lsiswrv HIRTY-SEVEN years ago this college was founded by Dr. Gustav - C. E. Weber. It was a thrilling period in the nation's history. Our country was in the midst of a civil strife. The north was just learning ' the art of war, and the crowning victories had not yet been won.. 1 Dr. Weber, a young surgeon whom Governor Tod had appointed Surgeon- General of the State, established this school under the name of Charity Hospital Medical College. In 1869 it became affiliated with the University of Wooster, and assumed the title of the Medical Department of the University of Wooster. This association was maintained for twenty-seven years, but in 1896 the union was dissolved by mutual consent and the medical college, allying itself with the Ohio Wesleyan University, assumed the name of the Cleveland College of Physicians and Surgeons, It is interesting to note for a moment the history of the ground upon which this college stands. Here, over fifty years ago, a body of men professing one faith and believing that in fact all men are born equal, and refusing to W0fS11iP longer with those who countenanced slavery, built a church and worshipped until the cause of liberty had been won. This is consecrated ground. This church was a place of refuge for many a runaway slave and the last of the chain of stations of the greatunderground railway, 'before crossing into Canada. It is rather singular that this college, which was,fou.n'ded amid the clash of arms, is finally planted upon this spot consecrated to that principle of human liberty which was the fruitage of that great civil struggle. The excavation for the new college building was begun on June 19th, 1899 and the building was complete and formally dedicated on November 22, 1900. The building is complete in every detail from the Ventilating and cold storage plants in the basement to the smallest detail of the laboratories. Many of the professors who have been associated with this college from time to time have won fame along their respective lines. Among the productions of those who have been authors, we have Metz's Histology of the Eye, which was probably the first scientific book published on the eye in this country, Dutcher's book on Pulmonary Consumption, Mil1er's book on Gynecology, C1'i1C'S Surgical Shock, Spenzer's Pharmacology, Handerson's translation 27

of a History of Medicine, Kelley's book About Children and Martin's Proctologyf' Other members of the faculty have been editors and have written extensively for medical journals and other publications. It was probably due to the eiforts of Christian Sihler that the cold water treatment of typhoid was brought about in this city. About the time that Behring of Germany and Roux of France were experimenting with antitoxine for the cure of diphtheria, similar experiments were being carried out in our school and to our laboratories is due the honor of making the first antitoxine in this country. ' Our new building and our facilities for a higher medical education have been made possible through the self-sacrificing efforts of the faculty, the Presi- dent and Trustees of the University and our many philanthropic friends in Cleveland. We cannot measure the influence which has and will go out into our State, our Nation and foreign lands, with the trained, educated men and women graduates.
