THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE

(For Faculty of the College of Medicine, see page 19.)

HISTORY

The College of Medicine, the College of Physicians and Surgeons, is located on the corner of Congress and Honore Streets, Chicago, in the heart of the medical quarter of the city. It was founded in the year 1882 by a number of representative physicians and surgeons. In 1892 the College had a thorough organization, and erected a commodious laboratory building, the first building exclusively for laboratory purposes erected by any medical school in the West. Since that time it has grown with steadiness and rapidity. The attendance in 1895-96 was 235; in 1896-97, 308; in 1897-98, 408; in 1898-99, 514, 35 of the students being women; in 1899-1900, 579, 43 being women, and in 19001901, 676, 49 being women. It became the Medical Department of the University in April, 1897.

Chicago is already the center of medical study in the United States. Since the winter of 1897-98 it has contained a larger number of medical students than any other city in the western hemisphere. These students are distributed among fourteen medical colleges, of which the College of Physicians and Surgeons is the second, as to the size of its classes, and is not outranked by any in respect to its facilities, or the scope and thoroughness of its curriculum, or in regard to the place it occupies in the esteem of the medical profession.
