9 3 6 I I listory of the School Tl 1E Medical School tli at we have come to know so well now stands as a fitting monument to those pioneers in the modern phase of education who carried on a dauntless struggle in the face ol overwhelming adversity, whose courage ol convictions, sincerity of purpose, and undying spirit now stands as hut a memory, hut one whic h forms an integral part ol the very foundation ol oar institution. I he spirit of the beloved Dr. Conwell is inseparably linked with the development of the school. His was the mission to provide the opportunity of education to those deserving young men and women who found it necessary to earn their own livelihood- In response to the appeals of seven young men desiring to enter the Christian ministry. I)r. Conwell. in 1884, planted the seed that was the humble beginning of I emple University. So well was his plan received, that in the Spring of 1901. in response to tin-appeals of a small group of students eager to obtain a medical education and yet remain sell supporting, tlie hoard of trustees of Temple College determined to establish an evening medical school. I he noble spirit behind this move was the more evident in view of the fact that Philadelphia already boasted of several Class A medical colleges, hut whose doors were closed to financially handicapped students. A faculty of 20 professors and instructors was formed, headed by I )r. Fritz, the first dean, and a five year curriculum with 700 hours of daytime instruction each year, was outlined. I he 51 ambitious students constituting the first class met at the main College building, at Broad and Berks Streets, and at the Samaritan I lospital.

Dr. Conwell had the hospital moved to its present location, and on January 50. 1892. the Samaritan I lospital was formally dedicated, under a new staff. A year later a state charter was obtained, and in 1896 the addition of a rear annex and other modifications increased the rapacity of 20 beds to 40. Five years later, a state-made building grant to the hospital resulted in the erection of a one story central building for administrative purposes, and a three story north wing. In view ol the recent affiliation with the new Medical School the staff was reorganized, with Dr. I. Newton Snively. medical dean. Dr. Wolfe and Dr. Reed the chief physicians. Dr. Edmund Holmes, chief surgeon, and Dr. W. Wayne Babcock, obstetrician and gynecologist. In 1905. Dr. Babcock became surgeon in-chief subsequent to the resignation ol Dr. Holmes. Dr. J. C.
