CHARITY
HOSPITAL
A New Orleans Legend
Charity Hospital embraces an intrigu-ing
and colorful past, and has served a real
purpose. It is steeped in Louisiana history,
and has survived difficult times and some
of the worst political squabbles and pa-tronage
problems in the country, enduring
for over 250 years.
Its charter dates back to January 1736,
when Jean Louis, a French sailor, be-queathed
his estate to the founding and
furnishing of Charity Hospital in early
French colonial Louisiana. This makes it
the oldest continually operating hospital in
what is now United States territory. (Bel-levue
Hospital in New York City was es-tablished
two months after Charity.)
Within ten years, it became necessary to
build a new building to replace the over-crowded
original structure. The new hos-pital
was conveniently located between a
canal, for receiving patients and supplies,
and a cemetery, for dispatching the de-ceased.
In 1779 a great hurricane wreaked hav-oc
on New Orleans, reducing Charity to
ruins. But once again Charity rose from
the ashes, only to fall yet another time. In
1809, a kitchen fire quickly spread to the
wooden shingle roof and burned the entire
hospital to the ground. The indigent sick
were housed in the Cabildo until the hospi-tal
could be restored. Five years after the
fire, a new hospital was completed with
facilities "vast and commodious, capable
of caring for 120 patients."
A group of citizens visiting Charity in
1818 were horrified by the condition of
patients, and complained to the governor
and Hospital administration. They noted
the hospital's filthy condition and total in-adequacy
of attendants. New facilities
were again needed. In 1833, the fourth
version of Charity was completed at a cost
of $149,570. With the arrival of the
Daughters of Charity and the new Medical
College of Louisiana, the overall medical
atmosphere in New Orleans was excellent.
The entire medical complex was, at that
time, very likely one of the best of its kind
in the world.
Charity weathered the Civil War, and
prospered during the remainder of the
Eighteenth Century. By 1900, the hospital
probably contained almost 2,000 beds.
Other hospitals in the city had perhaps
only 150 beds combined, including the
larger ones such as Touro and Hotel Dieu
12 with 50 or 60 beds each.

1 835. The new Medical College of Louisiana (now
Tulane University School of Medicine) was housed in
the lower story.

Bottom: The population of New Orleans increased
almost 30-fold between 1832 and 1926, while Chari-ty's
bed capacity had less than doubled. It was during
that time that the hospital was forced to place two
patients to a bed, and sometimes even a third patient
on a lower mattress near the floor.

inaugurated in 1885. Charity interns would ride in
the ambulances as they responded to their calls, until
the practice was halted in the 1960's.

As World War I was coming to a close
in 1 9 1 8, a new war was just beginning, that
between the School of Medicine and Hos-pital
Administrators. The worst was yet to
come as Huey P. Long's administration
assumed power. After Long was elected in
1928, he immediately reorganized the
Board of Administrators and replaced the
Superintendent with Dr. Arthur Vidrine.
In 1930, Long abruptly dismissed Dr. Al-ton
Ochsner allegedly because of
Ochsner's complaints about political con-straints
placed on his attempts to build
a first-rate Surgery Department at Tu-lane.
This feud, along with the failure of
Tulane to award Long a law degree that he
desired, quite possibly played a role in the
establishment of the Louisiana State Uni-versity
Medical School at that time.
It had been clear for many years that
the Charity Hospital building, then 100
years old, again needed to be replaced.
Following Long's assassination in 1935,
federal funds became available to build
the current Charity Hospital, completed
on June 27, 1939.
After World War II, problems involving
interrelationships developed not only for
Charity, but also for the medical schools.
The Ochsner Clinic had emerged as a
large medical institution, employing many
of Tulane's faculty and developing its own
residency training programs. The Veterans
Administration Hospital also developed a
residency program that further competed
with Charity. With the rise of LSU Medi-cal
School, the old controversies between
Tulane and Charity were now simply ex-tended
to it as well.
In the late 1950's many sweeping
changes were considered for Charity and
its associated schools. In the 1960's the
ugly matter of segregation was faced and
the "colored" and "white" wards that were
on separate sides of the hospital were
eliminated.
By the late 1960's financial problems for
the Hospital and both schools were para-mount,
particularly as Tulane was increas-ing
its residency affiliations with hospitals
other than Charity. The tight money situa-tion
at Charity was having an adverse af-fect
on the "lifeblood" of the institution,
its intern and residency programs.
Woefully inadequate financing contin-ued
at Charity, however, and the hospital
lost its accreditation on several occasions
since 1975. This threatens not only Char-ity,
but both medical schools and the en-tire
medical education process.
While plans for problem solving are be-ing
developed, the question remains: "Is
Charity a 19th century anachronism, or
can it be properly funded and equipped to
provide excellent care and teaching oppor-tunities
as it has in the past?" Although
the future cannot be accurately predicted,
one can only hope that future administra-
14 tions will act favorably on initiatives to
improve the relatively poor state of affairs.

