, logging engineering, and forest products, doesn ' t it? Yes, I was wondering . . . I don ' t need a sales talk on your college, young man. I just need its graduates. Logging is industrially signifi- cant in the Pacific Northwest, you know. Now tell me what can you do? • Well, I . . . ' Never mind. I know what a young man with your good training can do. Can you start work next week? You know, Tom, I ' ve often heard the Graduate School mentioned around the University, but I never hove been quite sure just exactly what it is. You ' re a graduate stu- dent — maybe you could clear it up for me. I con see where you could easily become confused, Jim. There are graduate students in almost every course of study offered here. The Graduate School is simply the administrative department that keeps track of all these students and admits them to higher degrees. Ad- mission to the status of graduate student is by approved application. In order to maintain a ' clear status ' rating, a student must have a 3.0 grade average. The Graduate School demands more of its students than the undergraduate school, as you con well imag- ine. In order to develop a spirit of research, the gradu- ate student is thrown more upon his own resources and has to measure up to a more severe standard. The University is constantly increasing its emphasis on graduate work, because it feels that the better citizens of tomorrow should be equipped with advanced train- ing, research and scholarship.
