Rfv. John J. McInerny, S.J. Regent supply of gas, electric power and lamps, compressed air, and hot and cold water is maintained at all times. Members of the senior class are furnished individual instrument cabinets. The clinic is also equipped with a modern sterilization cabinet which is one of the finest in any school infirmary. As the patients registered in the clinic are drawn not only from Omaha but from the surrounding territory in Nebraska and Iowa, the students are afforded a va- riety of practice in all phases of oral dentistry. The personal touch maintained between instructor and student is the keynote of the curriculum. The faculty is known for their attention to the latest de- velopments in the theoretical and operative fields of the science, thus passing on to the students benefits accruing from the newest achieve- ments in the profession. By combining every factor in a perfectly equipped school under the direction of an eminent faculty, the dental student is able to lay sure foundations for careful, accurate and finished workmanship, and at the same time to gain sufficient knowl- edge and experience to diagnose cases and to apply with certainty and confidence the proper treatment. The high regard in which the School is held by the government is shown by the fact that Creighton, with seven other of the nation ' s leading institutions, was selected for the establishment of a Dental Section of the Officer ' s Reserve Training Corps. Creighton graduates are eligible, upon completion of the prescribed course, to a commission as First Lieutenant in the Dental Section of the Officer ' s Reserve Corps. By means of a methodical record which is kept of all the work done by each individual student, the faculty supervisor can tell at any time to what extent the student is capable and experienced in each of the different phases of dental work studied. The reputation of the department is ably upheld by its graduates who are respected as leaders of their profession in national as well as local dental circles. Forest T. Graves Donald E.

Dr. Frank J. Viner Acting Dean The School of Dentistry Jl -EALIZING that leadership in the profession of dentistry requires an education that will enable the practitioner to keep pace with ever- changing conditions and ever-improving methods, the faculty of the School of Dentistry exerts every in- fluence toward preparing graduates of the department in all lines of dental practice. The degree of doctor of dental surgery is attained after a four-year course, which is preceeded by one year of pre-dental study in the College of Arts and Sciences. All phases of the professional man ' s future requirements are adequately cared for, so that the graduate will not only be a finished technician and operator, but a cultured gentleman as well. The dental supremacy of Creighton ' s School of Dentistry rests to a great extent upon the meticulous care with which foundations for future professional leadership are built. The School maintains complete technical, metallurgical and microscopic laboratories together with a large in- firmary, operating room and X-ray laboratories. The most important consideration in one ' s usual judgment of ability, namely skill, is chiefly acquired in the infirmary, which is regarded as a model by dental educators throughout the country. Clinical facilities are of the finest, and as a result over 4,000 patients are treated annually by the upper-classmen. Each student is equipped with the latest type of electrical operating units and cabinets, and furnished with unexcelled facility supervision as he forms the ground-work of his own practice by caring for the patient through the successive stages of complete treatment. All work done in the clinic by the students is under the guidance of a faculty super- visor. The students have the use of dental chairs of the most modern make, equipped with fountain cuspidors and electrical units of the most up-to-date type.

Louis J. TePoel Dean The School of Law Xn accord with the ideals set forth by the founders of Creighton University, the school of law has maintained since its foundation, standards that not only provide graduates with a thor- ough knowledge of law but, in addition, a correct ap- preciation of the ethics and duties of the legal pro- fession. The Creighton School of Law, founded by men of unexcelled ideals, is an everlasting benefit to its gradu- ates. The high standards set up by the founders have been rigidly maintained. The object of the courses offered in the School of Law is to fit the graduates for practice in any jurisdiction in which the common law prevails, but as the common law differs in various localities because of political, economic, and social conditions, the School of Law offers something more than can be had in so-called national schools. It aims at imparting specialized training for the mid-western attorney. Effective preparation for the bar is thus measurably attained. The Creighton School of Law is one of the few institutions of its kind whose graduates are admitted to practice in several states without bar examinations. The School of Law is a member of the American Bar Association and is on the Approved List of the Association of American Law Schools, an organization in which only one-third of the law schools in the United States are permitted to hold membership. Enrollment is restricted in order to insure a uniform student body and to prevent un- wieldness in the size of the classes, thus, the Creighton tradition of close personal relation- ship between the student and faculty member is maintained. As the chief pvirpose of law school instruction is the development of the legal mind , which implies acuteness of per- ception and heightened power of analysis, successful legal education is not possible under other conditions.
