Oregon State System of
Higher Education
The Oregon State System of Higher Education, as organized in
1932 by the Oregon State Board of Higher Education following a survey
of higher education in Oregon by the United States Office of Education,
includes all the state-supported institutions of higher education. The
several institutions are elements in an articulated system, parts of an
integrated whole. The educational program is so organized as to dis-
tribute as widely as possible throughout the state the opportunities for
general education and to center on a particular campus specialized,
technical, and professional curricula closely related to one another.
The institutions of the Oregon State System of Higher Education
are the University of Oregon at Eugene, Oregon State College at Cor-
vallis, Portland State College at Portland, Oregon College of Education
at Monmouth, Southern Oregon College at Ashland, and Eastern Ore-
gon College at La Grande. The University of Oregon Medical School
and the University of Oregon Dental School are located in Portland.
Each of the institutions provides the general studies fundamental
to a well-rounded education. At Oregon College of Education, Southern
Oregon College, Eastern Oregon College, and Portland State College,
students who do not plan to become teachers may devote their time' to
general studies or semiprofessional work.
At the University of Oregon and Oregon State College two years
of unspecialized work in liberal arts and sciences are provided on a
parallel basis in the lower division. Major curricula, both liberal and
professional, are grouped on either campus in accordance with the dis-
tinctive functions of the respective institutions in the unified Oregon State
System of Higher Education.
An interinstitutional booklet, Your Education, which outlines the
curricula of the several institutions and contains other information con-
cerning the State System, is available. For a copy, write to Division of
Information, Oregon State Board of Higher Education, Eugene, Oregon.

General Information
Dentistry as a Career
A CAREER IN DENTISTRY offers a variety of professional opportunities for
capable young men and women. For adequate care of the dental health require-
ments of the United States, many more dentists are needed than are now practic-
ing. Capacity enrollments in all the dental schools in the country cannot satisfy
this need. With the number of dentists now being graduated each year (about
3,000), the present inadequate ratio of dentists to population in the United States
will not be improved within the foreseeable future.
The profession commands respect in the community, where the dentist serves
as a cooperating colleague of the physician. His work embraces the prevention and
cure of diseases of the oral cavity, the correction of maladjustments of the teeth,
and the repair and replacement of infected teeth; and combines the application of
basic scientific knowledge of the principles of dental and systemic medicine with
technical and manual skills.
The graduate in dentistry may choose a career in several fields. He may be-
come a general practitioner, or, with additional postgraduate training, specialize in
such branches as oral surgery, orthodontics, periodontology, public health den-
tistry, etc. There are excellent and varied opportunities for service in the Dental
Corps of the armed forces, in the Veterans Administration, and in the United
States Public Health Service. There is a growing need for dental health adminis-
trators, for service in school and industrial health programs. One of the most
urgent needs in dental education today is for dental research scientists. There is
also a shortage of qualified dental educators to serve full time on the faculties of
the dental schools of the country.
In addition to the requisite knowledge and skills, success in the dental profes-
sion requires a number of essential personal qualities. Some of these are: (1) will-
ingness and ability to support high cultural, ethical, and moral values; (2) a liking
for people and for unselfish social service; (3) understanding of human and public
relations; (4) administration and business ability; (5) a broad understanding of
the scoio-economic goals of the community and nation, especially as these relate to
the health of the American people.
The Dental School Program
NO COURSE OF INSTRUCTION can serve as a substitute for intelligence and
the will to learn. A well-planned and well-taught curriculum can, however, provide
favorable conditions for the most effective development of the student's native
abilities. The content, sequence, and methods of instruction can implement the
application of intelligence and encourage the desire to learn. This is the basic
educational philosophy on which the course of study at the University of Oregon
Dental School has been built.
The four-year undergraduate curriculum is planned as an unbroken, integrated
educational experience, combining throughout work in the lecture room, the labor-
atory, and the clinic. The student comes in contact with patients early in his first
year; he performs oral prophylaxis and assists advanced students in the simpler
procedures of clinical practice, and, by the end of the first year, constructs a full
. denture for a clinic patient under close faculty supervision. The second-year pro-
gram includes an increasing amount of clinical work. On the other hand, the basic
[ 15 ]
16 GENERAL INFORMATION
scientific and technical studies, which have been traditionally concentrated in the
so-called "preclinical" years, are placed strategically through the four years of the
curriculum in close relation to the diagnostic and clinical application of the basic
principles learned.
In the third and fourth years, intensive practice of specialized therapeutic tech-
nics in the departmental clinics is supplemented by work in the general clinic,
where each student is responsible, under supervision, for the diagnosis and treat-
ment of the entire oral health problem of a patient.
The program of the Dental School includes at present: (1) the undergraduate
curriculum for the training of capable practitioners of general dentistry, leading to
the degree of Doctor of Dental Medicine; (2) postgraduate courses to help
graduate dentists keep abreast with the new concepts and skills of the progressing
science of dentistry; (3) graduate programs in bacteriology, biochemistry, an-
atomy, oral pathology, pedodontics, and physiology, leading to the Master of
Science degree; graduate courses are also offered in the fields of dental materials
and public health; (4) a two-year program for the training of dental hygienists,
(see page 59). The Dental School is developing, in addition, a program of spe-
dalized advanced study and research in dentistry, as a part of its program of the
graduate study. .
History of the Dental School
THE UNIVERSITY OR OREGON DENTAL SCHOOL was established
through an act of the 1945 Oregon Legislature, which accepted the gift of the prop-
erty of the North Pacific College of Oregon, located in Portland, and incorporated
the college into the Oregon State System of Higher Education.
The Nor~h Pacific College of Oregon was the outgrowth of a merger in 1900
of the North Pacific Dental College (founded in 1893 as the Tacoma College of
Dental Surgery) and the Oregon College of Dentistry (founded in 1898). The
Tacoma School had moved to Portland from Tacoma, Washington in 1899.
In 1908 the scope of the college was expanded to include a curriculum in
pharmacy; this was discontinued in 1941. In 1924 a new charter, granted by the
state of Oregon, made the institution a public trust, administered by a board of
trustees.
For many years, the late Dr. Herbert C. Miller, serving variously as president
of the board of trustees and dean, played a leading role in the growth and develop-
ment of the college.
A two-year curriculum in dental hygiene was established in 1949. A graduate
program leading to the M.S. degree was initiated in 1954.
Until 1956 the Dental School was housed in a building at Northeast Sixth
Avenue and Oregon Street, erected for the North Pacific College in 1910. In the
summer of 1956 the school moved into a new $2,200,000 building on the campus
of the University of Oregon Medical Schoo!'
Facilities
THE NEW DENTAL SCHOOL BUILDING is a reinforced concrete and steel
structure of modern design, with approximately 130,000 square feet of floor space.
It will accommodate 80 undergraduate dental students and 20 dental hygiene stu-
dents for each class, in addition to graduate and postgraduate students.
The floor levels are as .follows: Basement~cafeteria. Ground fioor--dental
hygiene, postgraduate division, orthodontic and pedodontic graduate departments,

rently receives more than 180 periodicals. The books and periodicals are arranged
on freely accessible open shelves.
Dental School students also have the privilege of borrowing books and period-
icals from the University of Oregon Medical School Library. All of the books in
the several libraries of the Oregon State System of Higher Education are avail-
able through interlibrary loan.
The Dental School Library provides a reference and lending service for den-
tists in the Pacific Northwest area.
