Chris- tened the College of Physicians and Surgeons when it opened, it became in 1894 the University College of Medicine, founded by the great Hunter Holmes McGuire. He served as professor of surgery in the Medical College of Virginia from 1865 until 1880. During his distinguished career, he served as president of both the American Medical Association and the American Surgical Association and held many other important offices. The new college was composed of three schools: medicine, dentistry and pharmacy, the first two having three year curricula and the latter a two year program. Virginia Hospital provided the necessary clinical facilities for the school of medicine; those for the dental school were in the College building. According to Dr. Wyndham B. Blanton, estab- lishment of the new institution was to have a most salutary effect on the old; for it stirred the latter to stronger efforts which brought about great progress.

Among the schools which were consolidated were the Medical College of Virginia and the University College of Medicine, the consolidated institution car- rying the name of the older institution.
