his death. Dr. Ephriani lngals graduated in lH4T. and for inany years has been connected it ith the college as Profese sor of Materia Medica. and also Professor of Medical Jurisprudeiue and is now one of the Trustees of the Corporation. In 1H55 the old building was remodeled and enlarged so as to acernninodate two hundred and fifty students. This was not. large enough and Dr. Brainard and his volleagues considered the plan of erecting a new building' in latin, Dr- ,Uraina-rd fell a victini to the scourge of Asiatic cholera that visited the city in the autunin ol' lHtiti. He died October Ill, of that year. and in hini the college lost one ol' its niost G'llt'l'QL't'llC p1'o111olo1's. ln his own words. the college he founded passed into other handsf but his llllllltf will be forevei' linked with its history. lle was succeeded by Dr. J. V. Z. Blaney. as President. The new building' was completed and dedivated in 15137. This was a coniniodious structure located at the southeast corner of Dearborn and Indiana streets. fllltl was well supplied with the applianees recessary for illustration and teaching. Chicago at this date was a prosperous and rapidly growing city, and its advantages as a place for a Medical College were becoming apparent. Several hospitals. dispensaries. and intirniaries were established in various parts of the Citj that gave exeellent opportunity for clinical study. Witili a new building. well equipped, and a large attendance eoiistantly iiiereasing. the future prospects of the in- stitution were indeed bright, and for at few years everything' was prosperous. Dark days. however. were just ahead. and one of the greatest disasters of niodern tiines was to inake itself felt. The great tire of MTI. that well nigh destroyed the City. laid the new College building in ashes. and the Trustees saw the accumulated work of years swept away in a few hours. The future was then very dark. as the Trustees were without nioney. without a college building. with nothing but their determination to perpetuate the institutiong they set, about the task of getting another building. and in a few years arose the new building' that still reniains. A few days after the tire teniporary quarters were Sti't ll1'Hll and here the students asseinbled through the winter of NTI-72. This was in the ainpliitheater of Cook County Hospital. corner of lilighteentb and Arnold streets. and served until a rude structure Could be built in a corner of tl1e hospital grounds. This building, known as the Col- lege under the sidewalk. though erected at a cost ot' only s2,1.5oo,. was the best building the Trustees could afford at the tiine. lt served for four years as a vollege hoine. and then the present edifice was conipleted and ready for oceupancfy .
