The History of the Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital of Philadelphia Contrast, if you will, the small, four-story, white stone building, once a private school and later a meeting place for the Swedenborgian Church, opened on October 16, 1848, as the Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania and situated in the rear of 229 Arch Streetg with the 19-story brick and stone hospital sky-scraper which now breaks the skyline of North Broad Street, and proclaims itself as the most modern and largest Homeopathic Hospital in the world-a contrast made possible by 80 years of constant endeavor.

Vastly different as these two buildings and these two scenes are, there lie back of each one the same activating principles-a firm conviction in the efihcacy of the homeopathic healing art, and an unswerving determination that the principles of homeopathy should be permanently and fertilely implanted in this new soil of Philadelphia. ' In September, 1849, the first step toward gleater things was made when the college was removed to more desirable quarters on F ilbert Street between Eleventh and Twelfth Streets. Now the roll showed 55 matriculants as compared with the original 15 the previous year. In 1855 a building and premises on Filbert Street were secured as the third home of the college. The next step took place when in 1867 Dr. Hering and some of his associates secured the charter of the Xilashington Medical College of 1'hiladelphia, which had e 10
