History Of Tulane Medical School
^^ff^ ulane Medical School had its auspicious beginning as the Medical College of Louisiana in
11 September 1834. Three brash young medical men, all less then 26 years of age, initiated the ^F I
J 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 Dr. Warren Stone Dr. John Harrison
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
incomprehensible. Furthermore, the Creoles 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 I $35, 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 borrowed 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 during the next several years, while the faculty
attempted to secure the necessary funds for construction of a permanent structure to house the fledgling
school.

In 1 836. the governor of the state attempted to help the medical faculty obtain funding for the erection of
a school building. A measure appropriating $60,000 for this purpose was proposed and passed by the
senate, but it was defeated by 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 conditions 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 parish would be admitted annually to the medical school for the next
ten years. The senator and representatives from each parish were to name each candidate. The state also
reserved the right to reclaim all properties at the end of the ten year period.
The fact that this new bill gave the faculty of the school professional privileges at Charity Hospital 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 the case, the medical community 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 gradually 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 country, having been
established in January 1736. almost 100 years prior to the founding of the Medical College of Louisiana.
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 hsopital was located on a sight that is now known as the French
Quarter and has since occupied four other buildings, including the present facility which was opened in
1 939. Throughout the early 1 800's. the hospital expanded, until, by the mid 1 850's. Charity was one of the
largest hospitals in the world. It had the capability of housing 1 ,000 patients, although some patients were
sleeping on pallets on the floor or sleeping two to a bed. At the present time the number of beds is given as
1 .640. However, the lack of nursing personnel has forced the closure of several wards, resulting in an actual
number somewhat below this figure.
Meanwhile, having obtained legislative approval for professional privileges at Charity Hospital, the
faculty immediately set about drawing up the plans for a building to house the medical school. This building
was estimated to cost $6,000 and was not completed until the end of 1843. In 1845. a Constitutional
Convention specified that the Medical College of Louisiana was to become the Medical Department of The
University of Louisiana. Two years later additional funds were appropriated to erect buildings for the new
university. The original building was returned to the state to be used by the newly established law
department. A much larger building was erected adjacent 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 total of eleven. From
1 834 to 1 859. the number of students grew from I I to 276. Just prior to the Civil War in 1 86 1 . the number
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, by 1 862. only 94 students were enrolled. Federal occupation of New Orleans
forced the closure of the medical school later that year.
N.'u, Orkoa* Cii.trily Hotpiul IS34 -I9}9
In the fall of 1865. the school reopened its doors with 185 students enrolled. However, because of the
devastation 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 1 884. when a wealthy New Orleans
merchant by the name of Paul Tulane bequeathed $1,250,000 for the establishment of a university. The
state legislature then placed all the departments of the University of Louisiana under the newly named
Tulane University of Louisiana. This donation enabled Tulane to once again assume front rank among
American medical schools.
By the early 1 890's. rapid growth of the medical school had established the need for new facilities. In
1893. a new building, the Richardson Memorial Building, 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 Josephine. This fund was used to construct a new Richardson Building on what was to become
the Uptown Campus. This building would now house all pre-clinical departments. Facilities of the old
Richardson Building were enlarged for clinical teaching purposes and the building was renamed the
Josephine Hutchinson Memorial.
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 lectures were
required for graduation. Since only one set of courses existed, the students 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. Additional fees included a matriculation fee of $5, and a
diploma fee of $30. Incidental expenses 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.
Josephine Hutchinson Memorial Building 1893-1930
Gradually, the annual sessions were lengthened from the original four months to four and one-half
months in 1 879. then to six months in 1 893. In later years, the length of these sessions was further extended
until it evolved into what it is today. It was also in 1 893 that an educational qualification for admission was
first required of all students. The minimum qualification for admission was a second grade teacher's
certificate of a superintendent of education. Also, to further strengthen educational standards, attendence
of three instead of two annual sessions was required. In 1 899. this was lengthened to four obligatory
sessions.
By the early I900's. it became apparent that a high degree of disparity existed between different medical
schools. In 1 908, Abraham Flexner was selected by the Carnegie Foundation to undertake an analysis of the
state of medical education. He made a study of 1 55 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 community such
that the Flexner Report was. in effect, an obituary for a great many medical colleges. Within a few years,
almost half of the colleges had disappeared, mostly due to the adverse publicity.
Although Flexner found medical education at Tulane far from ideal, he ranked Tulane among the top
three medical schools of the South. Tulane's high ranking was based on new and excellent laboratory
facilities, the teaching faculty, the clinical availability of Charity Hospital, and the post-graduate instruction
provided by the New Orleans Polyclinic.
Tulane University School of Medicine Class of 1910
In 1913. Tulane reorganized the medical 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 1 958. the division of hygiene and tropical medicine was
established, which has since evolved into the school of public health and tropical medicine.
The Josephine Memorial Building on Canal Street continued to house the clinical facilities of the medical
school for nearly forty years. However, by the late i920's, the building had become crowded and obsolete.
Funds were provided for a new medical unit to be built contiguous with Charity Hospital in what is now the
present location of the medical school. When the building opened in December 1930. it was acclaimed as
the best medical training unit it the South.
The preclinical departments, unfortunately, were still located on the Uptown Campus. Nonetheless, it was
acknowledged 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 Memorial Building enabled the second year departments to be moved
downtown. This left only the first year departments on the Uptown Campus. In 1 963. further additions to the
downtown facility were built to house the first year departments, finally allowing the medical school to
reunify its entire four classes in one building for the first time since the early I900's.

