In the selection of DR.. Fegan as COM
mencement speaker recognition has
been given by Rev. DR.. w. Coleman
Nevtlls, president of Georgetown, to one
closely identified with the university,
not only as a member of the law
faculty for 18 years but also as
graduate Of the college and the law
school.
DR.. Fegan, a native of this city, has
been an active officer OF the alumni as
ISOLATION and member of the athletic
advisory committee OF the university:
| Graduating from Georgetown College
in 1902, he entered the law school, from
which he was graduated in the class of
1907, after earning q master of arts
degree. Again, In 1916, the university
bestowed upon him a doctorate of phil
osophy.

| SCIlUOI lie SGINCu DIS doStSJdIG
of the Department of Agriculture until
: 1911 and then as a special attorney in
the Treasury Department until the out
break Of the World War, during which
/ he served as captain in the Judge
advocate generals department.
DIR. Pegan's connection with the
Georgetown faculty dates from 1911,
when he became secretary and assistant
| professor at the Law School. Begin
ming with 1919, he became a full-time

Association, and recently was made a
life member Of the American Law In
stitute.
For the first time in a number of
years no honorary degrees will be be-
slowed by the university at its June
commencement. This was deemed adj
visable owing to the fact that the uni
versity already has awarded more than
its usual number of degrees at the in
stallation Of Rev. DR.. Nevis last Fall,
and also at the tenth anniversary of
the founding of the School Of Foreign
Service.
DR.. Nevis, who viii preside over his

William N. Cogan of dentistry that the !
Dental School Is contemplating includ-
ing course in dental hygiene in its
curriculum next October There have |
been many inquiries at the school con-
corning the Inauguration of such a
course and since such interest Is mani
fest the authorities have deemed it adj
viSahle to give 1t their serious considera-
ton. A committee has been appointed
to outline the course and is expected
to make an early report. !
The Dean Cogan Dental Society has |
been active recently with papers on
various dental subjects prepared by the
students. These are read at the society |
meetings and discussed by the faculty
and the students. Much benefit Is de-
rived from these informal discussions
which engender initiative in the stu
dent himself.
The dental clinic at Georgetown Uni
versity Hospital inaugurated for the
parochial school children of the Dis
trict, Is continuing its work with great
success Members of the faculty are
conducting the clinic and are rendering
also much help in educating the chill
dren' IN the proper care OF the mouth. l.
Many students at the Dental School
are already preparing work to be placed
on exhibit at the national convention of
the American Dental Association to be
held the week of October z in Wash
ington. While here the leaders of the
dental profession will make an inSpec-
ton Of the new school which will then
be nearly ready for occupancy and the
work Of the students in their laboratory.
Competition Is keen among the stu
dents to have their work placed among
the exhibits.
