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 organized to distribute
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.
The General Extension Division, representing all the institutions, has
headquarters in Portland and offices in Eugene, Corvallis, Ashland,
Monmouth, La Grande, and Salem.
Each of the institutions provides the general studies fundamental
to a well-rounded education. At Oregon College of Education, Southern
Oregon College, and Eastern Oregon College students may complete
major work in teacher education or in general studies or may enroll in
preprofessional programs.- Portland State College offers major work in
general studies and selected liberal arts and professional fields.
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. Maj or curricula, both liberal and
professional, are grouped 011 either campus in accordance with the dis-
tinctive functions of the respective institution 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, P.O. Box 5175,
Eugene, Oregon.

Facilities
History of the Dental School
THE DENTAL SCHOOL BUILDING is a reinforced concrete and steel struc-
tu.re of modern design, with approximately 130,000 square feet of floor space. It
Will accommodate 80 undergraduate dental students and 20 dental hygiene students
for each class, in addition to gradaute and postgraduate students.
.The floor levels ar~ ~~ follows: Basement-eafeteria. Ground fioor~ental
hY.!'lene, post~r~duate diVISIOn, orthodontic and pedodontic graduate departments,
chIld study chmc, department of illustration, cleft palate clinic, dental materials,
cu~ri~lum in close relation to the diagnostic and clinical application of the basic
prmClples learned.
. ~n the third and fourth years, intensive practice of specialized therapeutic tech-
mcs m 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.
!he program of the Dental School includes at present: (1) the undergraduate
curnculum for the training of capable practitioners of general dentistry, leading to
the ~egree of Doctor of Dental Medicine; (2) refresher courses to help graduatedentIst~ keep abreast of the new concepts and skills of the progressing science
o! dentIstry, and one-yea~ postgr.aduate courses in clinical areas, provided by spe-
Cial arrangement, for which certificates arc awarded upon successful completion .
(3) grad~ate programs in bacteriology, biochemistry, anatomy, oral pathology:
pedondontIcs, pharmacology, and physiology, leadipg 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 61). The Dental School is developing, in addition, a program of specialized
advanced study and research in dentistry, as a part of its program of graduate
study.
17HISTORY OF DENTAL SCHOOL
THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON DENTAL SCHOOL was established
through an act of the ~945 Oregon Legislature, which accepted the gift of the prop-
erty of the ~orth PaCific College of Oregon, located in Portland, and incorporated
the college mto the Oregon State System of Higher Education.
The. North P~cific 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-y~ar curriculum in dental hygiene was established in 1949. A graduate
program leadmg 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 C?f 19?6 the school moved into a new $2,200,000 building on the campus
of the Umverslty of Oregon Medical School.

The Dental School Program
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 DentalCorp~ 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) .w.ill-
ingness and ability to support high cultural, ethical, and moral values; (2) a hku~g
for people and for unselfish social service; (3) understanding of human and pubhc
relations; (4) administration and business ability; (5) a broad understandmg of
the socio-economic goals of the community and nation, especially as these relate to
the health of the American people.
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 intelli~ence 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
scientific and technical studies, which have been traditionally concentrated m the
so-called "preclinical" years, are placed strategically through the four years of the

Library
THE DENTAL SCHOOL LIBRARY contains 6,500 bound volumes, and cur-
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 weU 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 aU items is cost plus
a small markup 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) The student "instrument and supply issue" consisting of instruments and
supplies designated by the department in charge of teaching each course, must be
purchased from the student store, and paid for at the time of payment of fees. The
"instrument and supply issue" list includes the minimum materials needed by the
student to accomplish the laboratory exercises required in each of his courses.
Additional instruments and supplies, if desired by the student, may be purchased
from the student store or from any dental supply house.
(3) The store is open for the purchase of supplies on an announced schedule,
planned to meet student convenience.
(4) The store stocks only those items approved by the proper committees of
the Dental School, but will handle special orders on request.
Scholarships and Awards
State Scholarships. Under authorization from the Oregon Legislature, the
State Board of Higher Education awards annually a limited number of scholar-
ships to superior students who are residents of the state of Oregon. The scholar-
ships cover tiution and the laboratory and course fee; recipients must pay the