Tulane Medical Center - Opened 1976
In 1969, the Tulane Medical Center was established, an organizational structure which broadened
Tulane's commitments 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 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 referral center for the region.
Since its founding 1 52 years ago as The Medical College of Louisiana. Tulane has undergone many
changes, and not just in name. Several buildings have come and gone. While many different students and
faculty members have occupied these buildings, so have federal troops during the Civil War. Throughout
the years, however. Tulane has always strived to improve its standards of medical education such that it is
now ranked among the top medical schools in the country, and perhaps the world. Though Tulane originally
catered to students mainly from the South, it now attracts graduates from all parts of the United States. From
its meager beginnings in 1834 with I I students. The Tulane University School of Medicine has gone on to
confer a total of 12,581 medical degrees including those conferred on the graduates of the Class of 1986.

Its All Greek To Me
The staff of Aesculapius (Latin spelling) is pictured as a wooden staff with a single serpent
twining around it. Aesculepius (Creek spelling) was the Greek god of medicine, and was the
son of Apollo and the nymph Coronis. According to legend Coronis was killed for being
unfaithful, but Aesculapius was saved and raised by Chiron, the centaur, who taught Aescula-pius
the ways of the healing arts. Aesculapius married Eipone and had several children
including two daughters. Hygiea and Panaceia. and two sons. Machaon and Podaleirios. the
two sons being noted by Homer in the Iliad as physicians during the Trojan War. The remedies
practiced by Aesculapius varied from benign advise such as fasting to reduce fever, to more
violent therapies of bleeding, abstinence, and "friction". Many temples were built for Aescu-lapius,
the more famous ones being Cos. Cnidus, and Epidaurus, and it was common for
stricken individuals to actually sleep at the temples whereby the gods would visit them at
night and their dreams would be interpreted in the morning for clues toward the cure of their
ailment. One legend describes Aesculapius' death as a result of a thunderbolt hurled by Zeus
who was jealous of the healing skills possessed by Aesculapius as they threatened to make
men immortal and therefore equals to the gods. The tradition of Aesculapius was brought to
Rome around 293 B.C. in hopes that it would bring good luck and healing against a plague
that was at that time assalting the city.
The image of Aesculapius was always with a walking staff in hand, around which twined a
single serpent. The snake has historically represented wisdom, learning and fertility. It's
association with the healing arts may well come from it's long life, keen eyesight, and annual
renewal of skin. The staff and snake symbol eventually came to stand on it's own to represent
the pure, ethical, and non-commercial ideals of medicine. It is currently the symbol for the
Royal Medical Corps of Great Britain, the American Medical Association, and the Royal
Canadian Medical Corps.
The caduceus consists of a long, straight staff, topped by a pair of wings, and
around which two serpents are entwined. It's development into a symbol for
medicine is somewhat more obscure.
A look to Greek mythology reveals that the staff is associated with Hermes, the
wing-fooled messenger of the gods (Roman: Mercury), who carried the staff as a
symbol of peace. As legend goes the staff was originally given to Hermes by
Apollo as a reward for allowing Apollo to invent the lyre. The staff had the power
to unite all things divided by hate: when Hermes traveled to Arcadia he came upon
two serpents locked in combat at which lime he placed the staff between them and
observed the cessation of their fighting and a friendly entwining of both snakes
around the staff. The word caduceus roughly translates to "herald's wand " in
Greek. The wand was carried by heralds and town cryers. and served as both a
symbol of public office and as an emblem of peaceful and neutral gatherings. It
was first used as a medical symbol in the 16th century by Johann Froeben. a
publisher of medical books, who used to print the caduceus on his title pages.
Then a physician to Henry VIII began to use the emblem on his crest. In 1856 the
caduceus was associated with the "Hospital Stewards of the U.S. Army". In 1871
the U.S. Public Health Service began to use the symbol, and it was finally adopted
by the U.S. Army Medical Corps in 1910. One possible reason for the development
of the caduceus to represent medicine over the staff of Aesculapius is thai ll is a
more balanced and aesthetically pleasing symbol.

