His primary education was received and com[)leted in tlie 5 ; grammar schools of Scottsville and Culpeper, Va. Anxious to M m oljtain a further education, he entered the Virginia Mechanics W)iO), Institute, of Richmond, Va., from which he graduated in Mathe- matics. , In October, 1886. he entered the office of Dr. J.

After working with Dr. Moore for three years, he entered the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery on September 28, 1889. On March 23, 1891, he graduated from this college, receiving Honorable Mention. The first year and a half of his Dental practice was spent in Richmond and Charlottesville, Virginia, and then, attracted by the magnet that draws men hither and thither to the ends of the earth, he moved to Baltimore in September, 1892. A short time afterward he was appointed to assistant demon- stratorship at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, and worked through the various grades to first assistant, summer demonstrator, and, finally, to full dem- onstratorship, from which office he resigned on leaving Baltimore in 1909. He moved to New York City, where he established for himself a first-class practice, due to his magnetic personality, profound knowledge, and skilled work- manship. As years rolled by. the Baltimore College, in need of his services, recalled him to special lectureship on Crown and Bridge work. In November. 1918. he was elected to the chair of Prosthetic Dentistry, succeeding Dr. William B. Finney, who retired. In the same 3 ' ear, Dr. Burgess was elected instructor in Extension Courses in the Post Graduate Dental Department of Columbia L ' niversity. Xew York City. It is since his appointment to professorship that the graduates of this year ha e learned to know and love him. Not following any particular textbook, but taking from a multitude of sources the latest ' ' and best in Prosthesis, he brings before his classes a course of study unparalleled in the history of the college.