Admission and Requirements
Admission
IN SELECTING dental student candidates, the Admissions Committee takes
into account the following factors, in addition to the satisfactory completion of
minimum predental course requirements: (1) college grades; (2) amount of
college work completed; (3) aptitude-test results from both the American Dental
Association test and the Dental School test.
Consideration is also given to: personal factors revealed in interviews; geo-
graphical considerations (the Dental School recognizes that its primary obligation
is to provide an opportunity for dental education for residents of Oregon and, to
a lesser degree, for residents of the western states cooperating in the program of
the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education and for residents of
Hawaii and Alaska-only a limited number of applicants are accepted from other
parts of the United States or from foreign countries) ; and veteran status.
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. Some understanding may
be obtained by talking with dentists in the local community and by reading in the
professional journals. The following periodicals are recommended: Journal 0/
the American Dental Association, Journal 0/ 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 sci-
entific, technical, and clinical activity; and the point of view of the dental pro-
fession in regard to present-day socio-economic situations, affecting dental health
service.
Applicants for admission are required: (1) to participate in a two-day
orientation and aptitude-testing program administered by th~ Dental School in
Portland, and (2) to take an aptitude test administered by the Council on Dental
Education of the American Dental Association.* A college-transfer test ad-
ministered by the Educational Testing Service may be substituted for the A.D.A.
test only with the approval of the Admissions Committee.
Admission Requirements
The University of Oregon Dental School strongly recommends that pre-
dental students devote at least three years to their predental education. The
minimum period of predental studies is two years; but only those students who
have completed a two-year program with a superior grade-point average wil1 be
considered for admission to the Dental School. It is improbable that a student
with a grade-point average of less than 2.25 wil1 be accepted for admission. No
student with a predental grade-point averag'e of less than 2.00 should apply for
admission to the Dental School.
The Dental School requires, for admission, the completion of the following
courses offered at the University of Oregon (or their equivalents in courses of-
fered at other schools; students taking predental work at other institutions may
* Information concerning the A.D.A. testing program is contained in the A.D.A. Dental
Aptitude Manual for Dental School Applicants. A copy of this manual is sent to all applicants
who register for tbe A.D.A. Test.

