II I Bill, 1 I E ! I! c i . i r I HENRY S. HOUOHTON Dean T ?e College of Medicine WITH the autumn session of 1928-29 the College of Medicine entered a new phase in its development. A group of recently constructed buildings, carefully designed to bring together into a harmonious and effective unit the various divisions of the college, has provided a phy- sical equipment of unusual beauty and usefulness. It seems particularly appropriate to formulate objectives for future work, in the light of the long and honorable history which has preceded the present stage of the existence of the College. In summarizing the situation as it now stands it may be said that the College has under instruction four hundred sixty -one students of medicine, two hundred fourteen students of nursing, and five hundred eighty-five students of other colleges enrolled for courses offered in the College of Medicine. This registration involves a task in education to which the faculty is seriously addressing itself. The aim of the college, educationally, is to produce from carefully chosen young men and women of Iowa, the high type of leadership in the field of medicine, and in service of the commonwealth for which this college was designed by those who laid its broad foundation. Closely associated with the task of teaching is that of healing: the new General Hospital which provides a total of approximately a thousand beds will be devoted to the medical care of the people of Iowa, principally those who are unable to pay for private professional service. While some accommodations for pay patients are available competition with practicing physicians is avoided. Twenty-one

' . f , ' GEORGE F. KAY Dean c The College of Liberal Arts HE College of Liberal Arts is the oldest of all of the colleges of the University of Iowa campus. It is the center from which the other colleges have sprung and around which they have been developed. It serves the purpose of of- fering a firm and concrete foundation for creative work in the other colleges and schools on the campus. The college includes, at the present, three schools, namely, the School of Journalism; the School of Music ; and the School of Religion. There are also twenty-three departments, all of which give courses not alone to undergraduate but to graduate students. The four types of courses which are organized within the college are : the Standard Course ; the Special Courses ; the Combined Courses ; and the Semi-Pro- fessional Courses. The students are able to select their work so as to obtain a broad education and to secure a basis for a professional training. The college affords a cultivation of the students in their ideals of a general culture and for them to acquire a knowledge of a direct service in a chosen field. In the year 1927-1928 the registration in the Liberal Arts college exceeded 5,500 students. The instructional staff, including assistants, comprises more than 400 persons. The College is planning continually, in its curricular activities, to meet the needs of the individual students. The hope of the faculty is that the young men and women of today may be so educated that when they graduate they will enter their life work well-trained and imbued with the spirit of service. - a i n ' - JOHN FALVEY VIRGIL DAVID ORAN H.

. 1 Utti! li T je College of Dentistry G FRANK T. BREENE Dean ' HE College of Dentistry is second to none in its facilities for instruction. It is a member of the American Association of Dental Schools and is on the list of the National Association of Dental Examiners. Its diploma is recognized by law in every state in the Union and in every foreign country where an American diploma confers legal rights. The College forms an integral part of the University, a connection which offers its students all the advantages, privileges, and social fellowships of the student body as a whole. The faculty of the College of Dentistry is composed for the most part of resident professors. The courses consist of one year ' s study in liberal arts and four years of study of medical fundamentals and technical work, leading to a degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.). It is designed to cover thoroughly the theory and practice of dentistry and is under the direction of both dental and medical faculties. After the student has mastered the theory and has acquired skill in the technique of the prosthetic and operative laboratories, he is ready to enter the infirmary and work with patients. The advantages of specialization are emphasized. Attention of the ambitious student is called to possibilities of such special fields as Radiography, Diagnosis, Oral Surgery, Anaethesia, Orthodontia. The equipment of the infirmary is exceptional and 5,000 patients with 22,00 cases offer abundant clinical material, insuring that the graduating senior will have had much varied practical work.
