e. fv I 4 'T' 5 1lntrobuction W ' thigh , F ax I-IE Class of '98 sends greetings to its friends and to the world at large and hurls defiance at its enemies, not that it has enemies, for we have annihilated them, but nevertheless, it hurls. It has been asserted before V by every class from every college, that It, was the greatest class ever turned loose, which of course was but blatant boasting, because, it is, must be, perfectly evident to everybody that we are the greatest. Look at our achievements, and those you cannot find, in mercy's name, take on faith. Look at us! look well, and look again, are we not all we claim and not what an envious minority might have us. We are the sodium chloride of the dental universe! Our cheers are the jubilations of a hostg our discontent is the mutter- ing of the thunder, our assertion is the howling of the cyclone. With this modest introduction to our undeniably just claims and with this mild plea for attention, that had better be respect- ful, the Class of Classes, the P. D. C. of '98 introduces the first record of its bright life and marvelous labors in this class book. All who agree with and applaud us in our diffident introduc- tion, and who admire the Class Book, we unhesitatingly rank among those worthy of our distinguished approval, but to those ill disposed and narrow minded persons who hint at bombast and self assertion, we cast the anathemas of the eighth wonder of the world-the modest and retiring Ninety Eighter's.

ZOIIGQIISQG liiSI0l'V of the Plllldddpllld Dellfdl College alla BOSDUGI of 0l'dl SIIYQQW Nil A W' HE first institution established in Pennsylvania for l' the imparting of knowledge in the science and art ,A of dentistry, was organized in 1852 under the title in of the Philadelphia College of Dental Surgery. After a useful but short life of four years, it yielded to the throes of internal dissension and ceased to exist. In the Fall of 1862, Dr. John ll. McQuillen holding the chair of Operative Dentistry and Physiology in the Pennsylvania College, retired from the faculty, and in 1863, with tl1e assistance of other members of the profession in the city and state, and after the expenditure of much effort and the overcoming of great op- position Qfor charters were not as readily obtained in those days as nowj he succeeded in obtaining from the legislature of Pennsylvania a charter for a new institution under the name of the Philadelphia Dental College. After the securing of a competent Facility and Board of Trustees, the new institution opened its first term in November of the same year. Its faculty consisted of: Dr. I. H. McQuillen, Professor of Anatomy. Physiology and Hygiene. i Dr. I. Foster Flagg, Professor of Institutes of Dentistry. Dr. C. A. Kingsbury, Professor of Dental Physiology and Operative Dentistry. 13