The Library receives many valuable gifts of books and periodicals from
alumni and friends of the school. These include useful current materials as well as
valuable older publications. An historical collection includes the library of Dr. J. R.
Cardwell, a pioneer dentist who settled in Oregon in 1852.
Dental Student Store
THE DENTAL SCHOOL operates a book and supplies store, on a nonprofit
basis, for the convenience of students. The selling price of all items is cost plus
a small mark up to pay for current operating costs.
(1) All items are sold for cash. Students should foresee their needs and make
financial arrangements as needed, through earnings, school loans, or through pri-
vate financing.
(2) Term supplies as shown on supply lists must be purchased at the be-
ginning of the term, and must be paid for at the time of payment of fees.
(3) The store is open for the purchase of supplies on an announced schedule

service charge for all overdue emergeney loans is 50 cents a month until paid in full.
STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE 19
(3) The interest rate for long-term loans is 4 per cent per year.
(4) Long-term loans are limited to $600.00 to any individual student.
(5) It is the policy of the Dental School to encourage repayment of loans as soon as the
borrower is able to pay. The maximum loan period is two years, with the privilege of renewal if
the borrower has in every way proved himself worthly of this consideration. Payment of loans
in monthly installments as soon as possible after graduation is encouraged. The interest on re~
newed loans is 4 per cent per year if the borrower is still a student at the Dental School; the rate
of interest on renewals made after the student leaves the Dental School is 6 per cent.
(6) The Dental School does not aecept various forms of collateral which most money
lenders require for the security of loans. The only security accepted is the signature of two
responsible property owners as well as that of the student borrower. The co-signers must submit
evidence of their ability to pay the note by filing a financial statement or by giving bank refer-
ences. One co-signer must qualify by bank reference. It is desirable that one of the co-signers
be the parent or guardian of the borrower. If a student is married, his or her spouse must also
sign the loan application and note.
(7) The signature of the borrower isthe only security required for an emergency loan.
(8) In considering applications) the following personal qualities of the student will weigh
heavily in the minds of the members of the Lonn Fund Committee: (a) scholastic record; (b)
reputation for reliability, honesty J and industry; (c) need for aid and probability of wise ex-
penditure; (d) amount of present indebtedness; (e) ability to repay; (f) effort which the student
has made to assist himself.

able to dental students having a grade-point average of 2_00 or better. Loans are
limited to a period of sixty days. Application should be made to the Business Office_
Ben Selling Loan Fund. This fund, a bequest from the late Mr. Ben Selling,
is administered through his son, Dr. Laurence Selling. Applications for loans
should be made through the Business Office of the Dental School.
Student Health Service
BEFORE MATRICULATION all applicants for admission are required to
obtain from their physician an initial report of physical examination, including
immunization and laboratory studies.
The Student Health Service provides physical examinations, diagnostic serv-
ice, and emergency care for Dental School students. The service does not include
medical or surgical treatment beyond diagnosis and emergency attention.
Nursing and first aid are provided during school hours by members of the
Dental School staff.
The service includes intra-oral X-ray and chest examination and X-ray. An
annual chest X-ray is required for all students. Any student may obtain a free
physical examination on application at the Health Service. The school may require
a student to take a physical examination at any time.

Admission and Requirements
Admission
IN SELECTING DENTAL STUDENT CANDIDATES, the Admissions
Committee takes into account the following factors: (1) satisfactory completion
of minimum predental course requirements; (2) college grades; (3) aptitude-test
results from both the American Dental Association test and the Dental School
aptitude test; (4) personal factors revealed in interviews and by letters of recom-
mendation; (5) geographical consideration (the Dental School recognizes that
its primary obligation is to provide an opportunity for dental education for resi-
dents of Oregon and, to a lesser extent, for residents of the Pacific Northwest;
only a limited number of applicants are accepted from other areas of the United
States and from foreign countries) ; (6) the applicant's affiliations or close asso-
ciation with the dental profession; (7) the amount of college work completed;
(8) veteran status.
Applicants for admission are required: (1) to participate in a two-day
orientation and aptitude-testing program administered by the Dental School in
Portland, and (2) to take an aptutude test administered by the Council on Dental
Education of the American Dental Association or a college-transfer test ad-
ministered by the Educational Testing Service. The E.T.S. test may be sub-
stituted for the A.D.A. test only with the approval of the Admissions Committee.
Because of the expense of the Dental School's orientation-aptitude program
for students coming from a distance, the Admissions Committee will advise appli-
cants whose acceptance is improbable on the basis of factors (1), (2), or (5) above
not to come to Portland for the program.
At the time he files his original application form, the applicant should indi-
cate at which testing period he will appear for the Dental School orientation-apti-
tude program.
The scores achieved on the aptitude test are for the exclusive use of the Ad-
missions Committee, and will not be revealed to the applicant. The reason for this
policy is to prevent the student from being influenced toward overconfidence or
lack of confidence because of scores and interpretations derived from the tests.
Low scores on these tests are not necessarily considered a disqualifying factor;
in some instances the Admissions Committee accepts an applicant who has done
poorly on one or both of the tests.
Preparation for Admission. Students planning to apply for admission to the
Dental School are strongly advised to obtain as wide an understanding of the
services and functions of the dental profession as possible, by talking with den-
tists in their local community and by reading in the professional journals. The
following periodicals are recommended: J ollrnal of the American Dental Associa-
tion, Journal of Dental Research, and journals of state and district dental societies.
Reading in these periodicals will help orient the student in: the principles and
goals for the promotion of the nation's dental health; the dental health needs of
the American public; the problem of dental manpower to meet these dental health
needs; types of dental service and special fields of scientific, technical, and clinical
activity; and the point of view of the dental profession in regard to present-day
socio-economic situations affecting dental health service.
Applicants are also encouraged to practice chalk-carving exercises in prepara-
tion for the A.D.A. carving-dexterity test and for the Dental School's test of tech-
nic ability. A suggested example may be seen in the A.D.A. Dental Aptitude Man-
[21 ]
22 ADMISSION AND REQUIREMENTS
ltal for Dental School Applicants, page 15. A copy of this manual is sent to all ap-
plicants who register for the A.D.A. Test.
Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. Nonresident stu-
dents seeking certification under the provisions of the program of the Western
Interstate Commission in Higher Education should so notify the Dental School at
the time of application. Requests for certification should be addressed to the local
commission ofuce in the state of residence. Information and addresses of local
offices in each state may be obtained on request to the Executive Secretary, West-
ern Interstate Commission for Higher Education, Norlin Library, Boulder, Colo-
rado.
Students entering the Dental School under the program of the Western Inter-
state Commission are not required to pay the nonresident fee, since this portion
of Dental School fees is borne by the member state sponsoring the student.
Council on Dental Education Aptitude Test. The aptitude test administered
by the Council on Dental Education of the American Dental Association consists
of a battery of five separate tests, which aim to reveal both scholastic ability and
technical ability for dentistry. The academic tests include an examination in the
fields of science and in the understanding of scientific principles and a general
aptitude or psychological examination. The technic battery includes a paper-pencil
object-visualization and space line-and-form relationship test and a chalk-carving
manual-dexterity test. A booklet issued by the American Dental Association,
describing these tests and including sample test items, will be sent to the applicant
when his application is received.
Students planning to take the American Dental Association test should fill
out the application form provided by the Dental School and send it direct to the
Council on Dental Education, American Dental Association, 222 East Superior
Street, Chicago 11, Illinois. General information concerning the dates and loca-
tions of testing centers will be provided by the Council on Dental Education of-
fice. (The A.D.A. test will be given at the University of Oregon Dental School
on October 4, 1957, January 10, 1958, and April 25, 1958.) The charge for the
A.D.A. test is $15.00.
