•K - ' , ' Dchool riistory The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, Dental School, l ' ni ersity of Maryland as it stands today is the outcome of continued efforts of those indi- ' iduals whose sole purpose was the promotion of dentistry as a specialty in the healing arts. The first epic of beginning dexelopment was the acceptance of dentistry as a special branch in medicine by the Medical and C ' hirurgical Faculty of Maryland, and recjuired a license for its practice. This was made possible by the unceasing efforts of Dr. Horace H. Hayden and through whose lectures in the Uni ' ersity of Mar land Medical School, during the ears 1821 to 1S25, led to the founding of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, chartered in 1840, with Horace H. Hayden, President, and Chapin A. Harris, Dean. It was some years later that the University of Maryland saw fit to institute a dental department of its own, with Dr. Ferdinand J. Gorgas, Dean, in 1882. This institution enjoyed a reign independent of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery until 1923, at which time, for the best interest of the profession, the two schools amalgamated, carrying the name of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, Dental School, lTni ersity of Maryland, with Dr. T. O. Heatwole as Dean. Soon after. Dr. Heatwole relinquished the Deanship to fulfill his duties as Secretary of the Professional Schools of the University of Maryland, at which time Dr. J. Ben Robinson was appointed Dean of this institution. It was through the untiring efforts of Dr. Robinson that we are able to look on with pride at our present school and to enjoy a rating classed with the highest in dentistry today, for previous to Dr. Robinson ' s invocation, the school possessed a B classification. Howe ' er, it was only a short time later that a five year term was adopted, a new building erected and the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, Dental School, University of Maryland received its A classification. The Dental School now occupies an elaborate building, which was completed in the Fall of 1929. This building being situated directly opposite the University Hospital and affording splendid opportunity for abundant clinic material, has done much to associate and link up the two professions. The equipment is unsurpassed both in completeness and quality, making possible great strides in the adxancement of the profession as a branch of medicine. Such advancement of an institution in so short a time shows wonderful leadership and cooperation on the part of those interested in the project. This rapid growth naturally demanded an increase in the teaching staff. Today we have seventy-four instructors, all being of the highest caliber, specializing in their individual endeavors in dentistry. With such background an institution of this kind will eventually bring to pass that for which its leaders have been striving for years, namely, the recognition of dentistry as a special branch of medicine. The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, Dental School, lTni ersity of Maryland has, in the last ten years, shown almost unbelievable progress and it becomes the duty of its graduates to continue helping and striving for this goal.

»-., Miss Katherine Toomey Executive Secretary The first person to greet the new student as he is about to enroll for the study of Dentistry at the l ni ' ersity is a smiling and congenial young lady in the person of Miss Toomey. From the ■ery first meeting and all during his years at the Uni -ersity, the student comes to realize that in Miss Toomey he has found a friend who will counsel and advise him in his school work and daily life as few, much older in years and experience, are capable of doing. Her position as secre- tary to the Dean of the Dental School is a most responsible one, entailing a great deal of statistical work and most accurate record keeping. How well she manages her office is proven by the fact that it is almost impossible to ask her for any data relati e to the Dental School that she does not ha -e at her instant disposal. Beloved by the student body for her readiness to help a student, her wealth of Irish wit and good sportsmanship, Miss Toomey is always assured of a warm spot in the heart of the Student Body. Nineteen
