The Ohio College of Dental Surgery g3: HE OHIO COLLEGE OF DENTAL SURGERY was established in Cincinnati in 1845! largely through the eHbrts of the late Dr. James Taylor, its first president. Founded at that time, it became the pioneer of Dentistry in the west, and Was the second College of Dentistry established in the world. Early in its history, the College erected its own building on College street, which it occupied continuously for nearly halfa century, sending out each year men who became pioneers and teachers of Dentistry in this and other countries. It has conferred the degree of Dentistry upon nearly 2,000 persons. In 1895 it was decided the College had outgrown its old quarters, and the school was moved to its present buining on Central avenue and Court street. In 1888 the College was afhliated with the University OF Cincinnati, assuming, in actdition to its old name that of the Dental Department of the University of Cincinnati. The Collegeis co-educational, having in I865 conferred the degree upon the first woman graduated of Dentistry. The College is situated in the center of' a densely peopled city, drawing from a population of more than half a million people for its clinical material. The clinics are made a feature of the College teaching, and the careful supervision which they have received For many years gives an inhrmary practice not surpassed anywhere in the country. The building occupies a prominent corner, ninety by one hundred feet, in a city of the first class, to which a large student population is attracted each year by the reputation of its professional schools.
