History Of Tulane Medical School ff ulane Medical School had its auspicious beginning as the Medical College of Louisiana in ■ 11 September 1834. Three brash young medical men, all less then 26 years of age, initiated the F I J beginning of medical education in Louisiana. They were Thomas Hunt, who was to become the ■ first dean of the medical school. Warren Stone and John Harrison. In addition to these three founders, the faculty of the school consisted of four other local physicians: Augustus Cenas, Charles Luzenberg. T.R. Ingalls. and E.B. Smith. Dr. Thomas Hunt Dr. Warren Stone Dr. John Harrison Establishment of the school was met with considerable opposition from the Creoles, whose ideas concerning medical education were based on the European system which stressed academics well grounded in the Latin and Greek classics. The idea of providing medical education without this foundation was utterly incomprehensible. Furthermore, the Creoles regarded all American universities with disdain and considered them hardly on a par with the European universities. When the medical school first opened its doors in January I $35, it became the first medical school in the Deep South and the fifteenth oldest in the country. The inaugural address was given by Dean Hunt in the First Presbyterian Church. In addition to this church, various other borrowed quarters were used for lectures. A lecture room in the State House and wards in Charity Hospital also served as classrooms. These temporary facilities were the only ones available for use during the next several years, while the faculty attempted to secure the necessary funds for construction of a permanent structure to house the fledgling school. , r u LU. Ucitcif A.A ' tiA.M.f ju t 4 v k « 9LAAJt itCiAX f — A4 olajuC ' In 1 836. the governor of the state attempted to help the medical faculty obtain funding for the erection of a school building. A measure appropriating $60,000 for this purpose was proposed and passed by the senate, but it was defeated by the house. It was not until 1843 that any definitive action was taken. On March 22 of that year, a law was passed permitting the medical faculty to erect a building on a lot belonging to the state, on Common Street between Baronne and Dryades Streets. There were two conditions attached to the law: first, the faculty should donate their services to Charity Hospital without pay for ten years, and second, that one student from each parish would be admitted annually to the medical school for the next ten years. The senator and representatives from each parish were to name each candidate. The state also reserved the right to reclaim all properties at the end of the ten year period. The fact that this new bill gave the faculty of the school professional privileges at Charity Hospital created an uproar among the town ' s medical practitioners. The opposition was based on the belief that the medical school would be given a monopoly over medicine and surgery at Charity. When it was made clear that this was not the case, the medical community joined together, resulting not only in the best medical care the city had ever seen, but also providing the school with a clinical teaching hospital that was gradually evolving into one of the top such facilities in the country. Charity Hospital is credited with being the first institution of its kind in the country, having been established in January 1736. almost 100 years prior to the founding of the Medical College of Louisiana. The hospital initially opened with a total of five beds and served not only as a hospital, but also as an asylum for the indigent of the city. The original hsopital was located on a sight that is now known as the French Quarter and has since occupied four other buildings, including the present facility which was opened in 1 939. Throughout the early 1 800 ' s. the hospital expanded, until, by the mid 1 850 ' s. Charity was one of the largest hospitals in the world. It had the capability of housing 1 ,000 patients, although some patients were sleeping on pallets on the floor or sleeping two to a bed. At the present time the number of beds is given as 1 .640. However, the lack of nursing personnel has forced the closure of several wards, resulting in an actual number somewhat below this figure. Meanwhile, having obtained legislative approval for professional privileges at Charity Hospital, the faculty immediately set about drawing up the plans for a building to house the medical school. This building was estimated to cost $6,000 and was not completed until the end of 1843. In 1845. a Constitutional Convention specified that the Medical College of Louisiana was to become the Medical Department of The University of Louisiana. Two years later additional funds were appropriated to erect buildings for the new university. The original building was returned to the state to be used by the newly established law department. A much larger building was erected adjacent to the original medical building for use by the medical department. At the time of its founding, the number of medical students consisted of a grand total of eleven. From 1 834 to 1 859. the number of students grew from I I to 276. Just prior to the Civil War in 1 86 1 . the number of students increased dramatically to 404 because of political and sectional hostility which induced Southern students to abandon Northern colleges. When the war broke out. most students