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 Donohue 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 avenue and Arguello boulevard, where all the departments of the college are now conducted. 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 five professional college buildings situated on Parnassus avenue and Arguello boulevard, San Francisco, California. Since the College of Dentistry has been located in its present building there has been a slow and steady growth in student enrollment. This is attributed to the ever increasing demand for good dental service on the part of the laity, and the high educational standards of the University. In February, 1916, the Regents of the University advanced $30,000 to the College of Dentistry to provide additional infirmary and laboratory space and new equipment. In the main, very slight modifications of the present building have been made to provide better teaching facilities; the principal changes include a three-story addition to house a new type of individual equipment. Contrary to the custom adopted in many leading dental schools, the College of Dentistry of the University of California endeavors to teach in a practical way methods of office practice, so that the graduate will be equipped with such practical knowledge as will enable him to conduct an office practice successfully should he choose to establish himself immediately after graduation. The practical instruction, which includes making examinations of the mouths of patients, arranging for appointments, collecting fees, and keeping the professional and financial records, as well as performing the 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 iden tical 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 CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS NOT ACCREDITED A graduate of a California secondary school not accredited by the University who is strongly recommended by the principal of his school will be admitted upon passing the following examinations: English (2 units); U. S. History (1 unit); laboratory science (1 unit); and two of the following groups: (a) Advanced English and History (in addition to U. S. History), any 2 units. (b) Mathematics (intermediate algebra and trigonometry), 11⁄2 units. (c) Foreign languages, 3 units in one, or 2 units in each of two. (d) Additional advanced science, 2 units. 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 |
