A course in metallurgy, treating of the reduction of metals from the ores, manipulation, characteristics, etc., with fullest consideration of those metals most used in dentistry will be given the latter part of the year.

Practical instruction in the making of plate-solders, alloys, etc., will be given.

Special instruction will be given in the use of continuous gum, gold and the metallic plastics and the mechanical treatment of cleft-palate.

DENTAL ANATOMY.

Freshman Year.

The shapes and forms of the human teeth will be carefully studied in lectures and recitations from the text-book on this subject.

Students will also make sections of fully developed teeth, and study them under the microscope, and make drawings of the same. Osseous tissues will also be studied in a similar manner.

In the study of dental anatomy the teeth of the vertebrate animals, beginning with the simplest forms, as shown in the horn-like teeth of the lamprey, and the peculiarities of form, structure, methods of attachment and succession in the teeth of fish in general will be fully considered.

Next will be taken up the increasing complexity of the dental apparatus of the teeth of reptiles. The structure, and peculiarities in the manner of replacement of the teeth in the crocodilia, poisonous and non-poisonous snakes will also be presented.

The study is carried still further in the consideration of the more specialized and highly complex teeth of mammals, particularly noting the primitive patterns of the teeth of the marsupalia, the rudimentary teeth of the cetacea, edentata and sirenea, tracing specialization and complexity through the carnivora, chiropteria, insectivora, ungulata, rodentia and proboscidea, finally giving a most thorough and complete consideration of the teeth of primates.

The subject will be treated in a complete course of lectures fully illustrated by the stereopticon, together with a large collection of crania of the lower animals and man, and by lessons and recitations from the text book adopted on this subject.

ORTHODONTIA.
Senior Year.

A full course of lectures is given in which all classes of irregularities are considered and the probable causes fully discussed, together with a careful consideration of methods of treatment.

Students are taught to take impressions and make casts of cases of irregularity, and to construct all of the more important appliances and adjust them to models.

In addition to lectures and technical work special time is devoted each week, during which students are required to treat practical cases from beginning to completion under the immediate supervision of the professor of this department.

These clinics are of great interest and a large number of patients are treated annually.

EMBRYOLOGY.

Freshman Year.

A special course of twelve lectures will be given on embryology, and fully illustrates by photo-micrographs, which will be thrown on the screen by aid of the stereopticon. This course is introductory to the subjects of anatomy, physiology and histology, and will consist of a full consideration of the following subjects: A general study in the development of the chick and other embryos, the theory of reproduction, ova, spermatozoa, segmentation and the development of the three layers of the blastoderm, cellular morphology, including a comparative study in the biological cell and the nature of protoplasm, a comparative study in blood corpuscles and development of the blood, with a full consideration of the function of the third-blood corpuscle; the products of the epiblast, including the development of hair, nails, horns, hoofs, sudoriferous and sudoporus glands, and the enamel organ of the teeth.

The products of the mesoblast, showing the development of the connective tissue group, including the subject of calcification of bone, dentine and enamel-illustrative of the latter, many slides will be used in the comparative study of hard tissues, and lastly, the development of the teeth will be fully considered by aid of a full line of photo-micrographs from human, porcine and other embryos.

DENTAL PATHOLOGY.

Junior Year.

The teaching in this department will begin with a consideration of the terminology belonging to the subject, followed by a full presentation of lesions of the vascular system; inflammation, local and general; the causes that lead to decay of the teeth and nature of the process; the food and other habits of different nations in relation to the etiology of decay, also pathological dentition, Pyorrhoea alveolaris, pulpitis, pulp nodules, secondary dentine, periodontis, alveolar abscess, caries of the jaw and necrosis, dependent upon a diseased condition of the teeth. The lantern will be used frequently in illustrating these lectures. ORAL SURGERY AND HYGIENE. Senior Year.

