HUGH HIPPLE •Dean The College of Dentistry ELIEVING that dentistry is an important branch of health service, the Q J Dental College aims to prepare its students to practice their profession in accordance with modern ideas regarding the prevention and treatment of disease. Without overlooking the necessity for thorough training in the various technical procedures that are called for in the practice of dentistry, an ever increasing emphasis is being placed upon the teaching of the medical sciences as a foundation for specializing in oral work. Teaching facilities are being increased from time to time by the purchase of new equipment, and in every way the College is endeavoring to keep abreast of the times in dental education. A. H. HiPPLE, Dean. [20]

This college is the youngest of the University group. The four-year course offered comprises two natural divisions, the first two years being devoted to the attainment of a broad cultural background and to furnish such training in the fundamental principles of business as will prepare and fit the student for the intensive analysis re- quired by the highly specialized commerce courses pursued during his final two years. The advantages of location of the school in a large industrial and commercial center makes for close contacts with actual business affairs and it is these contacts that materially assist the student in determining his particular field in the realm of modern business. The Rev. Thomas A. Egan, S. J., is Regent, and Floyd E. Walsh, A. M., B. S. C. is Dean of the College. REV. THOMAS A. EGAN, S. J. I egent Raymond Van Overschelde F. E.

e I G OCSOCSDCSDC OCSOCSOCSOCS9CSDCSOr7SOC CSOCSOC Located in the newest building on the campus, which unbiased opinions state is the best arranged and equipped for its size in the nation, and main- taining within its walls the finest of school spirit and ideals of service as well as the oldest of tradi- tions, the Creighton University is proud to num- ber among its departments the College of Dentistry. More than six hundred graduates have gone out into the professional world since the organization of the College in 1905 (when it replaced the Omaha Dental Colloge) and the progress of the majority of Creighton dentists reflects the excellence of the training received during their collge years. Creigh- ton has consistently turned o ut dentists to whose work and conduct she can point with pride. The spirit of Creighton is well exemplified by many of the professors of the College of Dentistry who have given years of their lives in service to the University and students. Dean A. Hugh Hippie ' s record is one of thirty-four years of con- tinuous service. He held the chair of oral surgery at the Medical School from 1895 to 1905 and then came to the newly organized College of Dentistry to occupy the chair of operative dentistry. It was in 1908 that he was appointed Dean. Dr. Charles F. Crowley, A. M., M. D., Ph. C, LL. D., who has been with the Dental College since its organization, has among his notable achievements the per- formance of the first X-ray in Nebraska, in 1896 — perhaps the first in the middle west. He is professor of Chemistry and Metallurgy, as well as chemist for the City of Omaha, and is a nationally recognized scientist. REV. T. H. AHEARN, S. J. Leo J. Ripp Seniors D. J. Kennedy Juniors J.
