School History The Philadelphia Dental College which became the Dental School of Temple University, opened its doors in November of 1863 with John H. McQuillen as its dean. It was first located at 108-110 N. 10th Street. This school is by far the oldest teaching unit in the University, and is the nation's second oldest dental school. At the first commencement in 1864, there were six graduates. Five years later, there were fifty students enrolled from all over the world. Under the direction of Dr. James E. Garretson, in 1876, the Philadelphia Dental College instituted the department of Oral Surgery making it the first specialty in Dentistry. In 1897, the school was moved to 18th and Buttonwood Streets, and became a model for all dental schools. It still holds a firm place in the memories of those who matriculated there. Ten years later, the Philadelphia Dental College merged with Temple University, thus making an integral part of the higher system of the times. Dr. Gerald T. Timmons was appointed Dean in 1943, and was instrumental in the perpetuation and attainment of ideas that are well recognized today in the field of dental education. In 1946, one of the foremost needs was realized by the acquisition of a new building located at Broad St. and Allegheny Ave., which opened its doors a year later to the student body. No efforts were spared to make this building outstanding in every way. The faculty of highly qualified educators, follows the ideals of the founders of Temple University in accepting the responsibility of the education of those individuals who are to care for the dental health and well-being of the nation. 4
