Edward Hartley Angle, MD, DDS, (1855-1930) was ardent in making orthodontics a distinct specialty. In 1900, he founded the first school in the world devoted to specialty training in orthodontics, the Angle School of Orthodontia in St. Louis, Missouri. Over the next 30 years, the Angle School moved from St. Louis to New York City to New London, Connecticut, and finally to Pasadena, California. There was always some uncertainty regarding the accuracy of lists of graduates of the Angle School, since the associated prestige was often a lure for false representation by some practitioners. The purpose of this article is to delineate an authoritative list of Angle's students. Recent additions to primary source material help in reconstructing Edward Angle's seminal educational contributions. From 1900 to 1930, Angle taught orthodontics to 198 students of which 185 received certificates of course completion. The remaining 13 received some training from Angle, but did not complete his formal course for a variety of reasons. He was highly selective in choosing the best dentist-students. Among his students were 8 women, 6 Canadians and 27 from 15 countries outside North America. Angle's graduates invariably became worldwide leaders and contributors in orthodontics in the first half of the 20th century.
爱德华·哈特利·安格尔，医学博士、牙科学博士（1855 - 1930），热衷于将正畸学发展成为一门独特的专业学科。1900年，他创办了世界上第一所专注于正畸专业培训的学校——位于密苏里州圣路易斯的安格尔正畸学校。在接下来的30年里，安格尔正畸学校从圣路易斯迁至纽约市，再到康涅狄格州的新伦敦，最终落户加利福尼亚州的帕萨迪纳。由于该校相关的声望常常吸引一些从业者进行虚假宣传，安格尔正畸学校毕业生名单的准确性一直存在一定的不确定性。本文旨在列出一份权威的安格尔学生名单。近期新增的原始资料有助于重构爱德华·安格尔具有开创性的教育贡献。1900年至1930年间，安格尔向198名学生教授正畸学，其中185名学生获得了课程结业证书。其余13名学生接受了安格尔的一些培训，但由于各种原因未完成他的正规课程。他在挑选最优秀的牙医学生时非常严格。他的学生中有8名女性、6名加拿大人以及来自北美以外15个国家的27名学生。安格尔的毕业生在20世纪上半叶无一例外地成为了正畸学领域的全球领导者和贡献者。