This gland is your gland, this gland is my gland
From the submandibular to the Langerhans islets
From parotid forests to seromucous waters
This gland was made for you and me
As I was reading my Leeson and Leeson
I finally realized there is no reason
For them to issue this endless tissue
This gland was made for you and me
As I was sitting there and taking the practical
I saw a structure that looked artifactuat
I said what is this, I wrote down isthmus
This gland was made for you and me
And then came glass slide. I got my ass fried
We got a thyroid with lots of colloid
I called it breast at rest and so I flunked the test
This gland was made for you and me
So now it's summer, it's such a bummer
Howship's lacunae are getting to me
If I had any sense I'd go to law school

Disease is of antiquity and
nothing about it changes. It is we
who change as we learn to rec-ognize
what was formerly imper-ceptible.

Kodachromes
They give us those* faded colors
They give us the green fibrocartilage
Makes you think all the world's a bunch of cells
Oh yeah
I got a Nikon microscope
I love to look at micrographs
So Vaupel don I take my kodachromes away
Vaupel don't take my kodachromes.
Vaupel don't take my kodachromes

Happiness on a rotation is directly proportional to the level
on which you park your car.
Neurologists are poor imitators of Sherlock Holmes; they
often solve the crime but rarely bring the criminal to justice.
In New Orleans, there are no traffic laws, just traffic sugges-tions.
During staff rounds, expect your patient to present with le-sions
incompatible with the ones already described to the staff.
If you don't cover your tail, someone else will have a good
time kicking it.
The mere threat of surgery, even without an incision, is often
therapeutic.
Thought apnea is the condition in which one cannot think
and breathe simultaneously.
There is no shame in being lost in Metairie or Gretna.

The Surgeon's Lament
Modified lyrics by
B. Cherry 6 L. Shack
Oh Lord, il's hard lo be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can'l wait to go in the OR.
Cause I get better and better each day
To know me is to love me
I must be one hell of a man
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
But I'm doing the best that I can
My head is so filled with knowledge
There's not one thing that I do not know
I might ask a student what he thinks
And then I tell him where to go
You'd think that I could mellow out some
But then it just wouldn't be me
I'm not happy unless I'm discussing
Some unheard of bizarre malady
Chorus
I go to the hospital each Saturday
If I feel like it I'll wear a tie
I make rounds with the residents
And tell them their patients will die
If brilliant suggestions aren't followed
Coming forth from my cranial vault
I've been here so long and I've never been wrong
Not one screw up was ever my fault
Chorus
Some people say I'm too macho
A surgeon alone tough and proud
Hell I could have friends if I wanted but
Then I wouldn't stand out from the crowd
They say I'm a bit egotistical
Well I don't even know what that means
But I think it has something to do with the number
Of beepers I wear on my jeans
Chorus
Some people talk of a statue
And others have mentioned a church
In my honor they'll build, sculpt, and chisel
And place it where no one need search
They'll coat every structure with teflon
To block stickage of small bird debris
I might be a little self centered
But I won't have anyone poop on me
Chorus
I drive around in a Mercedes
And I also got a Porsche and a Z
I keep the windows rolled down
So everybody can look in and see
The top of this beautiful body
Attached lo these marvelous hands
There's only one part of me that's more impressive
And that's my testosterone glands
Chorus
I'm not especially holy
But I try to attend church each week
So all those little people
At my greatness can gel just one peek
Now at church I serve one other function
And I do it just lo be nice
I stay one hour after the service
So God can ask me for advice
Oh. Lord it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to go in the OR.
Just to see who I'm cutting today
To know me is to adore me
I must be one hell of a man
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
But I'm doin' the best that I can.

