COLLEGE OF • • •Ui ' Uniiiniuuui m u i i n u i ui JnaSli mi DEAN G. fl. GRUBB Dear Seniors; To become an ideal dentist you must possess or acquire the following composite characteristics: You should have business ability sufficient to enable you to induce patients to accept your services as well as to secure commensurate fees therefore. Dental prac- tice does not offer opportunity to become rich, but to perpetuate itself it must afford a plane of living demanded by the standards of the time and in addi- tion thereto an excess which if properly invested and preserved will afford an adequate competence for old age. You should be a cultured gentleman possessing sufficient ability to meet and satisfy a wide strata of society. You must possess some of the elements of a chem- ist. You not only must possess a knowledge of the chemistry of the materials (metallurgy) with which you must deal but you must know the pharmacology and the physiological properties of the medicaments which are used. You must possess the traits of an artisan. The necessity of dealing with color shades makes an artist of you. You are a sculptor restoring — yea, in some instances improving facial contour. You are an engineer — you build bridges in which you must evaluate the stress upon the abutments and SDCtn in which in many instances the span is not the shortest distance between the abutments. find finally you must have some of the qualities of a physician. Your labors must be a health service in which not only the curative phases but also the preventive phases must be considered. Sincerely,

He was acting professor of econom- ics at Stanford University during the summer of 1922, and at the University of California at Los flngeles during the summer of 1926.

DENTRISTY The Dentistry library, with Miss Martha Hoover in charge Dental College juniors and seniors gain experience here. THE head of the Dental College was bom on a farm in Pawnee County, February 18, 1880, and remembers distinctly the blizzard of 1888. His education began in DuBois and Paw- nee City schools, con;inued with a D.D.S. acquired at the Lincoln Dental College in 1912, and was completed at the University of Nebraska in 1923 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Dr. Grubb has also the distinction of being a Fellow of the International College of Dentists. His work has involved him in many activities of the dental field, and it is to be especially noted that he has attended annual sessions of the American Dental Association for seventeen successive years, those sessions being held from Minneapolis to New Orleans, from Los flngeles to Boston. Various offices in the city of Lincoln and the state of Nebroska dental societies take up much spare time, if a busy dean of a personally supervised college and clinic can be said to have such. The Dental College of the University of Nebraska has been in its present modem quart- ers onlv since 1928. Previous to that time, it had been affiliated with Cotner College until 1904, when it became associated with the University; in this capacity it occupied downtown rented quarters, floart from training dentists for the state, the College of Dentistry gives general dental service to tne public, does x-ray work for dental practitioners, and exchange service with the Lincoln health department. Since August, 1933, the school has carried an A rating with the Dental Educational Council of America, the national rating body. One reason for this high standing is the constant increase in work required for entrance into pro- fessional work. In 1900, entrance to the three- year professional study could be made with only one year of high school work, but by 1906, the requirement was increased to four years. In 1921, one year of work in a liberal arts col- leqe was made a prerequisite. For the year 1937, two years of liberal arts will be demanded, making an advance of almost one year of school work in every six years. Through trial and tribulation, Dr. Grubb has watched the school grow and flourish. A recent survey shows graduates of the lest several years established in seventeen slates as prac- ticing dentists. A study of the personalities and abilities of his students has been both vocation and avocation for Dr. Grubb through the years, and any of his students will testify to the fact that his time has not been spent in vain; he is both critic and confidante, and a master in both capacities. His reputation is not in Nebraska alone, but throughout fh ' i Middle-west. U of N
