Dental School Application
March 21, 1957
1245 Denver Street
Salt Lake City, Utah 85502
Loyola Dental University of Chicago
Gentlemen:
I am extremely interested in entering dental school in the fall of 1957. In my previous three years of
college I was careful in selecting classes to satisfy the pre-dental requirement of your school. I will
graduate from the University of Utah with a Bachelor’s Degree in chemistry June 1957.
I suddenly became interested in dentistry at the time I started college. Almost from the first
moment, nothing was more fascinating and marvelous than the way in which my mind advanced from
weakness to power, from clumsiness to accuracy, from the limited to the embracing view. With this
array of mental development and my very dexterous hands, I knew that no matter how complex the
problems, I would eventually become a quality dentist.
My schooling will be financed by mother and my summer earnings. Realizing that school will be
expensive, I have agreed, upon my uncle’s insistence, to accept money from him if necessary. Also my
brother-in-law, Dr. M.L. Coburn, is a graduate of Loyola class of ’53 has offered his assistance.
If you find my qualifications acceptable, I am certain I will pursue the full four years of dental school
with devoted concentration. Along with the will to learn and the ambition to become a dentist, I will live
and support the high cultural, ethical and moral values of the Loyola Dental University.
Sincerely,
