character. Each was a master in the art of teaching, and each, at the time of his death, was not only the Dean of the school but the most distinguished member of the Faculty. Dr. McQuillen was the founder of the school. He labored unceasingly for its proper establishment and then, through all the remaining years of his life, faithfully devoted himself to its development. Practice, comfort, health, and finally life, were sacrificed in order that the school which he loved might become a temple of knowledge worthy of the respect of all men. Dr. Garretson was as ambitious as his predecessor for the advancement of the institution with which he was connected, and for the true elevation of the profession he loved. He was a man among men, capable of inspiring in others the confidence he felt in himself, and by his council and acts and teachings stimulating those under his care to the attainment of all that is noble and best in life. This brief record would be incomplete without some reference to the third one of the Professors of our school, called hence by death. Prof. C. A. Kingsbury ably seconded the efforts of Prof. McQuillen in the establishment of the Philadelphia Dental College, and was a member of its first Faculty. He served the institution actively for six years, and then continued in the honorary position of “emeritus” until his death in September. 1891. He proved himself a competent and faithful teacher, and his love for the institution and devotion to its interests were manifested in a multitude of ways. During its existence two changes of location have been made necessary by the growth of the College. Upon its establishment it was located at the northwest corner of Tenth and Arch Streets. There it remained until 1887, when it removed to a new and larger building on Cherry Street, below Eighteenth. Outgrowing these quarters in the course of eight years, it was decided to purchase ground in a new locality and erect a large and commodious building adapted solely to its own educational purposes. In 1896 a suitable location was found at Eighteenth, Buttonwood and Hamilton Streets, and, after the preparation of satisfactory plans, ground was broken and the erection of the building begun. The corner stone was laid with Masonic ceremonies January 13, 1897, and the structure completed in August, 1S97. The building was open for the Fall Term on September 1st, and formally dedicated on October 4th. In honor of its founder, the hospital has been named the Garretson Hospital. It occupies a large portion of the first floor of the new building, and consists of a public ward with seven beds and a private ward with two. There are also a nurses' room, kitchen, a beautifully furnished bath-room and etherization and recovery rooms. 20
