Temple University School of Medicine - Skull Yearbook (Philadelphia, PA)

Page 18 text:

 On September 16, 1901 Temple College opened a small night school offering an affordable five-year program in medicine. In its Bulletin for the year, the college proclaimed the new school “will be the equal of the very best in the city or the United States. The embryonic Temple University School of Medicine flourished in the subsequent 100 years. It paralleled and pioneered the scientific and social advances of the 20th century, performing Philadelphia's first heart transplant but also becoming the first in the city to confer a degree to a woman. Today, Temple has a large faculty, fully 200 students per class and a reputation for teaching excellence. The work of accomplished faculty and graduates, from Babcock to Jackson. Sherry to Wolpe is familiar to those both in and out of their respective fields. As the first doctors of Temple's second century, the Class of 2001 has enjoyed the full advantage of a proud and enduring tradition in medicine. Upon graduation and upon Temple's centennial anniversary we felt it was vital to acknowledge, if in a small way, our University’s history. The goal, beyond a bit of congratulation, is to glimpse how things have changed, but also, thankfully, how some important things at Temple, always stay the same.
