THE HISTORY OF
TULANE MEDICAL SCHOOL
Tulane University School Of Medicine - 1834
HISTORY OF TULANE MEDICAL SCHOOL
Tulane Medical School had its auspicious beginning as the Medical College of Louisiana in September 1834. Three brash young
medical men, all less than 26 years of age, initiated the beginning of medical education in Louisiana. They were Thomas Hunt, who
was to become the first dean of the medical school, Warren Stone and John Harrison. In addition to these three founders, the
faculty of the school consisted of four other local physicians: Augustus Cenas, Charles Luzenberg, T. R. Ingalls and E. B. Smith.
Dr. Thomas Hunt, Dean
1834 - 1835 and 1852 - 1862
Dr. John H. Harrison Dr. Warren Stone
Establishment of the school was met
with considerable opposition from the
Creoles, whose ideas concerning medical
education were based on the European
system which stressed academics well
grounded in the Latin and Greek classics.
The idea of providing medical education
without this foundation was utterly in-comprehensible.
Furthermore, the Cre-oles
regarded all American universities
with disdain and considered them hardly
on a par with the European universities.
When the medical school first opened
its doors in January 1835, it became the
first medical school in the Deep South
and the fifteenth oldest in the country.
The Inaugural address was given by Dean
Hunt in the First Presbyterian Church. In
addition to this church, various other bor-rowed
quarters were used for lectures. A
lecture room in the State House and
wards in Charity Hospital also served as
classrooms. These temporary facilities
were the only ones available for use dur-ing
the next several years, while the facul-ty
attempted to secure the necessary
funds for construction of a permanent
structure to house the fledgling school.
In 1836, the governor of the state at-tempted
to help the medical faculty ob-tain
funding for the erection of a school
building. A measure appropriating
$60,000 for this purpose was proposed
Eind passed by the Senate, but was defeat-ed
in the House. It was not until 1843
that any definitive action was taken. On
March 22 of that year, a law was passed
permitting the medical faculty to erect a
building on a lot belonging to the state, on
Common Street between Baronne and
Dryades Streets. There were two condi-tions
attached to the law: first, the faculty
should donate their services to Charity
Hospital without pay for ten years and
second, that one student from each par-ish
would be admitted einnually to the
medical school for the next ten years.
The senator and representatives from
each parish were to name each candi-date.
The state also reserved the right to
reclaim all properties at the end of the
ten year period.
The fact that this bill gave the faculty
of the new school professional privileges
at Charity Hospitcil created an uproar
among the town's medical practitioners.
The opposition was based on the belief
that the medical school would be given a
monopoly over medicine and surgery at
Charity. When it was made clear that this
was not to be the case, the medical com-munity
joined together, resulting not only
in the best medical care the city had ever
seen, but also providing the school with a
clinical teaching hospital that was gradu-ally
evolving into one of the top such
facilities in the country.
Charity Hospital is credited with being
the first institution of its kind in the coun-try,
having been established in January
1736, almost 100 years prior to the
founding of the Medical College of Louisi-ana.
The hospital initially opened with a
total of five beds and served not only as a
hospital, but also as an asylum for the
indigent of the city. The original hospital
was located on a site in what is now
known as the French Quarter and has
since occupied four other buildings, in-cluding
the present facility which was
opened in 1939. Throughout the early
1800's, Charity was one of the largest
hospitals in the world. It had the capabi-lity
of housing 1,000 patients, although
some patients were sleeping on pallets on
the floor or sleeping two to a bed. Inter-estingly
enough, it was said that "there
might be two patients to a bed, but they
each had the opportunity to take a hot
bath". At the present time, the number of
beds is given as 1,640. However, the lack i
of nursing personnel has forced the clo-sure
of several wards, resulting in an actu-al
number somewhat below this figure.
Meanwhile, having obtained legislative
approval for professional privileges at
Charity Hospital, the faculty immediately
set about drawing up plans for a building
to house the medical school. This building