The subject of oral surgery will be taught clinically and didactically. The large amount of clinical material presenting

at the infirmary, furnishes ample opportunity for practical demonstration. Students are required to take charge of cases and carry them through under the advice of the professor in charge. Anæsthetics are administered in the clinic and full instruction by thoroughly competent instructors as to the methods of examining the patients, and the use of ether and gas is given. The members of the senior class are permitted, under direction, to administer and extract under anæsthetics. The didactic lectures will include a full consideration of all the surgical lesions of the oral cavity and associate parts, including oral tumors and the reflex neuroses connected with the fifth pair of nerves; necrosis and caries, fracture of the maxillae, cleft palate and hare lip. In the study of hygiene, personal and office, the latest modern appliances will be used, a fully equipped bacteriological laboratory having been established for this department. The importance of this step cannot be overestimated when it is understood that decay of the teeth, suppuration of the pulp and other tissues, alveolar abscess, pyorrhoea alveolaris, and perhaps other of the diseases of the teeth and associate parts with which dentists have to deal are the direct result of unhygienic conditions of the oral cavity. Full practical instruction in the process of fermentation, suppuration and infection in general will be provided. The student will be made conversant with the modes of cultivating germs and the matter of their growth; methods of disinfection and antisepsis to be used in the oral cavity. The care of instruments and the danger of infection by their use when not kept in an aseptic condition will be fully dwelt upon.

PRELIMINARY COURSE.

Optional.

The requirements for admission to the preliminary course are properly certified marks from some school or a written examination in arithmetic complete, English grammar, U. S. History to the close of the Revolutionary war. Proper substitutes for the above will be allowed.

The course is especially adapted to the needs of ladies who desire to enter the dental department and who have not had an opportunity for instruction in manual training. One of the requirements for graduation is that the candidate shall be upwards of twenty-one years of age. If the student intends to pursue a continuous course of study, he must be at least eighteen years of age when presenting for matriculation, whereas, if the preliminary course is taken he may be admitted at seventeen and begin his special training at once, instead of spending the time in an office or in desultory reading, as is often done.

The manual training part will be thorough, and will have a

direct dental tendency. In this respect it is better suited to the needs of dental students than the manual training departments of high schools. It is however, advised that the student take both, if the time and means are available.

Arrangements have been made with the Minneapolis Academy, a preparatory school for the University, situated within easy reach of the college, to give instruction in English composition, physics and algebra. A course in medical and pharmaceutical Latin is also provided in the regular course in the college of medicine and surgery. In addition to these the student may take such other studies as he can find time for. The following courses are provided:

DENTAL ANATOMY.

The shapes and forms of the human teeth will be carefully studied in lectures and recitations from the text book on this subject. (See freshman course, page 210.)

PROSTHETIC TECHNICS.

Beginning with the impression the student will be taught by practical demonstrations the process of making a set of teeth, and will be required to practice until he is able to take an accurate impression of any ordinary mouth, and to carry through to completion two cases in vulcanite, one with plain teeth and the other with gum sections.

This course in technics will be sufficiently complete to give the student a thorough insight into laboratory practice and fit him, at the end of the year, to take charge of patients under the supervision of the demonstrator in charge.

REGISTRATION.

Registration and entrance examination for the preliminary course will be held in the Academy building, corner of Harvard and Delaware streets southeast, on the Interurban line, at 9:00 A. M., September 4th, 1893. Students are urged to be present at the opening of the session, although they may enter at any time up to January. The course in prosthetic technics begins in the medical college building October 18, 1893.

LABORATORIES.

Many of the laboratory courses are held in the afternoon. These are also open to preliminary and University students who may anticipate the regular work without interfering with their studies.

CLINICAL INSTRUCTION.

Clinical instruction will embrace all practical subjects relating to dentistry.

The large amount of clinical material presenting at the infirmary, furnishes ample opportunity for practical demonstration. Students are required to take charge of cases and carry them through under the advice of the professor in charge. Anæsthetics are administered in the clinic and full instruction in the use of ether and gas is given. The members of the senior class are permitted, under direction, to administer and extract under anæsthesia.

The Infirmary and Mechanical Laboratory will be opened September 4th, at which time students may enter and make up conditions or do advanced work that will be counted on the regular term work.

INSTRUMENTS.

Students will be required to furnish their own tools and instruments for both laboratory and operating room, except extracting instruments, lathes, furnaces, and vulcanizers. Also a suitable case in which to keep them.
