HISTORY
Vanderbilt for this purpose
William Litterer, a Nashville capitalist, donated the former University of Nashville Medical Building to the University. This building contained a large assembly hall, classrooms, and laboratories for bacteriology and anatomy, which added greatly to the facilities of the school. At that time, the directors of the Galloway Memorial Hospital deeded to the University its unfinished hospital building, located adjacent to the Medical School, representing an expenditure of approximately $250,000.
By the action of the latter body, the university authorities were allowed to use the necessary amount of the original appropriations for the construction of a medical school and a hospital on the West Campus. From the original Carnegie gifts and the appropriations of the General Education Board and the Carnegie Corporation, an amount remains for the endowment of the School of Medicine and of the Vanderbilt University Hospital. The School of Medicine building is located on the southeast corner of the university campus.
The laboratories of the various departments of the School of Medicine are grouped around a court, which is open on the north side, towards the main part of the campus. The building on the west side of the courtyard contains the gross and microscopic anatomy, pathology and bacteriology laboratories. The laboratories in these buildings are specially arranged for the use of the clinical departments of the school.
The building for the nursing school is in line with the medical school building. The powerhouse is located on the west side of campus, facing Twenty-fourth Avenue. The medical school buildings contain all necessary departments, facilities and equipment to run a modern hospital and to teach all the subjects contained in the medical curriculum.
The entire hospital is operated by members of the teaching staff of the School of Medicine. The ambulatory service occupies the entire first floor of the southern part of the building. The surgical operating theaters are located above the central part of the medical school court, facing north.

Since admission to the Faculty of Medicine is competitive, students will be selected on the basis of the quality of their academic work and the candidate's general ability to study medicine. The number of students admitted to the first year of the IVledicin School is limited to fifty. At the end of the fourth year, any student who meets these requirements will be recommended for the Doctor of Medicine.
Founder's Medal-This medal is awarded to the student in the graduating class of each school of the University who has achieved the highest average standing in scholarship during the four years of study. The scholarships can be renewed for each of the four years of medical study. It is necessary that applications be submitted before March 10, and spaces for this purpose may be obtained by addressing the Registrar of the School of Medicine.
It is a beautiful building in the collegiate Gothic style designed primarily as a center for the social life of the University. The cooperation of every student is essential for the successful operation of the Honor System. The first series of Abraham Flexner Lectures was given in the fall of 1928, by Dr.
The lecture is held under the auspices of the faculty of the Faculty of Medicine. A distinguished lecturer is usually selected each year and the lecture is open to medical students, faculty and local members of the medical profession. These meetings are open to students of the school and the medical profession in the community.
The Medical School Library currently contains over 34,000 volumes and receives approximately 560 current medical periodicals. The library is responsible for trained librarians who assist readers in using the available material. First-year students are given, at the beginning of the first term, a short period of instruction in the use of a medical library.
INSTRUCTION AND DESCRIPTION OF COURSES
Each academic year, except for the first (semester), is divided into three terms of eleven weeks each. Since Tuesday and Thursday afternoons are generally free from compulsory work for all classes, except for the first year, students from different classes can work together in elective subjects. This feature of the curriculum eliminates to some extent the sharp distinction between classes.
Although there is no sharp demarcation in the curriculum between the laboratory and the clinical courses, the first year and the greater part of the second year are taken up in the study of the medical sciences, anatomy, biological chemistry, physiology, bacteriology, pathology . and pharmacology. During the third trimester of the second year, attention is strongly focused on technical training necessary for the study of patients, which begins in the hospital wards at the beginning of the third year, and the students are placed in groups at the different wards of the hospitals classified. . The fourth-year students are assigned to the different sections of the outpatient service.
Advanced students work even more independently under conditions more similar to those encountered in medical practice. During the fourth year, students are also given the opportunity to learn some of the simpler methods of the specialists. Throughout the second half of the course students are taught as much as possible by practical work, and every effort is made to develop sound and well-trained practitioners of medicine.
Finally, courses in preventive medicine are given during the fourth year with the aim of familiarizing the student with the more important aspects of disease prevention, public health and hygiene. 34; Preventive idea." The outpatient clinic is used to give the student a practical knowledge of the social aspects of disease, as well as the application of the principles of prevention in relation to medical practice. Candidates registered by the Committee on the University's graduate teaching for the master's degree or doctor of philosophy can pursue work in the medical sciences given in the medical school, either in regular courses or in special electives, provided such students are admitted by heads of departments offering courses.
Diploma work in medical sciences is regulated by the Commission for Postgraduate Education of the University, which supervises the work in all departments of the University. Candidates for graduate study should apply to the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and consult with the Chair of the Faculty of Medicine Committee on Graduate Instruction (for committee personnel, see page 45). POSTGRADUATE COURSES IN MEDICINE Postgraduate courses at the Faculty of Medicine are conducted under the direction of the Faculty Committee and the Director of Postgraduate Studies in cooperation with department heads.