Educational Testing Service Test. Information concerning the college-
transfer test administered by the Educational Testing Service may be obtained by
writing to the E.T.S., Box 9896, Los Feliz Station, Los Angeles 27, California.
Applicants for whom this test has been authorized by the Admissions Committee
of the Dental School should make all arrangements directly with the E.T.S., and
ask that the scores be sent to the Dental School. The cost of this test is $6.00.
Dental School Technic Testing and Orientation Program. In addition to
the tests described above, the Dental School administers a somewhat more in-
clusive test of technical ability. This test and the accompanying orientation pro-
gram are required of all applicants. The technic test resembles very closely some
of the projects in elementary courses in dental technics. Testing activities include
carving procedures using dental instruments and other laboratory procedures
designed to indicate fInger dexterity, depth perception, line-form and space-rela-
tionship discernment, finger strength and pressure discrimination, kinesthetic
sense, and ability to follow steps in technic procedures.
The testing program extends through a two-day period (August 5 and 6,
1958). If the number of applicants desiring to take this test exceeds 160, another
session will be scheduled shortly thereafter. The time involved permits the exam-
iner to estimate the potential ability of the applicant as indicated by progressive
improvement, as well as his native ability.
An applicant for the 1958 entering class is not able to take the Dental School
aptitude test until the August 1958 session, he may be granted conditional accept-
ADMISSION 23
ance by the Admission Committee pending the completion and scoring of the test.
If the score is satisfactory, the applicant will then receive an unconditional accept-
ance.
The orientation portion of the program consists of meetings of applicants, the
dental faculty. dental students, and dental practitioners, where dentistry as a pro-
fession, its responsibilities, functions, and problems are freely discussed. Applicants
are also given a thorough orientation to the life in a professional school and to
particular points of emphasis stressed in the University of Oregon Dental School.
Participants are encouraged to present any questions or problems concerning
admission qualifications and procedures, the Dental School curriculum, dentistry
as a profession, and adjustment to professional study that they may wish con-
sidered. A fee of $6.00 is charged to cover the cost of the program.
Orientation Program for High-School Students. A testing and orienta-
tion program similar to that described above for applicants for admission is also
available for high-school students who wish to learn more about the dental pro-
fession and about the abilities and skills required in the profession. The program
is offered once each year, about the middle of June (June 17-18, 1958) at the
Dental School in Portland.
Though generally similar to the program for applicants, this program places
greater emphasis on vocational guidance. Included are discussions of academic
preparation, types of professional service, and opportunities in the various branches
of dental service. Technic projects are performed to test technic and artistical
abilities required in dentistry.
To qualify for participation, the student should as a general rule rank in schol-
arship within the upper 50 per cent of his class. Application cards may be ob-
tained from high-school principals or vocational counselors. Further information
may be obtained from the reg"istrar of the Dental Scshool.
Speakers on Careers in Dentistry. At the request of college, university, and
high-school vocational counselors, arrangements may be made for talks by mem-
bers of the Dental School Admissions Committee to groups interested in learning
about dental education and dentistry as a career. Requests for speaking engage-
ments should be addressed to the chairman of the Admissions Committee or to the
dean of the Dental School.
In cases where members of the faculty are not available for speaking engage-
ments, the Dental School may be able to arrange for a practicing member of the
dental profession to represent the admissions committee.
Application Procedure
Application for admission to the Dental School should be addressed to the
Admissions Committee, care of the Registrar's Office of the Dental School. The
applicant's credentials should include the following:
(1) Application on an official form, copies of which will be furnished by the Dental School
Registrar.
(2) A recent photograph, endorsed on the back with the name of the applicant and the date
the photograph was taken.
(3) An official transcript of all college work completed at the time of application. This
transcript should cover a minimum of three terms of college work. (The applicant should also
submit to the Dental School unofficial personal memoranda, term by term, of grades received
after the filing of this transcript until he receives formal notice of admission to the Dental
School. After the completion of his predental program, and before enrollment in the Dental
School, he must file with the Registrar of tbe Dental School a final official transcript covering
all his collegiate work.)
(4) A statement of college work in progress and the courses the applicant proposes to take
before admission to the Dental School; the statement should list specific courses, with the credit
which each carries.
24 ADMISSION AND REQUIREMENTS
(5) A personal letter, addressed to the Admissions Committee, stating in detail the reasons
why the applicant has chosen a dental career; the letter should also include any other informa-
tion which the applicant considers important for a thorough evaluation of his credentials.
(6) A tentative budget for the four years at the Dental School, showing: available assets;
expected annual income; anticipated expenditures for fees, equipment, supplies, and personal
and living expenses. In preparing this budget, the applicant should take account of the state-
ment of costs on pages 29-31 of this Catalog, and should be careful to list all actual assets.
Reference is always made to this budget when student financial problems are considered.
(7) A statement of the selective· service status of the applicant, including his code number
and the number and address of his local selective-service board.
(8) The credit-evaluation fee of $5.00 (this fee is not refundable).
(9) A preference card indicating at which testing periods he will appear for the Dental
School orientation-aptitude program.
\~hen an applicant for admission is notified of acceptance, he must make a
$25.00 deposit to reserve a place in the entering class; this deposit is applied on
first-term fees.
If the applicant is still pursuing his predental studies or if certain procedures
for admission have not been completed, the notice of acceptance will be "condi-
tional." When all requirements and procedures are completed, a confirmatory
"unconditional" acceptance will be sent to the applicant.
Application for admission should be filed as soon as possible after July 1 of
the year preceding desired entrance. For example, applications for the entering
class in the fall of 1958 should be filed during the summer of 1957. The final date
for filing application is October 31 preceding the year of desired entrance. The
Admissions Committee will begin selecting candidates for the next entering class
soon after the opening of the academic year in October, and will meet periodically
thereafter for purposes of selection until the class is filled. Applicants should
understand that it is of decided advantage to file all credentials and complete all
aptitude requirements as early as possible, to insure full consideration by the Ad-
missions Committee. The Admissions Committee will not wait until the final filing
date before begining its selection procedures, so that acceptable applicants with
all requirements fulfilled may be notified of committee action as soon as pos-
sible.
Admission Requirements
For admission to the professional curriculum in dentistry, the University of
Oregon Dental School requires the completion of a minimum of two academic
years (90 term hours, 60 semester hours) of college preparation, with a grade-
point average of 2.00 or higher. This college work must include:
(1) English Composition-minimum of 9 term hours (6 semester hours).
(2) General Chemistry (including qualitative analysis) and Quantitative
Analysis, each 'with laboratory-minimum of 15 term hours (10 semester hours).
(3) Organic Chemistry, with laboratory-8 term hours (5 semester hours).
(4) Biology (preferably zoology), with laboratory-12 term hours (8 se-
mester hours).
(5) Physics, with laboratory-9-15 term hours (6-10 semester hours).
The courses in science presented for the satisfaction of these requirements
must be of the same level as those listed in the predental curricula offered at the
University of Oregon and Oregon State College (see p. 26 and the general cata-
logs of these institutions). Any variation from this predental science pattern must
be approved in advance, in writing, by the official predental adviser of the insti-
ADMISSION 25
tution where the student is taking his predental work and by the Registrar of the
Dental School. As a general rule, all required predental science courses should
be the equivalent of the corresponding standard premedical courses.