was estimated to cost $6000 and was not
completed until tiie end of 1843. In
1845, a Constitutional Convention speci-fied
that the Medical College of Louisiana
was to become the Medical Department
of The University of Louisiana. Two
years later, additional funds were appro-priated
to erect buildings for the new uni-versity.
The original building was re-turned
to the state to be used by the
newly established law department. A
much larger building was erected adja-cent
to the original medical building for
use by the medical department.
At the time of its founding, the number
of medical students consisted of a grand
The New Orleans Charity Hospital
total of 11. From 1834 to 1859, the num-ber
of students grew from 11 to 276. Just
prior to the Civil War in 1861, the num-ber
of students increased dramatically to
404 because of political and sectional
hostility which induced Southern students
to abandon Northern Colleges. When the
war broke out, most students joined the
war effort in such numbers that, in 1862,
only 94 students were enrolled. Federal
occupation of New Orleans forced the
closure of the medical school later that
year.
In the fall of 1865, the school re-opened
its doors with 185 students en-rolling.
However, because of the devasta-tion
wrought by the Civil War and the
subsequent reconstruction, the medical
school faced its most trying times. The
school struggled financially for its very
existence until 1884, when the wealthy
New Orleans merchant Paul Tulane be-queathed
$1,250,000 for the establish-ment
of a university. The state legislature
then placed all departments of the Uni-versity
of Louisiana under the newly ren-amed
Tulane University of Louisiana.
This donation enabled Tulane to once
again assume front rank among American
medical schools.
By the early 1890's, rapid growth of
the medical school had established the
need for new facilities. In 1893, a new
building, the Richardson Memorial Build-ing,
was built on Canal Street to house
the medical school. Although this building
was heralded as one of the best equipped
medical buildings of its day, by 1907,
further expansion was needed. At this
time, Alexander Hutchinson bequeathed
a large sum in memory of his wife Jose-phine.
This fund was used to construct a
new Richardson Building on what was to
become the Uptown Campus. This build-ing
would now house all preclinical de-partments.
Facilities of the old Richard-son
Building were enlarged for clinical
teaching purposes and the building was
renamed the Josephine Hutchinson Me-morial.
Meanwhile the school was continuously
attempting to raise its standards. When
the medical school was initially founded,
the school year had lasted only four
months, and only two full courses of lec-tures
were required for graduation. Since
only one set of courses existed, the stu-dents
were expected to take the same
lectures twice. Admission to lectures was
gained with a "ticket" purchased at a
price of $20. This was the sole means by
which the professors were paid. Addition-al
fees included a matriculation fee of $5
and a diploma fee of $30. Incidental ex-penses
included the purchase of two arms
for dissection at 25 cents each, and two
legs at 15 cents each. At this time, the
only requirement for admission was the
ability to finance one's education.
Graducilly, the annual sessions were
lengthened from the original four months
to four and one-half months in 1879, then
to six months in 1893. In later years, the
length of these sessions was further ex-tended
until it evolved into what it is to-day.
It was also in 1893 that an educa-tional
qualification for admission was first
required of all students. The minimum
qualification for admission was a second
grade teacher's certificate of a superin-tendent
of education. Also, to further
strengthen educational standards, atten-dance
of three, instead of two, annual
sessions was required. In 1899, this was
lengthened to four obligatory sessions.
By the early 1900's, it became appar-ent
that a high degree of disparity existed
between different medical schools. In
1908, Abraham Flexner was selected by
the Carnegie Foundation to undertake an
analysis of the state of medical education.
He made a study of 155 American and
Canadian medical schools, beginning at
Tulane in the winter of 1908. Flexner
published his report in 1910, describing
shocking and deplorable conditions in
many medical schools. This opened the
eyes of the public and the medical com-

munity such that the Flexner Report was,
in effect, an obituary for a great many
medical colleges. Within a few years al-most
half of the colleges had disap-peared,
mostly due to the adverse public-ity.
Although Flexner found medical edu-cation
at Tulane far from ideal, he ranked
Tulane among the top three medical
schools of the South. Tulane's high rank-ing
was based on new and excellent labo-ratory
facilities, the teaching faculty, the
clinical availability of Charity Hospital,
and the post-graduate instruction pro-vided
by the New Orleans Polyclinic.
In 1913, Tulane reorganized the medi-cal
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 es-tablished,
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 be-come
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 ac-claimed
as the best medical teaching unit
in the South.
The preclinical departments, unfortu-nately,
were still located on the Uptown
campus. Nonetheless, it was acknowl-edged
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 Memori-al
Building enabled the second year de-partments
to be moved downtown. This
left only the first year departments on the
Uptown campus, in 1963, further addi-tions
to the downtown facility were built
to house the first year departments, final-ly
enabling the medical school to reunify
its entire four classes in one building for
the first time since the early 1900's.
In 1969, the Tulane Medical Center
was established, an organizational struc-ture
which broadened Tulane's commit-
Tulane Medical School Uptown
ments to medical education, research and
patient care. The Tulane Medical Center
Hospital and Clinic, the first such univer-sity
hospital in Louisiana, was dedicated
in October 1976. This 300-bcd 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 refer-ral
center for the region.
Since its founding 151 years ago as
The Medical College of Louisiana, Tulane
has undergone many changes. Several
buildings and locations have occupied
these 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
striven to improve its standards of medi-cal
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 11 stu-dents.
The Tulane University School of
Medicine has gone on to confer a total of
12,433 medical degrees including those
conferred on the graduates of the Class
of 1985.

