From a hotel-resort purchased by the Sefuenth-day Adfuentists in 1905, it has become a Class-A medical school 'with a faculty and student body numbering in the hundreds. It comprises the School of Medicine, with the White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles, and the Loma Linda Sanitarium and Hospital, tfwo schools of nursing, a School of Dietetics, and the Schools of Laboratory Technique, Physical Therapy, and X-ray Technique. Dreams of a medical school date back to.1866, 'when the twenty-year-old denomination of Sefventh-day Adfuentists began to realize the importance of health reform. Their immediate need-to combine medical and missionary training of a high quality-required a denominational school. Their efforts tofward this goal are traced in the in- stitutions they founded: Battle Creek Sanitarium 'with its School of Nursing and its ajiliation 'with the Inter- national Medical Missionary and Benevolent Associa- tion, and the American Medical Missionary College at Battle Creek and Chicago. The medical 'work kept pace with educational ex- pansion tofward the W'est. At the St. Helena Sanita- rium, Ellen Gould Hfhite envisioned a great medical work in Southern California. Out of thirty ghost hotels and resorts abandoned after the land grab of '78, john Burden, business manager of the Sanitarium, selected Mound City's Loma Linda Hotel, sixty miles east of Los Angeles. lt 'was purchased in 1905 by the denomination at a cost of ,838,5oo. So in a picturesque setting of orange groves and rich farm lands, the Col- lege of Medical Efuangelists had its beginning. As at Battle Creek a score of years before, the School of Nursing came first. Established in 1905 under the superfvision of Dr. Iulia Ufhite, it nofw functions as animportant part of the College.

Supported by a loyal faculty, the early presidents of CME, Dr. George K. Abbott and his successor, Dr. PV. A. Rnble, shouldered heavy burdens. During this formative stage of CME history, the faculty, con- stituency, and board of trustees were appointed, the curriculum outlined, and the hospital started. In 1914, Dr. Newton Evans became president, and for sixteen years led out in the rapid development of the school. After 1927, he served as dean and vice- president of the Los Angeles Division, as head of the departments of pathology and bacteriology, and as director of laboratories at the Los Angeles County General Hospital. His 'wisdom and aggressiveness have been keenly missed since his death in 1945. A small dispensary on First Street initiated the med- ical fworle in Los Angeles. By 1915, plans for a hospital in the city were under fway. The Ellen G. White Memorial Hospital has grown to be a tfwo hundred- bed hospital. The Ufhite Memorial Clinic, the out- patient department of the Los Angeles Division, ac- The old Buttle commodates more than five hundred patients a day. Dr. Percy T. Magan's invaluable- services in busi- ness, school administration, and public relations 'were extended to afwider yield 'when he succeeded Dr. Evans in 1928, IV ith the close of his administration in 1942, Dr. VV alter E. Macpherson, Professor of Physi- ology at Loma Linda, and Dean of the City Division, took his place among the presidents of CME. The value of a school is essentially determined by the men 'who shape its policies and the men 'who carry them out. Ufhether they are instructors or administra- tors or both, their influence is a continuous force, con- tributing to the success or ,failure of the institution. The College of Medical Evangelists has been richly blessed by the service of men outstanding in intellec- tual and spiritual endofwments, and in the complex field of medical science. U7 e cannot begin to list the names of those hundreds of doctors, teachers, and administrators to 'whose loyalty, time, and personal effort 'we ofwe the onfward march of CME.
