“In 1858, four years after his
graduation, Dr. Peirce was elected to the chair of Dental Physiology, Histology
and Operative Dentistry in the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery, on the
death of Professor Elisha Townsend. He was elected to the office of Dean in
1861, and held that position until he retired from the school in 1866 on
account of ill health. On being re-elected to the Faculty in 1878, he was again
chosen by his colleagues as Dean, and has held that position to the present
time. He has been longer identified with the faculty of that institution than
any other man now living. Prof. Pierce's long connection with the college as a
teacher and officer has made his influence an important factor in the success
which it has attained. His extraordinary capacity for work is doubtless
attributable to inheritance, Quaker education and early training on a farm. Dr.
Peirce has for over twenty years delivered each year before the classes of the Woman's
Medical College of Pennsylvania, ten lectures on Dental Physiology and Dental
Pathology. This college was the first, and for many years the only medical
school in this country to appreciate the importance of such instruction for its
students. The practical information conveyed in these lectures, not embraced in
the medical text books, is of great value to the graduates of the school. Dr. Peirce is a member and has served as
President [1881-‘82] of the American Dental Association and of the Pennsylvania
Dental Association. He has made many and
valuable contributions to dental literature, and ranks high in his profession
as teacher and practitioner.” (Pennsylvania Biosketches, 1886.)