check on equivalence by comparing the courses offered at their schools with the
descriptions published in the University of Oregon General Catalog):
English Composition (Wr 111, 112, 113).9 term hours.
General Chemistry (Ch 201, 202, 203; Ch 204, 205, 206), including qualitative
analysis and laboratory. 15 term hours.
Elementary Quantitatiz1e Analysis (Ch 320), with laboratory. 4 term hours.
Organic Chemistry (Ch 334, 335), with laboratory. 8 term hours.
General Biolom' (Bi 101, 102, 103), with laboratory. 12 term hours.
General Physics (Ph 201, 202, 203), with laboratory. 15 term hours.
The requirements listed above are included in the predental program offered
at the University of Oregon, and term hour totals are indicated accordingly. Stu-
dents in pre-dentistry at other institutions should keep in mind that course se-
quences may vary, with the result that the above total hours may not apply. In no
case will the Dental School consider accepting less than 12 hours in general chemis-
try and four hours in quantitative analysis, or 12 term hours in general physics.
Recommended Elective Subjects. The Dental School recommends that the
predental student, in addition to completing the basic requirements listed above,
choose electives which will broaden his cultural background as well as strengthen
his scientific training. Courses in the following fields are suggested: compara-
tive anatomy, vertebrate embryology, genetics, mathematics, foreign language
(completion of a second-year course), philosophy, public speaking, vocabulary
for scientists, music and art appreciation, history, economics, sociology, psy-
chology, literature, anthropology, and personnel management. Students are ad-
vised to explore their own interests and consult the catalogs of their institutions
for other courses which will help them obtain the best possible general cultural
education. The guidance of predental advisers in course planning is indispensible;
their counsel should be sought at regular intervals.
Students who plan to enter the Dental School before receiving a baccalaureate
degree should arrange their predental studies so that they may qualify for the
Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree after the completion of two years
of work at the Dental School. This will be possible only if they satisfy, in the
course of their predental program, all requirements of the degree-granting institu-
tion for the bachelor's degree, except certain upper-division major requirements
for which the institution may accept science courses taken as a part of the Dental
School curriculum. Students who intend to utilize Dental School courses in
earning their baccalaureate degrees are urged to consult their faculty advisers to
insure that all requirements for this degree are included in their predental
programs.
The University of Oregon accepts a maximum of 48 term hours of profes-
sional work in dentistry as work in residence for a bachelor's degree, and accepts
courses in the basic sciences, taken at the Dental School, toward the satisfaction of
major requirements in biology or general science. The student is advised to be-
come a candidate for a baccalaureate degree at the institution where he completed
his predental studies. However, a student who has completed a three-year pre-
dental program at an accredited college or university which does not accept Dental
School work toward course or major requirements may, in some cases, have his
credits transferred to and receive his degree from the University of Oregon.
Students who intend to utilize Dental School courses toward the satisfaction of
requirements for a baccalaureate degree are advised to consult their faculty
advisers to insure that their predental programs include all work required for
the degree.
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 2,1959, January 8,1960, and April 22, 1960.) The charge for theA.D.A.
test is $15.00.
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 pm-
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 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, provided there are other balancing factors.
The testing program extends through a three-day period in August and in
December during the Christmas vacation. 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. At the time he files his original applica-
tion form, the applicant should indicate at which testing period he will appear for
the Dental School orientation-aptitude program. Exact testing dates and further
information may be obtained by writing to the secretary of the Admissions Com-
mittee.
An interview will be scheduled for each applicant when he reserves a place in
the testing program. The time and place of the individual interviews will be an-
nounced during the aptitude testing program.
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 consid-
ered. A fee of $6.00 is charged to cover the cost of the program.
26 ADMISSION AND REQUIREMENTS ADMISSION 27
Waiver. If the applicant finds it is impossible by reason of geographical dis-
tance to appear in Portland for the aptitude testing and interview program, a writ-
ten request stating his reason for a waiver of this procedure should be addressed
to the Admissions Committee as early as possible. The committee may accept or
reject the request, and the applicant will be notified of its decision. It should be
noted that an application for admission will be considered incomplete unless the
Dental School Aptitude Test has been taken or officially waived.
Application Procedure
Application for admission to the Dental School should be addressed to the
secretary of the Admissions Committee 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
8ubmit 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 the 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
betore admission to the Deutal School; the statement should list specific courses, with the credit
which each carries.
(5) A personal letter, addressed to the Admissions Committtee, 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 {or a thorough evaluation of his credentials.
(6) A tentative budget for the four years at the Dental School, showing: available assets;
e..xpected annual income; anticipated expenditures for fees, equipment, supplies, and personal
aud livinl( expenses. In preparing this budget, the applicant should take account of the state-
Reference of costs on page 32 of this Catalog, and should be careful to list all actual assets.
Reterence IS always made to this budget when student finaucial problems are considered.
(7) A statement of the selective-service status of the applicant, incl uding 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.
When 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. See page :31 for information on refunds.
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 satisfactorily 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 1960 should be filed during the summer of 1959. 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 beginning its selection procedures, so that acceptable applicants with
all requirements fulfilled may be notified of committee action as soon as possible.
Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. Nonresident stu-
dents seeking certification under the provisions of the program of the Western
Interstate Commission for Higher Education should so notify the Dental School at
the time of application. Requests for certification should be addressed to the local
commission office 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 stat~ sponsoring the student.
Transfer Students
A student transferrin~ 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 forei~ 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. It is usually necessary for an applicant from a
foreign country to come to the Dental School for a six-week evaluation program
during the summer preceding the fall term in which he wishes to enter the school.
If a student elects to attend the summer evaluation program, or if instructed to
do so, he must not assume that participation in this program guarantees acceptance
for admission to the Dental School at any level in the curriculum. 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
students.
28 ADMISSION AND REQUIREMENTS SCHOLARSHIP REGULATIONS 29
Registration Procedure
THE FIRST TWO DAYS of the faU term are devoted to registration. At the
opening of the 1959-60 session, first-year students report for registration at 8:00
a.m. on Thursday, September 24; second-year students report at 1 :00 p.m. on
Thursday, September 24; third-year students report at 9 :00 a.m. on .Friday,
September 25; and fourth-year students report at 1 :00 p.m. on Friday, Sep-
tember 25. Since the registration schedule is very crowded, promptness in reporting
is essential. Notification concerning registration procedure is mailed to each stu-
dent 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 11, 1959) and the opening of the fall term (Sep-
tember 24, 1959) 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 Dental Association.
Grading System
Accomplishment by students in Dental School courses is ~raded in accordance
with the followin~ system: A, exceptional; B, superior; C, satisfactory; D, in-
ferior; I, incomplete; E, conditional; F, failure; W, withdrawal.
Faculty re~ulations governing marks of Incomplete, Condition, Withdrawal,
or Failure are as follows:
Incomplete. Work which has not been completed for just cause is given the
~rade 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. 'Vhen a further evaluation of a student's work is required, a grade
of Condition may be ~iven. The student has the opportunity of removin~ a Con-
dition' either by re-examination or by completion of special assignments covering
his deficiencies, or by both. D is the hi~hest ~rade that may be g-ranted on re-evalu-
ation. 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 stu-
dent and instructor.
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 ~rade of F will be given in every course in which the work was
fai1in~ 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 receives 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 student's 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 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 standin~ of all students, with recommendations for appropriate action in
cases of unsatisfactory scholarship.
To qualify for advancement or g-raduation, the student is required to maintain
a grade-point average of 2.00 for each year's work. For failure to maintain 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 fails to complete all unit and proficiency requirements
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
Regular Fees
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 schedule 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:
(~) A!1J: claim for refund must be made in writing before the close of the term in which
the c1aIlU_ onglnated: .
equivalent to a passing grade in the state didactic examinations. In these states
demonstration of clinical proficiency is usually the only additional requirement fo;
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 examination will be given in 1959-60 are December 5-6
1959 and March 28-29, 1960. '

