THE CLINIC NINETEEN-SIXTEEN Zlhhrehiateh iiaisturp nf Eeffersun jllilebital Ctlullege HE Jefferson Medical College, one of the oldest and most famous medical colleges in the United States, was first organized in 1825 as the medical department of Jefferson College at Canonsburg, Pa. There were then six chairs in the College, filled as follows: John Eberle, M.D., Theory and Practice of Medicine, B. Rush Rhees, M.D., Materia Medica and Institutes, Jacob Green, Chemistry, Nathan R. Smith, M.-D., Anatomy, Francis S. Beattie, M.D., Midwifery, George McClellan, M.D., Surgery. The first class numbered 107, and the first commencement was held on April 11, 1826, when a class of twenty received the degree. From 1825 to 1828 the classrooms were in the old Tivoli Theatre, 'l now 518 Locust Street, but space here being inadequate, in 1828 a building erected by a member of the Board of Trustees on Tenth Street, between Sansom and Moravian Streets, was leased for teaching purposes, and this site has ever since been occupied by the College. Up to the year 1838 the Trustees of the Jefferson Medical College were subordinate to the Parent Board in Canonsburg, but during -that year the Commonwealth of Penn- sylvania, by legislative enactment and charter, made the institution a separate and independent universityg with the Hsame powers and restrictions as the University of Pennsylvania. It is the only university in this country devoted entirely to medical education. jefferson Medical College has always been noteworthy for its distinguished clini- cians and its extensive clinical teaching. Indeed, systematic clinical methods of in- struction were here hrst inaugurated in the United States, a dispensary having been established in advance of the first session, and from the cases which it supplied surgical clinics were, for the first time in this country, conducted by the founder, George Mc- Clellan. It was in the clinics at jefferson, December 23, 1846, that the anaesthetic power of sulphurous ether was first exhibited in Philadelphia, by Dr. Mutter. In the session 1866-67 the clinical opportunities were much enlarged by the establishment of a daily clinic, the medical cases being allotted to the skilful consideration of Dr. J. M. DaCosta. In 1870 the Alumni formed an association to promote the interests of the college and medical education. In May, 1877, the first hospital was completed and opened for patients, the College being the second medical institution in this country to have its own hospital for teaching purposes. During the thirty years of the existence of its first hospital approximately 2,000,000 consultations were given and nearly 50,000 accident cases treated, more than 10,000 medical students received instructions within its walls. In 1891 a training school for nurses was established in connection with the Hospital. The jefferson Maternity was established as a separate department in 1892, and affords to the students in the College ample opportunities for practical experience in obstetrics. This department now has headquarters at 224 S. Washington Square, with a dispensary at 2545 Wharton Street. 7

THE CLINIC NINETEEN-SIXTEEN pressive, possessing a kindly manner, quiet humor and a never-failing interest in what the students are doing-justly winning his wonderful popularity as a teacher and illus- trating how the personal influence of an enlightened and loving teacher, sympathetic and noble personality gives to us boundless faith. A strict disciplinarian, and respected as such, yet most affable and considerate towards student and colleagues, tolerant of all truths, endowed with singularly happy equipoise, broad sympathies and all-around completeness, Dr. Brubaker is eminently fitted for the chair which he now Hlls with so much distinction. Owing to his great personal popularity with the students, we go to him when perplexing questions arise as to our future, to find him sympathizing with our efforts, possessing and exercising the rare gift of common-sense observation and judgment, which is the product of a broad outlook and large capabilities. To a student and a scholar, a man of unsurpassed popularity, a friend of every student and a teacher of teachers, one loved by his professional associates, and more than all by us, the Class of l9l6 of jefferson Medical College-Doctor Albert P. Brubaker, Professor of Physiology and Medical jurisprudence in Jefferson Medical College-this book, as a small tribute of our love and esteem, is affectionately dedicated. Mas t i w e i 6