Although the two-year predental program satisfies the minimum admission
requirements of the Dental School, students are encouraged to devote additional
time to their predental education, whenever possible.
The Admissions Committee expects that all applicants presenting 135 term
hours or more of predental work will have their predental program so arranged
that they will qualify for the B.A. or B.S: degree after the completion of two or
more years at the Dental School. To make this possible, the student's predental
work must be carefully planned to insure the satisfaction of all requirements for
the baccalaureate degree before entering the Dental School-except certain upper-
division major requirements for which science courses in the dental curriculum
may be offered as substitutes. Predental students are urged to keep in close touch
with their faculty advisers to insure that these requirements are met. The Dental
School recommends that the predental student acquire as broad and liberal an
educational background as possible before entering' upon the highly specialized
professional curriculum in dentistry.
Transfer Students
A student transferring from another dental school in the United States may
be granted advanced standing at the discretion of the admissions committee. Evi-
dence of honorable dismissal from the dental school attended must be submitted.
A minimum of two years of work in residence at the University of Oregon Dental
School is required for eligibility for a degree. .
Foreign Students
A foreign student submitting credentials in a language other than English
should present, with the original credentials, a literal translation certified by a
consul of the country where the student's preparatory work was taken, and a full
explanation, by the consul, of the educational status of the institution from which
the credentials were submitted. The original credentials, the translations, and the
explanation should be sent directly to the Dental School by the consul. Foreign
credentials must satisfy the specific entrance requirements of the Dental School.
A foreign student is required to have sufficient knowledge of the English language
to enable him to understand lectures and demonstrations and to read and under-
stand texts prescribed by the Dental School. This proficiency may, at the discretion
of the Admissions Committee, be tested by qualifying examinations in spoken and
written English.
Foreign students who apply for admission to the Dental School with advanced
standing may be required to take qualifying examinations in the basic sciences or
in clinical dentistry or in both. Rarely is it possible for a foreign student entering
with advanced standing to qualify for graduation from the Dental School in less
than two years; three or more years may be required.
Special Students
A person who, for any reason, is allowed to follow a program of study which
differs significantly from the regular curriculum of any class is classified as a
special student. Special students pay the same fees as regular undergraduate stu-
dents.
26 ADMISSION AND REQUIREMENTS
Predental Curriculum
TYPICAL EXAMPLES of three- and two-year predental curricula, shown
below, may serve as useful guides to students preparing for admission to the
Dental School. The specific courses listed should not be interpreted as rigid re-
quirements. Advice concerning the acceptability of courses at a particular institu-
tion, toward meeting the basic predental requirements, may be obtained on request
to the Registrar of the Dental School; a copy of the catalog of the institution in
question should accompany the request.
The two- and three-year predental programs offered by the University of
Oregon and Oregon State College satisfy the admission requirements of the
Dental School. See the general catalogs of these institutions.

REGISTRATION PROCEDURE 27
With a proper choice of predental electives, students completing the three-
year curriculum may qualify for the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science de-
gree from the University of Oregon, after one or more years of Dental School
work. The University accepts a maximum of 48 term hours of professional work
in dentistry toward a bachelor's degree; courses in the basic sciences, taken at the
Dental School, may be counted toward the satisfaction of major requirements in
biology or general science.
A student who completes a three-year predental program at another accred-
ited college or university may find is possible to qualify for a bachelor's degree,
under similar conditions, at his own institution.
Registration Procedure
THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF THE FALL TERM are devoted to registra-
tion. At the opening of the 1957-58 session, first-year students report for registra-
tion at 9 :00 a.m. on Thursday, September 26; second-year students at 1 :00 p.m.
on Thursday, September 26; third-year students at 9 :00 a.m. on Friday, Septem-
ber 27; fourth-year students at 1 :00 p.m. on Friday, September 27. Since the
registration schedule is very crowded, promptness in reporting is essential. Noti-
fication concerning registration procedure is mailed to each student prior to the
opening of the session.
Voluntary Junior-Senior Patient Assignment
Junior and senior dental students are urged to take advantage of a voluntary
before-term patient assignment program, under which students, between the close
of the summer term (September 13, 1957) and the opening of the fall term (Sep-
tember 26, 1957) may arrange in advance with the patient appointment section
for fall-term clinical patient assignments.
Scholarship Regulations
THE SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS of the University of Oregon
Dental School for advancement or graduation conform to the policies of the Ore-
gon State Board of Higher Education and the Council on Dental Education of
the American Den'tal Association.
Grading System
Accomplishment by students in Dental School courses is graded in accordance
with the following system: A, exceptional; E, superior; C, satisfactory; D, in-
ferior; I, incomplete; E, conditional; F, failure; W, withdrawal.
Faculty regulations governing marks of Incomplete, Condition, Withdrawal,
or Failure are as follows:
Incomplete. ';York which has not been completed for just cause is given the
grade of Incomplete. The student is allowed one term for the satisfactory comple-
tion of the work, or its equivalent; an extension of time may be granted in special
cases. The summer interim is considered a term.
Condition. An evaluation at the level of a high F or a low D may be given
a Condition grade, implying that a further evaluation of the student's work is
required. The student has the opportunity of removing a Condition either by re-
28 ADMISSION AND REQUIREMENTS
examination or by completion of special assignments covering his deficiencies, or
by both. D is the highest grade that may be granted on re-evaluation. September
15 is the deadline for removal of conditions; they may, however, be removed
before this date if such action is mutually agreeable to both the student and in"
structor. '
Withdrawal. The grade of W is given for satisfactory performance at the time
of withdrawal. Normally a student must withdraw from all courses prior to the
fourth week before the end of the term to receive a grade of W for satisfactory
performance. A grade of F will be given in every course in which the work was
failing at the time of withdrawal. Students who withdraw after the fourth-week
deadline will normally receive a grade of F in all courses.
For just cause the faculty or Executive Committee may grant permission for
extension of time limits for withdrawals and for removal of incompletes and
conditions.
Failure. Work which is not of a quality acceptable for credit receive a grade
of F. To continue toward the completion of his Dental School work, the student
must repeat a course in which he has received the grade of F, or complete an
acceptable substitute course with a satisfactory grade. Unless special permission
for extension of time is granted, the student must comply with this regulation
within one academic year.
Grades given at the end of the fall or winter term in sequential courses are
provisional if the instructor so indicates on the grade sheet. Provisional grades
will not be recorded on the students permanent record; a final permanent grade
will be recorded at the end of the course or school year. The provisional grade
represents the best possible evaluation of the' student at the time.
No provisional grades may be carried beyond the end of the academic (school)
year, which closes at the end of the spring term.
A student's general scholastic standing is estimated in terms of his "grade-
point average" (GPA). Grade points are computed on the basis of 4 points for each
credit hour of A grades, 3 points for each credit hour of B, 2 points for each credit
hour of C, 1 point for each credit hour of D, and 0 points for each credit hour of
E or F. Grades of incomplete are disregarded in the computation of points. The
grade-point average is the quotient of total points divided by total credit hours in
which grades of A, B, C, D, E, or F, are received.
Scholarship Requirements
Scholastic regulations are administered through the Scholarship Committee
(for didactic subjects) and the Clinic Committee (for clinical subjects). These
committees, at the end of each academic year, present reports to the faculty on the
academic standing of all students, with recommendations for appropriate action in
cases of unsatisfactory scholarship.
To qualify for advancement or graduation, the student is required to maintain
a grade-point average of 2.00 or higher for each year's work. For failure to main-
tain this minimum satisfactory average, the student may be dismissed from the
school or required to repeat the work of the year for which his scholarship is
deficient, at the option of the faculty.
