In 1978 M. J. Peterson examined the role played by the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) in nineteenth-century dental reform, noting the establishment of its Licence in Dental Surgery (LDS) in 1859. In a paper published in Notes and Records in 2010, the present author described the influential role played by Fellows of the Royal Society during the nineteenth-century campaign for dental reform led by Sir John Tomes. Key players in this campaign, including the dentists Samuel Cartwright, Thomas Bell and James Salter, were, as well as being Fellows of the Royal Society, members of the Athenæum Club. The present research report indicates the roles played by those members of the Athenæum Club who were also Fellows of the Royal Society in the scientific and professional reform of nineteenth-century dentistry. Although it does not attempt to document meetings at the Club, it suggests the potential for a symbiotic effect between the Royal Society and the Athenæum. Where the previous paper proposed an active scientific role for the Royal Society in reforming dentistry, this paper presents the Athenæum as a significant extension of the sphere of influence into the cultural realm for those who did enjoy membership of both organizations.

雅典俱乐部，皇家学会和19世纪英国的牙科改革：研究报告。

1978年，MJ彼得森（MJ Peterson）审查了皇家外科医学院（RCS）在19世纪牙科改革中所扮演的角色，并指出其在1859年建立的《牙科外科手术执照（LDS）》。本作者描述了在约翰·托姆斯爵士率领的19世纪牙科改革运动中，皇家学会会员的影响力。该活动的主要参与者，包括牙医塞缪尔·卡特赖特（Samuel Cartwright），托马斯·贝尔（Thomas Bell）和詹姆士·索特（James Salter），以及雅典娜俱乐部（Athenatheum Club）的皇家学会会员。本研究报告指出，雅典娜俱乐部会员也是皇家学会会员，在19世纪牙科科学和专业改革中所扮演的角色。尽管它没有尝试记录俱乐部的会议情况，但它暗示了皇家学会与雅典娜之间可能会产生共生效应。在前一篇论文提出皇家学会在牙科改革方面发挥积极的科学作用的地方，本文将雅典娜庙会作为对同时享有这两个组织成员资格的人的影响领域到文化领域的重要扩展。
