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.

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

Combining the general background of liberal arts courses with technical training in reporting, editing, advertising and radio writing, the College of Journalism trains men and women to perform the work of journalism according to sound principles and thorough practical experience. In addition to the new trimester system, begun last July, a four-semester War Emergency Program in Journalism was set up for the purpose of supplementing the immediate manpower shortage in newspaper and magazine production, in advertising services, in radio and other communication media. This temporary war-geared program of basic courses in Journalism provides the men and women with a minimum of specialized training necessary for starting positions in the field of journalism. Four publications are edited and managed by students in Journalism at Marquette, giving them experience in writing, editing, news coverage and makeup. They are the HILLTOP, University yearbook produced by the Junior class; the TRIBUNE, weekly newspaper staffed by upperclassmen; the JOURNAL, literary quarterly; and the ALUMNI NEWS, newspaper published monthly for former Marquettcrs. J. L. O’Sullivan, now completing his six tcenth year as Dean of the College, began his career at Marquette as a student in the old School of Journalism. He spent many years coordinating the framework of theory with the substance of practical newspaper experience. Rev. Gerald P. Brennan, S.J., Regent of the College, has held that position since 19-10. Affiliated with the College of Journalism arc Theta Sigma Phi, national professional sorority for women in the field, and Kappa Tau Alpha, national honorary scholastic fraternity. Both Sigma Delta Chi. national professional, and Chi Alpha Psi, local professional fraternity, are not actively organized at the present time. Page 24 J. L.