31FEES AND EXPENSES
(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 norn1ally 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 relatives.
place of voting, ownership of property, source of financial support, record of employment and
schooling (intent cannot he demonstrated hy school attendance alone).
(2) A student whose official records show his own or his parent's domicile to be outside
of Oregon is prima facie 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 ""hool outside of Ore-
gon, he may be required to furnish further 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 paren1s' 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.
• This twelve·month period must inelude at least six consecutive months during which the
student was not enrolled for full.time work in a collegiate educational institution.
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.
The Registrar's Office is often notified of available housing near the Dental
School, and posts such lisings for the convenience of students. Students accepted
for admission to the Dental School are advised to arrange for housing before the
opening of the school year.
Deposit Refunds. The $25 entrance deposit, paid by the entering student on
acceptance of application for admission, applies on first-term fees. If the applicant
does not enter the Dental School, the deposit will he 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, (cta student paying part-time fees, (d) a
student whose parent is a regular employee of the Federal government stationed in
Oregon, (e) a student who has been a resident of Hawaii or Alaska for two years
immediately preceding admission to the Dental School, or (f) a student whose
father is domiciled in the state of Oregon as defined 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:
(2) Refunds in all cases are calculated from the date of application for refund and not
from the date when the student ceased attending classes, except in unusual cases when formal
withdrawal has been delayed through causes largely beyond the control of the student.

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 1959-60 total $201 per term for residents of Oregon
and $302 for nonresidents.
Special fees are fees paid under the special conditions indicated. Increases in
~osts of materials, supplies, and equipment may necessitate upward adjustments
111 the laboratory and course fees and in other incidental fees.
The Board of Rig-her 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:
32 ADMISSION AND REQUIREMENTS
Books, Equipment, and Supplies
The estimated cost of books, equipment, and supplies during the four years
of the dental curriculum is shown below: Curricula
* 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 cost 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.

Undergraduate Program
THE PURPOSE OF THE UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM leading to
the D.M.D. degrees 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 g-reater 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 "clin-
ical" 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 field 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.
The 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 and 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 allowed 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.

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.
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.
Graduate courses in the clinical fields are also open to graduate dentists preparing
for practice in the several specialties. 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 of the head of the Dental School
department concerned and the approval of the Graduate Committee and the dean
of the Dental School. Application forms are available at the Office of the Regis-
trar.
All applicants for admission to graduate study at the Dental School are re-
quired to take the Graduate Record Examination administered by the Educational
Testing Service. Application forms for this test may be obtained at the Registrar's
Office.
Acceptance of admission to graduate status is regarded as a declaration of
intent to complete a program of graduate study.
Standards of Perfonnance
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 student.
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.
(2) Dl4ration 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 IS credit hours in a minor of one or more related fields.
(b) The normal course load registration is IS 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 subject 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 in the basic sciences pay the following
regular fees:

