HISTORY OF ORGANIZATION.

In compliance with a recommendation from the Medical Faculty of the University, submitted May 28, 1881, the Board of Regents, by act of September 7, 1881, organized the College of Dentistry as an integral part of the University of California.

The College was 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. Beginning with the session of 1891, the College will occupy spacious quarters of its own in the new building at the corner of Market and Taylor Streets, San Francisco.

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 on the Pacific Coast, the needed preparation for the responsibilities of its practice.

CALENDAR AND DIRECTORY.

The matriculation examination for the season of 1891 was held about February 1.

The session of 1891 begins April 6, and closes December 31.

There is a vacation of two or three weeks, during the summer.

The annual Commencement, for conferring the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery, is held early in November, in San Francisco.

The Didactic Lectures and Dental Clinics are held in the College building, 18 Taylor Street, San Francisco.

The Medical and Surgical Clinics are held at the City and County Hospital, Twenty-second Street and Potrero Avenue, San Francisco.

The office of the Dean is at 500 Sutter Street, San Francisco.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.

The following courses are prescribed to all candidates for the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery:

I. Principles and Practice of Operative Dentistry and Dental Histology. Intra-uterine and extra-uterine development of the teeth and maxillae, both temporary and permanent, with a consideration of the histological elements of the tissues whence the teeth are developed. Chemical and physical properties of the teeth. Dental anatomy, topographical, histological and comparative. Technology of the teeth, and the nomenclature of their surfaces. Methods of extracting the teeth; ancient and modern instruments compared; casualties liable to result, and the best means of meeting the exigencies of each case. Diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of dental caries. Demonstrations in the use of instruments for the mechanical and surgical treatment of diseases of the teeth. Dental hygiene, ethics and jurisprudence. Seventy lectures; Mondays and Fridays, at 5 P. M. Professor DUNBAR and Dr. CARLTON.

II. Mechanical Dentistry: Lectures. Junior Course. Treatment of the mouth and teeth preparatory to inserting artificial dentures; impressions in wax and plaster; casts; the manufacture of artificial teeth, their selection and arrangement for special cases; application of atmospheric pressure to artificial dentures; properties and uses, in the construction of dentures, of wax, plaster, shellac, sandarach, rubber and celluloid.

Senior Course. Lectures on the construction of instruments, of dies and counter-dies, of models of the mouth and of molds; construction of dentures on bases of gold, silver, and aluminum; continuous-gum work. Each student is required to deposit in the Museum specimens of artificial dentures constructed by himself in the dental laboratory. Seventy lectures; Tuesdays and Thursdays, at 4 P. M. Dr. BOXTON.

III. Operative Dentistry: Clinics. Patients applying for treatment of the teeth or associate parts, or for operations upon them, are assigned to students in turn, who, with the assistance of demonstrators, are required to perform all the different operations of filling and extracting teeth, to treat mechanically, surgically and therapeutically the various diseases of the teeth, and to learn the use of the various appliances and materials employed in such operations. Seventy clinics; Wednesdays and Fridays, from 9 A. M. to 11 A. M.; Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 9 A. M. to 12 м., and 2 to 4 P. M. Drs. CARLTON, LANE and SHORT.

IV. Mechanical Dentistry: Clinics. Patients applying for artificial dentures are assigned to the students in turn, who, with the assistance of demonstrators, are required to perform all the operations preparatory to and in completion of the construction of artificial dentures. This work affords practical exercise in the management of patients, in the selection of suitable materials for different cases, in working plaster, wax, molding-sands, zinc, lead, silver and aluminum, in alloying and refining gold, and in making continuous-gum dentures on platinum. Each Freshman and Junior student is required to construct a number of dentures in rubber or celluloid; and each Senior a sufficient number on metallic bases to establish his ability to use the metals for this purpose. Seventy clinics; Mondays and Fridays, from 12 M. to 4 P. M.; Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 12 M. to 3 P. M. Drs. HACKETT and POST.

V. Dental Pathology and Therapeutics: Lectures. General Pathology, in which are discussed the general aspects and causes of disease, its symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis, the pathology of anæsthetics, etc. Special Pathology, in which a critical examination is made into the special cause of dental decay, as manifested in the various diseases peculiar to the teeth and mouth. Neuralgia and other nervous affections receive such attention as their importance demands. Thirty-five lectures, Tuesdays, at 5 P. M.; and thirty-five clinics, Mondays, at 9 A. M. Professor SULLIVAN.

VI. Orthodontia and Dental Metallurgy. The correction of irregularities of the natural teeth, as well as the causes, will be treated at length and illustrated by means of drawings and numerous casts of practical cases. Much more attention is paid to this subject by the profession than formerly, and an endeavor will be made to keep the classes posted in regard to all new and valuable methods.

The instruction in Dental Metallurgy, including the properties and uses of gold, silver, platinum, aluminum, zinc, lead, tin, and their alloys, and of iron and steel, will be made more complete than heretofore. Special attention will be paid to refining and alloying gold, and to estimating its fineness. Practical laboratory instruction will be given in working of the metals, and each student will be required to conduct all the usual operations in dental metallurgy, as well as to make experiments in new compounds and alloys. Considerable attention will be paid to the analysis and compounding of amalgam alloys. Thirty-five lectures and demonstrations; Wednesdays, from 4 to 6 P. M. fessor GODDARD.

Pro

VII. Histology and Pathology. A special course of ten or fifteen lectures on Embryology and Pathology, embracing a comparative study of blood corpuscles. The lectures on Embryology will be illustrated by a full series of the developing chicks and other embryos, showing the development of the blastoderm and products of the epiblast, including the development of the skin, mucous membrane, hair, nails, horns, and the enamel organ. The products of the mesoblast, including the development of bone, dentine and cement; also a comparative study of the development of the teeth; and a comparative study of their anatomy. The lectures on Pathology will embrace the following subjects: Lesions of the dental pulp, including tissues developed thereby; Secondary dentine, pulp nodules, and a full series of lesions found in the tusks of elephants. General Bacteriology, including a series of photo-micrographs of the micro-organisms most commonly found in the mouth. Decay of the teeth, with photo-micrographs of the bacteria, found in natural and artificial decay. Oral tumors. These lectures will be delivered in the evening, and illustrated by the oxy-hydrogen lantern. This course will be open to all the students of the College, and to friends invited by the Faculty. For the Senior Class, Professor SUDDUTH will give three days of each week, during his stay of six weeks, to a practical course in microscopic technic, including the preparation and mounting of specimens for the microscope. For this course the Faculty has imported from Europe fifteen microscopes, and all the necessary accessories. Dr. SUDDUTH.

VIII. Anatomy. The lectures are illustrated by the cadaver, by both wet and dry preparations and by models, manikins and drawings; they include general,

special, and topographical anatomy. The dissecting-room is open throughout the year, under the superintendence of the Professor of Anatomy and the Demonstrator of Anatomy. A supply of material is always provided at small cost. The course includes a series of dissections by each student. When the dissections are conducted in a diligent manner, the student receives a certificate stating the amount and part dissected. Sixty-four lectures; Mondays and Fridays, at 4 P. M. Extra lectures on Wednesdays, at 4 P. M. Professor LEWITT and Dr. WILLIAMSON.

IX. Physiology and Microscopy. General and special physiology, with attention to the most recent developments in the subject, illustrated by a complete series of colored drawings, prepared exclusively for these lectures.
