THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE The School of Medicine was established in March, 1825, under the leadership of Doctor Thomas Sewall. The first building was erected by the professors of the new school but later the school took over quarters in the United States Infirmary, which building was consumed by fire while in use afterwards as a military hospital during the Civil War. During this time the School of Medicine was housed in a building given by Mr. W. W. Corcoran and afterwards occupied by the Surgical Museum. On June 7, 1882, the University authorized and subsequently erected on H Street be- tween 13th and 14th Streets a building which is now the older wing of the University Hospital and has been used for this purpose since 1897. In 1898 a new wing of the hospital was completed and in 1902 the present building of the School of Medicine was erected adjacent to the University Hospital. In 1932 an additional laboratory building was constructed ad- joining the hospital and connected with the School of Medicine. The School of Medicine has had many illustrious figures of the medical profession on its faculty. In 1833 it conferred the degree of Doctor of Medicine upon William Beaumont. Besides a host of prominent clinicians, such as Dr. Kerfoot Shute, Dr. J. W. Bovee, Dr. Sterling Ruffin, Dr. Wil- liam K. Butler, and Dr. William Cline Borden, it numbers among its past faculty members such names as those of Dr. Theobald Smith, Dr. Walter Reed and Dr. Frederick F. Russell, all internationally known in their re- spective fields. Earl Baldwin McKinley Dean I