TULANE
MEDICAL
SCHOOL
The Tulane University School of Medicine
had its beginning as the Medical College of
Louisiana in September 1834, as three brash
young physicians, all less than 26 years of
age, initiated medical education in Louisiana.
Establishment of the school was met with
considerable opposition from the Creoles,
whose ideas concerning medical education
were based on the European system that
stressed academics well-grounded in the Lat-in
and Greek classics. Nonetheless, the Medi-cal
College opened its doors in January 1835.
In doing so, it became the first medical
school in the Deep South, and the fifteenth in
the country.
There were only eleven students in the first
class. Tuition, fees, room and board came to
a total of less than four hundred dollars a
year. The first few years were difficult ones.
Deans seemed to come and go every year and
there were many abrupt faculty changes, but
still the school survived. By 1843 there were
over one hundred students. Even then, diver-sity
characterized the student body. Mem-bers
of the class came from Alabama, Missis-sippi,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecti-cut,
and Louisiana.
Medical school in those early days was
much different that it is today. One needed at
attend only eight months of lectures to re-ceive
an M.D. degree. The school year was
four months long, with the second year being
identical to the first. The same seven coursed
were repeated over again. The curriculum
consisted of courses in Anatomy and Physiol-ogy,
Chemistry, Materia Medica, Principles
and Practice of Medicine, Surgery, and Ob-stetrics
and the Diseases of Women and Chil-dren.
Professors received no salary per se.
They were compensated instead by selling
tickets to their lectures to medical students.
The instruction in the early days was wholly
didactic. Practical teaching was given only in
Anatomy. The lectures were delivered to the
entire student body assembled in a large
room or amphitheater. Clinical subjects were
taught in the same manner. Indeed, the un-motivated
students would often graduate
without ever having attended a delivery,
without ever having observed an operation,
and often without ever having examined a
patient.

The Civil War brought to a halt all formal
medical training in 1862. The Medical Col-lege
of Louisiana was fortunate to find finan-cial
security. A wealthy New Orleans mer-chant,
Paul Tulane, bequeathed $1,250,000 to
provide for a new university. In 1884 the
various departments of the University of
Louisiana were placed under the jurisdiction
of the new institution, Tulane University.
In 1910, Abraham Flexner published his
report on the ranking and classification of
Medical schools, with Tulane ranked as one
of the top three Southern institutions. At that
time, Tulane's prominent faculty included
such physicians as Dr. Rudolph Matas, a vas-cular
surgeon, and Isadore Dyer, a well noted
dermatologist who was instrumental in the
development of the leprosarium in Carrville,
Louisiana.
In 1913 Tulane boasted a School of Phar-macy,
School of Dentistry, School of Medi-cine,
and Graduate School of Medicine.
(Only the latter two remain today). In 1958,
the School of Public Health was established.

The Tulane Medical Center was organized
in 1969 to broaden Tulane's commitment to
medical education, research, and patient
care. The Tulane Medical Center Hospital
and Clinic, the first such university hospital
in Louisiana, was dedicated in October 1976.
This 300-bed hospital has enabled Tulane to
consolidate a wide range of services in a terti-ary-
care environment. In the short time since
its opening, it has become a major referral
center for the region.
Since its founding 157 years ago as the
Medical College of Louisiana, the Tulane
University School of Medicine has under-gone
many changes, and not simply in name.
Several buildings have come and gone, and
while many different students and faculty
members have occupied these buildings, so
have federal troops during the Civil War.
Though Tulane originally catered to those
mainly from the South, it now attracts stu-dents
from all parts of the United States.
From its meager beginnings in 1834 with 11
students, the Tulane University School of
Medicine has gone on to confer over 12,000
medical degrees, 138 of which are to be con-ferred
on the Class of 1991. Paul Tulane
would certainly be proud of the many physi-cians
who have graduated from the university
bearing his name.