joined the war effort in such numbers that, by 1 862. only 94 students were enrolled. Federal occupation of New Orleans forced the closure of the medical school later that year. N. ' u, Orkoa Cii.trily Hotpiul IS34 -I9}9 In the fall of 1865. the school reopened its doors with 185 students enrolled. However, because of the devastation wrought by the Civil War and the subsequent Reconstruction, the medical school faced its most trying times. The school struggled financially for its very existence until 1 884. when a wealthy New Orleans merchant by the name of Paul Tulane bequeathed $1,250,000 for the establishment of a university. The state legislature then placed all the departments of the University of Louisiana under the newly named Tulane University of Louisiana. This donation enabled Tulane to once again assume front rank among American medical schools. By the early 1 890 ' s. rapid growth of the medical school had established the need for new facilities. In 1893. a new building, the Richardson Memorial Building, was built on Canal Street to house the medical school. Although this building was heralded as one of the best equipped medical buildings of its day. by 1907, further expansion was needed. At this time Alexander Hutchinson bequeathed a large sum in memory of his wife Josephine. This fund was used to construct a new Richardson Building on what was to become the Uptown Campus. This building would now house all pre-clinical departments. Facilities of the old Richardson Building were enlarged for clinical teaching purposes and the building was renamed the Josephine Hutchinson Memorial. Meanwhile, the school was continuously attempting to raise its standards. When the medical school was initially founded, the school year had lasted only four months, and only two full courses of lectures were required for graduation. Since only one set of courses existed, the students were expected to take the same lectures twice. Admission to lectures was gained with a ticket purchased at a price of $20. This was the sole means by which the professors were paid. Additional fees included a matriculation fee of $5, and a diploma fee of $30. Incidental expenses included the purchase of two arms for dissection at 25 cents each, and two legs at 15 cents each. At this time the only requirement for admission was the ability to finance one ' s education. Josephine Hutchinson Memorial Building 1893-1930 Gradually, the annual sessions were lengthened from the original four months to four and one-half months in 1 879. then to six months in 1 893. In later years, the length of these sessions was further extended until it evolved into what it is today. It was also in 1 893 that an educational qualification for admission was first required of all students. The minimum qualification for admission was a second grade teacher ' s certificate of a superintendent of education. Also, to further strengthen educational standards, attendence of three instead of two annual sessions was required. In 1 899. this was lengthened to four obligatory sessions. By the early I900 ' s. it became apparent that a high degree of disparity existed between different medical schools. In 1 908, Abraham Flexner was selected by the Carnegie Foundation to undertake an analysis of the state of medical education. He made a study of 1 55 American and Canadian Medical Schools, beginning at Tulane in the winter of 1908. Flexner published his report in 1910, describing shocking and deplorable conditions in many medical schools. This opened the eyes of the public and the medical community such that the Flexner Report was. in effect, an obituary for a great many medical colleges. Within a few years, almost half of the colleges had disappeared, mostly due to the adverse publicity. Although Flexner found medical education at Tulane far from ideal, he ranked Tulane among the top three medical schools of the South. Tulane ' s high ranking was based on new and excellent laboratory facilities, the teaching faculty, the clinical availability of Charity Hospital, and the post-graduate instruction provided by the New Orleans Polyclinic. Tulane University School of Medicine Class of 1910 In 1913. Tulane reorganized the medical department to include the school of pharmacy, the school of dentistry, the school of medicine and the graduate school of medicine. Today only the latter two schools remain as part of the present school of medicine. In 1 958. the division of hygiene and tropical medicine was established, which has since evolved into the school of public health and tropical medicine. The Josephine Memorial Building on Canal Street continued to house the clinical facilities of the medical school for nearly forty years. However, by the late i920 ' s, the building had become crowded and obsolete. Funds were provided for a new medical unit to be built contiguous with Charity Hospital in what is now the present location of the medical school. When the building opened in December 1930. it was acclaimed as the best medical training unit it the South. The preclinical departments, unfortunately, were still located on the Uptown Campus. Nonetheless, it was acknowledged that to provide the most enriching medical environment possible, all four years of medical education needed to be consolidated on one campus. It was not. however, until October of 1955 that a ten story addition to the Hutchinson Memorial Building enabled the second year