ANNOUNCEMENT, 1879-1880 . ... THE FORTIETHRegular Course of Instruction in the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery will begin on Wednesday, October 15th, 1879, and continue until March, 1880. The first two weeks are devoted to Clinics, Infirmary Practice, and familiar introductory elementary Lectures on Dental subjects. The REGULAROOURSEOF LEOTUREScommences November 1st, and continues without intermission, save a short recess at Christ- mas, until the beginning of the following March. The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery is one of the foremost of American institutions for professional education, and its record for usefulness probably surpasses that of any professional college in the country. It was organized under a special charter from the Maryland Legislature, in 1839, being the first institution ever founded in the world for the purpose of giving regular collegiate instruction in this important branch of medical science. It was an experiment, but it had a substantial basis ·in the necessities of the human race, and came in answer to the demand of civilization for progress in useful and beneficent sciences. Its originators were men of great public. spirit and foresight, yet they could / scarcely have anticipated the wonderful results which have fol- lowed their enterprise. The modest institution which they founded has become an influence throughout civilization, and the profession they labored to advance has moved forward to the highest standard, with a membership embracing many of the most cultivated and progressive minds of the age, with an exclu- sive literature of its own, in the enjoyment of high honor and esteem, and with strong claims upon the appreciation of the people on the ground of extreme usefulness to humanity. The greater part of this work has been accomplished within the past forty years, the period of the existence of the Baltimore Col- lege of Dental Surgery, and among the influences that have con- tributed to bring about this remarkable development, this institu- tion is entitled to the first place. 4 Upon its first organization the College was placed upon a high plane. The course of study was made thorough and comprehen- sive; the system of instruction was planned with the utmost care, with a view to practical efficiency, and the examinations were made exacting. The Faculty was selected with great judgment) and embraced a fine representation of the best talent, skill and experience in both the medical and dental professions. It was the purpose to give the institution a high character at the start, and this fact accounts largely for its great success and usefulness. The stamp of character it then received has endured. The pur- poses of its originators have been perpetuated in the management ever since. The standard has never been lowered, while the facili- ties and means of instruction have been steadily enlarged) to keep pace with the discoveries and improvements. This institution has now graduated eight hundred and forty-one students. It has drawn its patronage from all parts of the United States and the West Indies, and from many countries in Europe. Its graduates are scattered all over the civilized world. They are located in nearly every city of Europe. They lead the profession in all the great centres of civilization) and have won eminence and renown in En'gland, France) Russia) Prussia, Switzerland, Spain and Italy. They have carried the honors of the institution into Asia, Australia and the Land of the Pyramids, while in every State in the United States they have established their own worth and the repntation of their Alma Mater. In this community, where the institution is best known, it enjoys the highest repute, and its diplomas command the most substantial recognition. Upward of sixty graduates are in practice in Baltimore alone. The College may well point with pride to the standing of its graduates. Many of them have reached high stations in the pro- fession: many have become renowned for their attainments, origi- nal discoveries and writings. They have met with signal honor abroad, nearly every Court dentist in Europe being a graduate of this institution. Very many of them are men of broad culture, who have been previously trained in other high educational institu- tions, and, collectively, they have developed a degree of worth and usefulness which reflects the highest credit upon the College. The course of study at this institution embraces the principles and practice of dental science and surgery, anatomy, physiology and pathology, therapeutics and materia medica, chemistry, dental mechanism and metallurgy) together with other studies. \ The thoroughness and comprehensive character of this course is shown 5 by the fact that the medical colleges of Baltimore require gradu- ates of this institution to attend but one session before receiving the degree of M. D. Olinics and demonstrations are held daily throughout the session. Nothing is left undemonstrated. Stu- dents are required to make all kinds of partial pieces and perform all varieties of operations for themselves daily. The Infirmary of the Oollege is open during the entire year, and is free to all matriculants. The Faculty desire to state in this place that its diplomas are not purchasable. It would hardly seem creditable to the reputation of dentistry and of dental schools to be obliged to make this state- ment; but the frequent applications, made almost every year, for the diploma, on other terms than actual attendance on the Lec- tures, and a satisfactory examination at the close of the session, would indicate either that this matter is not well understood, or that a different practice obtains elsewhere. The new College building, into which the Oollege was removed several years ago, its old quarters being too remote and confined, is a most spacious and handsome structure. The very large and excellently lighted Infirmary and Laboratory afford ample room for every student, while the central location furnishes abundant practice. The building is well supplied with gas and water, and every facility and comfort is afforded the student.
