Q YY! Q 'ON' 1 3! Nw fm ww I N -9' - 'R , . 9 w University Dental College, which preceded North- western University' Dental School, was organized under a charter from the State of Illinois in 1887. i,VA .r'-L The first session was held in the winter of 1887- he iiiii 1888 with a class' of six students, the dental faculty consisting of VV. VV. Allport QEmeritusj, L. P. Haskell, R. P. Ludwig, John S. Marshall QDeanj, A. E. Baldwin, Charles P. Pruyn, C. R. Baker and Arthur B. Freeman. An agreement was effected between President 'Cummings of Northwestern University, Nathan S. -Davis, Dean of the Chicago. Medical College, and the faculty of the new dental college, by which its students should take lectures in anatomy, physiology,histology, materia medica, patho-logy and surgery with the medical classes, but this agreement involved no further con- nection with the medical college. Also, the connection with North- western University was nominal and prospective, the university assuming no responsibility for the denta.l college. The new college was lo-cated on Twenty-sixth Street, near the medical college. The students were required to take a course of three years, of seven months each, before graduation. This was the first dental college to make this requirement, and this fact operated very much against its success in obtaining students, so that its classes remained very' small, there being only eleven students at the end of the sec-ond year. VVith the beginning of the third yearthe three-year course was made optional, and the students were allowed to elect to take a two years' course. At the end of the fourth year the class numbered nineteen. The college could not continue to meet its expenses on the income derived from this number of students. and at the end of the year the faculty resigned, This was in the spring' of ISQI. ' 220
