THE NATIONAL DENTAL HOSPITAL AND COLLEGE, 149, GREAT PORTLAND STREET, W. It was established at 149, Great Portland Street, and opened to the public on November 11th, 1861. The first special Dental School established in the United Kingdom was the Metropolitan School of Dental Science, which was opened on October, 5th, 1859, Dr. B. W. Richardson delivering the inaugural address. With a view to affording greater educational facilities, the field of work of this latter Institution was enlarged, and its name changed to the National Dental College, and an inaugural address was delivered by Mr. Oakley Coles on May 8th, 1877. RULES AND REGULATIONS TO BE OBSERVED BY STUDENTS I. Students admitted to the practice of this Hospital must enter for the period of two years, and with the understanding that it is their intention to obtain the Dental Diploma of the Royal College of Surgeons. Exceptions to this rule can only be made under special or particular circumstances, and with the consent of the Medical Committee. II. Students are required to attend the Hospital daily (except on Sundays) at 9 a.m., and must sign their names, and the time of their arrival, in the Attendance Book. No Student shall be entitled to receive his Certificate of Attendance, unless he has attended not less than twothirds of the time for which he entered. III. No Student shall be allowed to undertake any operation during the first two months of his Hospital practice, except by special permission of the Dental Officer in attendance. IV. Students must provide the necessary instruments for stopping teeth; and all instruments and appliances the property of the Hospital shall, after being used by a Student, be returned by him, cleansed, to their proper places. V. No Student shall be allowed to receive fee or remuneration from any patient attending the Hospital; and no mechanical work in the form of artificial teeth shall be supplied to a patient by a Student of the Hospital. VI. The authority of the Medical Officers of the Hospital must be always respected by the Students; and in case of unseemly conduct, it will be the duty of the Medical Officer to report the same to the Committee, who shall have the power to deal as they may think fit with such cases. SUGGESTIONS TO STUDENTS. Before commencing his Professional Education, the Student must pass a Preliminary Examination in Arts. The Examination most to be recommended is the Matriculation of the University of London, as it will enable the Student subsequently to present himself for an University degree, should he desire to do so. The Preparation of Candidates for any of the Preliminary Examinations is conducted by the Rev H. R. Belcher, M.A. VOL. I. 31 Having received a Certificate of his Preliminary Examination, and cards of admission to Lectures and Hospital Practice, it is necessary to register the same at the Medical Council Office, 315, Oxford Street, within fifteen days of commencing his professional studies. The commencement of such studies will not be recognised by any of the qualifying bodies as dating earlier than fifteen days before the time of registration. Any one registered as a Medical Student must also register as a Dental Student, if he be such. Prizes, consisting of medals, books, and certificates of honour, are awarded annually. FEES.
