The College Entrance Examination Board (Secretary's Office, P. O. Sub-station 84, New York City) is authorized to examine candidates for admission to the College of Dentistry, University of California, in states other than California.

HISTORY OF ORGANIZATION.

In compliance with a re-somme, dation from the Medical Faculty of the University, submitted May 8. 1881, the Regents, by an Act of September 7, 1881, organized 11 » College of Dentistry as an integral part of the University of 'ifornia.

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 from 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 Colleges of Dentistry provides, at the least expense to candidates, the needed preparation for the responsibilities of its practice.

LOCATION.

The College of Dentistry occupies the most eastern of the four professional college buildings situated 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, orthodontia, 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 recently equipped with the latest model 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 oppportunity for practice in all branches of dentistry.

At

The prosthetic laboratories are complete in every detail. Each student is assigned a bench and a locker for his vulcanizer. 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 com- . plement 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 trans-illumination, 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.

An operating room especially equipped for the treatment of cases of malocclusion exclusively gives an opportunity of pursuing this line of work free from the outside influences of the large general operating room. All cases are conducted under the immediate supervision of demonstrators.

This room is also used as a clinic room for practical demonstrations of the treatment of pathological conditions of the teeth and mouth; light therapy, local anaesthesia, the use of compressed air and all other features of the course in Dental Pathology and Therapeutics are demonstrated clinically in conjunction with the didactic course.

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.
