James H. Pfiu« ' . D.D.S., ch-an of llir scluxil of dciiii-ti v The pangs of aching teelh have been one of the universal alTlictions of mankind down through the ages. Modern dentifrices have yet to win tlie bat- tle against this adversity which knows no class, so the need for dentists remains. Under the adminis- tration of Dr. James A. Pence, dean, the Creighton university school of dentistry meets this need by continuing to educate skilled practitioners well able EcUooi o jbe4 ii6in4f. to relic « ' the distresses of mankind while demon- strating tlic excellence of their college training. The graduates this year leave a fully approv ' d dental school which operates a dental clinic where 4,000 cases are treated annually, and a .school which maintains a modern research laboratory where stu- dents receive training both in surgery and in the treatment of mouth diseases. In collaboration with the research laboratory the school has a cancer det ' ction project in progress. Absent from this year ' s social calendar was the molar mixer usually the feature event on the agen- da, but the mixer ' s absence should intensify the significance of its reappearance next year. In the early fall the dental wives sponsored a style show at the Rrandeis auditorium, and on St. Valentine ' s day the uives held a darxe at the Castle hotel. Realizing the urgencies of the war situation many of this year ' s graduates have enlisted in the armed services to serve an int ernship in one of the nation ' s government hospitals. Many more, however, will enter private practice to meet the critical need for dentists that exists througlioiil the world. ft Ji - , Faculty of tlie ?cliool of denti-lry 24
