Dental School The Marquette University School of Dentistry has heard its country's call to arms and it has answered with whole-hearted cooperation. In June 1942 the program to provide dental officers for the army and navy as quickly as possible was inaugurated. Today the success of this accelerated war-time program is assured, and 95 per cent of the students who were graduated in 1942-1943 received commissions in the army or the navy. In July 1943 the Dental students who had been in the reserve corps resigned their commissions, were inducted into active service and immediately ordered back to Marquette to continue their professional education. The history of the Marquette Dental School began in 1894 as part of the Milwaukee Medical School. In 1907 both departments were absorbed by Marquette University until 1913 when the Dental School became an integral part of Marquette. The Dental Clinic, maintained by the school and operated by the students, provides the opportunity for practical application of technical knowledge, and for the acquisition of professional skill. It is equipped to care for the thousands of patients in the city who need professional care but cannot afford the price of obtaining it elsewhere. For these patients, students, under the supervision of a capable faculty, provide excellent and inexpensive care. Here, amid the modern equipment of the oral surgery room, the exodonba rooms, and the radiographic laboratory, the students can observe the modern methods of dentistry. Delta Sigma Delta, national professional fraternity, Psi Omega, international professional fraternity and Alpha Omega, national professional Jewish fraternity, maintain chapters at Marquette. Dean George Wilson, former assistant dean and director of the clinic, replaced Dr. Henry L. Banzhaf who retired in February after completing his 31st year as dean. Rev. Anthony Berens, S.J., is Regent. Dr. George Wilson Dun of the School of Dentistry Dr. Henry L ikuuhaf Dean Emeritus Res Anthony F Berens, S.J. Regent Page 22

Training to overcome social and economic problems of the business profession is the primary aim of collegiate education for those interested in business management. For this reason the Robert A. Johnston College of Business Administration was established to supply scientihc training to the young men and women whose task will be the guidance of the more complex business enterprises resulting from industrial and commercial development and expansion. The opportunities offered in this College are designed to develop the individual's talents, and to help him in acquiring technical and professional informations, skills and techniques. During his first two years in the College, the student secures a broad foundation upon which to base the more technical courses offered in the last two years. Thus the managerial and operating points of view, so important, are stressed in the advanced courses in labor, production, marketing, finance, real estate, insurance and accounting. Rev. Thomas F. Divine, S.J. Dcjo of the College of Business Administration While the student is developing his ability to identify and solve business problems, and is seeking to adjust himself and his business practices to changing social and economic conditions, he learns the basis for sound principles of ethical conduct which are stressed throughout his various courses. The Navy, realizing the military value of business training, is well represented on the College's roll call. This year saw the graduation of the first class of NROTC cadets enrolled in the College of Business Administration. Although the war necessitated several changes in the curriculum last year, the directors are now formulating plans for postwar expansion. As head of the College, Rev. Thomas F Divine, S.J., has guided the progress of the School since September. 1942. Father Divine is also professor and head of the Department of Economics. The associate dean is Dr. Stewart S. Scrimshaw. Dr. Stewart Scrimshaw Assistant Dean Pace 21

hn ineering Now in its third year of wartime training, the Marquette College of Engineering this year has extended its facilities to the armed services. During the past summer, the college, anticipating the need for trained engineers for the war effort, completed arrangements to train V-12 and N. R. O. T. C. units. In accordance with the accelerated training program the five year cooperative system of education was temporarily suspended and replaced in July by a trimester program. Under this new plan students will be enabled to complete their college course in three years. In addition to the regular courses night classes are conducted to train men and women for work in industry. Franz A. Kartak was Dean of the College of Engineering until his retirement in March when William D. Bliss, assistant dean, succeeded him. Father Joseph F. Carroll, S. J., is Regent. Membership in student organizations is open to civilians and servicemen alike, and has not been seriously affected by the war. Tau Beta Pi, national honorary engineering fraternity, Pi Tau Sigma, honorary mechanical engineering fraternity. Sigma Phi Delta and Triangle, national professional fraternities, maintain active chapters at Marquette. Other professional engineering societies at Marquette are the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Society of Civil Engineers. Composed of juniors and seniors in the College, the Engineering Knights of Marquette was organized to honor St. Patrick, patron saint of all engineers. Members for this organization are selected on the basis of extra-curricular activities and high scholarship. The engineers organized their own branch of the Marquette Sodality in February, 1945, and it has rapidly become well established on the upper campus. Fr. Michael V. Murray, S. J., is moderator.
