On the third and top floor is a commodious, well ventilated lecture hall, a smaller class room, the faculty 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 possible 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.

During the session of 1908-09 additional space was 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 competent 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.

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.

For the session of 1909-10, which begins August 17, 1909, and ends May 7, 1910, the requirements for admission will be as follows:

Each student shall present to the Dean a certificate showing as a minimum requirement his right of graduation from high school, accredited to the University of California, or a certificate from some other reputable literary school of equal standing. Should a student be unable to produce such certificate, or equivalent, he shall be examined preliminary to his entrance into the college by a State superintendent of public instruction, or his appointee. (See footnote, p. 8.)

Conditions imposed at the entrance examinations must be removed before the beginning of the following session.

The status of all undergraduate students shall be probationary during their first year in College.

Applicants desiring to register as special students will be required to indicate what subjects they desire to pursue, and present satisfactory credentials for matriculation in said subjects.

Special students will be required to attend courses they desire to pursue with the same regularity as the regular students, and will pay the regular tuition fee; no diploma or certificate shall be issued at the close of such special study.

Matriculants who desire to postpone the pursuit of their studies in the College of Dentistry after matriculation on account of sickness or other good cause to be determined by the Faculty, shall present a written application for leave of absence to the Dean, which may be allowed for a period of one year.

FOREIGN STUDENTS.

Students desiring to matriculate in this College from foreign countries will be permitted to substitute satisfactory courses in History, Law, Language, and Literature in lieu of similar preliminary requirements offered by high schools accredited to the University of California. A knowledge of English sufficient to comprehend the course of study will be required, in all cases to be determined by the official examiner.

ADMISSION TO ADVANCED GRADES ON CERTIFICATES.

The College will receive into the advanced grades of Second year and Third year only such students as hold certificates of having passed examinations in the studies of the First year or Second year grades respectively, in a school which demands the same or higher preliminary educational requirements, and maintains the same curriculum; except a student presenting satisfactory evidence of graduation from a reputable medical college, who may then be received into the second year grade, provided he make up such subjects taught in the first year as he has not previously studied. All students who have successfully passed their examinations for advanced standing and have complied with all the rules of the College of Dentistry shall have their certificates given or mailed to them within thirty days after such examinations shall have been completed, such certificates to be pledges to any college to whom the holders may apply, that the requisite number of terms have been spent in the College of Dentistry, University of California.

EXTRACTS FROM REGULATIONS.

The following are the regulations governing undergraduate attendance, except such as are given elsewhere in this Announcement.

ATTENDANCE.

Eighty per cent. of attendance will be required in all lecture and laboratory courses as well as in general attendance.

Every student is required to attend all his class exercises and to

satisfy the instructor in each of his courses of study, in such way as the instructor may determine, that he is performing the work of the course in a systematic manner.

Any instructor, with the approval of the Dean, may at any time exclude from his course any student who, in his judgment, has neglected the work of the course. Any student thus excluded shall be recorded as having failed in the course of study from which he is excluded, unless the Faculty shall otherwise determine.

EXAMINATIONS.

No student will be excused from assigned examinations.

No book, manuscript, or other source of information, shall be brought into any examination room, except by the explicit order of the examiner. Nor shall any student, in the course of an examination, have any communication with another student for any reason whatever.

Any student tardy at an examination will be debarred from taking it, unless an excuse for such tardiness entirely satisfactory to the examiner be rendered.

A fee of five dollars is charged for every special examination. Any supplementary or deferred test required by an instructor of a student for the purpose of making up a course left "incomplete" is regarded as a special examination. Students taking two or more such examinations in courses taken during any one half-year will be charged not to exceed ten (10) dollars for all such examinations, instead of being charged at the rate of five dollars for each examination.

GRADES OF SCHOLARSHIP.

The results of examinations, together with term work when a record of the latter is kept, will be ranked and reported to the Recorder in five grades. The 1st grade denotes marked excellence. The 2nd grade indicates that the student's work has been thoroughly satisfactory. The 3rd grade denotes a pass. Courses in which students have obtained a 4th grade will not be credited to them, except upon the condition of passing a reëxamination. The 5th grade indicates failure and the necessity of repeating not only the examinations of a course, but also the regular work, in accordance with these regulations. The report in case of absence from an examination, or of failure to perform any of the allotted tasks in a given course, is incomplete. Work so reported must be made up within a year.

Reëxaminations are permitted only for the purpose of removing deficiencies. Students who have received second grade or third grade in a given course are not allowed reëxaminations for the purpose of improving their grading.

CONDITIONS AND FAILURES.

For the removal of conditions, students shall have the privilege of taking the regular mid-year or annual examinations in the subjects in which they are conditioned. Examinations may be held at other times only by the special permission of the Academic Council and on payment of a fee of five dollars.

Opportunity for the removal of matriculation deficiencies is offered at the entrance examinations each year in August and in January.

Any undergraduate student who is reported as having failed in an examination, or who, after being conditioned, does not pass the reëxamination for the removal of the condition, will be required to repeat every such deficient subject with the class that next takes it; unless, on recommendation of the officer of instruction in charge, the Faculty shall permit him to review a subject in which he is thus deficient with the assistance of an acceptable private tutor.

By resolution of the Faculty, students of the first year class who have failed to remove conditions by reëxamination in August, provided such conditions or failures exceed one in number, will not be recommended for promotion.

The Faculty has endorsed the Junior Certificate plan of the University to be applied to the third-year class.

This provides that no student is eligible for Senior standing who has any conditions or failures at the beginning of the term.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE.

Prolonged leave of absence must be sought by written petition to the Dean, and the petition must specify the length of time (not more than a year) and the reason for which the leave is desired. An indefinite leave of absence will in no case be granted.

A student must apply for leave to be absent or excuse for having been absent from any college exercise other than an examination, to the officer of instruction in charge of such exercise; unless, for unavoidable cause, the student is obliged to absent himself from all college exercises for one day or several days, in which case the Dean will issue a written excuse for leave. Leave to be
