After a useful lmt short life of four years, it yielded to internal dissensions and ceased to exist. In the fall of 1862 Dr. John M. McQuillen. holding the chair of Operative Dentistry and Physiology in the Pennsylvania College, retired from the faculty, and in 1863. with the assistance of other members of the profession in the city and State, after great expenditure and overcoming of great opposition, 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 Faculty and Board of Trustees, the new institution opened its first term in November of the same year. Its Faculty consisted of: Dr. J. H. 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. Thomas Warded. Professor of Mechanical Dentistry and Metallurgy. Dr. Henry A. Morton. A.M., Professor of Chemistry. Dr. McQuillen was elected Dean, and held that office continuously until his death. In 1865 Professors Kingsbury and Morton resigned and were succeeded by Dr. George W. Ellis and Alfred R. Leeds, A.M. In 1866 Professor Ellis resigned, and Professor Kingsbury resumed his former chair. In 1867 Professor Warded resigned, and Dr. D. D. Smith was elected to succeed him. The same year two new chairs were created, one of Principles and Practice of Surgery and the other of Anatomy. Dr. James E. Garrctson was chosen incumbent of the former, and Dr. Harrison Allen, of the latter. In the following year. 1868. Professors Garretson and Leeds resigned, and Dr. S. B. I lowed was elected to succeed Professor Leeds. In 1869 Professor Kingsbury resigned his chair and was made Emeritus Professor, and Dr. Thomas C Stellwagen was chosen his successor. In 1870 Professor Flagg resigned his chair. Thus far some change had taken place in the personnel of the Faculty each year but one. During the succeeding eight years no change occurred, but in 1878 Professor Garretson resumed his chair of Anatomy and Surgery, and Dr. Henry J. Dorr was made Adjunct Professor of Practical Dentistry. 12
