able to the public at all times. The four thousand patients registered annually are drawn not only from Omaha but from the surrounding territory in Nebraska and Iowa. The students are afforded a great variety of practice in all phases of oral work. They are taught to meet and handle patients and to diagnose new cases under supervision. By means of a methodical record, which contains every step from registration to completion of the operation, a reference is kept on hand for all work done by the student. This system provides that at the end of the year it can be readily determined whether the skill and experience of each student entitles him to pass in the practical work. Prospective patients are given a complete oral examination and diagnosis by the student under the supervision of a doctor. All the work is inspected and corrected by faculty advisers. It is in the clinic that the technical skill and the theory of the classroom are developed through actual work. It is here that the student lays sure foundations of careful, accurate and finished workmanship. Rev. John J. McInernYj S. J. ' Regent Charles M. Stebner Cecil G. Muller Roger V. Chastain Herluf C.

The College of dentistry BECAUSE dentistry is an important branch of the health service, the Dental College attempts to prepare its stu- dents to practice their profession in accord- ance with modern ideas regarding the pre- vention and treatment of disease. An ever- increasing emphasis is being laid on a gen- eral instruction in the medical scie nces as a foundation for specialization in oral work. Practical work in dentistry is used to supplement the theory taught in the class- room. The students work under the direc- tion of faculty supervisors in the clinic, which is equipped with facilities for eighty-six students to work at one time. Chairs of modern make equipped with fountain cuspidors and electric units of the most up-to-date type are at the disposal of the students. There is also a plentiful supply of gas, electric power and lamps, compressed air and hot and cold water. In ad- dition, the members of the senior class are provided with individual instru- ment cabinets. The clinic is in operation all twelve months of the year and is avail Dr. a. Hugh Hipple ■Deatt

The School of Law N furtherance of the opinion that actual practice is as much an essential to a thorough education in law as is the theory gained in the classrooms and from text bocks, the faculty of the School of Law has planned the curriculum so as to give a well-balanced education in law. On the base provided by competent in- structors, an attempt is made to instill a practical knowledge of the workings of the courts and legislative bodies. As a means to this end, the Moot Court and the Model House, a model legislative house, were instituted. The Moot Court provides actual court practice for the embryo lawyers and trials, based on and following as closely as possible the actual court procedure, are carried out by the students. A faculty member presides as judge over all these trials wherein the senior students serve as lawyers, the juniors as witnesses and the freshmen as jurors. By following the Moot Court through the three years of the course, the student gains at least an elemenary knowledge of actual trial procedure.
