The HisTorical CaTalogue of l909 noTes ThaT Thai' de- parTmenT was well-equipped Tor doing excellenT worlr. lTs Three laboraTories were equipped wiTh The necessary TixTures and con- veniences Tor all general purposes. However, suTTicienT faciliTies were noT available during The TirsT Tew years of operaTion for as varied a field of sTudy as The auThoriTies had infended. The Pharmacy DeparTmenT began To experience iTs largesT period of expansion wiTh The erecTion of The ChemisTry and Pharmacy Building in I923. Prior To This Time, The deparTmenT had been operaTing in inadequaTe, overcrowded quarTers, which made im- provemenl' and expansion pracTically impossible. WiTh The acquisi- Tion of The new building, The Pharmacy School was able To increase The number of laborafories and insTall new and improved equip- menT.

' YT: Ms. ii M52 C T T522 - . e - ,viii 9 r y N-- E THE HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL SCHOOL BUILDING he School of Medicine was founded by a special ac'l of Ihe Board of TrusIees in June, I903. This deparImenI had been anIicipaIed Ihough, as early as Ihe school year l870-7l. AI IhaI Iime Ihe Board of TrusIees passed a resoluIion relaIive Io esIab- lishing a medical deparImenI. This school, as proposed, would be based on Ihe plan in use aI Ihe UniversiIy of Virginia: and iI would be organized as soon as Ihere were suIIicienI Iunds for Ihe underIalring. The underIalcing proved evidenIly Ioo ambiIious, for aIIer Ihe founding of Ihe DeparImenI of Medicine and Surgery , which was heralded by Ihe caialogue from I87O Iill IB79, iI was dropped in I880. The Medical School which was finally founded embraced only Ihe IirsI Iwo years of Ihe regular four year course. lI meI wiIh much difIiculIy during Ihe firsI years of iIs early exisIenceg noI only because of very inadequaIe IaciliIies and quarIers, buI also because of opposiIion of physicians IhroughouI Ihe sIaIe Io a medical school away from a large ciIy. These diIIiculIies were, however, overcome in a very few years. ln l908 Ihe Chancellor was approached by Iwo genIlemen connecIed wiIh Ihe sIaIe charify hospiIal aI Viclcsburg. They came wiIh regard Io Ihe esIablishmenI of Ihe lasI Iwo years of medicine aI IhaI hospiIal. The offer of Ihe hospiial was accepIed and Ihe whole Iour year course was carried ouI during l9l0-I9lI. II was disconIinued alfer IhaIg and reverIed Io iIs previous Iwo year Iorm. AI Ihe presenI Iime, Ihe Medical School is sIill of only Iwo years duraIion. However, Iegislafion relaIive Io Ihe esIablish- menI of a four year medical college and a Ieaching hospiIal is scheduled Io come before Ihe sIaIe legislaIure during Ihis session. The School of Medicine in iIs presenI Iorm offers Ihe course of sIudy headed generally as Iollows: Anafomy, Bacferiology, and Clinical Laboraiory Diagnosis, Pharmacology, PaIhology, Physi- ology, Physiological ChemisIry and Clinical Medicine. This school is now operaIing on an accleraIed schedule permiIIing a sIudenI Io finish his regular Iwo years worlz in one and one-half years. David S. Panlrrafz is Ihe Dean of Ihe School of Medicine. - e. s ln, - I - -.... ..--..f-..-,- - - 7 ' - ' I A-'Y
