EDWARD HOFFMEISTER, A.B., D.D.S., PHARM.G 1870-1931 Edward Hoffmeister was born in Baltimore, Md., December 9, 1870.

He then entered the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, from which he graduated in 1894. Immediately after his graduation from the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, he was appointed instructor in chemistry and he later became assistant professor of the subject under the late William Simon, who paid tribute to Dr. Hofifmeister ' s aid in the preparation of his textbook, Simon ' s Chemistry. He soon was made professor and head of the department of materia medica, therapeutics and pharmacology in the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, in which capacity he continued until his death. The high regard in which he was held by a vast concourse of former stu- dents testifies to his unusual ability as a teacher. Dr. Hoffmeister was quiet, reserved, courteous and kind at all times, preferring to carry on his service to the profession through the benefits which students might derive from instruction received at his hand. He never aspired to recognition of his abili- ties beyond the simple fact of doing his duty promptly, carefully and thoroughly. He retired from active practice about a year ago, but con- tinued teachin -. He was a member of the Baltimore City Dental Society, the Maryland State Dental Societ} ' , the American Dental Association, the Alumni Association of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, a Mason, a member of Friends Meeting House, and a member of Xi Psi Phi and Omicron Kappa Upsilon fra- ternities. 26
