The lectures on the fundamental departments of medicine are X specially directed to the needs of the dental surgeon. l From 1866 to 1891 the college premises only admitted of educational work , by didactic lectures, clinics and inflrmary practice. In 1891, when the college E moved to its present building the faculty were enabled to progressively fit up lab- E S ' : oratories for practical work.

E These requirements were rigidly enforced when, in 1897-98, the first-year ,ii E , 5 classmen numbered but fifty-eight instead of the usual previous classes of one Sf ? VI Q -E hundred or more. This small first-year class of 1897-98 brought the question of 1 E : : 5-E 512 preliminary education to a crisis-the same conditions existed in the other dental institutions of the State--and the Regents reduced the preliminary educational :,. E ' requirements for the Dental Student Certificate to three years of high school, or ki I : glx 36 academic countsg subsequently adding the proviso that a student not holding his 36 counts at the commencement of his second lecture session could enter the same and also his third session and take the graduation examinations at the close i 'A of his third session, his degree and also his admission to the license examinations L s E :E 1 5 l Q being withheld until two years after the obtaining of the last of his required aca- - : ..- P it l E 2 E demic counts. . 5.-E :E 2 335 During the session of the Legislature of 1901 a bill was presented without Li: 5'-bi the previous knowledge of the Regents' office or the dental institutions of the - E - E Fl! :: 2 E am: L., State-containing the provision of the immediate requirement of a preliminary --1- . . . . .

The New York College of Dentistry and University of Buffalo Dental Department with the co-operation of the Regents' office opposed the bill., because of the abruptness of the transition from SUE 36 to 48 counts, with the result of the postponement until January 1, 1905, for E3 Q. the preliminary educational requirement equivalent to four years of high school, or FL! 48 academic counts, to go into effect.
