19 Rush Medical College. A HISTORICAL sKE'rcH. 'I' IS almost an invariable rule that great enterprises are of small beginnings, albeit of great conceptions. Rush Medical School is no exception, having advanced from obscurity to great renown. In 1837, Dr. Brainard and Dr. J. C. Goodhue sought new means of increasing the facilities for medical education. During that year they obtained a charter from the State of Illinois for the organization of Rush Medical College. This was the first chartered educational institution in the state, and the Hrst medical school in the Northwest. Lectures were not given until 1843 on account of the depression and stagnation of trade following the crisis of '37, and the resultant dissolution of the Bank of Illinois, in February, 1842. On December 4, 1843, the first course of lectures was commenced in two small rooms on Clark Street, by a Faculty of four professors, Drs. Daniel Brainard, I. V. Z. Blaney, Ino. McLean, and Knapp. The course was of sixteen weeks' duration, the number of students attending the lectures was twenty-two. Of this number only one, William Butterfield, presented himself for graduation. Late in tl1e following year liberal citizens saw the prospective good of the institution and donated a lot on the southeast corner of Dearborn Avenue and Indiana Street, upon which a 253,500 building was erected. Upon entering tl1e new building the Faculty was greatly strengthened by the addition of several new members, the entire staff is here given: President, Daniel Brainard, Professor of Surgery, Austin Flint, Professor of the Institutes and Practice of Medicineg G. N. Fitch, Professor of Obstetrics and of Diseases
