434 HISTORY OF DENTAL SURGERY

that institution at its. second eommeneement, February 28, 1854. He acted
as secretary of the board until his death, in 1891. His successor, Joseph Pet-
tit, M. D., D. D. S., was elected secretary February 26, 1892.
George E. Morehouse, M. D., became a member of the board in 1857, and
was shortly afterwards elected treasurer, continuing in that office for more
than half a century.
The Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery has been most fortunate in
having as presidents of its board of corporators four men of world wide dis-
tinction in their respective fields. The first, Hon. Henry C. Carey, it is said,
was the greatest authority on political economy of his time. He was presi-
dent of the board for twenty-four years. His successor was the "founder of
American Surgery," Professor Samuel D. Gross, who was succeeded in four
years by his worthy son Professor Samuel W. Gross, who occupied the position
until his death; at which time (1889), the present incumbent, Dr. I. Minis
Hays, no less distinguished in the scientific world both at home and abroad,
was elected to the office. The fact that during all the long and successful ex-
istence of the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery only four men have
occupied the honoi-able position of president of its controlling board, speaks
much for the harmony and singleness of purpose of that body.
