operations necessary to putting the oral cavity in good condition, is supplemented by didactic instruction in this subject during the third year.

Pursuant to this plan a new type of equipment has been purchased with the view of individualizing the student's activities. The S. S. White Unit with electric motors is supplied, rather than the former type of fountain cuspidor and the foot engine. Individual operating cabinets designed especially for this school, large enough to contain all operating equipment and accessories and providing full working table space, are used instead of instrument cases and stands. The student is thus provided with the facilities for all operative work in a given location without being obliged to distribute his equipment in different parts of the building for safe keeping. Unquestionably this policy will enable the student to use his time to greater advantage.

Similarly the prosthetic laboratory is equipped with individual types of laboratory benches to facilitate laboratory work as well as to provide ample space for prosthetic equipment and a means of efficiently and securely storing it in the briefest time possible. Both the operating cabinets and the laboratory benches are designed after the types used in dental offices today; thus the student becomes familiar with office equipment before graduation.

Forty new units, modern dental chairs, and operating cabinets have been added to the present infirmary equipment, which will provide ample teaching facilities for some time to come. The installation of this equipment means a saving of approximately $50 to each student; in order to keep this equipment in good order, a rental and depreciation fee of $5 will be charged to each student.

The facilities for teaching prosthetic dentistry and dental porcelain have been materially improved, providing better equipment and light in both the laboratories and infirmary.

In the departments of oral surgery and dental pathology, in addition to the well equipped extracting and radiographic rooms, there has been provided a research laboratory for investigating the general problems presented in these two important departments.

Radiography and photography, including motion pictures, of special value in all teaching, are being developed to meet the demands made upon these special fields of science by all the departments.

Clinical practice in orthodontics is required so that the student may learn to observe personally the results of this practice. Local anesthesia in all its phases, including conductive and infiltrative, is likewise required. In fact, each department demands that clinical work of a satisfactory character shall be expected of each student qualifying for a degree.

Clinical material of every variety is abundant, the school being unable to care for all the cases that present themselves for treatment, and this affords ample opportunity for student practice in all branches of dentistry.

Students must provide themselves with white dental operating smocks of an approved type before being permitted to operate in the infirmary, and with duck or linen dusters for laboratory use.

ADMISSION

The requirements for admission to the College of Dentistry are identical with the requirements for admission to the academic departments of the University. Intending students of dentistry are advised to include in their high school programmes one year of physics, one year of chemistry, one year of zoology, and manual training.

ADMISSION FROM ACCREDITED SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA

A graduate of a California high school may enter the University of California without examination provided the following requirements be satisfied:

1. The school must have been accredited by the University of California.

2. The applicant must have completed a four-year high school course, aggregating at least 15 standard units of preparatory work (the equivalent of 45 units by the scale heretofore used), and he must be duly certified as a graduate of the school.

3. The candidate must be recommended for admission to the University of California according to the following form:

I certify that..

School,

was graduated from the 19........, after an

attendance at said school of not less than one school-year* immediately preceding graduation. I believe that the candidate is fitted to undertake college work, with reasonable prospect of success, for the following reasons: (1) that he (or she) possesses, in my judgment, the needful ability, character, and seriousness of purpose; and (2) that he (or she) has completed with a satisfactory scholarship record the preparatory subjects listed below: (list of subjects follows).

(Signed).

Principal of High School.

*If, however, candidate has completed all of his high school work in accredited institutions, and if the principals of these several schools unite in recommending him, the usual requirement that the candidate must have spent his senior year in the school from which he is graduated may be set aside.

In recommending graduates for admission to the University, the principals of accredited schools should use Recommendation Form A, with application for admission attached. Copies of this form are supplied by the University to the principals of all accredited schools in California.

The accrediting of a secondary school is regulated by an order of the Regents of the University passed March 4, 1884, and amended September 10, 1895, and January 10, 1905. Principals' applications for the accrediting of their schools must be in the hands of the Recorder of the Faculties at Berkeley on or before the first day of December of each school year. The list of accredited schools is published by the University annually, in the month of June or July. Blank forms of application for accrediting, and lists of accredited schools, may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties.

Caution. Candidates recommended in accordance with the foregoing provisions are admitted to the University and enrolled in the curricula of their choice. It will be seen, however, that some of these curricula cannot be completed in the University in the normal period (four years for the degree A.B. or B.S.) unless the candidate during his high school course has completed such specific prerequisites as may underlie the University work. A list of the curricula, with a statement of the preparatory work required and recommended, is given hereunder.

