The years which have passed in the present location have been of such advantage to the college that the wisdom of the Faculty in making the change has been shown beyond doubt, and the world-wide fame of the institution and her corps of teachers has placed her in the first ranks as an educational institution. The list of alumni who have passed out of her halls is larger than that of any other dental college in the world, numbering over 2,700, and comprising many of the leading men in the profession. Of her alumni one hundred and twelve have been women. Although third in order of organization in this country, her singleness of purpose in dental education lias stamped her as the leading institution, and one whose consistent and unsullied record can be regarded with just pride by her graduates. Thus the college lias grown. Breathing her first breath amid troublous scenes, she has expanded and developed as each new requirement became apparent. From the first she has not forgotten her motto, “A dental education along ethical lines;” and to-day her sons arise from every clime to call her blessed. During the next session (1905-1906) she will have the honor of celebrating her golden jubilee, the fiftieth anniversary of her incorporation, at which time appropriate exercises will call to mind the epochs of her existence, and the great strides made in the dental profession, from the days of infancy to this age of a broad and far-reaching science. “These grounds, these halls, we know so well, our home. Part of the light that shows us all we see; Part of our lives and we a part of hers; A name? A hope? I know not; yet we love.” BOARD OF I. Minis Hays, M. D........ Joseph Pettit, M. D., D. D. S.

room and better accommodations be provided and, therefore, the college was moved to a new location on the southeast comer of Tenth and Arch Streets, of which building it occupied the second, third and fourth floors, until the close of the session of 1877-78. At the close of this session another reorganization of the Faculty occurred, and the new men elected to the various chairs were: J. Ewing Mears, A. M., M. D., Professor of Anatomy and Surgery: Wilbur F. Litch, M. D., D. D. S., Professor of Prosthetic Dentistry and Therapeutics; Henry C. Chapman, M. D., Professor of Physiology and General Pathology. Dr. Buckingham and Dr. Pierce were retained in their former positions. But more room again became a necessity, and a much larger building at the northwest comer of Twelfth and Filbert Streets was secured, making available in the second, third, fourth and fifth stories of this building more than double the former space for lecture rooms, operating rooms and laboratories. After the session of 1883-84 a slight change in the Faculty was made, Henry LcfTmann. M. D.. D. D. S.. succeeding Dr. Buckingham as Professor of Chemistry and Metallurgy, and Albert P. Brubaker. M. D., D. I). S., taking the chair of Physiology and General Pathology. Owing to the rapid evolution of dental science, still higher educational standards were required and greater facilities demanded. These requirements, together with radical changes in the length of the college term, made it again obligatory upon the Faculty to seek for better accommodations, and as the outcome the present site on the northeast comer of Eleventh and Clinton Streets was purchased, and a new and commodious college building was erected thereon, being first occupied at the close of the session of 1892-93. Early in 1898 the chairs of Dental Anatomy. Dental Histology and Prosthetic Technics, and that of Clinical Dentistry and Oral Pathology were established, I. Norman Broomell, D. D. S.. and Geo. W. Warren, D. D. S., being elected to the respective chairs. Dr. J. Ewing Mears retired from the chair of Anatomy and Surgery at the close of the session of 1899, and the professorship was divided, the chairs of Anatomy and Surgical Pathology and Oral Surgery being created. Percival E. Loder, M. D., D. D. S., was elected to the former, and W. J. Roe, M. D., D. D. S., to the latter. At the close of the session of 1900, Dr, Henry LefTmann. long occupying the chair of Chemistry and Metallurgy, retired, and J. Bird Moyer, B. S.. Ph. D., was elected to fill the vacancy. From the spring of 1878 to the present time the career of the college has been one of continued prosperity, the number of students increasing steadily, and each year recording some important extension of the college curriculum. Previous to 1878 the annual list of matriculates had not exceeded seventy in number; this year will see graduated from the college a class of over one hundred.
