THE X-RAY 1934 THE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Chief among subsequent buildings placed by Saint Philip ' s Hospital, 1920 McGwire Hall and Old Virginia Hospital, acquired b Medicine, 1913; Memorial Hospital, completed in 1903, 192S; Saint Philip Dormitory, 1931, and the library, other important buildings as soon as practicable. In its first ninety-three years, the college sent out 5,864 graduates, 3,958 in medicine, 615 in dentistry, 764 in pharmacy, and 527 in nursing. These are distributed throughout the nation and many foreign countries. Many of these have won distinction in their respective fields. The plant of the college is approximately one- half completed. A new out-patient department and laboratory building, a central heating plant, a new hospital for white patients adjoining the out-patient department, a dental school building, general remodelling of the incompleted top floor of McGuire Hall for experimental surgery with animals and other activities, and the fireproofing of the Egyptian Building as a museum, are with other future projects. Their fulfillment will de- pend upon better financial conditions and the continued support of loyal, generous friends and appropriations by the State. When this plant has been completed, the number in the student body will probably be less even than at present, in- cluding a fellowship system in graduate educa- tion, the emphasis in all schools and departments to be placed upon quality and not quantity. neering group. To perpetuate their memory, it has been sug- gested that th; room in the li- brary used for meetings of the faculty and the Board of Visitors be dedicated to them and desig- nated as the Founders ' Room. There appropriate portraits and other articles of interest related to the first faculty can well be housed. The first college building, used both for laboratories and pa- tients, was the remodelled old Union Hotel located at Nine- teenth and Main Streets. On a lot provided at the expense of the city, the Egyptian Building, partly financed by loans from the State, was completed for oc- cupancy in the fall of 1845. The architect was Thomas S.

THE X-RAY 1934 William T. Sanger, B.A., M.A., Ph.D., LL.D. President of the College MEDICAL COLLEGE OF VIRGINIA A department of Hampden-Sydney College from 1838 to 1854, an independent organization from 1854 to i860, a State institution since i860, enlarged and enriched by consolidation with the University College of Medicine and Memorial Hospital in 191 3 — this in a word is the history of the Medical College of Virginia. From the first, medicine and pharmacy were taught; then pharmacy emerged as a separate course for pharmacists. During the last decade of the last century, dentisty and pharmacy were made separate schools, followed by nursing during the first quarter of the new century. From the start, teaching medicine at the bedside with patients housed within the institution was the practice. This was probably a unique distinction in those early days. In i860, the college got its first separately organized hospital, and in 1867 an out-patient department was opened. This early emphasis upon clinical facilities and teaching of a modern sort accounts no doubt for the widely established reputation of the college for superior instruction in clinical subjects. Dr. Augustus L. Warner, first dean of the faculty and professor of surgery and surgical anatomy, was perhaps the leading spirit in the effort which led to the opening of the college in the fall of 1838. Associated with him were Dr. John Cullen in medicine, Dr. R. L. Bohannan in obstetrics, gynecology and pediatrics, Dr. Lewis W. Chamberlayne in materia medica and thera- peutics, Dr. Socrates Maupin in chemistry and pharmacy, Dr. Thomas Johnson in anatomy and physiology, and Dr. Robert Munford as demonstrator of anatomy. This first faculty was a pio- PAGE 14
