I-521157 1 -THE EIXTIZIZNI umgwv I 32111312 3 The P. G. C. and G. E. Hunt Society VERY student who has attended the Indiana Dental Col- lege since 1896 knows the purposes and accomplishments of the P. G. C. Hunt Society. This society, founded by E the class of 1899, was named in honor of that eminent S dentist, Dr. P. G. C. Hunt, and of his worthy and emi- my . nent son, Dr. George Edwin Hunt, whose name we have now associated with his father's in the society. We give the fol- lowing brief biography of these men to whom our college and the profession of dentistry owe so much. About the year 1812 a young surveyor and his wife moved from North Carolina, where they had been married two years before, to Champaign County, Ohio, near Urbana. Here on a farm P. G. C. Hunt, the youngest of a family of six, was born june 16, 1827. Six years later his father died of smallpox and the mother removed with her children to West Liberty, near Knightstown, Henry County, Indiana. Young Phineas George worked on his uncle's farm at West Liberty during the summer and attended school in Wayne County, near Richmond, Indiana, during the winter. When he was seventeen years of age, David Picket Hunt, an elder brother, who had studied dentistry with Dr. Harding at Lexington, Ky., located in Indianapolis, being the second dentist to select that village for resi- dence. This was in 1846. Young Hunt became a student in the office of his brother and when two years later the brother died, P. G. C. Hunt, barely of age, found the duties and responsibilities of a full practice thrust upon his shoulders. .In October, 1884, Dr. P. G. C. Hunt married Hanna Mary Phipps. His practice of dentistry grew apace and he was early recognized as a leader in his profession. In these early days he fashioned many of his instruments. The blacksmith shop in which he forged and finished his instruments stood on the Circle, now Monument Place. In September, 1858, he took an active part in the organization of the State Dental Association and a year later he is credited with devising the method of attaching porcelain to a metallic base with rubber or celluloid fRichardson's mechanical den- tistry J. In the same year he attended a preliminary meeting to con- sider the organization of a National Dental Association, and was present at the first session of the American Dental Association held at Washington, D. C. He was an active member of this association until his death, holding the president's chair in 1872. He originated the small articulator for crown and bridge work, as well as many other useful operating instruments. In 1861 he was elected presi- dent of the Indiana State Dental Association, holding that oflice until 1864, in which year, on April 29, at Washington and Oriental streets, our own beloved preceptor, the late Dr. George Edwin Hunt, was born. In 1869 the Indiana Medical College conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of Medicine upon P. G. C. Hunt. In 1870 the Ohio College of Dental Surgery similarly honored him with the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery. The first law to regulate the practice of dentistry was passed during the winter of 1878-1879, and provided for a board of five examiners to be elected by the State Dental Association. On the last Tuesday in June,'1879, the first meeting of the board occurred and was duly organized with the election of Dr. P. G. C. Hunt as president, which position he held by re-election continuously until
