Vim. : The College of Engineering CLEMENT C. WILLIAMS Dean f|p ' HE aim of the College of Engineering is to I prepare young men to enter the profession of III engineering and to contribute to the advance- ment of the science of engineering. The two aspects of the practice of engineering are professional and mechanical skill. The former is scientific and economic while the latter tends more to the skilled trades. Like the colleges of Law, Medi- cine, Commerce, Education and other professional colleges with which it is associated, the College of Engineering aims at professional education rather than mechanical skill. The college contributes to the science of engineering through its researches and the writings of its faculty. Two of the best known books on railroad engineer- ing were written by members of the Iowa faculty ; and other contributions cover a wide range such as public utilities, masonry structures, astronomy, pumping, structures and surveying. Recent improvements in the facilities of the college include a new hydraulics laboratory, the new power laboratory in the heating plant, a new meter laboratory in electrical engineering and a large capacity test- ing machine in the materials laboratory, which renders this laboratory unsur- passed west of the Mississippi. With these has come an increased registration. The revised curriculum, in addition to the regular courses in civil, electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineering, includes courses in commercial engineer- ing, public utilities, areonautics, city planning, and industrial engineering. The College, situated at the center of the industrial half of Iowa, will continue to grow. HAYSE H. BLACK FOKD LOVFLAND RAMON T, JESSEN THEOPORE B. MACDQUGAL Twenty-three

. 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.

rjae 3 PERCY BORDWELL Acting Dean The College of Law c ' HE Law School was organized at the Univer- sity of Iowa in December, 1865. It was founded by Judges Wright and Cole of the Iowa Supreme Court. Before the first year had closed there was added to the faculty William G. Hammond, best known by his later title of Chancellor. In 1868 the school was moved to Iowa City and be- came the law department of the State University. Chancellor Hammond became one of the foremost legal scholars of his time and with Judge Wright was active in the early work of the American Bar Association of which Judge Wright was the tenth president. Forever linked with the name of Chancellor Hammond will be that of his successor and former pupil, Emlin McClain, who, after a long service as chancellor, served two terms on the Supreme Court bench and then served the school the last year of his life, 1914-lf), as dean. The primary purpose of the law school is to train students so that they will be given the right start towards the highest in service and honor that the legal profession affords. Whatever may have been true in the past the man who waits to get his law until he is admitted to the bar is not now likely to become much of a lawyer. A purpose secondary only to that of the training of students is scholarly productivity. With our forty-eight states each with a law of its own, ihe law is chaotic and only great labor on the part of law faculties will bring order. A third purpose of the law school is cooperation with the Bench and Bar in the. solution of many other legal problems that confront the profession. fc d FKA.NCIS J. MACLAUOHLIN F.
