flue eollege of ibentiotry o the niveroity of cnelsraoka In 1899, in a successful effort to raise the dentists' preparation for the profession above the level of mere apprenticeship dentistry, the late Dr. W. Clyde Davis organized a select class of men and the Lincoln Dental College came into existence. A three-year course, embracing the study of basic sciences as well as clinical dentistry, was offered. The College, with Dr. Davis sewing as dean, was located at 15th and O Streets in Lincoln. In 1904 this college became associated with the University of Nebraska as the School of Dentistry. lt was later moved to the Varsity Building and in 1919 was desig- nated a College of Dentistry by the State Legislature. With the end of World War I the curriculum was changed to four years and degrees of Doctor of Dental Surgery, Bachelor of Science, and Master of Science were offered. ln 1922, with the resignation of Dr. Davis, the late Dr. George A. Grubb became the dean of the college, serving in this capacity to 1938, when he resigned. It was in 1938 that the college was moved from the Varsity Building at 13th and P Streets to its present site in Andrews Hall. .In 1939 the college began its present expansion program with its new dean, Dr. B. L. Hooper. New courses, equipment, and staff were added and the college began its swift climb in the leadership of dental education. Dur- ing World War Il the college served as a training facility in the Naval V-12 program and the Army Specialized Training Program. The present head of the College is a man highly accompanished and widely acclaimed in the profession. Dr. B. L. Hooper, dean since 1939, is a dental educator, author, lecturer, inventor, and research investigator of in- temational repute. He served as Chairman of the Department of Prosthetics from 1923 to 1939, and as Chairman of the Department of Dental Science from 1939 to the present. It is under Dr. Hooper's guidance that a new and larger College of Dentistry is being planned for the very near future. .371
