As early as January 3, 1916, the Board of Trustees appointed a Committee to investigate the possibility of securing for the college a university relation. Ever 51,2 since that day many obstacles had to be removed, so that such an affiliation could gig mi take place. A new era was soon to dawn and on the 12th day of March, 1925, a Lg merger with the New York University was consummated. The great benefits of gl ' this merger will soon be evident to the medical and dental professions and indi- ll E rectly to the laity. The merger will give to the dental college the assistance, facili- ji ties and cooperation of the medical school in furthering research and in teaching I 1 ' the basic sciences so necessary in preparing dental students. .

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 :,.

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.