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 has several phases:
(1) year-long- courses which meet once a month and have a membership organiza-
tion similar to a study club; (2) courses which vary in length from one day to
two weeks; (3) one-year full-time courses in certain fields, including periodontol-
ogy, pedodontics, oral surgery, and prosthetics.
Special facilities for postgraduate study include a fully equipped twelve-chair
postgraduate clinic, with an adjoining classroom; a laboratory adjacent to the
postgraduate clinic for casting, investing, and other clinical laboratory procedures,
and for instruction in dental techniques. The science laboratories, Library, and
other facilities of the Dental School are also available to postgraduate students.
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 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.
Information concerning the postgraduate schedule of courses will be pro-
vided, on request, by the Department of Postgraduate Education of the Dental
School.
A program for training of dental assistants has been organized by the depart-
ment of Postgraduate Education in cooperation with the American Dental Assist-
ants Association and the Portland Extension Center of the Oregon State System
of Higher Education. The requirements for certification as outlined by the Amer-
ican Dental Assistants Association are met by the course. It is composed of two
parts, one primarily theory and the other laboratory; The theory consists of 35
two-hour weekly evening meetings with a tuition of $50.00, while the laboratory
consists of 15 weekly meetings of two hours each with a tuition fee of $35.00.
For further information write the Department of Postgraduate Education of the
Dental School.

Graduate Program in Pedodontics
The graduate program in pedodontics is designed to provide training 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 and 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 asociated with the fields of investigation.
A final oral examination is conducted by the faculty of the Department of
Pedodontics and other qualified guest exanliners, selected by the head of the
department.

Special Programs
Informational Services
Orientation Program for High-School Students. A testing and orienta-
tion prORTam similar to the program for applicants for admission is available for
high-school students who wish to learn more about the dental profession and
about the abilities and skills required in the profession. The program is offered
once each year, about the middle of June, at the Dental School in Portland. Exact
testing dates and further information may be obtained by writing to the secretary
of the Admissions Committee.
The program places special emphasis on vocational guidance. Included are
discussions of academic preparation, types of professional service, and opportuni-
ties 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 obtained
from high-school principals or vocational counselors.
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.
Groups or individuals wishing to see the Dental School and its facilities are
always welcome. Arrangements for visits may be made through the Dean's Office.
Child Study Clinic
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 systematic 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 cephal-
ometer.
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 directed by an Advisory Cotmcil, listed on page 14.
[ 59]
60 SPECIAL PROGRAMS
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 prG-
fessions for study and research.
Cleft Palate Clinic
THE CLEFT PALATE CLINIC of the Dental School has been established,
in cooperation with the Crippled Childen'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 pa-
tient, and these records are evaluated to determine treatment required.
The patient's dentist, the physician staff 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, pedia-
tricians, pedodontists, speech pathologists and therapists, and medical social con-
sultants.
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. With rare exceptions, research is a requirement in
graduate programs leading to the M.S. degree.
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
THE DEPARTMENT OF ILLUSTRATION provides the Dental School with
audio-visual aids needed for the interpretation of the dental sciences in the school's
instructional and research programs-including photographs, i!1ustrations, motion
pictures, transparencies, and sound recordings. The department also provides
instruction in dental photography and illustration for undergraduate, graduate,
and postgraduate 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.
The major emphasis in the practice of dental hygiene is on the prevention of
dental diseases through such typical services as oral prophylaxis, topical applica-
tion of sodium fluoride to the teeth, and instruction of patients in the maintenance
of oral health.
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 ColIege 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 baccalaureate degree is not granted by the Dental School, but by the
institution at which the student takes the two additional years of study. The
student should consult her college adviser concerning institutional requirements.
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 dentist. 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 qualified dental hygien-
ists:
In a private dmtal 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.
[ 61 ]
62 DENTAL HYGIENE ADMISSION 63
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
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.
I t 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.
These tests are given during the months of October and February. Exact dates
may be obtained by writing to the Department of Dental Hygiene.
Except under special circumstances, only women over 18 years of age are
admitted. (Oregon law provides that the dental hygienist must be over the age of
20 years before he may be licensed to practice). A physical examination and an
interview are required of all applicants for admission to the dental hygiene
curriculum. If the applicant finds it impossible by reason of geographical distance
to appear in Portland for the interview, a written request for a waiver, stating
reasons, should be addressed to the Admissions Committee at as early a date as
possible. The committee will accept or reject the request, and notify the applicant
of its decision. It should be noted that an application is considered incomplete
without the interview or an official waiver. Transcripts of work completed in high
school or college should be sent direct from the school where work was completed
to the secretary of the Admissions Committee of the Dental School.
The Admissions Committee selects the entering class each year on a com-
petitive basis. The foIIowing 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) CoIIege or junior-coIIege work. Although not required for admission,
some coIIege or junior-college experience has been found to facilitate adjustment
to the professional curriculum in dental hygiene. Students planning to attend
college for a year or more before applying for admission to the dental hygiene
curriculum are urged to arrange, in consultation with their advisers, a program
which will satisfy requirements for a baccalaureate degree, in conjunction with
the dental hygiene program. Information concerning desirable courses may be
obtained from: Dl". Franklin B. Haar, professor of health education, University
of Oregon, Eugene; Dr. D. R. Malcolm, assistant professor of biology, Portland
State College, Portland; or Dr. A. W. Pritchard, assistant professor of zoology,
Oregon State College, Corvallis. Students attending other colleges or univer-
sities should consult their academic advisers. (See page 61 for information con-
cerning 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
Dther 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.
Admission Procedure. Formal application for admission to the dental hygiene
curriculum must be submitted not later than M'arch 1. The following credentials
must be submitted :
(1) Application on an official form, copies of which will be supplied on request by the
Dental School Registrar.
(2) A recent photograph, endorsed on the back with the name of the applicant and the
<late the photograph was taken.
(3) An official transcript of all high-school and college work completed at the time of appli-
cation. (If the applicant is still in high school, the transcript should cover oue-half of her
senior year's work.)
(4) A statement of high-school or college work in progress and of the courses the applicant
proposes to take before admission to the dental hygiene curriculum. (The statement should list
specific courses.)
(5) A personal letter, addressed to the Admissions Committee, stating in detail the reasons
why the applicant has chosen a dental hygiene career. (The letter should also include any other
information which the applicant considers important for a thorough evaluation of her credentials.)
(6) A tentative budget for the two years the student will spend at the Dental School,
showing: available assets; expected annual income; inticipated expenditures for fees, equipment)
supplies, and personal and living expenses. (In preparing this budget, the applicant should take
account of the statement of costs on page 32 of this Catalog, and should be careful to list all
actual assets.)
(7) The credit-evaluation fee of $5.00 (this fee is not refundable).
(8) The applicant's preference as to the date on which she wishes to participate in the
Aptitude Testing Program.
Application may be made after the completion of one-half of the student's
final yl!ar in high school or at any time during her current year of college attend-
ance. Since the laws of the state of Oregon require that dental hygienists must be
20 years of age before they can be licensed to practice, the applicant must reach
her eighteenth birthday by November 1 of tile year in which she desires to enter
the dental hygiene curriculum. 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 twenty 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. \Vith 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 requiremellt for admission to the dental hygiene program
at the Uni1Jersity 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 tests may be taken at the Dental School in October or February.
The exact dates may be obtained By writing to the Department of Dental Hygiene.
Applicants are not permitted to take the test more than once a year (for example,

