V, SCHOOL HISTORY The dental school, the oldest teaching unit of Temple University, first opened at 108-110 North 10th Street in 1862 and graduated its first class consisiting of five men in 1864. It was not a pretentious college as compared to those of today but at that time was considered to be the ultimate in accommodations and facilities for learning. Its main features were the two lecture rooms with a seating capacity of one hundred which, with the mechanical laboratory, museum, and faculty meeting rooms were found on the second floor, and the operative clinic displaying the best chairs that could be had at the time making up the entire third floor. The College came to be recognized as one of the outstanding dental schools in the world, making great contributions to dentistry and providing many of the recognized leaders of the profession down through the years. In 1897, the original facilities being long outmoded, a new' structure was erected at 18th and Buttonwood Streets. Ten years later, by mutual agreement, the Philadelphia Dental College was taken over by Temple University. In 1943, Dr. Gerald Timmons was appointed Dean of the Dental School. The school by this time was again in need of advancement and modernization and in 1947 it was moved to the present site at Broad Street above Allegheny Avenue. Today, wre are very proud of the position and prestige that our school has attained, and of the fine service that it is rendering in contributing to the health of our state and nation. We owe much thanks to the untiring efforts of our president and dean. As Temple University continues to progress, she must continue to have the support and encouragement of her alumni and friends. 8
