We have been sitting at her feet, and tracing her steps in the interest of this association, and have concluded that there is no single chapter in the book of dentistry that is so interesting as the one on history. The writer has been trying to fulfill the wish of this association as expressed in a resolution passed in June 1905, appointing him a committee of one to compile its history. This was not an easy task, especially for the first fifteen years, because whatever records the association may have possessed entirely disappeared, and have not been located, notwithstanding at several times a committee was appointed to search for them, and also compile a history by obtaining information from any available source. Whatever we have learned has been from personal interviews, correspondence, research in journals and libraries. The formation of a society in this part of Ohio, came about, viz: The American Dental Convention in >855 passed a resolution recommending the organization of local societies, so W. H. Atkinson, J. A. Robinson, and others in Cleveland talked the matter over and concluded to issue a circular to the dentists of Northern Ohio, inviting them to meet in Tremont Hall, Nov. 3, 1857, and that was the time and place of the first meeting, and they have been held annually at different cities and towns almost without a lapse. On that memorable day in 1857, Geo. Watt appeared at Tremont Hall and helped organize the meeting, and made a report of the proceedings for the Dental Register of the West, of which he and J. Taft were editors. He came again at subsequent times and made reports for the same journal. We should honor his memory, because he did for us what nobody else did: he printed our early proceedings, and from the writers research he has no knowledge of anywhere else they can be found. Of the thirty-five dentists who were present at that epoch in the dental history of Ohio, only four are living, viz: Alfred Terry, Chester H. Harroun, Jere E. Robinson. W. P. Horton. In many respects this history is exact, while in others it may be lacking, owing to lapse of time and data. Your historian has done the best he could since June 1905, and his recompense has been the pleasure he has received from doing this kind of work, and his love for this Association and the profession.