Exposed?
Three reasons why most Louisiana physicians select Louisiana
Medical Mutual Insurance Company (LAMMICO) to be their
professional liability insurer.
One.
All of LAMMICO's functions are controlled by physicians,
which makes the Company especially responsive to the particular
needs of its policyholders.
Two.
LAMMICO is wholly owned by its physician policyholders, so
that any investment income and cost savings which accrue are used
to reduce premiums.
Three.
LAMMICO's financial profile is a sound one due to the Com-pany's
steadfast commitment to prudent business management.
Entering private practice for the first time?
A substantial premium discount may apply.

I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet so many
wonderful people during the last four years. I hope that we (the
yearbook staff) have been able to reflect why the Tulane class of 1986
is so special.
I hate good-byes hut in closing will, as usual, offer my "words of
wisdom ' - You can do anything you want if you just don't quit.
Best of luck always' I'll miss you.
Mary Ooswitz (1/149)
P. S Thank you mom. dad. Dr. Newman, and Dr. Huete for your
support - without it my participation would not have been possible!
As Advertising Editor. I would like to thank all the
generous companies and businesses who have adver-tised
with us, and give very special thanks to parents and
faculty sponsors, as without them this yearbook would
not be possible. I would also like to thank my husband
Bob (and Sammy, my dog!), for without them Nancy
Hunter M.D. would not have been possible. I love you!
Smiles
We came wearing smiles over feelings of excitement
and fear
We learned with an expression of seriousness, a
determination to succeed
We shared wearing smiles of joy as friendships
developed
We cried over our setbacks and fruslrationsi
because we put so much into our work and
lives, no smile could be mustered at these
times
We rejoiced our victories with laughter and
togetherness - a smile taken to its fullest
We cared for our patients with compassion and a
look of hope
We grew^ from it all we changed and developed toward
the fulfillment of a dream
We part with smiles of nostalgia, which in my case
cover tears of sadness as I bid farewell lo
those with whom I've shared so much
Please, my friends, go forth on your paths unmasked.
letting your own beauty shine through. and
see the whole world smile back at you
— David
Nancy
"I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it
will, I will go to it laughing. " (Melville)
Thanks to my parents for being the best, and thanks to
the class of '86 for being my friends. — Ellen
To the Class of 1986.
It has been a good four years. Together we have been introduced to
the science and the art of medicine. We have also grown lo know each
other better The tribulations of Gross, the stress and joy of our clinical
rotations, and the pleasure of our free time together have given us a
sense of unity. Four years is a long lime: yet now it seems so short as
we are about to leave medical school and establish ourselves as
interns. The purpose of the TWave '86 is to capture the moments thai
we have spent together in school as a class and in our leisure as a
family. If this book helps you remember how you matured and laughed
during your time here, then this book is a success.
In our small parts as layout editors, we have learned that putting out
a yearbook is not easy. It requires a great deal of hard work and
patience Everyone on the yearbook staff. DO.. Nancy. Ellen. Mary,
and Ted were simply awesome. We commend them for all the time and
effort they so freely gave We also commend the class for their help
with pictures and creative ideas. Together the class and the yearbook
staff have created a good product.
Well, we would like to close by wishing everyone the best as we all
scatter to where the future takes us. We would like to thank the entire
class for the privilege of working with you in school, being with you at
home, sharing with you in our limes of good and bad. and learning
from you as we always did —
Anthony and Auxford
Years from now we will all be looking back at this small book packed
with memories of special times in our lives. Few experiences can bring
people close like a freshman year of medical school. What rare memo-ries
germinated in the last four years. I'll remember best: crawfish boils,
Mardi Cras. Ftalloween costumes and Hawthorne Hall, levee sunsets.
Worlds Fairs, canoeing, camping, and Cadaver Ball, Cajun dancing,
gulf fishing. Charity Wards, but best of all. Kale.
I hope these pages wilt not only record events in pictures, but also
conjure many personal memories we each possess. Only during my
senior rotations away do I begin to appreciate the richness of our
Tulane experience. I have met people from all over the country and the
world. I see the varied learning opportunities we had only at Tulane
and the quality of the people in our class. A few of those who collected
these memories for this book and spent the long weekends and nights
putting them together will never really be thanked enough for their
grand effort. Most are mentioned on the front page of this book. I
thank you here for the dedication and energy pul into these pages.
Thanks also to Tulane for allowing use of the yearbook room, to our
advertisers, and to those departments and individuals who bought
yearbooks because of their interest in our class. As we now look
forward lo residencies I will share two of my favorite thoughts: "The
purpose of life is to serve, lo show compassion and a willingness to
help " (Schweitzer), and when things get lough think "Vini Vidi Vici"
(Julius Caesar).
