ithin the next year, students of Temple University School of Dentistry will pursue their course of study in the new school.'' The fulfillment of this, the most advanced institution of its type, is a culmination of many years of longing and cognizance of the need of a new physical plant. However, time showed that more than desire was necessary for the achievement. Realizing this. Dr. Robert L. Johnson. President of Temple University, brought to the dental school the activating force in the realization of the new school. Dr. Gerald D. Timmons. More than any other individual, Dr. Timmons, by his untiring effort and determination, has been instrumental in the attainment of this long sought goal.

As the first step toward this project they thought it advisable to secure the united support of the state, by organizing a dental society, and on December 15, 1845 the Pennsylvania Dental Surgeons came into being.

Thus the first dental college in Pennsylvania was organized and became known as the Philadelphia College of Dental Surgery with Dr. Elisha Townsend as Dean. During the summer of 1852, rooms over the Jones. White and McCurdy dental depot were secured, fitted and furnished as lecture rooms, operating rooms, and laboratory. THIS IS NO LONGER T H