The Executive Committee or the faculty may place any student on probation
whose general performance is questionable. Any student on probation may be
dropped from school or removed from probation at any time by action of the
faculty.
Senior students who are deficient in scholarship may be dropped by faculty
action. A senior student who fail s to complete all unit and proficiency requirements
FEES AND EXPENSES 29
for graduation with his class is expected to make up all deficiencies within a period
of one additional term. A student who does not qualify for graduation within this
period may, upon recommendation of the faculty, be permitted to repeat the work
of the senior year.
Students who are required to repeat a course or a year's work may be assigned
a modified program involving some new content or experience. The material to be
covered is determined by the Scholarship and Clinic Committees.
National Board Examinations
The National Board Examinations of the American Dental Association are
given at the Dental School twice each year for dental students and members of the
dental profession who wish to take these examinations in lieu of the science and
didactic parts of state board examinations. At present approximately 30 state
dental boards recognize a passing grade in the National Board Examinations as
equivalent to a passing grade in the state didactic examinations. In these states,
demonstration of clinical proficiency is usually the only additional requirement for
qualification for dental practice.
The National Board Examinations are not required by the state boards of
dental examiners. At the present time, however, virtually all eligible students at
the University of Oregon Dental School take these examinations.
Foreign students who have applied for citizenship in the United States are
eligible to take the National Dental Board Examination.
The dates when the examinations will be given for 1957-58 are December 2-3,
1957, and March 31-April 1, 1958.
Fees and Expenses
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS at the Dental School pay uniform regular
fees each term during the four years of the professional curriculum. Dental School
fees for the academic year 1957-58 total $189.00 per term for residents of Oregon
and $280.00 for nonresidents.
Special fees are fees paid under the special conditions indicated. Increases in
costs of materials, supplies, and equipment may necessitate upward adjustments
in the laboratory and course fees and in other incidental fees.
The Board of Higher Education reserves the right to make changes in the
schedule of fees without notice.
Regular fees, special fees, deposits, and other instructional expenses are listed
below:

Refund of Fees and Deposits
Fee Refunds. Students who withdraw from the Dental School and who have
complied with the regulations governing withdrawals are entitled to certain re-
funds of fees paid, depending on the time of withdrawaL The refund sGhedule has
been established by the State Board of Higher Education, and is on file in the
Dental School Business Office. All refunds are subject to the following regulations:
(1) Any claim for refund must be made in writing before the close of the term in which
the claim originated.
(2) Refunds in all cases are calculated from the date of application for refund and not
from the date when the student eeased attending elasses, except in unusual cases when formal
withdrawal has been delayed through cames largely beyond the control of the student.
Deposit Refunds. The $25.00 entrance deposit, paid by entering students on
acceptance of application, applies on first-term tuition. If the applicant does not
enter the Dental School, the deposit will be refunded if the Registrar is notified not
less than one month before the scheduled registration day.
Regulations Governing Nonresident Fee
The Oregon State Board of Higher Education has ruled that any person who
comes into the state of Oregon for the purpose of attending one of the institutions
under the control of the Board, and who for any reason is not qualified for classifi-
cation as a resident of the state of Oregon, shall pay the nonresident fee, except:
(a) a student who holds a degree from an accredited college or university and is
registered in a curriculum other than professional dentistry, law, or medicine,
(b) a student attending summer session, (c) a student paying part-time fees, (d) a
student whose parent is a regular employee of the Federal government stationed in
Oregon, or (e) a student whose father is domiciled in the state of Oregon as de-
fined under (1) below.
The residence or domicile of a student is normally that of his father; if his
father is not living, it is normally that of his mother. In case of parents' divorce,
the domicile of a student is generally determined by the residence of the parent to
whom custody is granted by the court. The domicile of a wife is normally that of
her husband; if both are students, the wife's residence status is determined by that
of the husband. The domicile of a student who is independent of the relations men-
tioned above is determined by rule (1) below. An alien cannot begin to establish
residence until he has convincingly demonstrated his intention to become a citizen.
The Board has established the following rules to be observed in determining
the residence status of students:
(1) Residence and domicile are synonymous and domicile shall be considered to be a fixed
permanent residence to which the student has the intention of returning. The fixed permanent
residence must normally have been maintained for at least twelve months prior to the school
term for which resident classification is sought, and must be a bona fide residence which the
student has no intention of changing when the school period has expired. Proved actual resi-
dence and intention to remain must exist simultaneously, Factors used in considering intent in-
clude length of time within the state, age and family status of student, residence of near rela-
tives, place of voting, ownership of property, sources of financial support, record of employment
and schooling (intent cannot be demonstrated by school attendance alone).
(2) A student whose offieial records show his own or his parent's domicile to be outside
FEES AND EXPENSES 31
of Oregon is prima facia a nonresident, and the burden is upon the student to prove the con-
trary. If his official transcripts of academic record show attendance at a school outside of Ore-
gon, he may be required to furnish furiher proof of Oregon domicile.
(3) A nonresident at the time of enrollment is held to that classification throughout his
attendance as a student, except where he can prove that his or her parents' previous domicile
has been abandoned and a new one established in Oregon in accordance with these regulations.
A resident student will be reclassified as nonresident at any time his Oregon domicile is lost.
Books, Equipment, and SuppHes

Living Expenses
Single rooms may be obtained in Portland for about $40.00 a month; two-
and three-room apartments rent for about $85.00 a month; the rate for room and
board averages $75.00 a month. The Dental School has no dormitory facilities.
Several Dental School fraternities provide living accommodations for their mem-
bers. Students accepted for admission to the Dental School are advised to arrange
for housing before the opening of the school year.
"* The cost of books, equipment and supplies totaled for each year represent minimum costs
derived from required books and supplies schedules submitted by the several departments.
Approximately $150.00 additional expenditure for each year should be anticipated; this repre'
sents supplementary expenditures for replacing expendable supplies throughout the year and
for the voluntary purchase by the student of instruments and equipment that, while not on the
required department list of equipment and supplies, are nevertheless voluntarily purchased by
many students. When budgeting the eost of equipment and supplies for the four years, the
student is therefore advised to anticipate an average of at least $150.00 a year more than the
totals noted.
Degree Curricula
Undergraduate Curriculum
THE PURPOSE OF THE UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM leading to
the D.M.D. degree is the training of able general practitioners of dentistry. The
organization and content of each course, the methods of instruction, and the se-
quence of courses are all directed to provide a unified and integrated educational
experience leading to professional objectives.
The individual courses, to a far greater extent than brief catalog descriptions
can reveal, are constructed to correlate with the instruction the student is receiving
at the same time in other classrooms and laboratories and in the clinics-and to
anticipate practical applications and relationships learned in immediately subse-
quent terms.
The traditional division of the dental curriculum into "preclinical" and "clini-
cal" years has been broken down, in order that the student may grasp the clinical
significance of didactic instruction in the basic sciences and laboratory work in
technics without educationally unsound delay. The student meets the patient dur-
ing his first term at the Dental School, and, before the end of his first year, per-
forms selected operations in the fields of prosthetics and oral prophylaxis. Study
in the basic sciences, on the other hand, is placed throughout the four-year cur-
riculum in close time relationship to clinical applications.
TIlE' curriculum is sufficiently flexible to allow, within certain limits, special
arrangements for students with ability and learning power that enable them to
progress more rapidly than their class. They may be provided with additional
course content, and may be introduced to clinic work ahead of their classmates; in
the clinics they are encouraged to gain wider experience rather than continue the
unnecessary repetition of like operations.
