HISTORY In compliance with a recommendation from the Medical Faculty of the University, submitted May 28, 1881, the Regents, by an Act of September 7, 1881, organized the College of Dentistry as an integral part of the University of California. The College was originally given accommodations in the Medical Hall of the University, and through the generous offer of the Medical Faculty provision was made for lecture and clinic room. From 1891 to 1906 it occupied quarters in the Donohoe Building, at the corner of Market and Taylor streets, San Francisco, where the infirmary was located until 1906. In 1906 the infirmary was removed to the College building on Parnassus and First avenues, where all the departments of the College are now conducted, and all departments have been newly and fully equipped by an appropriation of the State Legislature to the University of California for that purpose. The progress of Dentistry in recent times has given it rank among the liberal professions, and the permanent establishment of the College of Dentistry provides, at the least expense to candidates, the needed preparation for the responsibilities of its practice. LOCATION AND EQUIPMENT The College of Dentistry occupies the most eastern of the four professional college buildings situate on Parnassus and First avenues, San Francisco, California. On the ground floor are the chemical and metallurgical laboratories, students' room, lockers, lavatories, furnace room and lunch room. On the first floor are the operating, extracting, surgical, radiograph, photographic and waiting rooms, prosthetic laboratories, porcelain room and administrative offices. On the second floor are the bacteriological, pathological, physiological and histological laboratories, all splendidly equipped with every convenience for practical work; a large laboratory for dental technics and a study room furnished with lockers for the use of women students. On the third and top floor is a commodious, well ventilated lecture hall, a smaller class room, the museum and library. The operating rooms have been equipped with Columbia and Wilkerson dental chairs and Clark fountain cuspidors. When necessary two students are assigned to a chair and are held personally responsible for 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, orthodontia 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 Students will be matriculated in the College of Dentistry on any acceptable four-year high school course-that is, 45 units of preparatory work selected freely by the applicant from the general list of preparatory subjects of the University of California, except that not more than nine units may be presented from subjects 18-21, or other high school subjects not included in the general list of preparatory subjects below. 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 recommendations. 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. Physics or Chemistry Required, August, 1913, and Thereafter Beginning August, 1913, the applicant's matriculation record must include credit for physics, subject 11, or chemistry, subject 12b, or an equivalent. 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: * Subject A will hereafter not be required for matriculation, but will be required for junior standing in all the colleges at Berkeley. An examination in this subject will be given shortly before the close of each half-year. Every intrant admitted to regular frst-year or second-year standing is required to take an examination in Subject A before the close of his first half-year's work; failure to take the examination in Subject A at the time required, or failure to pass, has the same effect upon the student's standing as a failure to pass in an ordinary course. 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.

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 United States History and Government, and 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 matriculation 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 (matriculation subjects 11, 12b), should provide for this work either during the |
