Faith Sai So Leong – First Chinese American Graduate

Faith Sai So Leong, the first Chinese American woman to receive the DDS degree from a dental school, graduated from P&S in 1905 and set up practice on Washington Street in San Francisco. She submitted this 1907 document applying for a second copy of her diploma, to replace the first that had perished along with her office in the 1906 earthquake and fire.