departments to be moved downtown. This left only the first year departments on the Uptown Campus. In 1 963. further additions to the downtown facility were built to house the first year departments, finally allowing the medical school to reunify its entire four classes in one building for the first time since t he early I900 ' s. lulanr Medical School Today Tulane Medical Center - Opened 1976 In 1969, the Tulane Medical Center was established, an organizational structure which broadened Tulane ' s commitments to medical education, research and patient care. The Tulane Medical Center Hospital and Clinic, the first such university hospital in Louisiana, was dedicated in October 1976. This 300-bed hospital enabled Tulane to consolidate a wide range of patient services in a tertiary care environment. In the few short years since its opening, it has become a major referral center for the region. Since its founding 1 52 years ago as The Medical College of Louisiana. Tulane has undergone many changes, and not just in name. Several buildings have come and gone. While many different students and faculty members have occupied these buildings, so have federal troops during the Civil War. Throughout the years, however. Tulane has always strived to improve its standards of medical education such that it is now ranked among the top medical schools in the country, and perhaps the world. Though Tulane originally catered to students mainly from the South, it now attracts graduates from all parts of the United States. From its meager beginnings in 1834 with I I students. The Tulane University School of Medicine has gone on to confer a total of 12,581 medical degrees including those conferred on the graduates of the Class of 1986.

Its All Greek To Me The staff of Aesculapius (Latin spelling) is pictured as a wooden staff with a single serpent twining around it. Aesculepius (Creek spelling) was the Greek god of medicine, and was the son of Apollo and the nymph Coronis. According to legend Coronis was killed for being unfaithful, but Aesculapius was saved and raised by Chiron, the centaur, who taught Aescula- pius the ways of the healing arts. Aesculapius married Eipone and had several children including two daughters. Hygiea and Panaceia. and two sons. Machaon and Podaleirios. the two sons being noted by Homer in the Iliad as physicians during the Trojan War. The remedies practiced by Aesculapius varied from benign advise such as fasting to reduce fever, to more violent therapies of bleeding, abstinence, and friction . Many temples were built for Aescu- lapius, the more famous ones being Cos. Cnidus, and Epidaurus, and it was common for stricken individuals to actually sleep at the temples whereby the gods would visit them at night and their dreams would be interpreted in the morning for clues toward the cure of their ailment. One legend describes Aesculapius ' death as a result of a thunderbolt hurled by Zeus who was jealous of the healing skills possessed by Aesculapius as they threatened to make men immortal and therefore equals to the gods. The tradition of Aesculapius was brought to Rome around 293 B.C. in hopes that it would bring good luck and healing against a plague that was at that time assalting the city. The image of Aesculapius was always with a walking staff in hand, around which twined a single serpent. The snake has historically represented wisdom, learning and fertility. It ' s association with the healing arts may well come from it ' s long life, keen eyesight, and annual renewal of skin. The staff and snake symbol eventually came to stand on it ' s own to represent the pure, ethical, and non-commercial ideals of medicine. It is currently the symbol for the Royal Medical Corps of Great Britain, the American Medical Association, and the Royal Canadian Medical Corps. The caduceus consists of a long, straight staff, topped by a pair of wings, and around which two serpents are entwined. It ' s development into a symbol for medicine is somewhat more obscure. A look to Greek mythology reveals that the staff is associated with Hermes, the wing-fooled messenger of the gods (Roman: Mercury), who carried the staff as a symbol of peace. As legend goes the staff was originally given to Hermes by Apollo as a reward for allowing Apollo to invent the lyre. The staff had the power to unite all things divided by hate: when Hermes traveled to Arcadia he came upon two serpents locked in combat at which lime he placed the staff between them and observed the cessation of their fighting and a friendly entwining of both snakes around the staff. The word caduceus roughly translates to herald ' s wand in Greek. The wand was carried by heralds and town cryers. and served as both a symbol of public office and as an emblem of peaceful and neutral gatherings. It was first used as a medical symbol in the 16th century by Johann Froeben. a publisher of medical books, who used to print the caduceus on his title pages. Then a physician to Henry VIII began to use the emblem on his crest. In 1856 the caduceus was associated with the Hospital Stewards of the U.S. Army . In 1871 the U.S. Public Health Service began to use the symbol, and it was finally adopted by the U.S. Army Medical Corps in 1910. One possible reason for the development of the caduceus to represent medicine over the staff of Aesculapius is thai ll is a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing symbol. — David R.

