T II E RECORD I 9 1 8 Like the other schools, it has advanced from a two-year to a thr :c-year course, with supplemental spring courses, covering three months or more. From a yearly curriculum that required thirty-four lectures from each professor. it has advanced into one in which more than one hundred didactic lec tures are given annually by one incumbent of each chair. In addition to this, the Clinical facilities have been enlarged, thereby giving to the students opportunities which were undreamed of years ago. One of the most recent advancements has been the establishment of technic courses in the Freshman and Junior years, this being 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 disease of the oral cavity. Professor Garretson was first to introduce this as a part of the dental curriculum. '1'he Philadelphia Dental College, in the many years of its existence, has lost but six of its professors through death. These men were Dr. McOuillen. Dr. A. C. Kingsbury. Dr. Garretson, Dr. |. F. Flagg, Dr. H. II. 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. Upon 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 a 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. The cornerstone was laid with Masonic ceremonies, January 13. 1897. and the structure completed August. 1S97. 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. 'Phis 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. IT. G. 17
