mandamus obtained from court, as the charter of the college at Canonsburg had not yet been amended so as to enable it to confer the medical degree. G ' In tl1e summer of 1826 Dr. W. P. C. Barton was appointed to a new chair of materia n1edica. Litigation and discord between two of the professors affected unfavorably tl1e class of 1826-27. The old theatre building proving entirely inadequate, a member of the Board of Trustees, Rev. Ezra Styles Ely, D. D., offered to advance tl1e money to erect a suitable building, the College to take a lease upon it for five years. This building was constructed upon a lot situated on Tenth Street, between what are now called Sansom and Moravian Streets. By August, 1828, it was ready for the tenant, which has been in continuous possession ever since. The chair of midwifery having been declared vacant, Dr. john Barnes was appointed lecturer ffm fL'l1yP0l'6 for one session, and in rtpril, 1827, l1e was elected Professor. At the opening of the session of 1827-28, Dr. N. R. Smith resigned tl1e chair of anatomy. The juncture was critical, but Dr. George McClellan undertook the course on anatomy as well as his own on surgery. The Trustees being dissatisfied with the teaching in midwifery, on june 19, 1828, all the chairs were vacated and on the 26th of the same montl1 the faculty was reconstructed as follows: Surgery, George McClellan, D.D. 5 Medicine, john Eberle, M.D. 3 Materia Medica, W. P. C. Barton, M.D. 3 Institutes, B. Rush Rhees, M.D. 3 Chemistry, jacob Green, M.D. As the chairs of midwifery and anatomy were vacant, Dr. Eberle took the extra work in n1idwifcry, and anatomy was taugl1t by Dr. George McClellan, assisted by the demonstrator, Dr. Samuel McClellan. In january, 1830, Dr. George McClellan was relieved of anatomical teaching by tl1e appointment of his brother, Dr. Samuel McClellan, to the chair. In the hope of securing a more satisfactory assignment of labors in 1830, Dr. Barton having resigned, Dr. 'Eberle was transferred to the cl1air of materia medica, while undertaking to teach midwifery, and Dr. Daniel Drake, of Cincinnati, was appointed to the cl1air of practice of medicine. The session of I83O-SI opened with every professorship occupied by a man of proved ability as a writer and teacher. At the end of the session a disaster was experienced in tl1e resignation of two of the most eminent profes- sors, Daniel Drake and john Eberle. This loss and other changes made in the personnel from various causes had an unfortunate influence Upon the prosperity of the institution. For the session of 1831-32 Dr. Usher Parsons, of Providence, R. I., held the chair ot midwifery, Dr. Granville Sharp Pattison of anatomy, vice Dr. Samuel McClellan resigned. At theiend of the session Dr. Parsons resigned and Dr. Samuel McClellan was appointed professor of n1idwifery, medical jurisprudence and diseases of women and children. By 1834 Dr. john Revere had been appointed professor of medicine and a mutually acceptable organization was effected, which persisted for six prosperous Years. The teaching corps was much strengtl1ened by the election of Dr. Robley Dunglison to the chair of institutes in June, 1836. In 1838 the larger classes called for more commodious quarters, and it was decided that the old building must be altered and enlarged. To do tl1is it was desirable that the title to tl1e property, hitherto vested in Rev. E. S. Ely, should be transferred to the Board of Trustees. As these Trustees in Philadelphia were subordinate to the parent Board and could hold property in tl1eir name only, a 11ecessity arose for a distinct charter, wl1ich would enable the Philadelphia Trustees to hold and modify tl1e medical college property as a separate institution. .
