()ne of the most recent advancements lias been the establishment of technic courses in the Freshman and Junior years, this being of a great advantage to the new student. The Philadelphia Dental College was the first to introduce into its curriculum a course of oral surgery, and the first to establish a hospital for the treatment of diseases of the oral cavity. Professor GarretsOn was first to introduce this, as a part of the dental curriculum. The Philadelphia Dental College in the many years of its existence has lost but six of its professors through death. These men were Dr. McQuillen. Dr. A. C. Kingsbury. Dr. Garret son. Dr. J. F. Flagg. Dr. H. IT. Burchard and Dr. H. C. Boenning. Fach of these was a master in the art of teaching. During its existence two changes of location have been made necessary by the growth of the college. I’pon 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 large 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 here ground was broken and the erection of a new building began. Tlic cornerstone was laid with Masonic ceremonies, January 13. [897. and the structure completed August. 1897. The building was opened for the fall term of September 1st. and formally dedicated on October 4th of the same year. In 1905. owing to the increase of hospital patients, a petition was made to the State Legislature for money to erect a new hospital building on the college campus. This was granted and the building, with its complete modem equipment and accommodation for 50 patients. is serving the worthy poor of the city and state with free medicine and surgical aid. I n honor of its founder the hospital has been named the t iarretson Hospital. S. IT. G.