Neurologists are poor imitators of Sherlock Holmes; they often solve the crime but rarely bring the criminal to justice. In New Orleans, there are no traffic laws, just traffic sugges- tions. During staff rounds, expect your patient to present with le- sions incompatible with the ones already described to the staff. If you don ' t cover your tail, someone else will have a good time kicking it. The mere threat of surgery, even without an incision, is often therapeutic. Thought apnea is the condition in which one cannot think and breathe simultaneously. There is no shame in being lost in Metairie or Gretna. 104 The Surgeon ' s Lament Modified lyrics by B. Cherry 6 L. Shack Oh Lord, il ' s hard lo be humble When you ' re perfect in every way I can ' l wait to go in the OR. Cause I get better and better each day To know me is to love me I must be one hell of a man Oh Lord, it ' s hard to be humble But I ' m doing the best that I can My head is so filled with knowledge There ' s not one thing that I do not know I might ask a student what he thinks And then I tell him where to go You ' d think that I could mellow out some But then it just wouldn ' t be me I ' m not happy unless I ' m discussing Some unheard of bizarre malady Chorus I go to the hospital each Saturday If I feel like it I ' ll wear a tie I make rounds with the residents And tell them their patients will die If brilliant suggestions aren ' t followed Coming forth from my cranial vault I ' ve been here so long and I ' ve never been wrong Not one screw up was ever my fault Chorus Some people say I ' m too macho A surgeon alone tough and proud Hell I could have friends if I wanted but Then I wouldn ' t stand out from the crowd They say I ' m a bit egotistical Well I don ' t even know what that means But I think it has something to do with the number Of beepers I wear on my jeans Chorus Some people talk of a statue And others have mentioned a church In my honor they ' ll build, sculpt, and chisel And place it where no one need search They ' ll coat every structure with teflon To block stickage of small bird debris I might be a little self centered But I won ' t have anyone poop on me Chorus I drive around in a Mercedes And I also got a Porsche and a Z I keep the windows rolled down So everybody can look in and see The top of this beautiful body Attached lo these marvelous hands There ' s only one part of me that ' s more impressive And that ' s my testosterone glands Chorus I ' m not especially holy But I try to attend church each week So all those little people At my greatness can gel just one peek Now at church I serve one other function And I do it just lo be nice I stay one hour after the service So God can ask me for advice Oh. Lord it ' s hard to be humble When you ' re perfect in every way I can ' t wait to go in the OR. Just to see who I ' m cutting today To know me is to adore me I must be one hell of a man Oh Lord it ' s hard to be humble But I ' m doin ' the best that I can.

Three reasons why most Louisiana physicians select Louisiana Medical Mutual Insurance Company (LAMMICO) to be their professional liability insurer. One. All of LAMMICO ' s functions are controlled by physicians, which makes the Company especially responsive to the particular needs of its policyholders. Two. LAMMICO is wholly owned by its physician policyholders, so that any investment income and cost savings which accrue are used to reduce premiums. Three. LAMMICO ' s financial profile is a sound one due to the Com- pany ' s steadfast commitment to prudent business management. Entering private practice for the first time? A substantial premium discount may apply.