In the third and fourth years, elective courses in applied and experimental sci-
ence are offered, to encourage individual study along lines of special interest arid to
provide a review, in relation to clinical applications, of fundamental scientific con-
cepts learned during the first two years of the curriculum.
Within the framework of the required program, time is aIlowed for inde-
pendent research and for experience in selected problems of clinical practice.
Throughout the four-year program, seminars, conferences, and discussion groups
are provided to insure individual attention to student problems and a close personal
relationship between students and faculty.
The summer clinics, which are open to all students, provide an opportunity
for supplementary clinical practice and experience under faculty supervision. No
credit toward graduation is given for these clinics.

Graduate Program
GRADUATE WORK leading to the Master of Science degree is offered at the
Dental School for students planning careers in dental education and research.
Holders of graduate degrees in the basic sciences are allowed one year of credit by
some specialty boards toward specialty requirements.
Graduate major programs have been arranged in the fields of anatomy, bac-
teriology, biochemistry, oral pathology, pedodontics, pharmacology, and phys-
iology. Supplementary courses carrying graduate credit are offered in public
health and dental materials.
Admission to Graduate Status
For admission to graduate study, the applicant must hold the B.A. or B.S.
degree from an accredited college or university or an acceptable professional de-
gree. He must also have the recommendation by the head of the Dental School
department concerned and the approval by the Graduate Committee and the dean
of the Dental School. Application forms are available at the office of the Regis-
trar.
Acceptance of admission to graduate status is regarded as a declaration of
intent to complete a program of graduate study.
Standards of Performance
Graduate students enrolled in the same courses with undergraduate dental
students are graded on exactly the same basis as the dental students, and are
expected to perform scholastically at a higher level than the average dental stu-
dent in the same course; special work, not required of dental students, may be
assigned at the discretion of the instructor. No graduate credit is granted for
course grades lower than C, and the student must maintain a minimum yearly
average of B to continue registration in the Dental School as a graduate stu-
dent.
36 DEGREE CURRICULA
Admission to Candidacy for a Graduate Degree
Admission to graduate status does not in itself entitle a student to become a
candidate for a graduate degree. Admission to candidacy is granted only after the
student has demonstrated the thoroughness of his preparation and his ability to
do work of graduate character.
Admission to candidacy is determined by the Graduate Committee, on the
recommendation of the head of the student's major department and after a review
of his graduate scholastic record.
Requirements for a Graduate Degree
(1) Residence: Academic residence is established by registration as a grad-
uate student in the Dental School. To qualify for the M.S. degree, the student
must have spent a minimum of three academic terms in residence as a graduate
student. Although it is preferable that residence be continuous, it is recognized
that interruption may be unavoidable. All work leading to the M.S. degree must
be completed within seven years of initial registration.
(2) Duration of Candidacy: A student working for the master's degree must
be a candidate for the degree for at least one academic term.
(3) Graduate Record Examination: All graduate students must take this
examination either before entrance or within the first term of residence. The
examination is given periodically at the several institutions in the Oregon State
System of Higher Education and at most colleges and universities in the United
States.
(4) Hours of Graduate Work Required:
(a) For the M.S. degree 30 hours of academic credit are required in the major
and 15 credit hours in a minor of one or more related fields.
(b) The normal course load registration is 15 hours per term. Graduate
students employed as assistants or fellows may not register for more than 12 credit
hours per term.
(c) Not more than 15 hours of acceptable graduate credit may be transferred
from another institution.
(5) Thesis Requirement: The candidate for the M.S. degree must present
a written report of experimental investigations carried out during the course of
graduate study. This thesis must be acceptable to the head of the student's major
department and to the Graduate Committee. Ordinarily the thesis is a report of
experimental work conducted by the student under the close supervision of his
maj or instructor.
(6) Oral Thesis Examination: An oral examination covering the subj ect of
the thesis is required. The examining committee is appointed by the chairman of
the Graduate Committee and the head of the department concerned. The examina-
tion must take place at least ten days prior to the date of commencement.
(7) Fee Schedule: Graduate students pay the following regular fees:

Graduate Program in Pedodontics
The graduate program in pedodontics is designed to provide tra1ll1l1g for
competence in the administration of complete remedial and therapeutic care for
the child-so that normal growth and development of the dento-facial complex
may be expressed. The program includes study of treatment for the chronically
ill and for the mentally and physically handicapped child, whose dental care is so
inaccessible today. The student receives instruction in the professional aspects of
the pedodontics specialty in preparation for teaching. Emphasis is placed on the
evaluation of scientific methodology, to encourage the student to contribute to
the advancement of his profession through the critical interpretation of new
knowledge.
The graduate student's 30-credit-hour major is satisfied by required courses
supplemented by electives selected in consultation with the departmental staff.
The courses are designed to qualify the graduate to evaluate objectively the
principles involved in the child's oral and general health, as well as to perform
capably as a diagnostician and clinician in the specialized field of dentistry for
children.
The approach is through conferences and seminars, with discussions empha-
sizing correlations with allied fields, evaluation of diagnostic methods, and ra-
tionalization of treatment principles. The conferences are supported by laboratory
and clinical programs to provide application of this knowledge.
The graduate student participates in hospital rounds and conferences to
integrate the principles of medicine with the complete dental care of the child and
to gain experience in the performance of services for the hospitalized patient. The
student also participates in the team approach utilized in the care of the cleft
palate child. Problems of the cerebral palsied, the paralytic, the mentally retarded,
and other handicapped children are evaluated in terms of the needs of these
children.
The student's minor (15 credit hours) is taken in graduate courses offered
by the basic science departments of the Dental School or graduate-credit courses
offered by the Medical School and the Portland State Extension Center. Certain of
these courses are required for the M.S. degree in pedodontics, such as anatomy,
statistics, dental materials, and oral pathology. Others may be elected.
All candidates must submit a thesis, which must be accepted before the de-
gree is awarded. The thesis, based upon original investigative work, is directed by
two advisers associated with the fields of investigation.
A final oral examination is conducted by the faculty of the Department of
Pedodontics and other qualified guest examiners, selected by the head of the
department.

Special Programs
Postgraduate Study
THE DENTAL SCHOOL'S program of postgraduate study is designed to
provide, for the graduate dentist, an opportunity to continue his professional edu-
cation during his years of practice. The postgraduate program includes short re-
fresher courses and longer sequences of instruction in special phase of dental prac-
tice.
Plans for the development of the postgraduate program call for courses in:
(1) standard clinical methods and techniques (refresher); (2) new techniques
and procedures; (3) methods of diagnosis; (4) applied basic science; (5) office
procedures and practice management; (6) techniques and procedures in special
fields, such as children's dentistry, prosthetics, periodontology, oral surgery, etc.,
with differentiated instruction for the general practitioner and for the specialist;
(7) methods, objectives, and techniques or dental pedagogy
Special facilities for postgraduate study include a fully equipped twelve-chair
postgraduate clinic, with an adjoining classroom; a laboratory adjacent to the
post graduate clinic for casting, investing, and other clincallaboratory procedures,
and for instruction in dental techniques. The science laboratories,Library, and
other facilities of the Dental School are also available to postgraduate stu-
dents.
The postgraduate faculty includes regular members of the Dental School
faculty, members of the dental profession in the Portland area, and visiting clinical
instructors from other areas.
