The Stewardship of George Lewis Elliot: Canada's First Dean of Dentistry
1Private Dental Practice, Toronto, Canada.
Abstract:
George Lewis Elliot has not been given his proper due as the first dean of dentistry in Canada. Elliot was in the center of a scandal, surrounding his establishment of a private dental school, the Canada College of Dentistry. Faced with a regulatory body whose leaders he perceived to be engaging in the practice "choking off" and "stamping out" their competitors, Elliot undertook to create an independent dental school to provide prospective licentiates with the means to pass the board exams, thereby also improving the profession.