ADMISSION FROM APPROVED HIGH SCHOOLS IN OTHER STATES Applicants from secondary schools outside of California are required to meet the same standards as applicants who enter from secondary schools in California. The committee in charge of admissions must have evidence of the following facts: that the school has an approved standing at universities or colleges of acknowledged rank; that the applicant has been graduated from a four-year course of not less than fifteen standard secondary units; and that the applicant has maintained an average scholarship standing well above the mark required by the school for promotion or graduation. The candidate may be certified by his principal upon the Principal's Recommendation, Form B. Copies of this form will be sent by the Recorder either to high school principals or to candidates for admission.

Caution. Candidates recommended in accordance with the foregoing provisions are admitted to the University and enrolled in the curricula of their choice. It will be seen, however, that some of these curricula cannot be completed in the University in the normal period (four years for the degree A.B. or B.S.) unless the candidate during his high school course has completed such specific prerequisites as may underlie the University work. A list of the curricula, with a statement of the preparatory work required and recommended, is given hereunder.

Applicants from states other than California will also be accepted upon presenting an admission certificate from any of the dental schools

holding membership in the Dental Faculties Association of American Universities.

The schools holding membership in this association are: Harvard University Dental School, University of Pennsylvania School of Dentistry, University of Michigan School of Dentistry, University of Iowa School of Dentistry, University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, University of California College of Dentistry, Washington University Dental School, University of Illinois College of Dentistry, and Ohio State University College of Dentistry, Tufts College Dental School, University of Nebraska College of Dentistry.

Students may be admitted to advanced standing from other dental schools, medical schools, or universities (1) upon presenting a certificate issued by the Committee on Credentials at Berkeley showing that the applicant has had scholastic preparation equivalent to that demanded for admission to the University of California; and (2) on presenting credentials for the work of college grade, which must be approved by the faculty of the College of Dentistry. Time credit will be based wholly on subject credit. Examinations in all subjects may be required by the faculty.

ADMISSION BY EXAMINATION

Candidates who are unable to present satisfactory school certificates may be admitted to the University by passing examinations in the preparatory subjects constituting a standard high school course. The subjects to be presented must be arranged in advance with the University. The subjects to be required by the University will depend upon the applicant's high school training, his age, and his proposed course of study in the University. The applicant must pass examinations in at least fifteen standard high school units.

Applications for admission should be made at the office of the Recorder of the Faculties, California Hall, Berkeley, California. Applications may be sent by mail. Information concerning the list of preparatory subjects, matriculation examinations, recommendations, dates for application and other matters is contained in the Circular of Information concerning the Academic Departments to be obtained, on request, from the Recorder of the Faculties.

SUMMER SESSION COURSES

At present there is opportunity during the Summer Session for students to do systematic work in certain high school subjects including elementary chemistry, physics, mathematics, drawing and foreign languages. Further information will be found in the announcement of the Summer Session, published annually in April, to be obtained from and Dean of the Summer Session, 105 California Hall, Berkeley, California.

FOUR-YEAR COURSE

Beginning with the session of 1917-18, the course of study was changed from three years of thirty-two weeks each to four years of thirty-two weeks each. The calendar as arranged for 1920-21 affords opportunity for student employment during the vacation period, when the demand for unskilled labor is the greatest. The early seasons in horticulture and agriculture happily approximate the long vacation periods, so that students who are obliged to devote this time to revenue-producing labor usually have no difficulty in obtaining employment.

FIVE-YEAR COURSE

The leading dental colleges in the United States are now planning to inaugurate a five-year course beginning in the fall of 1921.

FURTHER INFORMATION

For further information concerning the preparatory subjects, matriculation examinations, admission to advanced standing and the requirements for the Bachelor's Degree refer to the Circular of Information concerning the Academic Departments, copies of which may be obtained from the Recorder of the Faculties, University of California, Berkeley, California.

FOREIGN STUDENTS

Students desiring to matriculate in this college from foreign countries will be permitted to substitute satisfactory courses in history, law, language and literature in lieu of similar preliminary requirements offered by high schools accredited to the University of California. A knowledge of English sufficient to comprehend the course of study will be required, in all cases to be determined by the official examiner.

ADMISSION TO ADVANCED GRADES ON CERTIFICATES

The college will receive into the advanced grades of second year and third year only such students as hold certificates of having passed examinations in the studies of the first-year or second-year grades respectively in a school which demands the same or higher preliminary educational requirements and maintains the same curriculum; except that a student who presents satisfactory evidence of graduation from a reputable medical college may be given such advanced standing as his previous training may justify, provided he make up the prescribed subjects in which he may be deficient.

All students who have successfully passed their examinations for advanced standing and have complied with all the rules of the College of Dentistry shall have their reports given or mailed to them within thirty days after