The postgraduate program has several phases: (1) year-long courses which
meet once a month and have a membership organization similar to a study club;
(2) courses which vary in length from .two days to two weeks; (3) one-year
full-time courses in certain fields, including periodontology, pedodontics, and oral
surgery.
Information concerning the postgraduate schedule of courses will be pro-
vided, on request, by the Department of Postgraduate Education of the Dental
School.
The courses are announced several times each year through brochures mailed
to all alumni and dentists in the northwest area. The length of course, names of
instructors, course content and tuition fee information are included in each an-
nouncement.
Training for Dental Assistants
A PROGRAM FOR TRAINING of dental assistants has been organized by the
Department of Postgraduate Education in cooperation with the American Dental
Assistants Association and the Portland Extension Center of the Oregon State
System of Higher Education. The requirements for certification as outlined by
the American Dental Assistants Association are met by the course. It is com-
posed of two parts, one primarily theory and the other laboratory. The theory
consists of 39 two-hour weekly evening meetings with a tuition fee of $50.00, while
the laboratory consists of 25 weekly meetings of two hours each with a tuition fee
of $35.00. For further information write the Department of Postgraduate Educa-
tion of the Dental School.

CHILD STUDY CLINIC
Child Study Clinic
57
THE CHILD STUDY CLINIC has been established for the study of the oral
health problems of children in relation to the growth, development, and physical
health of the whole child. Children registered in the clinic are received for periodic
observation, and for the systematic recording of individual physical growth, re-
gional and systemic disturbance, oral health, and dento-facial development. The
child's record is documented by physical measurements, roentgenographic records,
photographs, oral casts, and detailed information on general and oral health;
roentgenographic records of the head are made with the Broadbent-Bolton
cephalometer.
Data collected are used for teaching purposes in the Departments of Phys-
iology, Pedodontics and Orthodontics. Through work in the Child Study Clinic,
undergraduate and postgraduate students acquire an understanding of the changes
that take place in the dentition and face of the growing child, and of the reciprocal
relation between systemic disturbances and oral disease.
The staff of the Child Study Clinic conducts research projects planned to pro-
vide a better understanding of the dental problems of children.
The facilities of the clinic are available, for consultation, to the general public
and to members of the medical and dental professions.
The Child Study Clinic is diretced by an Advisory Council, listed on page 13.
Oral Tumor Registry
THE ORAL TUMOR REGISTRY compiles data on tumors and related lesions
of the oral cavity. Financial support of the registry is provided by the American
Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute of the United States Public
Health Service. The registry is administered by the Department of Oral Pathology
and is closely coordinated with the teaching and research activities of that depart-
ment.
The registry material includes complete histories, surgical procedures, and
follow-up reports, together with tissue, microscopic sections, X-rays, and gross
and microscopic photographs. This information is available to the health profes-
sions for study and research.
Cleft Palate Clinic
THE CLEFT PALATE CLINIC of the Dental School has been established,
in cooperation with the Crippled Children's Division of the University of Oregon
Medical School, to provide more complete treatment for cleft palate patients.
Children seen in the clinic receive a complete dento-facial appraisal, consisting of
an oral examination of the hard and soft tissues in the mouth, cephalometric head-
plates, impressions for study casts, and facial and intra-oral photographs. Physical
measurements are made to assess the physical growth and maturation of the patient,
and these records are evaluated to determine treatment required.
The patient's dentist, the physician staR of the Crippled Children's Division
of the Medical School, and the staff of the Cleft Palate Clinic, provide coordinated
treatment through a Dento-Plastic Speech Clinic. Specialists participating in the
work of the clinic include plastic surgeons, otolaryngologists, orthodontists,
pediatricians, pedodontists, speech pathologists and therapists, and medical social
consultants.
58 SPECIAL PROGRAMS
Research
RESEARCH is an integral part of the educational program of the Dental School.
Undergraduate students may elect a limited number of hours of special study,
in which they participate, with members of the faculty, in the extension of knowl-
edge in the dental sciences.
Research by members of the faculty has, in recent years, been aided by grants
from the Oregon chapter of the American Cancer Society, the Oregon State Board
of Dental Examiners, the Oregon State Board of Health, the United States Public
Health Service, and the Office of Naval Research of the United States Navy.
Audio-Visual Instruction
THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF ILLUSTRATION, in cooperation
with the several instructional departments, the Dental School is developing ma-
terials and methods for audio-visual instruction in the field of professional dental
education. The department produces lantern slides, film strips, motion pictures,
photographs, sound recordings, and other audio-visual instructional aids, and
collects similar materials produced by other agencies.
The materials produced by the department are available for loan, through the
Dental School Library, to schools, members of the dental profession, and Dental
School students.
Dental Hygiene
THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON DENTAL SCHOOL introduced a two-
year curriculum leading to a Certificate in Dental Hygiene in the fall of 1949,
following the enactment of a statute by the Oregon Legislature defining the prac-
tice of dental hygiene and providing for the licensing of dental hygienists.
Graduates in dental hygiene may earn the Bachelor of Science degree, with
a major in health education, after two additional years of study on the Eugene
campus of the University of Oregon. Under a similar arrangement, they may
earn the B.S. degree, with a major in general science, after two additional years
of study at Oregon State College in Corvallis, or a B.S. degree in general studies
at Portland State College after two additional years of work at that institution.
As an alternative the student may enroll at the University in Eugene, at
Oregon State College, or at Portland State College for her freshman year, transfer
to the Dental School for the two-year dental hygienist program, and return to
one of these three institutions for her senior year to complete the requirements for
a B.S. degree.
The major emphasis in the practice of dental hygiene is on the prevention of
dental diseases through such typical services as oral phophylaxis, topical applica-
tion of sodium fluoride to the teeth, and instruction of patients in the maintenance
of oral health.
Opportunities for Dental Hygienists
IT HAS BEEN ESTIMATED that 32,500 dentists working exclusively for the
children of the United States for one year would be required to care for these chil-
dren's current dental needs. There are, however, only about 84,000 practicing
dentists in the United States to serve both adults and children. Because of limited
dental manpower and the accumulated dental needs of the public, the dentist must
ordinarily spend the greater portion of his time in restorative work for adults, and
can give relatively less attention to preventive work for children.
A major responsibility in the expanding field of preventive dental health must,
therefore, be assumed by the dental hygienist, working under the supervision of
the dentists. There are approximately 10,000 dental hygienists now practicing in
the United States; there is a demand for many times this number. The student of
dental hygiene may look forward to a very useful and interesting career as a needed
member of the health professions.
The following are typical opportunities for service for a student who com-
pletes the two-year curriculum offered by the Dental School and passes a state
board examination:
In a private dental office-performing oral prophylaxes; applying sodium
fluoride to the surfaces of the teeth; instructing in the care of the mouth; main-
taining a patient recall system; exposing and processing X-ray films; occasionally
aiding the dentist in oral operations.
In the public schools-cooperating with school and health officials in instruc-
tion for mouth hygiene; recording dental health conditions and statistical data;
performing oral prophylaxes and giving sodium-fluoride applications; delivering
dental health talks before school children and P.T.A. groups.
In public health agencies-performing duties similar to those in the public
schools; serving in clinics and hospitals for indigent children and adults; cooperat-
ing with public health officials and dentists in dental health education (the dental
[59 ]
60 DENTAL HYGIENE
hygienist may assume considerable responsibility for organization and adminis-
tration of programs).
In private industry-performing preventive dental health functions similar to
those in private practice; serving in health clinics maintained by industrial organ-
izations for their employees.
