Dr. Frank J. Viner Dean School of Dentistry With facilities available for the finest clinical work, the school of dentistry continued to feature practical training for the dental students in the course of their four years of study. Students were afforded a variety of practice in all phases of oral dentistry as a result of the clinic maintained in the dental building. Pa- tients are drawn not only from Omaha but from surrounding Nebraska and Iowa territory. Each student was equipped with the latest type of electrical operating units and cabinets. Com- plete records of the work of each student in clinical practice enable instructors to de- termine how capable the individual student is in the varying types of dental work involved. The course of study is administered on the principle that leadership in modern den- tistry requires an ability to keep pace with constantly changing conditions and so the student is carefully prepared in all lines of dental practice. Requisite for entrance into the school is two years of pre-dental study in the college of arts and sciences. The dental graduate receives the degree of doctor of dental surgery. Theory courses in the school are added to in laboratory sessions in which the stu- dent has access to the latest in modern technical, metallurgical and microscopic labo- ratories as well a3 a large infirmary, surgical operating rooms and X-Ray laboratories. Students and faculty members of the school this year joined dentists of the world in celebrating dentistry ' s 100th anniversary. f M f f t f » I % V % $ ■•% ' The School of Dentistry Faculty 21

The School of Law Faculty Sch ool o f L dW X HE student barristers of the school of law spent a year of combining the theoretical study of legal procedure with many practical sessions in Moot Court to round out their lessons in law. Changes in curriculum and faculty made little difference in the school year for the student lawyers. Most far-reaching course change was the combining of four courses, Legal Ethics, Code Pleading, Trial Practice and Common Law Actions, into one study under the title Judicial Administration. The newly named subject has been scheduled as a ten-hour course to cover a two-year period. Only faculty change is the addition of William J. Baird as instructor in Public Utilities. New donations swelled the Law library ' s total of more than forty thousand vol- umes. The library has maintained its collection of volumes dealing with session laws and stat- utes of the United States, England and Canada. Students daily found time in the library to gain necessary reading supplementary to that con- tained in regular textbooks. The maintenance of high standards of study in the teaching of legal subjects, resulted in the retention by the Law school of membership in the American Association of Law Schools and the American Bar Association. The policy of limiting enrol lment to 123 students was con- tinued with a view to maintaining small classes and resultant close student-faculty relations. Of particular interest are Moot Court ses- sions wherein the lawyers are enabled to de- velop courtroom technique. Louis J. TePoel Dean 20

c ollege o M- f Ph drmdcy VV ' lLUAM A. Jarrett Dean .AiNTAiNiNG the high stand- ards of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, highest accredited agency in phar- maceutical education, the Creighton college of pharmacy continued its nationally recognized work without changes in policy during the past year. With graduates of the department assisting them with advice gained from their own ex- periences, students are given wide knowledge of their field as well as the opportunity to specialize in particular phases of the pharma- ceutical profession. This desirable feature is provided through the arrangement of the curriculum which allots the first two years to providing a sound foundation, giving the final two years to the student to devote his studies to the branch in which his interest is greatest. To give students actual practice, a prescription clinic is maintained in cooperation with the school of medicine. Prescriptions written for patients of the medical clinic are compounded by pharmacy students, supervised by a faculty member who is also a reg- istered druggist. Most of these are filled free of charge, although a fee is asked of those financially able to pay. Graduates of the college of pharmacy are admitted to board examinations in those states requiring graduation from an accredited college of pharmacy as a pre-requisite to these tests. The majority of the states have rulings demanding this high standard in the modern applicant for board examinations. The College of Pharmacy Faculty 22
