HISTORY.
Vanderbilt Unh'ersity owes its foundation to the munificence of Cornelius Vanderbilt, of New York, who on
March 27, 1873, made a donation of $500,000 for the purpose of establishing the Uni\'ersity.
'fhis donation was
subsequen Oy increased to $1,000,000.
MI'.W. H. Vanderbilt, son of the Founder, made donations at various times for buildings and equipment. His
benefactions amounted to ~500,000.

erected Mechanical Engineering Ball, made gifts to curI'ent expenses, and left a bequest of $50,000 for endowment. His various gifts amounted to $100,000.
Mr. W. K. VandCl'bilt, grandson of the Founder, has
g-iven to the Unh'ersity more than $500,000. His donations have been used for the erection of Kissam Hall, a
large dormitory accommollating tow hundred students,
for current expenses, for the rebuilding of College Rall
after the fire of 1905, and for the purchase and improvement of the South Campus, the home of the Medical Department.
In JanullJ'y, Inll, the General Education Board of

In lSD5, Yanderbilt
University
undertook
a complete
reorganization
of the Medical School and erected what
was considered at that time a commodious and splendidly equipped
Medical School building
on the corner of
Elm Street and Fifth A.Yenue. This building continues
to afford laboratories
for anatomy and pathology on the
upper floors, while the two lower floors are u~ed for the
Vanderbilt
Hospital and Dispensary.
Through
the generosity
of )11'. 'V. K. Vanderbilt,
grandson
of the Founder,
in lDll, the UnivCI'sity was
able to purchase
the campus and buildings
of the PeaLoe}y College for Teachers, after its removal to the west
sie}e of the city. )11'. VandCl'bilt conh'ibuted
$\50,000
for
this puqJOse.
Thi~ campus contains
sixteen
acres in
South ?\a~h\"ille, now known as the South Campus of
YanderlJilt
Universit.v.
The buildin~s
aJ'e gl'Ouped in
this he:l11tiful park, which is high and healthrnl,
is covered with 11ees am} hOlll\(}ed hv four hroad avenue's.
This
camlHls is but two blocks from the }lash\'il1e City Hospital.
Ceutral
Hall is a beautiful

especially
adaptee} for lectures and labol'ator)'

contains the heating plant which supplies heat to all of
the buildings on the campus.
It also contains the Chemica} Lahoratories
and ledlll'e rooms.
The othel' huildings
comprise
laboratories,
lecture

A GO\'el'llin~ Board was appointed by the Board
of Trust in June, 1!Jl:3.
'!'he gift of the Litterer
Laboratory
in 1!l15 was a
Nashville addition to the plant.
Mr. William
Litterer,
a philanthropic
capitalist
of
.Kash\"ille, donatell to the Medica] Department
the former
medical building
of the Unh'el'sity
of Nashville,
to be
de\"otcd to a ]a bomtory designed for bacteriological
research.
This building has been thoroughly
renO\'aterl and
specially fitted for the purposes for which it is designed.
It contllins also the ]abO! atory of physioloh'J', a large
assembly hall and class rooms.
It is situated 011 Second
A\'enue, South, and E]m Street, facing the South Campus.
In order to pro\'ide a modern hospital, designed for
teaC'hing purposes and clinica] material which woulrl be
controlleo
exclusively
by the faculty
of the Medical
School, Vllnoel'bilt
University
gave to the Board of Directors of the Galloway Memorial Hospita] a site for the
institution
on the southwest corner of the South Campus,
cOllsistin~ of three acres.
This hospital was planned by
l\Ie8~l's. Hannaford
& Rons, anrl the const,'nction
of one
of the units is partially
completed.
Owing to lack of
funds find the di'TIculties of bui]din~, however, the conIltruction
has not proceederl since 1!)1 n.
A]though
the Medical Schoo] had steadily
added to
its resonrces and facilities, the modem demands of medicn] education
were with difliculty being met.
In view
of the past record of the schoo], and in view of the favorahlo situation
of l\ash\'iIIe
as an educational
and
medica] center, the GeneT al ErlucatioJl
Board of Ne'v
YOlk decided thnt Vanrlerhilt
Unh"ersitv aITorderl an excellent opportunity

are drilled in the principles of sUI'gery j and the senior
students are drilled in the practice of surgery and abdominal surgery, including bed!:iide work in sIIlaIl sections
where, under the supen'ision of one of the professors or

SENIOR YEAR.
I nstruction in internal medicine in the Senior year is
largely clinical. Dr. Witherspoon gives one didactic lecture each week, taking up such subjecs as are not taugllt
in the third ,rear, including chielly the diseases of Ihe
stomach and bowel, cardio-vascular system, focal infections, kidneys, etc. A part of this time is devoted to
quizzing on the subject mater of previous lectures. £t is
the policy to ha\'e fewer didactic lectures and Drs. Bryan
and Oughtterson will meet the students three times a week
for class-room work where lessons are assigned in stami.
ard textbooks and students quizzed and graded, the8e
daily gl'ades counting at the end of the tel'm in determin.
ing the student's standing.
Dr. Witherspoon also conducts two clinics a week to
entire class. For these clinics special cases are selectetl
each week and the class divided into sections of fh'e, who
take the historJ', make all physical and laboratory exalllinations togeher with their diagnosis and suggested treatment, and present the cases to the clas one week later in
the professor's presence. 1'hese five sudents a1'e then
quizzed by the student body and professor, who th£>n
sums up the case and outlines the treatment based un
this report and his examination of the patient.
Similar
clinics are also conducted three times a week by the Associate Professors of Medicine. lIIany clinical cases al'e
brought before the class from time to time and their progress obsen'cd by the student body, thus giving them :111
opportunity to note the \'a lue of reatment and the general progless of the case sttHlied by them. These clinies
are held in both the Dispells3I'y and hospitals to one.
balf of the class each week. In addition to these cliuics,
there is section work in the wards of the City Hospital
four hours a week throughout the year. For this wOI'k,
classes are dh'ided into small sections and the work will
be conducted at the bedside by the various members of
this department.
Section work is also done in the Dispensnry five hours n wrek for part of the year under ~upen-ision of Dr. Jack Witherspoon.
In connection with

POST-GRADUATE
COURSEs.-The laboratory, having a
most complete outfit of all the necessary apparatus, is
especially adapted for post-graduate instruction, as well
as for the instruction of students who desire to take a
special course in laboratory resear'ch, Post-graduates desiring to avail themseh'es of modern methods of microscopic diagnosis, will find every facility extended for pursuing their studies. The laboratory is open for instruction at least six honrs each day, and the professor or his
assistants will be available at such hours as do not conflict with special clinical or other post-graduate work.
MICROSCOl'Es.-Each new student will be required to
have his own microscope. To meet the requirement arrangements have been made to sell high-grade instruments
to students upon the installment plan as outlined under
the head of fees. 'l'he great advantage of this arrangement is that each sudent will have at the close of his
college career a microscope of his own, with which he is
familiar and which has been purchased on the most economical plan.