THE CRESCENT CITY; NEW ORLEANS
10
An inseperable part of attending Tulane Medical
School for the last four years has been the
experience of living in New Orleans. When we
were sick of the smell of formaldehyde, or tired of
studying Micro, or freed after checkout rounds, it
was to the city surrounding the school that we
turned for entertainment and diversion.
Much as learning medicine starts with anatomy,
so too does learning a city start with learning its
parts. We first became acquainted with the
Downtown area, which surrounds the medical
school. Like all of New Orleans, this is a diverse
area; the Superdome, Charity Hospital, One Shell
Square and Camp Street are all within its
boundaries. A little further away is the French
Quarter, full of bars, tourists, and occasionally
staggering medical students. Still further is the
Uptown area, where many of us have lived these
four years and where, at the undergraduate
campus, many of us started our association with
Tulane.
After learning the structure of the city, we
moved on to the way it functions. New Orleans,
like any organism, requires food to survive.
However, food in New Orleans can vary from the
ridiculous to the sublime. How many of us have
ever tested our GI tracts with a Lucky Dog in the
Quarter? Who will forget the traditional Red Beans
and Rice on Monday, or the ubiquitous Popeye's
Fried Chicken (guaranteed to make your rectum
stand up and take notice)? On the other hand,
there are Antoine's and Galatoire's and
Commander's Palace, where we celebrated our
continued success at passing tests.
Another of New Orlean's ever present
diversions is its music. Here again, the city
displays its diversity. During the Symphony season,
classical music could be heard in the Orpheum (or
the pathology lab if Dr. Johnson's tape recorder
was working). Alternatively, there is a lively
popular music scene, with soul, rock and roll, and
country and western - for instance, the famous
Avogadro and the Moles. Jazz is to be heard
thoughout the French Quarter and, in the Spring,
at the Jazz and Heritage Festival.
Speaking of Festivals, there is that ultimate
Festival, Mardi Gras. This probably ranks as the
most significant distraction and entertainment New
Orleans has to offer. Following an ancient pagan
tradition, the city and its inhabitants welcome the
return of Spring with the largest outpouring of
bacchanalian revelry since the lions met the
Christians. Nowadays, of course, little human
sacrifice goes on; but medical students can often
be found sacrificing their studies for a good time.
Furthermore, they will frequently be heard to call
out to the local female deities to display their
bountiful charms to the worshipful crowds below
(cill in good fun, of course).
For all the many problems New Orleans has. it
has as many attractions, not the least of which is
Tulane Medical School. For those of you who
leave New Orleans to practice elsewhere, we hope
you remember it well; and, if you can find the
time, come back to visit "The Big Easy". If not, a
simple "Throw me somthin' Mister" on Fat
Tuesday will suffice.

THE LIBRARY: 150 YEARS OF SERVICE
The orgin of the Matas Medical
Library dates from the founding of the
Medical College of Louisiana in 1834.
First mention of the Library occured in
the faculty minutes in 1844. The first
librarian was appointed by the Dean in
1896. Two library directors, Miss Mary
Louise Marshall and Mr. William
Postell, were recipients of the Noyes
Award, the highest honor bestowed by
the Medical Library Association. In
1895, Dr. Rudolph Matas, a brilliant
surgeon, began his long history of
generosity to the Library which
culminated in a large endowment from
his estate in 1959. The Library had
been named in his honor in 1937.
Other endowments from which the
Library benefits are those from the
estates or families of Maurice Stern,
Isaac Lemann, Louis Burgess, James
Kenny, Hermann Gessner, and Eva
Weinstein.
Significant collections acqured by the
Library over the past century include
those of: the Louisiana Medical Library
Association, 1889, the New Orleans

The first reclassification of
monographs began in 1943, and the
second in 1960. The library area
doubled in 1963 with the completion of
the Burthe-Cottam Building. Teletype
was applid to interlibrary loans in
1968. Online database searching was
initiated in 1973. The Library was
extensively renovated, refurnished, and
centrally air-conditioned in 1978.
Circulation and cataloging systems
were automated in 1983.
For 150 years, the medical library
has served the faculty, staff and
students of the medical school. Its vast
amount of resources has continued to
be a major source of medical
information and reference. The Library
will faithfully carry on this tradition as
long as the medical school exists.

