their appreciation for the work lu had done during his 31 years b as dean of the Dental school. Faculty mem Ihts also presented ihe I )ental school with a. portrait of Dean Emeritus Manzhaf. Omicron Kappa I psilon, a chapter of the national dental honor society, and chapters of I’si Ome- ga, I elta Sigma I el ta and Alpha Omega, national dental frater- nities are also affiliated with the school. The naval program of training dentists still is in progress at the Dental school. Upon com- pletion of the course, naval trainees are com- missioned. However, the Ami) Specialized Training Program was organized in the school until November, when the ASTI dental stu- dents were returned to a civilian status and enabled to continue their dental study and training as such. Yet, though emphasis is now on needs of the armed forces, the School of Dentistry aims to advance Christian idealism, thus further nurturing the seed that was (lesu and the seed ling that was St. Aloysius Academy. MEDICINE Mso in the Marquette School of Medicine the army and navy needs have prevailed, so that the training of doctors for the services has now become the principle task of the school. The vast facilities of the school were turned over to the army and navy at the be- ginning of the war. and the school has con- tinued to graduate doctors in the same high tradition it has had since its foundation 32 years ago. The school, as an individual unit of the Uni- versity. resulted from the combination of the Milwaukee Medical College and the Wiscon- sin College of Physicians and Surgeons. This merger was made in 1903. The school is locat ed in the Harriet L. Cramer Memorial build- ing on North Fifteenth Street. One of the lirst schools on the campus to adopt the trimester program at the beginning of the war, the Medical school has accelerated its work so that the courses leading to gradua- tion can now be completed in three years. The one year of internship, a previous requirement for graduation, has been dropped for the dura- tion. Medical students gain practical experience by working in the Student health clinic. This clinic, located in the Medical school building, provides health care for all students at the I niversity. Medical students also work in the hearing clinic which opened this year in con- junction with the health clinic. The hearing clinic is open to the public as well as to stu- dents. Besides training doctors for the armed service, the Medical school has contributed to the war effort by releasing 43 of its faculty members for service. Those doctors still teach- ing at the University are engaged in medical research vital to the health of the nation. Special research in cancer and poliomyelitis has gained nation wide attention.

The outstanding work of the Dental clinic was continued. In this clinic, University students and other Milwau- keeans may receive excellent and inexpensive care from students under the supervision of their instructors. To provide for the increasing number of its patients, as well as new types of treatment, a considerable amount of new instruments and chairs were added to the mod- ern equipment already in use in the clinic. Two new full time teachers were also added to the faculty. Distributed this year to Marquette’s sons in service was the “Dentalogue. pamphlet, pre- pared by a faculty committee and directed by Dr. John W. Ouasnev. The pamphlet contains information about the more than live hundred graduates o f the Dental School who are now officers in the rmy and Navy. The recently or- ganized stude n t council has also tak- en a stride forward by securing m o r e authority to act.
