f 2, - With such a rapid growth it followed naturally that the school must soon have a building designed and furnished especially to meet its own needs. Accordingly, plans were soon developed, which led to the erection of a new three-story building on Goodrich Street, adjoining the previously acquired University property. This build- ing was erected in 1896 at a cost of 836,000 and was first occupied during 1896-97, this being the fifth session of the Dental Depart- ment. Even this building was soon taxed to its capacity, to accom- modate the growing school, so that it became necessary in 1902 to add a fourth story. This done, the building stands today as one of the very first in the country in point of equipment and adaptation to the needs of a dental school. E L C 0Rg. ' It was recognized from the beginning that a large part of the credit for wise planning and broad and efficient organization, which constituted the foundation of the sch0ol's success, was due to the first Dean, Dr.William C. Barrett, whose experience and prominence in dental circles, coupled with a superior appreciation of what a dental school should be, and with the executive ability to carry out his plans to the smallest detail, were large factors in bringing a well-organized and well-equipped school to a basis of success in so short a time. Professor Barrett died August 22, 1903, having held the position of Dean during the whole eleven years since the organi- zation of the school. A distinct contribution to its early success was the service rendered to the department by Dr. Alfred P. Southwick, who held the position of secretary-treasurer until the time of his death in June, 1898. Dr. George B. Snow succeeded Dr. Barrett as Dean in 1903, and served in that capacity for nine years, a period which saw con- stant enlargement and development of the college. In 1912, Dr. Daniel H. Squire, a graduate of the department in the first class to receive their degrees, who had served as vice-Dean during 1910 and 8

I THE REF12ECToR 32 ' qv 2 I Erpnrtmrnt nf Brntiatrg HE Department of Dentistry was organized in 1892, with the following faculty: VVilliam C. Barrett, hf.D., D.D.S., A. P. Southwiclc, M.D.S., F. E. Howard, M.D.S., Herbert A. Birdsall, lX4.D., D.D.S. George B. Snow, D.D.S., was chosen clinical professor of mechanical technics by the faculty. These gentlemen called to their aid an extensive corps of teachers from not only the medical faculty, but from the ranks of the dental profession in Buffalo, Rochester, Elmira, New York, Brooklyn, Ithaca and Detroit. The school therefore started out with a teach- ing force far superior to that of many similar institutions. During a part of the first year, the instruction was given in the upper stories of the building at 641 Blain Street. For the first session there were 46 matriculates and the graduating class numbered 5. Une change in the permanent faculty occurred early in the first session. Prof. H. A. Birdsall, the youngest member and a man of very great promise, died December 12, 1892. He was succeeded by Eli H. Long, M.D. The second session found the school well equipped in the com- modious, new University Building, located on High Street, which was intended for the present to accommodate the departments of medicine, pharmacy, and dentistry. The west wing of the building was assigned to the Dental Department, for its infirmary and laboratories. ' The classes grew very rapidly in size from year to year, which demonstrated the necessity of a ,first-class dental school in this section of the country. In fact the growth was regarded as phenom- enal, beginning with a class of 46 in the session of 1892-93, four years later saw a registration of 222 and ten years later the registra- tion reached 261. 7

2 1 . r, 1 THE R1-eieiaiecrora W' 3 xp' E? 1911, became Dean. The present head, with his associates, has been markedly successful not only in raising the scholastic standing of the department, but in inculcating such mutual cordiality among faculty and students that it has resulted in a very healthy growth of college and university spirit. In 1914, the department sustained the loss, on account of removal to New York, of Dr. L. M. Waugh, who had been very successful as professor of special pathology. The present governing faculty comprises: Daniel H. Squire, D.D.S., Dean and professor of operative dentistry, Eli H. Long, M.D., professor of materia medica and therapeutics, Charles K. Buell, D.D.S., professor of crown and bridge work and dental ceramics, Abram Hoffman, D.D.S., professor of prosthetic dentistry and orthodontia. In ad- dition there are four professors and thirty-one lecturers, instructors and demonstrators, together with a clinical staff, making a total of forty. For the year 1914-15, the total enrollment was 193. 9
