.Mo for 0 RNELL UN co Msmc I ARLY IN THE posals were made for the establishment of a medical schooli In fact, one such move took place before the university h d d ' ' a opene its doors to students, in 1866. Three times subsequently the issue was revived but h d 21 to be abandoned because of financial and organizational ,difficul-ties. The nearest approach to the founding of a medi- cal school was the estabilishmen-t in 1887 under the d' , , irec- tion of Mr. W. A, Viall, of a school of pharmacy, which l cosed three years later because of lack of interest For many years there existed in connection with the un' 1- versity what had been termed a medical preparatory course which, under the efficient direction of Dr. B. G. Wilder, imparted instruction in comparative and human anatomy and physiology, also in microscopy and biology. The thought of establishing a medical school in connection with the universit Y at Ithaca appealed strongly to the trustees, but they recognized th . . . e necessity of securing in advance an adequate endow- ment for its -support, as well as the establishment of hos- pitals or wards in the vicinity of the university which h ld s ou supply. the necessary clinical and hospital practice Colonel Oliver Hazard Payne founded the Medical Be- partment of Cornell University in 1898. This far-reaching, b 5 . . ene cent act was the expression of a deep-seated interest in medical education, an interest which had grown and been fostered largely through an association with Dr. Alfred L. Loomis, his physician and friend. Colonel Payne saw that for the proper development of the best type of medi- cal school it should be an integral part of a university of the first class, and he selected Cornell University as the institution best suited to fulfill the ideals he had in mind. Through the judicious management of Mr. Henry F. Dim- mock and Dr. Lewis A. Stimson, plans were perfected which resulted in the acceptance by Cornell of a Medical College fully equipped in all particulars. On the part of the university, arrangements. had been entrusted to President Schurman, Mr, Wil'liam H. Sage, and Mr. Samuel D. Halli- day of the trustees. Mr. Horace White and ex-Governor A. B. Cornell were subsequently added to this committee, and on April 14, 1898, upon theiunanimous recommenda- tion of the committee, the Cornell Medical College was inaugurated. The school was established in New York City in order that it might have adequate facilities for clinical teaching, but arrangements were made for the duplication of the Hrst two years of study at- Ithaca. ' HISTORY of Cornell University pro IVERSITY AL CCLLEGE In the words of President Dr. jacob Gould Schurman who spoke along with Dr Lewis A Stimson Th od 7 . . , e ore Roosevelt fthen the Governor of New Yorkj, and Seth L .V . . . ow fPres1dent of Columbia Universityj at the official opening of the school building in 1900 The ori in of : 8 the Cornell University Medical College remin.ds one of th b' ' e irth of Minerva. That goddess, you remember, sprang full-armed from the brain of love Our medical coll . ege is almost as miraculous a creation. A year ago no one d . . . reamt of its existence. Today it stands before the world with an actual organization and a potency of achievement which seem to presage its manifest destiny as the American A . A . . cropolis of Aesculapius. I know no better illustration of Professor Huxley's saying that 'the question of medicl a education is, in a very large and broad sense a question f o financef Most assuredly this institution could not have come into existence but for the unlimited capital which a wise head and generous hand have furnished for its foundation and support. That munificent gift is the offer- ing to humanity of one who feels deep sympath with hi y I s suffering fellow men, and who believes that their lot is to be ameliorated by the elevation of medical education. 'I suppose,' this generous benefactor once said to me, 'we all want to do some good in the world, and I should like to do something by improving the education of that profession which cares for the lives of men, heals their wounds, and alleviates their suffering' Of such a compassionate heart and intelligent understanding was the Cornell University Medical College born. Oliver Hazard Payne was bo-rn in Cleveland, the son of U. S. Senator Henry B. Payne and Mary Perry fwhence he derived his given name after the Commodorej. He was a menmber of the class of 1863 at Yale and it was there he formed the close friendship with Lewis A. Stimson, a classmate, later Dr. Stimson, which was to have such a pro- found influence on the history of our school. fFortunately for Cornell, legal difficulties prevented Yale from sponsor- ing the New York medical school, in 1898j. He left Yale to join the Union forces and rose from First Lieutenant to Lieutenant Colonel in the 124th Ohio Infantry by Sep- tember, 1862, and in january, 1863, was made Colo-nel at the head of the regiment, which was to see much hard Hghting in the Army of the Tennessee. Colonel Payne was wounded, returned to service, and when the war closed held the brevet rank of Brigadier General of Volunteers 0130 2
