HARRY SEMANS Dean COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY y offering a complete curriculum under the tutelage of competent instructors, the College of Dentistry prepares students for the highly specialized profession of dentistry. Students are given practice in their chosen profession by working in the dental clinic. This clinic is visited daily by many students and residents of Columbus. The work of the students is under the supervision of Dr. C. W. Strosnider and assistants at all times and is a requirement for graduation. In addition to this very practical training in taking care of teeth, students are given instruction in the art of modeling teeth. Under the guidance of Dean Harry M. Semans they are taught first how to carve teeth, in the exact proportions, out of soap. Then they are taught how to make casts and, finally, how to make exact fittings of casts. This, coupled with the learning of the nerves and the development of the human head, provides the student with the necessary information and training for the practice of dentistry. Prospective dental students must attend a college of liberal arts and sciences for two years before they are considered for admission to the College. The dental course itself requires four years of university work. Realizing that appearance and personality, as well as punctuality, are essential requirements in the field of dentistry, rigid conformity to rules of the clinic is insisted upon.

GEORGE ARPS Dean COLLEGE OF EDUCATION LESTON LOVE Junior Dean he College of Education offers both practical and theoretical training for those who wish to become members of the vast educational system. The practical work includes observation and study in the University School. Established in 1932, this school serves as a laboratory where advanced methods of elementary and secondary school education are carried out. Here the student may see the working of the theories of modern education which, if proven satisfactory, will some day revolutionize the present methods of education. The College assists the student in acquiring a knowledge of the branches which he wishes to teach, in developing a professional attitude toward education, and in obtaining skill in the use of efficient methods of teaching and supervision. A Teachers Placement Service is maintained by the University for the convenience of the Superintendents and Boards of Education of the State. Besides the placement of teachers, the Service has available such statistical information as will give advice and direction in the matter of supply and demand for teachers in the various fields. A general curriculum has been established which is intended to prepare the student to teach equally well in two high school teaching fields. Special curricula are pre- pared for teachers and supervisors in single phases of education. The curricula of the College provide for the varied demands of public school teaching. The aim is not to develop a mere knowledge of the subject and the rules for teaching it, but to provide the teachers with an understanding of the nature and needs of the young and to develop an acquaintance with the most favorable conditions for their growth.
