CONDENSED HISTORY OH THE PHILADELPHIA DENTAL COLLEGE AND HOSPITAL OF ORAL SURGERY THK first institution established in Pennsylvania for the imjiartin of knowledge in the science and ait of dentistry was organized in 1852 under the title of Philadelphia College of Dental Surgery. After a useful but short life of four years, it yielded to the throes of internal dissensions and ceased to exist. In the fall of 1802, l)r. John H McQuillen, holding the chair of Operative Dentistry and Physiology iq the Pennsylvania College, retired from the Faculty, and in 1863, with the assistance of otlict members of the profession in the City and State, and after the expenditure of much effort and the overcoming of great opposition (for charters were not as readily obtained in those days as now) he succeeded in obtaining from the Legislature of Pennsylvania a charter for a new institution under the name of Philadelphia Dental College. After the securing of a competent Faculty and board of Trustees, the new institution opened its first term in November of the same year. Its faculty consisted of: Dr. J. II. McQuillen. Professor of Anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene. Dr J. Foster Flagg. Professor of Institutes of Dentistry. Dr c. A Kingsbury, Professor of Physiology and Operative Dentistry. Dr Thoma« Warded.
