Kingsbury ably seconded the ertorts of Prof. McQuillen in the establishment of the Philadelphia Dental College, and was a member ot its tirst Faculty. He served the institution actively for six years, and then continued in the honorary position ot Emeritus” until his death in September, 1891. He proved himself a competent aud 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 ot the College. Upon its establishment it was located at the nortwest 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 comer stone was laid with Masonic ceremonies January nth 1897. and the structure completed in August, 1897. The building was opened for the Fall Term on September tst, 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 tirst floor of the now building, and consists of a public ward with seven beds and a private ward with two. There are also a nurse's room, kitchen, a beautifully furnished bath room, and etherization and recovery rooms. 19
