THE PIONEER AMERICAN DENTISTS IN FRANCE
AND THEIR SUCCESSORS

Speech delivered October 8th 1965
by Dr. W. S. Davenport Jr.

Upon the occasion of the 75th Anniversary  of the AMERICAN DENTAL CLUB OF PARIS 1890- 1965.

Monday evening October 13th 1890, our Club was founded in the home of Dr. Thomas Evans, 99 Avenue Malakoff – corner of the Avenue de l’Impératrice - later Avenue du Bois de Boulogne now Avenue Foch.

There were 16 Active Members and one Associate. In 1938 the last surviving founding members passed away.

 However it will be of interest to our present membership to know something about these founders and how in many cases they were responsible for dental practices which are still flourishing to day, 75 years later.
