CEDTER COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY CLINICAL INVESTIGATION and re- search have been steadily increasing at the sixty-two year old College of Den- tistry despite the fact that fifty faculty members and ninety-three per cent of the students are members of the armed forces. However, social activities have of necessity given way to military disci- pline and intensified study, with the major emphasis lying in the fields of growth and development of teeth and the prevention of den- tal disea e. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY THE COLLEGE of Pharmacy, like the rest of the University, met the demands of the war emergency by offering three terms of instruction per year. Neverthe- less, the authorities refused to curtail its curriculum to twenty-four months, real- izing the importance of maintaining the high standards of pharmaceutical edu- cation for which pharmacists have striven for so many years. In order to meet the demand for trained personnel in prescription and manufacturing pharmacy, research, drug and food inspection and analysis, the College of Pharmacy has encouraged the enrollment of women students to replace men called to military service. 29

IHEDICflL SCHOOL OF MEDICINE SERVICE WITH the armed forces was the prospect for many of the sixty-five members of the graduating class at the University ' s Medical School in San Francisco, with forty-two of that num- ber already in uniform. Graduates be- gan their medical studies in U. C. ' s Life Sciences Building, spent their second year at the Medical Center, trained at the San Francisco Hospital in their third year, and returned to the Medical Center to emerge as full- fledged doctors. SCHOOL OF NURSING WITH THE need for trained nurses greater than ever before, the School of Nursing assumed new importance which was reflected in its increased enrollment. Ninety per cent of the students were en- rolled in the United States Nurse Cadet Corps, many of them having been in- spired by previous Nurse ' s Aide train- ing to make hospital work their profes- sion. The school provided outstanding facilities for training in psychiatry, orthopedics and surgery. Varied fields of endeavor were offered the new gradu- ates in educational and public health work, staff or industrial nursing, and service in the Army or Navy. 28

FIDE ARTS ART ENTHUSIASTS engaged in war work have been able to continue their studies at the California School of Fine Arts under an emergency program which includes afternoon classes and three night sessions a week. In addition to the regular classes, successful Satur- day morning children ' s classes in draw- ing, painting and sculpture have been inaugurated. The directors have turned over space in the building for a Red Cross Blood Center, where 300 donations a day are received. HflSTIPGS HASTINGS COLLEGE of the Law was created and affiliated with the Univer- sity in 1878. Now, with the long hand of military needs reaching out for many prospective lawyers, social activities have been curtailed, fraternities have been forced to become inactive, and women number one-third of the student body. However, moot court trials and actual practice in the offices of San Francisco attorneys go on and the insti- tution remains synonymous with fine legal training. DflVIS THE KHAKI uniforms of the U. S. Army Signal Corps have replaced the collegiate atmosphere at the Uni- versity ' s College of Agriculture at Davis. Undaunted by the army of occupa- tion, many former Davis students have evacuated to Berkeley and are carrying on their traditions through the Cal Aggies Club on this campus.
