• Resumen

  • 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.
