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.

i school of librarianshi P Admission to the School of Librarianship is granted to grad- uate students who hold a bachelor's degree from a college or university of good standing. This degree may be taken in any major field, since students with a variety of backgrounds are needed as specialists in libraries devoted to law, medi- cine, engineering, business and other technical fields. A reading knowledge of French and German is important to the librarian students to prepare them for the various duties librarians are called upon to perform. During an undergraduate's senior year, it is also possible to gain librarianship knowledge by taking several introductory courses from the School. Although these courses are de- signed primarily for the teacher-librarian, interested students may attain an excellent preview of the Graduate School of Librarianship. 5 L 2 ,. Q9 . 'Ni 5 A ls .

YZ k.,' The University of Washington Graduate School seeks as its goal the development of intellectual independence through cultivation of the scientific, critical, and appreciative attitude of mind, and the promotion of the spirit of research. The graduate student is therefore thrown more largely upon his own resources than the undergraduate and must measure up to a more severe standard. Admission to the Graduate School is by approved applica- tion only, this applies to University of Washington graduates as well as others. To maintain a clear status rating in the School, a student is required to have a 3.0 average. Gradu- ate study is carried on in most of the University's schools in which an undergraduate may study. Administratively the Graduate School is in charge of each of these fields of fur- ther study. The University is consistently increasing the emphasis on graduate work. lt feels that the better citizens of tomorrow should be equipped with advanced training, research and scholarship. Thus the business world will be populated by persons fully capable of carrying on where others have left off.