A Reading From The Book Of Episiotomy
Chapter 5, Vv. 3-0 To 6-0 Chromic.
And the LORD spake unto Neohomo, who was called Kliph, saying unto him:
"Gather ye my CHOSEN, who shall number sevenscore and eight, that you might
instructeth them in the ways of healing. Bring them to this place that I have appointed,
which place shall henceforth be called Toolain, meaning 'the appointed place'. Gather
them from all the leind; yea, verily, even from the furtherst hinterlands, Kali-phonya
and Nyauk, so that they might hear the words of healing."
And Kliph did as the LORD instructed, bringing unto Toolain the best and brightest,
that they might learn the healing arts. And when he had gathered together the
CHOSEN, Kliph called out unto the LORD, saying, "Oh LORD, 1 have done as thou
hast commanded me. Mightily have I struggled, thy wish to fulfill. See thou, I have
brought Greeks, and Abrahams, and workers of gold; verily have I striven to bring a
diverse class hereunto."
And the LORD spake unto Kliph, saying unto him, "Thou hast indeed fulfilled my
wishes. Oh Kliph; and I am mightily pleased with thy handiwork, although I see ill for
this one who smiths gold. Nevertheless, thou hast done a good job, and as reward
therefor, thou shalt henceforth be called Assistant Dean of Admissions, despite the
obvious anachronism. Know thou that I shall test these, my CHOSEN, mightily, lest
they fall from the ways of grace. Many hardships and tribulations shall they endure,
and often shall they be tested, yea, to start with shall they be tested after each Sabbath,
with rare exceptions. Great shall be the knowledge they will learn, and it won't be easy,
let me tell thee. And know thou that they shall be tested even after graduation, and
afflicted with insurance agents and other such foul creatures, yet insolong as they
follow my law, so long shall they prevail."
And the LORD began the testing of the CHOSEN. And the first plague that He sent
upon them was the fiend Anatomie. And yet the people prevailed against Anatomie,
stuffing their minds full of useless trivia; so much so, that the one called Abraham
became upset, shouting forth his wrath to the CHOSEN. Fortunately, they ignored
him. Others of the CHOSEN reacted to this volume of information more strangely;
some by embelishing class notes, others by publishing poor attempts at humorous
newspapers. And often did these attempts fail.
And during this time there rose up among the CHOSEN two great leaders, who were
called El-Alwa and Hojes, the one a binder of packages and the other a davis
respectively. And they took upon themselves the task of organizing a great celebration
for the CHOSEN, to commemorate the victory over the fiend Anatomie. And mightily
did the CHOSEN celebrate this victory, despite the bad music. And the LORD saw
these celebrations, and He chuckled, saying unto Kliph, "They still don't realize what
they've gotten themselves into, do they, Kliph?" And Kliph replied, "No, my LORD."
And yet, despite their ignoreince (or perhaps because of it), the CHOSEN prospered,
and continued to learn the arts of the healer, as the LORD wished. And as the LORD
had foreseen, he who smithed gold fared poorly, and was lost to the CHOSEN; and so
too were many others, who also fared poorly (though not as poorly as the smith).
46
And the CHOSEN continued in their struggle, and the LORD continued His testing
thereof. Truly did he test them, sending upon them the plague Biokemm. And yet even
this did the CHOSEN master, despite lectures on all variety of flora like mushrooms.
And in this time did the Levite, called Terry, set about the task of chronicling the
adventures of the CHOSEN.
And the LORD continued the testing of his PEOPLE, with the plagues Paath and
Phaarm and Peedee. And He sent upon the CHOSEN the monsters Djonsun, who
knew much of famous dead physicians, and Doam-a, who knew much of unknown dead
words. And when the CHOSEN had bested these trials, the LORD spoke unto them,
saying, "Verily dost thou, my CHOSEN, walk in the paths of righteousness, and follow
my teaching. And therefore shall I send thee my greatest trial".
And then began the year of greatest toil and labor and deliveries, called the Junior
Year for reasons now lost. And the CHOSEN were afflicted with the most horrible of
all the plagues wherewith the LORD tested them, which plague he called SKUTT. And
the LORD afflicted them with boils, and vesicles, and maculopapular eruptions, and
lumbago, and dropsy, cind consumption, and pleurisy; and He sent against them all
manner of vicious creatures; terns, and tigers of Elisu, and crabs, and red snappers,
and trolls, and Roaches, and sloths who operated terrible machines to carry people up
and down but would never stop for the CHOSEN, and verily even did the Lord send
chief residents to plague the PEOPLE, and the Big Beeper, and the Big sneeze, and the
Upper Motor Neurons, and even these the CHOSEN vanquished.
And at the end of the year, the LORD said
unto the CHOSEN, "Now mayest thou rest, for
truly hast thou struggled and overcome the Tri-als
1 have sent upon you. And now truly art thou
studs. Go forth, and celebrate this victory; make
merry, and frolick thou one year, because the
hard part comes next. For at the end of that
year, truly shalt thou enter into the very valley
of the shadow of Death; and as you know, val-leys
are between hills, and we all know what
rolls down hills".
And the CHOSEN did as the LORD com-manded,
celebrating for one year and sloughing
off their work, for truly were they Senior studs
now. And although they thought about the tribu- ^^
lations to come, they didn't think about them ? ^^mi^^^J^^ySS
too much, for why spoil a good time?
So endeth this reading from the chronicles of
the CHOSEN of 1985.