I hate good-byes hut in closing will, as usual, offer my words of wisdom ' - You can do anything you want if you just don ' t quit. Best of luck always ' I ' ll miss you. Mary Ooswitz (1 149) P. S Thank you mom. dad. Dr. Newman, and Dr. Huete for your support - without it my participation would not have been possible! As Advertising Editor. I would like to thank all the generous companies and businesses who have adver- tised with us, and give very special thanks to parents and faculty sponsors, as without them this yearbook would not be possible. I would also like to thank my husband Bob (and Sammy, my dog!), for without them Nancy Hunter M.D. would not have been possible. I love you! Smiles We came wearing smiles over feelings of excitement and fear We learned with an expression of seriousness, a determination to succeed We shared wearing smiles of joy as friendships developed We cried over our setbacks and fruslrationsi because we put so much into our work and lives, no smile could be mustered at these times We rejoiced our victories with laughter and togetherness - a smile taken to its fullest We cared for our patients with compassion and a look of hope We grew from it all we changed and developed toward the fulfillment of a dream We part with smiles of nostalgia, which in my case cover tears of sadness as I bid farewell lo those with whom I ' ve shared so much Please, my friends, go forth on your paths unmasked. letting your own beauty shine through. and see the whole world smile back at you — David Nancy I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I will go to it laughing. (Melville) Thanks to my parents for being the best, and thanks to the class of ' 86 for being my friends. — Ellen To the Class of 1986. It has been a good four years. Together we have been introduced to the science and the art of medicine. We have also grown lo know each other better The tribulations of Gross, the stress and joy of our clinical rotations, and the pleasure of our free time together have given us a sense of unity. Four years is a long lime: yet now it seems so short as we are about to leave medical school and establish ourselves as interns. The purpose of the TWave ' 86 is to capture the moments thai we have spent together in school as a class and in our leisure as a family. If this book helps you remember how you matured and laughed during your time here, then this book is a success. In our small parts as layout editors, we have learned that putting out a yearbook is not easy. It requires a great deal of hard work and patience Everyo ne on the yearbook staff. DO.. Nancy. Ellen. Mary, and Ted were simply awesome. We commend them for all the time and effort they so freely gave We also commend the class for their help with pictures and creative ideas. Together the class and the yearbook staff have created a good product. Well, we would like to close by wishing everyone the best as we all scatter to where the future takes us. We would like to thank the entire class for the privilege of working with you in school, being with you at home, sharing with you in our limes of good and bad. and learning from you as we always did — Anthony and Auxford Years from now we will all be looking back at this small book packed with memories of special times in our lives. Few experiences can bring people close like a freshman year of medical school. What rare memo- ries germinated in the last four years. I ' ll remember best: crawfish boils, Mardi Cras. Ftalloween costumes and Hawthorne Hall, levee sunsets. Worlds Fairs, canoeing, camping, and Cadaver Ball, Cajun dancing, gulf fishing. Charity Wards, but best of all. Kale. I hope these pages wilt not only record events in pictures, but also conjure many personal memories we each possess. Only during my senior rotations away do I begin to appreciate the richness of our Tulane experience. I have met people from all over the country and the world. I see the varied learning opportunities we had only at Tulane and the quality of the people in our class. A few of those who collected these memories for this book and spent the long weekends and nights putting them together will never really be thanked enough for their grand effort. Most are mentioned on the front page of this book. I thank you here for the dedication and energy pul into these pages. Thanks also to Tulane for allowing use of the yearbook room, to our advertisers, and to those departments and individuals who bought yearbooks because of their interest in our class. As we now look forward lo residencies I will share two of my favorite thoughts: The purpose of life is to serve, lo show compassion and a willingness to help (Schweitzer), and when things get lough think Vini Vidi Vici (Julius Caesar).
