College of Dentistry HE profession of dentistry offers to bright young men and women one of the most pleasant, as well as profitable vocations, and as now practiced is divided into a number of specialties, all of which are intensely inter- esting and sufliciently broad to require all the skill and knowledge one possesses. They are so diversified that one may choose that to which his skill is best suited. The recent awakening of the medical profession, as well as the public at large, to the importance of oral hygiene has created a great demand for dental services, and there are not sufficient dentists to give the proper prophylactic or preventive treatment, to say nothing of the restoring of the losses caused by decay or extraction. ' Many of the scientific problems confronting the profession are still unsolved, and there is a wonderful field for scientific research. Mechanical or reparative features of the profession possess and demand a great deal of ingenuity and manipulative dexterity. The College of Dentistry, University of Southern California, now in the eighteenth year of its existence, has one of the best teaching faculties in the United States. Its scientific, as well as mechanical, laboratories and infirmary are completely equipped in every respect, and we are prepared to teach the latest and best methods of treatment and mechanical procedure. The new dental college building, which the Board of Trustees propose to erect during thc coming summer, will be occupied exclusively by the Department of Dentistry and will have three times the amount of Hoor space we now occupy, and contain all the latest improvements and conveniences for the teaching of modern dentistry. This department will then be amply able to take care of its greatly increasing enrollment. The location at Sixteenth and Los Angeles Streets is in the direct line of the growth of the city and is close to the College of Medicine and Polytechnic High School, where the social intercourse amongst this great number of students is sure to be most pleasant.

College of Pharmacy HE Pharmacist must be a man trained in clear, concise methods of thought. His education is not conferred upon himg it is self-wrought. A college course assists in formulating scientific knowledge and develop- ing technical skill. Pharmacy has made great progress in recent years, the commercial side having been almost revolutionized, while the professional side has made rapid advance- ment. The future Pharmacist, to meet the new standard, must be a man of rigorous professional training. His education must fit him for greater services to humanity-in compounding prescriptions, in the testing of milk and food sup- plies, in chemical and bacteriological tests for the physician, in technical services to the manufacturing industries and in dispensing general information to the public. His field surely is one of great responsibilities and possibilities. It is a well known and established fact that a university's professional schools are its most valuable asset and mark the advancement of the univer- sity's achievements. LAIRD J.
