and it is therefore that you must 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 branch of medicine, and in order to denote the phenomenal progress of the old Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, start at the time of its birth; when there were about 1,200 practitioners of dentistry 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, and who considered three or four weeks ample time in which to attain all the knowledge necessary to the successful pursuit of the calling, and contrast the requirements of that time with those of the present daj ' . This is the sixty-third year of the career of the College with its prospects for usefulness brighter than ever. It has added to its facultj 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-three years are world-wide in their influence upon dentistry. Over twentj ' -two 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. The} ' lead the profession in all the great centres of civiliza- tion and have won eminence in England, France, Russia, Switzerland, Spain and Itah They have carried the honors of the institution into Asia, Australia, and the land of the pyramids, while in every State of our Republic, and in all parts of Canada they have demonstrated their own worth and the excellent training afforded them by their Alma Mater. They have met with signal honor abroad, nearly every court dentist in Europe being a graduate of this institution. Such in brief is the historj ' of our dear old College, our beloved Alma Mater, where we are now seeking a trai ning which will not onlj ' bring distinction to, and benefit us personally, but which shall instil nobler ideas into our minds, and so broaden our characters, that we ma} ' become better citizens, and better able to fill our allotted place in life, whatever it may be. And may we ever prove an honor to the calling in which we are about to engage, and to our best friend, the Balti- more College of Dental Sure;erv.
