A. WRIGHT, PHILA. 3ntrotmction E, the editors of the Class Record of 1910, have tried in the following pages to give an accurate account of some of the many happenings, humorous and otherwise, that have occurred in the past three years. Owing to lack of experience we know of course that there will be many, many errors and trust that the readers will overlook same and, if you have been knocked, be glad that you were popular enough to be so honored in the book. Remember that everything is meant in the friendliest manner, and that the object of this book is to drive away the blues at some future date when the old 1910 class has separated to all parts of the world. If the pictures or writings ever brighten you up, bringing to mind the face of a dear classmate or a funny happening, then we feel repaid for any time and work we may have spent upon the book. In closing we would like to thank all members of the class for their hearty co-operation with us in the editing of this book. H. TANTUM.

He received his prelim inary education at the Lebanon and Lititz Academies. In 1858 he entered the Sophomore class of Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Pa., and was graduated with the degree of A. B. in 1861. After teaching school for one year he entered the U. S. Volunteer service in 1862 as a private in Company E, 127th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers. He participated actively in the battles of Fredericksburg, Va., December, 1862, and Chancellorsville, May, 1863, after which his regiment was mustered out of service.

In 1884 he also received the honorary degree of D.D.S. from the Philadelphia Dental College. He began the practice of dentistry in his native town of Lebanon in 1865, and at the end of seven years removed to Philadelphia. In 1881 he was elected Professor of Operative and Prosthetic Dentistry and Orthodontia, which chair he still holds. Upon the death of Professor Garretson in October, 1895, he succeeded to the Deanship and continued as head of the Faculty until June, 1905, when he resigned the office. Professor Guilford is the author of two works—"Nitrous Oxide," published in 1887, and "Orthodontia," published in 1889. The latter is a college text-book and is now in its third edition. He also wrote the sections on "Orthodontia," "Anomalies of the Teeth and Maxillae" and "Hypercementosis" for the Ameri can System of Dentistry, and the chapters on "Preparation of Cavities" and "Contour Fillings" for the American Text-book of Operative Dentistry.

After a useful but short life of four years, it yielded to internal dissensions and ceased to exist. In the fall of 1862 Dr. John M. McQuillen, holding the chair of Operative Dentistry and Physiology in the Pennsyl vania College, retired from the faculty, and in 1863, with the assistance of other members of the profession in the city and State, after great expenditure and overcoming of great opposition, he succeeded in obtaining from the Legislature of Pennsylvania a charter for a new institution under the name of the Philadelphia Dental College. After the securing of a competent Faculty and Board of Trustees, the new institution opened its first term in November of the same year. Its Faculty consisted of: Dr. J. H. McQuillen, Professor of Anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene. Dr. J. Foster Flagg, Professor of Institutes of Dentistry. Dr. C. A. Kingsbury, Professor of Physiology and Operative Dentistry. Dr. Thomas Wardell, Professor of Mechanical Dentistry and Metallurgy. Dr. Henry A. Morton, A.M., Professor of Chemistry. Dr. McQuillen was elected Dean, and held that office continuously until his death. In 1865 Professors Kingsbury and Morton resigned and were succeeded by Dr. George W. Ellis and Alfred R. Leeds, A.M. In 1866 Professor Ellis resigned, and Professor Kingsbury resumed his former chair. In 1867 Professor Wardell resigned, and Dr. D. D. Smith was elected to succeed him. The same year two new chairs were created, one of Principles and Practice of Surgery and the other of Anatomy. Dr. James E. Garretson was chosen incumbent of the former, and Dr. Harrison Allen, of the latter. In the following year, 1868, Professors Garretson and Leeds resigned, and Dr. S. B. Howell was elected to succeed Professor Leeds. In 1869 Professor Kingsbury resigned his chair and was made Emeritus Professor, and Dr. Thomas C. Stellwagen was chosen his successor. In 1870 Professor Flagg resigned his chair. Thus far some change had taken place in the personnel of the Faculty each year but one. During the succeeding eight years no change occurred, but in 1878 Professor Garretson resumed his chair of Anatomy and Surgery, and Dr. Henry I. Dorr was made Adjunct Professor of Practical Dentistry. 12 In 1879 the chair of Dental Pathology and Therapeutics was established, and Professor Flagg was chosen to fill it. Owing to the lamented death of Professor McQuillen during this year, some changes in the chairs were made necessary. Professor Stellwagen succeeded Professor McQuillen in the chair of Physi ology and his former chair of Operative Dentistry was united to that of Mechani cal Dentistry. At the same time a new chair of Clinical Dentistry was estab lished and Professor H. J. Dorr was chosen to fill it. In 1881 Professor Smith resigned, and Dr. S. H. Guilford was elected in cumbent of the chair of Operative and Prosthetic Dentistry and Orthodontia. In 1889 Professor Dorr's chair was changed to that of Practical Dentistry, Anaesthesia and Anaesthetics. From then until the death of Professor Garretson in October, 1895, a period of fourteen years, no change occurred; but after his death Dr. H. C. Boenning was elected to the chair of Anatomy and Surgery, and Dr. M. C. Cryer, for many years the assistant of Professor Garretson, was chosen Adjunct Professor of Oral Surgery. In January, 1896, Professor S. H. Guilford was elected Dean of the Faculty. In the spring of the same year Professors Dorr and Flagg resigned, owing to ill health. Dr. Leo Greenbaum was thereupon chosen to succeed Professor Dorr, and the chair changed to include Materia Medica, Anaesthetics and Odon- totechny. Dr. H. H. Burchard was also chosen to fill the place of Dr. Flagg and made Special Lecturer on Dental Pathology and Therapeutics. After serving the school most acceptably for three years, Dr. Burchard's failing health compelled his resignation. In October, 1896, Dr. Cryer resigned to accept a position in the Dental Department of the University of Pennsylvania. In May, 1899, A. H. Thompson, of Topeka, Kansas, and Dean of the Kansas City Dental College, was chosen to succeed Dr. Burchard, and the chair was ex tended to include Comparative Dental Anatomy. In May, 1900, Dr. Thompson resigned to resume his former professorship in Kansas City Dental College, and Dr. Otto E. Inglis was elected Special Lec turer on Dental Pathology and Therapeutics. In October, 1901, Dr. Boom succeeded Dr. S. B. Howell, who became Pro fessor Emeritus of Chemistry, Physics and Metallurgy. At this time also Dr.
