Front Hall of the School of Medicine U IVEHSITY UF UKLAHUMA SCHIJUL UF MEHIEI IE The first and second years of the School of Medicine were established in Norman in 1900. The third and fourth years were established in Oklahoma City in 1910 when the medical school of Epworth University was taken over by the University of Oklahoma. The first degrees in medicine were conferred in June, 1911. Upon completion of the Medical School Building, the first and second years were transferred to Oklahoma City in 1928. Buildings consist of the Medical Schoolg the University Hospital, with 180 beds, and the Oklahoma Hospital for Crippled Children, with 220 beds, together with the Nurses' Home and auxiliary buildings. A seventy-bed addition to the University Hospital, for the care of Negro patients, and a three-story addition to serve as temporary housing facilities for student nurses was completed in 1945. The hospitals and Out-Patient services are primarily for teaching purposes. However, they treat indigent citizens of the state, either free or at nominal fees. Practical train- ing in obstetrics is given in the obstetrical department of the University Hospital and in the Deaconess Hospital, which is affiliated with the School.
