GENTLEMEN-Your committee appointed
to draft resolutions warning the profession
and public against the so-called Wiscon-
sin Dental College" and its graduates, sub
NIT the following report
Whereas, The Wisconsin State Dental
Association, at its last annual meeting, at
Milwaukee, passed resolutions condemning
and denouncing said college and faculty as
unworthy of patronage and recognition
therefore,
Resolved, That we deem it but right and
proper that this association should ratify
and indorse the resolutions unanimously
Endorsed by the Wisconsin Association,
which we herewith append.
Resolved, That copies of this resolution,
together with those appended, be furnished
our daily papers and our professional jour-
nails for publication.
Whereas, Circulars and advertisements
have been widely circulated by parties from
Delavan, Wis, claiming to be 1.-The
faculty" of the Wisconsin Dental College,
and regularly chartered under the provis-
ions of chapter Sc, revised statutes of 1878,
offering to confer" diploma and degree
of Cd. D. S." without any apparent inten-
ton on the part of said faculty " of prop
erly educating persons, or without ever hav-
ing SO done, in accordance with the de-
mands of all reputable colleges in all pro-
LESSONS, thereby cheapening and lowering
the dignity and standing of the Dental pro-
fession, in the estimation of the public, as
well as endangering its safety in the icens-
ing of incompetent persons to practice dent
lstry, and to place such on a par with men
of known skill and experience; therefore,
Resolved, That the Wisconsin State
Dental Society hereby denounce all or
carnations Or institutions purporting to be
dental colleges, whether chartered or not.
which do not require and are not prepared
to give thorough and complete course of
study III all branches of our speciality, as
would be required in order to receive recog-
milton by the American Dental Association.
Resolved, That We refuse to recognize
or place any value upon any diploma or de-
gree issued or furnished by the so-called
Wisconsin Dental College; that we hold in
contempt the authors and management of
this concern, who have by their action
brought odium upon the profession of this
State; and, that in the future, as during
this session of this society, no person con-
nected with it will be recognized as entitled
to a seat in our meetings.
