COLUMBIA With the formation of the Medical Center at 168th Street and Broadway, the school progressed yet another step when it took over the three upper floors of the Vanderbilt Clinic Wing. This gave the school 40,000 sq. feet with which to continue the teaching of dentistry and also afforded the school the oppor- tunity of linking hands with the College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Vanderbilt Clinic. On December 21, 192 8, members of the faculty and student body recog- nized the need for a group to foster a more intimate relationship between the faculty and students and also to assist in the improvement of the institution. This resulted in the organization of the Student Council with representation by the faculty and the four classes comprising the student body. After a lapse of four years the William Jarvie Society was reorganized in 1929 and today gives promise of carrying out the original plans of its organizers. In this year a new periodical came into existence, the Dental Review, the official publication of the student body and its only literary organ. In 1929, only one issue saw the printers ink but the reception accorded was so satisfying as to assure its future. In 193 0, two issues appeared, one in magazine form and the other as a year book. With the year 1931-32, the professional world was startled by the an- nouncement that the School of Dental and Oral Surgery of Columbia University now requires an entrance requirement of three years of College credit. This makes the College the one and only Dental School in the country to exact such a requirement. It naturally places the School in a position highly gratify- ing to the faculty, alumni and student body. Looking back over the years one sees a small ship seemingly enveloped in fog but with every glance it gradually increases in size until today it is seen as a beautiful vessel with graceful lines developed by the untiring efforts of its builders. Such a ship requires a large and faithful crew. Let every Columbian, graduate or under-graduate remember that he is an integral part of the crew and that every stroke made by every member has some bearing upon the ship ' s course. J. J. M.
