the care of the chair and its attachments. The time of each student's clinic is so arranged that there is no conflicting of operating hours-a second-year and a third-year student being assigned the same chair. The operating room is well lighted, supplied with instrument lockers, white enameled operating stands, sterilizers and with every convenience for the student. The clinic is always well supplied with patients, and so varied are the demands of these that the student has ample opportunity for practice in all branches of dentistry.

The prosthetic laboratories are complete in every detail. Each student is assigned a bench and a locker for his vulcanizer. At his disposal there is a generous supply of plaster of paris, etc., and for his use are lathes, furnaces of all kinds, a forge, rolling mill, etc. A special laboratory and complete equipment is provided for the study of Dental Porcelain, where modern methods of teaching this branch of dental science are fully demonstrated.

A special room is fitted up for the purpose of impression taking.

The extracting and surgical room is equipped with a full complement of instruments for all cases of extraction and for such operations as come under the head of Oral Surgery.

Additional space has been provided for the department of Surgery and Extracting, one room with its complement of extracting instruments and accessories being devoted exclusively to this branch of Oral Surgery.

The surgical clinical rooms are four in number, consisting of a dark room for diagnosis by transillumination, a preparatory room, a retiring and instrument room, and a large, well lighted operating room. This department is thoroughly equipped and offers special opportunity to the students for observing and assisting in surgical operations.

The clinical material is abundant and the student is afforded ample opportunity of becoming a skilled extractor. The surgical clinic is also very large and replete with interesting cases, and a great variety of operations are performed in the presence of the students; the more serious operations are performed in the new University Hospital, adjoining the College building.

Demonstrations of the treatment of pathological conditions of the teeth and mouth; local anaesthesia, and all other features of the course in Dental Pathology and Therapeutics are demonstrated clinically in conjunction with the didactic course, in the Infirmary.

In connection with the infirmary, there has been established an X-ray laboratory, which offers an exceptional opportunity for the student to learn the value of the X-ray in dental diagnosis.

The clinic provides many surgical, orthodontic and operative cases. Each student is provided with a locker for general use and is required to provide himself with new white coats to be worn during the time spent in the infirmary.

ADMISSION

Requirements for Admission

Applicants for admission to the College of Dentistry must be at least sixteen years of age, must give satisfactory references concerning moral character, and must, by examination or by certificates which shall be satisfactory to the faculty, give evidence of proficiency in the work of an acceptable four-year high school course-that is, 45 units of preparatory work distributed as follows:

Physics (subject 11) or Chemistry (subject 12b)

Electives (which may include not to exceed 9 units chosen from subjects 18-21 or from high school subjects not listed by the University)

Total

3 units

42 units

45 units

Credit for these 45 units must be obtained either by examination or by diplomas and recommendations from accredited high schools in accordance with general University regulations governing examinations and recom mendations.

Any applicant who is qualified for admission to the academic colleges of the University as regular student or student at large is qualified for admission to the College of Dentistry. The degree D.D.S. is conferred only upon persons who are twenty-one years of age.

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 the Academic Colleges, to be obtained, on request, from the Recorder.

GENERAL LIST OF PREPARATORY SUBJECTS

Units of Credit. The amount of work represented both by preparatory or high school subjects and by the University courses is specified quanti tatively. In the University a unit signifies one hour per week of recitation or lecture, with preparation therefor, during one half-year. A course of study taken in the preparatory school for one year at five periods per week is valued at 3 units. Laboratory hours not requiring preparation are estimated at a lower rate than recitations and lectures.

While students are admitted to the College of Dentistry, as stated above, without specific prescription of preparatory subjects, excepting physics. or chemistry, the high school studies should, if possible, be planned in accordance with matriculation group I of the academic colleges, as follows:

The requirements for complete matriculation in the Colleges of Letters, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Commerce, and Agriculture, and in the five-year courses in the Colleges of Mechanics, Mining, Civil Engineering, and Chemistry are as follows:

The dagger indicates subjects for which equivalent courses are offered in the University. For further description of these courses reference should be made to the annual Announcement of Courses.

Subjects 6ab1, 15a1, 15b1, and 15c1 represent the minimum credit in Latin, French, German, and Spanish, respectively-one year of high school work. Such credit is ordinarily given only upon recommendation, not upon examination.

(a) English, two years, subject 1

(b) Plane Geometry, one year, subject 2

(c) Elementary Algebra, one year, subject 3

(d) History, one year, from subjects 5, 10, 13a, 13b

Applicants may include among their electives not more than 9 units from subjects 18, 19, 20, 21, or other high school subjects recommended by the principals of accredited high schools but not included in the University preparatory list.

The candidate for admission must have chosen his preparatory subjects in such a way as to have a total of 12 units of subjects designated as "advanced," including one of the following sciences, if taken with laboratory work, in classes made up of third-year or fourth-year pupils in the high school: Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, Physiology. Subjects which may be offered as advanced subjects are as follows: 4a, 4b, 5, 7, 9, 11. 12 (excluding sciences given in the first and second years of the high school), 13b, 14, 15a3, 15a', 15b3, 15b*.

Caution-The work for matriculation is so closely related to the work of the freshman and sophomore years in the University that the matric ulation electives cannot be intelligently chosen without reference to the more advanced requirements. These requirements are stated in detail in the circular of information for the Academic Departments, for wihch apply to the Recorder of the Faculties, University of California, Berkeley.

Applicants entering the Colleges of Engineering, or the College of Chemistry, or expecting to take up other courses of study (for example, certain of the courses in Agriculture) presupposing a knowledge of the elements of Physics or Chemistry, with laboratory practice (matricu lation subjects 11, 12b), should provide for this work either during the high school course or during the University summer sessions. No equiv alent for this work is offered during the regular sessions of the University.

Applicants for the College of Letters, the College of Social Sciences, or for other courses of study requiring matriculation Latin, subject 6, should notice that the University does not offer instruction in this subject either during the regular sessions or during the summer sessions.

Applicants who enter the colleges of Letters, Social Sciences, or Commerce with less than twelve units of matriculation credit for foreign language may find it necessary to complete an unusual amount of foreign language during the freshman and sophomore years.

Admission with Deficiencies-The question of admitting an applicant to the University with matriculation deficiencies is decided in each case by the Academic Senate or its committees upon the merits of the case. In general, applicants with less than forty-five units of matriculation credit are not admitted.

ADMISSION FROM CALIFORNIA STATE NORMAL SCHOOLS

By a provision of the Academic Senate, the State normal schools of California may recommend their graduates for admission without examination; but students who come from the normal schools without credit for the required matriculation work in foreign languages will be conditioned in this requirement. Any courses (e.g., French or German) taken in the University for the purpose of satisfying requirements for matriculation are credited only for matriculation, and not as a part of the 124 or more units required for the degree. Graduates of the California State normal schools who are also graduates of accredited high schools may, under certain conditions, receive advanced credit in the University amounting to forty-eight units of the sixty-four units required for the Junior Certificate. The credit so granted may, at the discretion of any University department concerned, be accepted as satisfying prerequisites for advanced or major work. A form of recommendation for admission to the University from the State normal schools will be furnished by the Recorder of the Faculties upon application.

ADMISSION FROM SCHOOLS OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA Students desiring to matriculate from states other than California will be accepted upon presenting an admission certificate from any of the dental schools holding membership in the Dental Faculties Association of American Universities.
