; 1909. ibc Tuhinc Mcdiail Center was established, :in organizational structure which broadened Tulanc ' s commitments to medical education, research and patient care. The Tulane Medical Center Hospital and Clinic, the first such university hospital in Louisiana, was dedicated in October 1976. This 300-bed hospital enabled Tulane to consolidate a wide range of patient services in a tertiary care environment. In the Few short years .since its opening, it has become a major referral center for the region. Since its founding 150 years ago as The Medical College of Louisiana. Tulane has undergone many changes, not only in name. Several buildings and locations have occupied ihcic buildings, .so have federal troops during the Civil War. There have been periods of financial plenty, followed by periods of financial drought. Throughout the years, however, Tulane has always strived to improve its standards of medical education so that today it is ranked among the top medical schools in the country, and perhaps the world. From its meager beginnings in 1834 with 1 1 students. The Tulane University School of Medicine has gone on to confer a total of 12.291 medical degrees including those conferred on the graduates of the Class of 1984. ■ r I ' r : r J J.

Josephine Hutchinson Memorial Building 1893-1930 In 1913, Tulane reorganized the medical department to include the school of pharmacy, the school of dentistry, the school of medicine and the graduate school of medicine. Today, only the latter two schools remain as part of the present school of medicine. In 1958, the division of hygiene and tropical medicine was established, which has since evolved into the school of public health and tropical medicine. The Josephine Hutchinson Memorial Building on Canal Street continued to house the clinical facilities of the medical school for nearly forty years. However, by the late 1920 ' s, the building had become crowded and obsolete. Funds were provided for a new medical unit to be built contiguous to Charity Hospital in what is now the present location of the medical school. When the building opened in December 1930, it was acclaimed as the best medical teaching unit in the South. The preclinical departments, unfortunately, were still located on the Uptown Campus. Nonetheless, it was acknowledged that to provide the most enriching medical environment possible, all four years of medical education needed to be consolidated on one campus. It was not. however, until October of 1955 that a ten story addition to the Hutchinson Memorial Building enabled the second year departments to be moved downtown. This left only the first year departments on the Uptown Campus. In 1963, further additions to the downtown facility were built to house the first year departments, finally enabling the medical school to reunify its entire four classes in one building for the first time since the early 1900 ' s. 10
