l°24. it pioneered as the first of a series of institutions which became associated with Temple Medical School in an effort to provide adequate ward facilities. Today, in addition to working at Temple University Hospital, the student is brought into contact with the staff and patients of Kagleville Sanatorium. Episcopal, Jewish, Municipal. St. Christopher’s, and Philadelphia General Hospital. I he hospital “across the street , the Temple University Hospital, was founded by Dr. Con-well in 1893 to provide medical care for the immediately surrounding community. As mentioned earlier, the hospital first participated in the training of medical students in 1901. By 1923 the existing facilities were so over crowded that a new building was erected and the remaining older sections were so renovated that the unit produced was worthy of comparison with any hospital in Philadelphia at that time. Within four ears however, the hospital had again become too small to cater to the needs of an ever increasing number of patients and further enlargement was required. At that time the name was changed from Samaritan to Temple I niver- sitv II ospital. in order to more clearly reveal it's close connection with the university. Within our years at Temple further additions have been made so that the present census is over six hundred beds. Future plans are concerned with the erection of a center to serve as a medical focal part for all North Philadelphia. The present medical school building was erected in 1929-30 at a cost of one and a quarter million dollars. It is situated directly across Broad Street from the hospital and houses most of the out patient departments and research foundations as well as laboratories, classrooms and an excellent library . It is. in truth, a building worthy of the noble aim for which it was built, the teaching of the art and science of healing. It is stimulating to realize that, as members of the class of ’48, we attended Temple Medical School while it was in its vigorous youth, and we sincerely hope that by our professional and personal conduct in the years to come we shall further its fast growing reputation as a leader in American Medicine. 10

HISTORV Of THE mEDICPL 5CHOOL The Medical Department « f Temple College was born shortly after the turn of the century. It was in 1901 that evening classes in medicine were inaugurated in the main college building at Broad and Berks Streets and clinics conducted at the Samaritan Hospital (now the Temple ('diversity Hospital) at Broad and Ontario Streets. The course of study was spread out over five years so that, with an additional seven hundred hours of daytime clinics and classes, the students of the new founded department could fulfill state requirements for a degree in medicine without sacrificing the daytime jobs l which they supported themselves and their families. This program of making available to any industrious voung man or woman the opportunity of a medical education was. of course, a part of Dr. Con well’s plan to provide the facilities for higher education in any branch of learning to as large a portion of the population as possible. I nfortunately. the idea of teaching the art of medicine at night met with considerable opposition. Some fell, with reasonable justification, that the subject matter was too important and difficult to he properly studied by anyone not fully devoted to that task. Others opposed die school merely because it was new. admitted woman and dared to introduce innovations in educational and medical methods. Consequently the college authorities started full schedule day classes in 1907. the same year that Temple became a I nivesrit). It was also in 1907 that Garrctson Hospital was annexed to the I diversity, to provide more clinical material for the growing student body : although this hospital became outmoded and was converted into basic science laboratories in 9
