420 History of Medical Practice in Illinoispreparing for examinations, and that it was not a reliable test of the student'sattainments.In 1871 the failing health of Dr. Blaney led him to retire from activework in the college. He resigned his professorship and the presidency, andwas appointed Adjunct Professor of Chemistry and Pharmacy. However, hesoon ceased to work and only lived three years. Dr. Freer was appointedPresident. Dr. Henry M. Lyman was appointed to the chair of Chemistryand Pharmacy. Dr. Ingals resigned the chair of Materia Medica, and Dr.Etheridge was elected to the position.The course of 1871-72 opened auspiciously, but had proceeded only afew days when it was interrupted by the complete destruction of the collegebuilding and all its contents by the fire of October 8 and 9. In the confusionof the devastation, the college classes were scattered with the armyof houseless and homeless people. Rush Medical College existed only as alegal entity in its vested rights and its trustees and faculty, some of whomwere seeking places in which to live and resume business. Its only asset wasthe college lot on which there was a mortgage for an amount larger thanits value. In a few days, however, classes were called together again andlectures were resumed. The small clinical amphitheater at the top ofthe County Hospital was offered to the college for its use, and the ChicagoMedical College generously invited Rush to make use of its dissecting room.Both these offers were accepted, and with these facilities the course wascarried through. The trustees of the college then built a temporary structure—the college under the sidewalk— to serve through the period of waitinguntil a new college could be erected, as was planned, near the projectednew County Hospital. The temporary structure was a rude brick affairwith a tar roof, an amphitheater at one end and at the other a laboratoryover which was a dissecting room. It was unplastered within, very rough,amazingly ugly, but it served its purpose for four years.In 1876, the college moved into its new and commodious building on thecorner of Harrison and Wood Streets, diagonally opposite the new CountyHospital.Dr. Rea resigned the professorship of Anatomy in1875 and Dr. Parkeswas at once promoted to the position. Dr. Albert B. Strong was then appointedDemonstrator.On April 12, 1877, the college lost by death its second President, Dr.Freer, who was succeeded by Dr. Allen. Several other important changesoccurred in the faculty. Dr. Powell resigned his professorship and the chairof Military Surgery was abolished and has not since been restored. Dr.Lyman was transferred to the chair of Physiology and had added to hisduties the teaching of the Diseases of the Nervous System. Dr. Walter S.Haines was appointed Professor of Chemistry and Toxicology, to give
Medical Education in Illinois 421practically his entire time to the college work in this department. Theteaching of chemistry in the spring term was omitted, except in the laboratory;thorough although not extensive laboratory courses were instituted,and the following year were required as a condition of graduation.This year (1877) witnessed the first announcement of any clinical workin the college, except in the Department of Surgery. Prior to this Dr. Gunnhad had a surgical clinic which was uniformly successful and valuable. Nowthe following clinics were announced: Diseases of the Nervous System byDr. Lyman; Diseases of the Heart and Lungs by Dr. Ross; Medicine by Dr.Bridge, each to be held once a week throughout the year. The followingyear a clinic on Skin and Venereal Diseases by Dr. J.N. Hyde was announced.Thus was inaugurated a wider scope of clinical teaching in thecollege. In 1880, four more clinics were added to the list: Orthopedic Surgeryby Dr. Owens; Diseases of Children by Dr. Miller and Dr. Knox;Gynecology by Dr. Byford and Dr. Nelson, and Diseases of the Eye andEar by Dr. Holmes. In 1882, the clinic in Orthopedic Surgery was permanentlydropped from the list, Dr. Owens having resigned his chair. In1884, a clinic on Diseases of the Throat and Nose by Dr. E. Fletcher Ingalswas added, later enlarged to include also Diseases of the Chest. At the sametime a second clinic on Surgery was begun by Drs. Gunn and Parkes. In1890, the service in the Department of Skin and Venereal Diseases was increasedto two clinics a week of one hour each.In 1879, Dr. Miller requested that his chair be divided and a separatechair of Gynecology instituted. This request was granted, and the positionwas accepted by Dr. Byford.In 1881, Dr. Danforth was appointed Professor of Pathological Histologyand Lecturer on Renal Diseases but resigned the following year. Both heand Dr. Owens, who had also resigned, immediately accepted positions inthe Chicago Medical College.The college suffered loss by death of four of its senior members withinthe years 1887 and 1890: Drs. Gunn, Byford, Ross and Allen. Dr. Parkeswas transferred to the chair of Surgery, and the chair of Anatomy wastaken by Dr. Arthur D. Bevan. Dr. Etheridge was transferred to the chairof Gynecology, and Dr. D. R. Brower became professor of Mental Diseases,Materia Medica and Therapeutics in his stead. Dr. Bridge, who had forseveral years been Professor successively of Hygiene and of Pathology, andadjunct in Practice of Medicine, was transferred to the chair of ClinicalMedicine.In 1889, Dr. Nicholas Senn was appointed Professor of the Principles ofSurgery and Surgical Pathology, as a colleague of Parkes. He resigned in1890, but on the death of Dr. Parkes early in 1891, he was appointed Professorof Practice of Surgery and Clinical Surgery, Dr. John B. Hamilton
