IJr. Iltiiul, in liis valedictory In tlir uTadiiates, al ils first coninicinx-iiiciU exercises Marc ' n, 1841. says: You have been taug ' ht that denial surgery is not a new art separate from, and independent of, jjencral medicine; but that it is an important brancii of the science of healing. V ' ou have seen and traced out the exquisitely beautiful machinery by wliich the human organism is everywhere knit togetiier; you have carefully examined the phenomena of health and disease, as they are manifested in the dental arch, its connections and relations, and you have been taught to regard the human body as a whole, united in all its parts, and pervaded everywhere by strong and active sympathies; and your principles (jf practice have been carefully formed on a sound knowledge of general medicine and it is therefore that you nni«t be thoroughly educated in the fundamental branches of medicine as the medical man himself. The College was organized with the design of teaching dentistry as a regular brancli of medicine, and in order to denote the phenomenal progress of the old Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, we will start at the time of its birth, when there were about 1200 practitioners of detitistry in America, more than one-half of whom were ignorant, incapable men, whose knowledge was composed of a few secrets which they had purchased at fabulous prices from other charlatans. Three or four weeks they considered ample time in which to attain all the knowledge necessary to the successful pursuit of the calling. Hence contrast the past with the present. This is the sixty-first year of the career of the College with its prospects for usefulness brighter than ever- It has added to its faculty and clinical corps strong and active men. and is better equipped to carry out the purpose of its inception than at any period of its existence. The results of its work in sixty-one years are world-wide in their influence upon dentistry. Over nineteen hundred graduates have gone from this College into practice, and these are scattered all over the civilized world. They are located in nearly every city of Europe. They lead the profession in all the great centres of civilization and have won eminence in England, France, Russia. Switzerland. Spain and Italy. The have carried the honors of the institution into Asia, Australia, and the land of the pyramids, while in every State in our Republic they have demonstrated their own worth and the excellent training afforded them by their Alma Mater. The) ' have met with signal honor abroad, nearly every court dentist in Europe being a graduate of this institution. The present staff of instructors is composed of the following: 19
