MY ORIGINAL DENTAL SCHOOL APPLICATION
March 21, 1957
1O97
Denver Street
Salt Lake City, Utah 85502
Loyola School of Dentistry
University of Chicago Chicago,
Illinois
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, 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,