THE BIG 3
We want to bid a fond farewell to three men
who had a significant impact on our first year of
Medical School. Drs. Edward Peebles, Robert
Vaupel, and Leon Walker retired during our
tenure at Tulane. They spent a combined total
of 103 years teaching Anatomy. No longer will
students learn about fishing or the reason Life-savers
have holes from Dr. Walker; why we use
the term "Scaphalocephaly" instead of "Boath-ead"
from Dr. Peebles; or the ability to differen-tiate
the esophagus from the vagina from Dr.
Vaupel. The word "identify" will no longer ring
through room 7072. We will remember you al-ways.

There are 138 students in the graduating class of 1991. We represent 27 different
states and territories, plus 2 foreign countries. Though the greatest number of us
come from Louisiana, 75% of our class comes from outside the state, with 24% from
California followed by Florida with 9%. 23 members of the class obtained their
undergraduate degrees from Tulane (3 even went to LSU). The rest went to schools
varying from Ole Miss to Harvard, Johns Hopkins to UCLA, and many more in
between. In choosing a class, the administration wanted one that was representative
of all walks of life and cultures — this has been accomplished with the Class of 1991.

COttES TKE DAWN
After a while, you team the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
And company doesn't mean security,
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head and your eyes open,
With the grace of a woman or a man,
Not with the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all your roads
On today, because tomorrow's ground
Is too uncertain for plans, and futures have
A way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine
Burns if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden
And decorate your own soul
Instead of waiting
Tor someone to bring your /lowers.
And you team that you really can endure. .
.
That you really are strong
And that you really do have worth.
And you learn and learn. .
.
With every goodbye, you learn.

I won the wrestling match My first day of school. Trust in the Lord with all
thy heart and lean not on
your own understanding; in
all your ways acknowledge
Him, and He shall direct
your paths. Be not wise in
your own eyes; fear the Lord
and depart from evil. It will
be health to your flesh and
strength to your bones.
Proverbs 3: 5-8
Which way to the beach?
The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what
you'd drulher not.

Most of what I really need to know about how
to live and what to do and how to be, I learned
in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of
the graduate-school mountain, but there in the
sandpile at Sunday School. These are the
things I learned:
Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.

Live a balanced life—learn some and think some and
draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work
every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic,
hold hands, and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.

I was 18/ Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts/ Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and/ Solid everywhere
Like a rock
My hands were steady/ My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose/ My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly/ To what I felt was right
Like a rock
LIKE A ROCK
And I stood arrow straight/ unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud - I stood tall/ High above it all
I still believed in my dreams
20 years now/ where'd they go?/ 20 years/ I don't know
I sit and I wonder sometimes/ Where they've gone
And sometimes late at night/ When I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white/ And I recall, I recall
Like a rock
Like a rock
Like a rock
Like a rock
Standin' arrow straight
Chargin' from the gate
carryin' the weight
Like a rock - The sun upon my skin
Like a rock - Hard against the wind
Like a rock - I see myself again

Dr. Nichols
. . Diversity In Medicine
Dr. Ronald Lee Nichols serves as Henderson Professor, Vice-
Chairman of the Department of Surgery, and Associate Professor
of Microbiology. A graduate of the University of Illinois School
of Medicine, Dr. Nichols has become world-renowned for his
creation of the "Nichols Prep," used as antibiotic prophylaxis in
abdominal surgery. However, in recent years, he has become an
authority on medical-legal principles. Dr. Nichols' knowledge of
Microbiology, Surgery, and legal issues, puts him in great de-mand
as a lecturer nation-wide. His pleasant and entertaining
teaching skills have made him a favorite among students. As a
result, he has been the recipient of several Owl Club Awards.
This year, the Class of 1991 is fortunate enough to have Dr.
Nichols as our sponsor, the eighth time he has served a graduat-ing
class in this capacity. Dr. Nichols, we thank you for it all!
—The Class of 1991
Dr. Nichols prepares for his lecture on the inticacies of the legal profession.

School of Medicine.
Many of you have completed clinical rotations at Children's Hospital in pediatrics,
pediatric subspecialties, pediatric rehabilitative medicine, pediatric orthopaedics,
pediatric surgery, pediatric surgical subspecialties, pediatric radiology and in a
host of other areas. We have been delighted to have you be a part of Children's
Hospital and to see how a union of the Children's Hospital with the private
practicing community and its affiliate institutions, 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 area. 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 fellowships progress we hope that many of them
will be done in part here and that we will have the opportunity to watch you
grow professionally. 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.
Congratulations for much happiness and fulfillment in the future.
