Excerpt from Transactions of the National Dental Association at the Sixteenth Annual Meeting: Held at Washington, D. C., September 10-13, 1912 Wells? To the memory of this great American dentist I have devoted a great deal of my energies, writing the history of his discovery, delineating a picture of his life, already known to many, and oh taining a subscription from the Spanish Dental Society for a wreath, which has been deposited in Hartford cemetery. We, the Spanish dentists, after our simple homage, have had the satisfaction of seeing the Parisian dentists raise a monument in his memory. As professor of orthodontia in the Uni versity of Madrid, I came to this country solely for the purpose of gathering the best and latest in this branch of dentistry, that I might take it with me to Madrid as a seed which is destined to bear fruit. As soon as I learned that you were going to hold this meeting here, I decided to come and greet my friends.