That into whatsoever home I shall
enter it shall be for the good of the

my power, and that I will hold
myself aloof from wrong and from

These things I do promise and in

radiology and in a host of other areas. We have been delighted to have

Tulane University and Louisiana State University, has made us a most dynamic
and growing force in pediatric care in the State of Louisiana and the entire
Gulf Coast dfea. We look forward to continued growth, and we are certain
that many of you will be a part of that growth. As your residencies and

We hope that you will be frequent visitors and learn of the resource of our
Children's Hospital in the New Orleans and Louisiana community.

We finally made it - we're doctors! 1
can hardly believe it; let's hope our pa-tients
do. For many of us, medical school
has been a "grab-bag" of various emo-tions
and feelings; from the ecstasy of
delivering new life into the world to the
tediousness of defining a rubriblast.
There were periods of great depression
to insurmountable gratification present
with all other feelings in between. It is
these emotions that the T-WAVE staff
has hoped to capture in this, the fourth
edition of the T-WAVE.
This book is the culmination of long
hours and good group effort. The sup-port
of our photography editor, Rob Lo-
Greco, throughout the past four years
has been invaluable and is truly appreciat-ed.
His artistic talent in photography is
present throughout the book. The articles
in the book, which I believe to be of
superior quality, are the brainchildren of
Peter Simoneaux. His unparalleled inge-nuity
and creativity were essential, if not
the highlight, of this book. Peter's unique
humor, known to us all, closed many gaps
in the book, giving the "written word" a
continuous flow from describing our ad-ventures
in medical school to making un-canny
interpretations of our photo-graphs.
Along this same vein, Mike Whis-tler's
brand of humor entered the pages
of this book in quite the same way. The
help of Dawn Gunter and Jacqueline De-
Cayette proved to be an invaluable tool in
the production of this book. The year-book
photographers do not escape credit
for without them, we would not have the
remarkable candids taken here. To all my
staff, I thank you.
Bill Hopkins, our publisher's liaison,
played an extremely integral part by pro-viding
moral support, leading numerous
"unscheduled" meetings and having the
answer to any question we could come up
with. Alan Dufour, our photographic de-veloper
cind printer, gave more than he
needed to in the form of many "rush
orders". The entire Rudolf Matas Library
staff was essential to the History section
and was just as enthusiastic about the
yearbook as we were. To these people, I
truly appreciate your help.
I hope that all of you enjoy the T-WAVE.
My request is that as our careers
progress, you open this book from time
to time and reminisce on the good times
and glean what you can from the bad. I
hope that the experiences we all have
had in Charity Hospital (The Big Free)
and in the school itself carry with you
throughout your careers. I pray that the
idealism regarding patient care and rap-port
that we all have hopefully developed
carry us on to be doctors not only in the
medical sense, but in the human sense as
well. I feel that the attitude of "living for
oneself" and the practice of medicine are
not compatible. We have chosen a pro-fession
dedicated to the service of man-kind
and all the ills it suffers, whether self-imposed
or by chance.
1 am regretful, yet honored, to dedi-cate
this edition of the T-WAVE to Chuck
Wilder. 1 hope that we remember him by
becoming the type of physician he would
have been; kind and compassionate.
Please enjoy this book and 1 wish all of
you the best luck in your medical careers.
