Collection Description Biographical Note The Emory University School of Dentistry was established in 1944. Predecessors to its formation were the Southern Dental College (1887-1915) and the Atlanta Dental College (1892-1917). These two schools united to form Atlanta-Southern Dental College which merged with the Emory University in September of 1944. The School of Dentistry remained in operation until 1985 when a decision was made to phase out its undergraduate program by 1988. This was followed in 1990 by the decision to close the School of Postgraduate Dentistry as well. Scope and Content Note The collection consists of records documenting the Emory University School of Dentistry from 1944-1990. It includes bulletins, meeting minutes, school publications and records of student organizations, as well as photographs and clippings documenting the decision to close the school. Also included are self-study reports from 1961 and 1984, as well as student directories for 1982-1985. There are no student records in this collection. Arrangement Note Organized by material type. 2
