HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCHOOL In 1862 Dr. H. H. Toland erected a building to serve as the nucleus of a medical school. This was subsequently known as Toland Hall, and in 1872 was formally transferred to the Regents of the University of California as a department of the University. For many years the affiliation was merely nominal and the medical faculty was in entire control of the policy of the school, the support of the institution being derived from fees of the students. In 1895 the course of instruction was extended from three to four years. In 1898 the school was moved to its present location on Parnassus Heights, a tract of land of thirteen and one-half acres donated to the University by the late Adolph Sutro. Funds were provided by the Legislature to erect buildings for law, medicine, dentistry and pharmacy, and at a later date the law building was transferred by the Board of Regents to the Medical School. In 1902 the Board of Regents adopted a resolution of vital importance to the Medical School. Instead of preserving the former loose affiliation it was determined to regard the medical department as an integral part of the University. The properties of the school were transferred to the University, the students' fees were turned into the general University fund and support of the school was assumed by the Regents. The first two years of medicine were at once put upon an academic basis and suitable laboratories equipped. With the destruction of the Out-Patient Department by the earthquake and fire of 1906 it became necessary to transfer the work of the first two years to Berkeley and to transform the main building of the school into a hospital and out-patient clinic. In December, 1911, the Regents of the University announced their intention of bringing together the various departments of the school, of providing a proper modern teaching hospital and of placing the clinical years upon an academic basis. Therefore, on April 9, 1912, it was resolved to consolidate all departments of the school in San Francisco as soon as feasible. A recommendation of the President of the University was adopted which provided a plan of reorganization for the clinical years. Clinical instruction is now divided into four main departmentsMedicine, Surgery, Diseases of Women, and Pediatrics. The departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pediatrics are in charge of vocational teachers and it is also contemplated to place the departments of Medicine and Surgery upon the same basis. In 1914 a Department of Tuberculosis and a Department of Psychiatry were established and work in these departments included in the curriculum. In 1915 arrangements were perfected by which an agreement with the Hospital for Children and Training School for Nurses was brought |