It is anticipated that the greatest future demand for dental hygienists will be
in private dental practice. An increasing number of graduate hygienists are, how-
ever, being employed in the public health programs maintained by the schools and
the state and local health departments.
Admission
THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION to the curriculum for dental
hygienists include: (l) graduation from a standard high school, (2) courses in
biology and chemistry of high-school level or above, (3) the completion of the
aptitude tests for dental hygiene of the American Dental Hygienists Association~
The dates for these tests for 1957-58 are October 11,1957 and April 11, 1958. They
are given at the Dental School and begin at 9 :00 a.m.
Except under special circumstances, only women over 18 years of age are
admitted. A personal interview, a physical examination, and participation in· a
prematriculation orientation program may be required. Transcripts of work com-
pleted in high school or college should be sent direct from the school where work
was completed to the Registrar of the University of Oregon Dental School.
The Admissions Committee selects the entering class each year on a competi-
tive basis. The following factors are considered by the committee:
(1) Standing in high-school graduating class. Graduates in the upper fourth
of their class are given preference.
(2) College or junior-college work. While not required for admission, some
college or junior-college experience will facilitate adj ustment to professional
training. Those planning to attend college for a year or more before applying for
admission to the dental hygiene curriculum are advised to write for information
regarding courses to be taken to Dr. Franklin B. Haar, professor of health edu-
cation, University of Oregon, Eugene; or to the Dean of Faculty, Portland State
College, Portland; or to Dr. F. A. Gilfillan, Dean of the School of Science, Oregon
State College, Corvallis. (See page 59 for information concerning a bachelor's
. degree for dental hygiene students.)
(3) Residence. Preference is given to residents of Oregon.
(4) Personal qualifications. Careful consideration is given to the candidate's
sincerity of interest, character and personality, personal appearance, and health.
Willingness to place public service first is a paramount requirement for anyone
planning to enter one of the health professions. A basically ethical attitude, habits
of dignity, tact, courtesy, neatness and poise, and a pleasant social manner are es-
sential qualities of a successful dental hygienist. Since the hygienist will work
under the supervision of a dentist, and with the general public and members of
other professions, ability to accept criticism and to cooperate under administrative
direction is very important. General manual dexterity and adeptness in the use of
small instruments are indispensable. The dental hygiene student should be in good
health and have good posture, vision, and hearing.
(5) Aptitude tests. The results from the dental hygiene aptitude tests of the
American Dental Hygienists Association are considered.
REGISTRATION 61
Admission Procedure. Further information concerning the hygiene cur-
riculum may be obtained by writing to the registrar of the Dental School. Appli-
cation forms will be furnished on request. It is recommended that application for
admission, on the official application form,together with other information re-
quested by the Admissions Committee, be submitted before May 15; the final date
for filing application is July 1. Application may be made after the completion of
the first half of the student's final year in high school. The instructional program
begins in the fall term; new students are not admitted at any other time. Each
entering class is limited to a maximum of 20 students.
Aptitude Testing Program. The University of Oregon Dental School is a
testing center for the Dental Hygiene Aptitude Testing Program of the Amer-
ican Dental Hygienists Association. With these tests it is possible to predict with
increased accuracy the probable success of students in the dental hygiene curric-
ulum and to provide more specific vocational guidance.
These tests are a requirement for a.dmission to the denta.l hygiene program
at the Un,iversity of Oregon Dental School. However, the aptitude results, in
themselves, are not the sole basis upon which an applicant will be considered for
admission. The dates when the tests may be taken at the Dental School are Octo-
ber 11, 1957 or April 11, 1958. Applicants are not permitted to take the test more
than once a year (for example, an applicant who is tested in October 1957 may
not be tested again until October 1958 or later). The April 1958 testing period is
intended primarily for applicants to the class entering in 1958, but 1959 applicants
may register for this testing period.
In order to allow sufficient time for processing, alI applications for the apti-
tude tests must be received by the American Dental Hygienists Association, 522
Fifth Avenue, New York 36, New York, before September 28, 1957 for the Oc-
tober testing period, and before March 29, 1958 for the April testing period.
The testing program requires one-half day's attendance at the school. The
fee for the program is $9.00. A brochure describing these tests is sent to all
applicants for admission to the dental hygiene curriculum.
Registration
THE FIRST TWO DAYS of the fall term are devoted to registration. At the
opening of the 1957-58 session, first-year dental hygiene students report at 9 :00
a.m. on Thursday, September 26, 1957, second-year students report at 1 :00 p.m.
on Thursday, September 26. Information on registration procedures is mailed to
each student before the opening of the session.
Fees and Expenses
STUDENTS IN THE DENTAL HYGIENE CURRICULUM pay the same
regular fees as dental students: a total of $189.00 per term for residents of Ore-
gon or a total of $280.00 for nonresidents. For a detailed table of fees, see page 29.
The total cost of books, equipment, and supplies required during the two
years of the dental hygiene program is estimated at $300.00. The required equip-
ment includes: prophylactic instruments, shoes, uniforms, and laboratory coats.
It is estimated that the total cost of the two-year program, exclusive of living
costs, is about $1,500 for residents of Oregon and about $2,000 for nonresidents.
The Dental School has no dormitory or other housing facilities for dental
hygiene students. Living costs will vary according to the type of facility. Single
rooms may be obtained in Portland for about $40.00 a month; two- and three-
62 DENTAL HYGIENE
room apartments may be rented for about $85.00 a month. Students accepted for
admission are advised to arrange for housing before the opening of the schaol year.
The student's registration fees cover the cost of physical examinations,
diagnostic service, and emergency care through the Student Health Service. See
page 19.
Facilities
THE CLASSROOMS, LABORATORIES, AND CLINICS of the Dental
School are made available for the instruction of dental hygiene students. Teaching
materials furnished include microscopes and laboratory equipment. Under special
arrangements, practical experience is furnished the student through the facilities
of the Portland public schools' dental health program.
The Dental School Library is a source for reference reading and study, and
serves as the center of much of the instruction.
Through the two years of study, a counselor from the Dental School faculty
is assigned the special duty of providing guidance and assistance with problems
relating to curriculum, course instruction, scholarship, personal and housing dif-
ficulties, etc. Selected members of the regular Dental School teaching staff with
special ability and interest in dental hygiene instruction are responsible for class-
room, laboratory, and clinic teaching.
Dental Hygiene Curriculum
THE TWO-YEAR CURRICULUM in dental hygiene offered by the Dental
School is planned to provide the professional education and training needed by the
dental hygienist for her specialized responsibilities in preventive dental health
service.
During the first year the emphasis is on standard college courses in the arts
and sciences. Preclinical instruction in dental prophylaxis begins, however, in the
second term, and actual clinical experience in the third term.
Courses in the arts and sciences continue in the second year; but major atten-
tion is given to clinical application of professional knowledge and skills. During
the spring term of the second year, the student receives field experience in dental
health education in the Portland public schools and in hospitals.
Since the function of the dental hygienist is the promotion of dental health,
emphasis is placed on the preventive aspects of dental prophylaxis, including diet
control and the topical application of sodium fluoride to children's teeth.
Since the dental hygienist's practice is closely coordinated with professional
dental practice, she must have a thorough understanding of the field of dentistry;
to insure such an understanding, the student is assigned observation periods in
the several clinical departments of the Dental School, including the operative,
prosthetic, child study, orthodontic, oral surgery, and anethesia clinics.
Scholarship regulations for dental hygiene students are the same as for den-
tal students (see page 28).
