News Release: Loyola University to Phase Out Its Dental School (detail)
Description
This detail from the first page of a 4-page press release announces that the Board of Trustees of Loyola University Chicago has decided to close the School of Dentistry in one year, June 1993. The reasons included "the continuing decline in the number of qualified applicants along with rising costs and losses associated with dental education, a situation faced by private dental schools across the nation." As Loyola president Raymond Baumhart, S.J. said, "The very positive advances made in dentistry over the past decades that have markedly reduced the prevalence and extent of dental cavities have unfortunately had an adverse effect on dental education [...] Unlike the past, fewe dentists are required to care for the population."
