Expansion for the Dental School would therefore imply, in addition to added staff and equipment, new construction to accommodate the needs of an appreciably larger amount of students. This might possibly correspond to an increase in Medical School enrollment, but at the present time the Medical School is more concerned with bringing itself up to date than with expansion, so it would appear that growth in the Dental School will not take place in the near future.

One aspect of the Dental School's planning for the future shows every sign of coming into realization over the next five or six years. A new program of post-graduate study, designed to produce a small group of clinical scholars, has been set up in collaboration with the Mass. General Hospital, the Children's Medical Center and the Forsyth Dental Infirmary. Many of them will be heading for higher academic posts in education and will become the leading researchers in the field of dentistry.

Housing Troubles

At the present time, one man has embarked upon a course of post-graduate study, and Dean Greep hopes to see this figure rise gradually over the next few years to about ten. These men will work with a professor who is engaged in some area of research fundamental to dentistry, will work in the School's teaching program, and will handle advanced clinical cases within general dentistry of a specialized field thereof.

The last problem which the graduate schools must cope with is that of housing for its students, and in many ways this is the most significant one with which they must concern themselves. The Dental School is largely free from the housing problem because of its very small size, but the Medical School and the School of Public Health are very much entangled in its many different aspects.

The School of Public Health has about one-third of its students which come each year from foreign countries. Since there is no school dormitory of any sort these people must look for apartments in the neighborhood of the School. These students form their impression of the United5Old man and dentist-to-be in the Dental School clinic. The School's facilities are perfect for its present enrollment, but it hopes to expand.