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 standar'd college courses in the arts
and sciences. Preclinical instruction in dental prophylaxis begins, however, in the
first term, and actual clinical experience in the second term.
Courses in the arts and sciences continue in the second year; hut major atten-
tion is given to clinical application of professional knowledge and skills. During
the spring term of the second year, the student received 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 anesthesia clinics.
Scholarship regulations for dental hygiene students are the same as for dental
.students (see page 28).
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.
Facilities
THE FIRST TWO DAYS of the fall term are devoted to registration. At the
opening of the 1959-60 session, first-year dental hygiene students report at 8 :00
a.m. on Thursday, September 24, 1959, second-year students report at 1 :00 p.m.
on Thursday, September 24. Information on registration procedures is mailed to
each student before the opening of the session.
Registration
STUDENTS IN THE DENTAL HYGIENE CURRICULUM pay the same
regular fees as dental students: a total of $201.00 per term for residents of Ore-
gon or a total of $302.00 for nonresidents. For a detailed table of fees, see page 30.
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.
All books, supplies, and instruments are purchased from the student store. No
substitutions are permitted. 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-
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 school year.
The student's registration fees cover the cost of physical examinations,
diagnostic service, and emergency care through the Student Health Service. See
page 21.
Fees and Expenses
an applicant who is tested in October 1959 may not be tested again until Octoher
1960 or later). The February 1960 testing period is intended primarily for appli-
cants to the class entering in 1960, but 1961 applicants may register for this test-
ing period.
In order to allow sufficient time for processing, all applications for the apti-
tude test must be received by the American Dental Hygienists Association, 522
Fifth Ave., New York 36, N.Y., approximately two weeks before the testing
period. Applicants are asked to mail the application card, which may be obtained
from the Department of Dental Hygiene, and fee for the Aptitude Testing Pr~
gram direct to the American Dental Hygienists Association.
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.
