The third year of the College is notable in that Dr. J. N. Hurty assumed the duties of the chair of chemistry, Dr. Henry jameson retiring. Dr. Hurty is therefore no-w in his twenty-third consecutive year of service in the College. At the close of the third year, fifteen students were gradu- ated and the College was firmly established, the two-year course still prevailing. C For several years the College pursued the even tenor of its way, gradually acquiring prestige and reputation. In 1887, when the National Association of Dental Faculties met in Washington, a representative from this College was present, and the College has always been a ,member in good standing 'in that 0-rganizatio-n. A 9 Beginning with the session o-f 1890-1891, Dr. A. C. Kimberlin took charge of the teaching of anatomy, in place of Dr. J. H. Oliver. So that this is Dr. Kimber'lin's four- teenth year of service in the College. The following year, the chair of materia medica and therapeutics, defunct for several years., was revived and Dr. George Edwin Hunt was elected by the trustees- as professor o-f that branch. This is his thirteenth year of service, therefore. In the following year pathology was added to his duties, and in 1899 he took up the work o-f operative dentistry. I The freshman class of 1890-1891 was the first under the three-year rule and beginning with the session o-f 1893- 1894, a seven months' session was held, six months having been the rule up to that time. p During the summer of 1894 the present Co-llege building was erected and the session of 1894-1895 was held therein. In the spring of 1895 Dr. Hunt was elected Secretary of the Board of Trustees and executive head of the Faculty, a position he still holds. In 1899 the office of Dean of the Faculty was created, and since that year he has acted in that capacity. I ' In the spring of 1896, the University of Indianapolis was organized by the affiliation of four existing colleges. It is hoped that this- coalition will so-me day lead to the establishment of a great university at Indianapolis. The 'mlb

As there were only three students the first year, it did not swell the med- ical classes much to admit them. The first year of its existence the College occupied eight rooms in the Thorpe Block, a building still standing at 147 East Market Street, next to the corner of Delaware, on the south side of the street. Pupils who had had live years' pupilage in the oflice of a competent practitioner, whatever that may mean, were admitted to the senior class, and only required to attend one session of five months before coming up for gradua- tion. The three members of the first class, in the winter of 1879-1880, having had the necessary live years of pupil- age were all graduated. Pupils who had had two or more years of pupilage in the oflice of a competent practitioner might take an examination, which, if passed, would admit them to the senior class. All others were required to enter the junior class, with two sessions of five months each be- fore them. And with these rather primitive conditions, the College did its first year's work. None of the members of Jgn51nuw:: ' that first faculty are now co-nnected with the College. Many are long since dead, others are no longer living here. The first professor of mechanical dentistry and metallurgy was Joseph Richardson, author of' Richard's Mechanical Den- tistry, the standard text-book o-n that subject for many years. Dr. Thomas Hacker was assistant to Dr. Richard- son for three- years, ultimately succeeding him in the Pro- fessorship, a position he held for many years. When the Collegewas established it was believed that it would draw its students almost exclusively from Indiana. This was early proven to be a' mistaken diagnosis, for of the ten graduates. o-f the second year, two were from far-off Mississippi, o-ne from Michigan, one from New York, one from Wisconsin, one from Illino-is and four from Indiana. This second year, and for many years thereafter, the College occupied the third and fourth fioors of the Etna Block, on the southeast' corner of Pennsylvania street and the Hrst alley north o-f Washington, known as Court street. I-Iere the College had room enough for its own chemical laboratory and dissecting room, and the hospitality of the first yea The I-Iurty ai I-Ienry I his twent At the ci ated and course st For s its way, 1887, wl met in ' was pres' good stan Begir Kimberli of Dr. teenth ye the chair ,R H b ,,,,-,X 'YI' .

The iarognosiz z glnniana Dental QIDIIBQB. 1 1904 Qnmtal four institutions at present representing the -University are Butler College, the liberal arts department 5 the Medical College of Indiana, department of medicine, the Indiana Dental College, department of dental surgery, and the Indiana Law School, department of law. In the fall of 1896 Dr. Frank A. Morrison took the chair of Physiology, and the following year Dr. Byram began as technic teacher in the College. Dr. Jackson be- came connected with the teaching staff in 1901. The Indiana Dental College has nearly eight hundred graduates. These are scattered over the civilized world. At present, diplomas from this College are hanging on the walls of offices in Canada, England, Germany, Persia, Japan, Brazil, Alaska, Cuba, China, the Philippines and a large majority of the United States. In the spring of IQOI, we graduated a native born Persian, John Sergis, at present located in Oroomiah, Persia, a native born Jap, Seimaro Kubota, at present practicing in Tokio, Japan, and a native born German, Gustav Krumme, located here in Indianapolis. In 1899 we graduated Samuel Ordetx, a E.. 8. native Cuban, at. present practicing 'in Cienfuegos, Cuba. The Indiana Dental College draws more students from other states and from foreign countries than any dental college of its size in a city the size of Indianapolis. In fact, exceptingifour or 'five of the very large colleges located in large centers of population,-like Chicago or Philadelphia, no college in the country .has a student body composed of residents of as many different states. This is due largely to the loyalty of our -graduates. I-Iaving obtained their dental education here and practicing as they are under a diplo-ma of this school, they send students tous, realizing that the better school we have, the more honored and hon- o-rable is the diploma they hold. A In the class of.1888 was graduated Dr, -Robert T. Oliver, formerly of this city. Dr. Oliver was connected with the College for- several years as pro-fessor of prosthetic den- tistry and, later, oral surgery. In 1901, when a bill was passed by Congress creating an army dental corps, three men were to be selected as Supervisors.
