After securing a competent faculty and board of trustees the new institu-
tion opened' its first term in November, 1863. Its faculty consisted of
Dr. J. H. McQuiLLEN, Professor of Anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene.
Db. J. Foster Flagg, Professor of Institutes of Dentistry.
Dr. C. a. Kingsbury, Professor of Dental Physiology and Operative Dentistry.
Dr. Thomas Wardell, Professor of Mechanical Dentistry and Metallurgy.
Dr. Henry Morton, A. M., Professor of Chemistry.
Dr. McQuillan was elected dean and held that office continuously until his
death. In 1865 Professors Kingsbury and Morton resigned and were succeeded
by Drs. George W. Ellis and Albert R. Leeds, A. M. In 1866 Professor Ellis
resigned and Professor Kingsbury resumed his former chair. In 1867 Pro-
fessor Wardell resigned and Dr. D. D. Smith was elected to succeed him.
In the same year two new chairs were created, one of principles and prac-
tice of surgery and tlie other of anatomy. Dr. James E. Garretson was chosen
the incumbent of the former and Dr. Harrison Allen of the latter.
In the following year, 1868, Professors Garretson and Leeds resigned. Dr.
S. B. Howell was elected to succeed Professor Leeds.
In 1869 Professor Kingsbury resigned and was made emeritus professor,
and Dr. T. C. Stellwagen was chosen as his successor. In 1870 Professor Flagg
resigned and his chair was divided among the other professors.
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.
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 tlie cliair
of physiology and his former chair of operative dentistry was united to that of
mechanical dentistry. At the same time a new chair of clinical dentistry was
established and Professor H. I. 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.
In 1889 Professor Dorr's chair was changed to that of practical dentistry,
anaesthesia and anaesthetics.
Fron. then until the death of Professor Garretson in October, 1895—
period of fourteen years—no changes occurred, but after his death Dr. H. C.
Boenning was elected to the chair of anatomy and surgery, and Dr. M. H.
