©ental !§ cfjool his year more than ever before Marquette University has felt the importance of its Dental School. The curriculum was reorganized on an accelerated war-time basis in June. 1 942. in order to provide dental officers for the army and navy as quickly as |M ssihlc. Evidences of the services of the Dental Clinic which is con ducted by the school were seen this fall when Mitchell ir Field sent over its army fliers to have their teeth examined by the dental students of Marquette. The war accelerated program has shortened the semesters so that three semesters are included in 52 weeks’ work. Because the government realizes the need for efficient dentists and as many as it can possibly get. it has lent funds to students so that they may continue their education. The purpose for these loans is to aid students who formerly had the opportunity to earn money during their summer vacations whereas now, with vacations eliminated, it is impossible for them to do so. In 1894, the Milwaukee Medical College organized a Dental School. Both schools became a part of Marquette University in 1907. It was not until 1913 when the Medical School was reorganized that the Dental School be- came an integral part of Marquette University. Since that time the Dental School has grown to be considered one of the outstanding schools in the country and its graduates are recognized by every state in the union. It is one of the 24 schools in the United States that can claim this coveted rating in national circles. Dr. Henry 1.. Banzhaf has been dean of the school since 1902. Dr. George Wilson is assistant dean and director of the Dental Clinic. The Rev. Anthony Rerens. S. J., is regent of the School of Dentistry. The Dental Clinic is equipped to care for thousands of patients who need but Could not otherwise afford professional dental treatment. It is also a means of providing actual practice which is vital to the students under the constant su pervision of a capable faculty. Tin-modern equipment in the oral surgen room, the exodontia rooms, the radio-graphic laboratory, and other facilities enable students to observe the most modern techniques employed in dentistry. All of the physically qualified grail uates of the school in the classes that graduated in June. 1942. and in February. 1943. are already in either the N’avv as Lieutenants (j.g.) or the Army as First Lieutenants. 17
