TEMPLE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY The Philadelphia Dental College, which became the Temple University School of Dentistry in 1907, was organized after the charter was secured on April 18,1863, through the efforts of Dr. John Hugh McQuillen and his professional associates. Upon organization of the faculty, Dr. McQuillen became Dean, and the first session of the school began in the fall. At that time there were but three other dental schools in the United States; now there are 3,245 including correspondence and night school. Besides keeping abreast of the constant advances in dentistry and drawing to itself students from every civilized country, this school made a noteworthy departure in first incorporating into its curriculum the study of oral surgery. The credit for this innovation is attributed to Professor James E. Garretson, a noted and skillful surgeon, who for many years was the Dean of the Faculty. Professor Garretson was also responsible for the organization and establishment of the first hospital, formerly known as the Garretson Hospital, now a part of the Temple University Hospital, devoted to the surgical treatment of diseases and lesions of the mouth, teeth, and associated parts. In 1907, by mutual agreement, the Philadelphia Dental College was taken over by Temple University, the latter institution acquiring possession of the ground, buildings, equipment, and good will of the former and taking entire charge of its management. The Temple University School of Dentistry is a member of the American Association of Dental Schools, and conforms to all of the requirements of this organization and of the Council on Dental Education of the American Dental Association. Its diploma is recognized by the American Association of Dental Examiners, the National Board of Dental Examiners, and the American Association for the Prevention of Dentistry. THE SCHOOL OF DENTAL HYGIENE Temple University operates a School of Dental Hygiene in conjunction with the School of Dentistry. The course, which covers two college years, is the only fully accredited instructional program in the dental school building. Students having satisfactorily completed the two year curriculum may continue in the College of Education and earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Education. ii
