ANDERSON School of Dentistry school of law Since its founding in l899, the University of Washington School of Law has achieved importance as a fine school for excellent preparation toward passing a state bar examination. It is a member of the Association of Ameri- can Law Schools, and is approved by the Council on Legal Education and Admission to the Bar of the Ameri- can Bar Association. The school prepares students for practice in any state or iurisdiction where the Anglo- American legal system prevails. Particular attention is given to the statutes, the special doctrines, and the rules of practice that apply in the State of Washington. A faculty of sixteen professors and eleven lectureers, as well as ten practicing iudges, instruct this growing school. Containing l23,000 volumes, the Law Library is the tenth largest law school library in the United States and the largest west of the Mississippi. The School of Law is con- venient to federal and state courts sitting in Seattle, and students can witness the trial of actual cases. school of dentistry The School of Dentistry is a comparatively new school on the campus, as it began instruction in October, l946. In January, 1949, the school moved to its present location in the new Division of Health Sciences building where clinical and didactic instruction is being given in all phases of dentistry. The School of Dentistry is approved by the Council on Dental Edu- cation of the American Dental Association and by the American Association of Dental Schools. The obiective of the school is to prepare a selected group of students for the practice of dentistry by using the best educational techniques in this field. A typical predental student chooses electives, in addition to his dental courses, with the aim of broadening his background in hu- man relationships and understanding. Student achievement is closely evaluated, thus promotion is determined by commendable fitness on the part of the student. Actual admission to the practice of dentitstry in any state is conditional upon the candidate's meet- ing the requirements ofthe state board of dental examiners and passing the state dental examinations.
