428 History of Medical Practice in Illinoiswas elected President, Dr. Isham Recording Secretary, Dr. Byford CorrespondingSecretary, and Dr. Andrews Treasurer. The faculty evinced itsdesire to allow none to pass from the school into the active practice of medicinewithout being qualified to assume the responsibilities of their profession.It was, therefore, resolved that the faculty invite the Illinois StateMedical Society to appoint a committee of two to attend the examinationsof candidates for graduation in the Medical Department of Lind Universityand vote upon their qualification for the degree of Doctor of Medicine.In August 1859 when the faculty of the college had been fully organized,a public dispensary was established in connection with the medical schoolwith Drs. Andrews, Byford and Horace Wardner asphysicians and surgeons.During the first year more than 3000 patients were treated by them.Both school and dispensary were installed in Lind Block where lectureand anatomical rooms were fitted up and a museum, with Dr. Wardner asits first curator, was established for illustrative purposes. The openingceremonies, held on October 10th, were conducted by Dr. Johnson asPresident of the Faculty, and were inaugurated with prayer by Rev. J.Ambrose Wright, the address being delivered by Dr. Davis.In connection with the first course of lectures, Drs. Davis and Andrewswere appointed to conduct two clinics, including one daily bedside lectureat Mercy Hospital and two weekly lectures at the college. This was a distinctadvance in the line of practical teaching over anything which hadbefore been attempted in the West.The first term opened on October 11, 1859 and terminated on March 5,i860. There were but 33 students in attendance.In November 1861, the trustees of Lind University requested the medicalfaculty to release them from that portion of the contract which requiredthem to provide the medical department with new quarters at the expirationof three years. The faculty acceded to the request and immediatelyproceeded to establish an independent organization under the name ofthe Chicago Medical College. In accord with this determination, during thesummer of 1863 the faculty commenced the formation of a building fundfrom the lecture fees. A contract was made for the purchase of the lot andbuilding at 1015 State Street near 22nd Street, which was occupied by thecollege during the spring of 1864 when, by mutual agreement, each partywas released from the original contract and the members of the facultybecame the trustees of the new college.The Chicago Medical College continued its work at this location forsix years, steadily increasing its educational facilities, extending its curriculumand, while maintaining its higher standard both for admission andgraduation, gaining a substantial increase of attendance and of public confidence.On April 25, 1868, the faculty extended the two years' curriculum
Medical Education in Illinois 429to three, each course consisting, as before, of a separate group of subjectsor studies. Still the college was in the advance, no medical school in theUnited States having then adopted so complete and extended a curriculumof study.The year 1869 marks another epoch in the life of this institution. Anarrangement was made by which Chicago Medical College, while retainingits name, became a department of Northwestern University. What wasalso important, besides its name, it retained control of its professorships andcurriculum of study.More extended facilities for instruction were already demanded andground had been leased from die authorities of Mercy Hospital and adjoiningthat institution for the erection of a suitable and commodiousbuilding. This was completed and occupied in September 1870. The introductorylecture was delivered by Dr. Johnson, which marked the openingboth of the new building and the college session of 1870-71.The structure thus occupied by the Chicago Medical College, whichseemed to possess more of an element of permanency about it than any inwhich the institution had hitherto been established, was a substantialbuilding of brick costing $25,000. It contained two large lecture rooms oramphitheaters so that instruction could be given to different classes duringthe same hour. The dissecting rooms of the Anatomical Department wereairy and well lighted, and there were well appointed laboratories forchemical and microscopic work. In the museum was a large and continuallyincreasing collection of anatomical and pathological specimens, while thelibrary and reading rooms supplied the students with many valuable booksand periodicals, enabling them to keep abreast of the medical literature ofthe day. Located in the basement of the college building was also the SouthSide Dispensary, its patients being subdivided into classes, each class havinga separate room and an attending physician. For clinical instruction herethe students were divided into small groups and assigned in rotation to thedifferent rooms and afforded an opportunity for them to make personalexamination of the patients with their instructors.The college occupied this site for 24 years, under the contract made withthe authorities of Mercy Hospital. During this period great progress wasmade in all directions. One most important feature of this growth was thefirm establishment and extension of itssystem of clinical instruction, itsbasis being the material furnished by Mercy and St. Luke's Hospitals, thedispensary and such ambulatory patients as could advantageously bebrought before the classes in the college amphitheaters. At the time of theremoval of the college to its present location in 1894, some 15,000 patientswere being treated annually at the dispensary. The clinical classes weredistributed among Mercy, St. Luke's and Wesley Hospitals.
