merit of disease of the oral cavity. Professor iarrctson 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. McQuillcn, Dr. A. C. Kingsbury, Dr. Garretson, Dr. J. F. Flagg. Dr. 11. 11. Burchard and Dr. H. C. Boenning Each 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. Upon its establishment, it was located at the Northwest corner of 1 enth 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 a ground in a new locality and erect a large and commodious building, adapted solely to its own educational purposes. In 18%. a suitable location was found at Eighteenth. Buttonwood and Hamilton Streets, and here ground was broken and the erection of a new building began. The cornerstone was laid with Masonic ceremonies, January 13. ISO , 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 modern equipment and accommodation for 50 patients, is serving the worthy poor of the city and State with free medical and surgical aid. In honor of its founder, the hospital has been named the Garretson Hospital. S. H. G. 15
