Geneva Medical College* GENEVA MEDICAL COLLEGE* Geneva Medical College was chartered in 1834 and gave its first course of instruction in 1835. Its first faculty were Edward Cutbush, Willard Parker, Thomas Spencer, John George Morgan, Charles B. Coventry and Anson Colman. Its faculty at a later period, including several years, were James Hadley, John Delamater, Thomas Spencer, James Webster, Charles B. Cov­ entry, Frank H. Hamilton and Charles A. Lee. After the Buffalo Medical School was opened the Geneva faculty was re-organized, consisting at dif­ ferent times of the following members: John Towler, A. P. Bowen, Fred­ er.ick Hyde, William Sweetzer, Joel Hardy, Caleb Green, George Burr, James H. Jerome, Alfred Butler, Nelson Nivison, Hiram N. Eastman, Ezra T. Allen and Charles E. Ryder, some of whom continued in their places, laboring in the school until it closed in 1872. When the Geneva Medical School was merged into the Medical Department of Syracuse University, the following members of its faculty, Towler, Hyde, Nivison, Eastman and Ryder, accepted professorships in the latter new institution.-Medica/ Register of. New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, I88I, p. 205. (Seep. 77·) Geneva Medical College as such had an existence of thirty-seven years, from 1835 to 1872. The period of its greatest prosperity being from 1840 to 1850. The largest class being that of 1844, with 196 matriculating stud­ ents and 47 graduates. The smallest graduating class being four, in 1856. During these thirty-seven years the degree of M. D. was conferred on 701 students.-Dr. Alfred Jl.fercer. (Seep. 77).

The following list gives 721 names and follows in the main the General Catalogue of Ho­ bart College. Rev. Dr. Hayes, of Phelps, N.

We have given most weight to the Hobart Catalogue because it is nearest the sources, but have obtained by correspondence with t11e graduates many additional facts. Dr. Hayes has been very kind and obliging in furnish­ bog information. A more determined effort than we have been able to make would throw much more light on these records. We have added the abbreviation, hon. \honorary) for such P.egrees as were conferred thus, and not in course. However, these were conferred on their recipie,lts pro me'l'ito and they are not to be ranked in any sense as inferior to the degrees in course. 668 GENEVA MEDICAL COLLEGE 192r. ONESIMUS MEAD, hon.

    V hbl, stx R 747.C2932W3 First medical college in Vermont: 3 T153 DD515D13 3 £tf S THE HISTORY OF THE FIRST MEDICAL COLLEGE IN VERMONT OC Oss «M5 1$ 1> <3 THE-5IRST MEDICAL COLLEGE IN VERMONT Castleton 1818-1862 FREDERICK CLAYTON WAITE VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY MONTPELIER 1949 COPYRIGHT 1949 BY VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY VERMONT PRINTING COMPANY, BRATTLEBORO, VERMONT FOREWORD This volume realizes the long-time hope that a history of Castleton Medical College could be written by Dr. Waite, foremost authority on the early medical colleges and on many other subjects of medical his- tory. With his history of the medical college at Woodstock, Vermont, which the Society had the honor to publish in 1945, this completes the story of the medical colleges in Vermont which had a great influence on a national scale until the Civil War interrupted. The projected history of the Medical Department of the University of Vermont, by another author, when completed and published, should bring up to date the history of all medical educational institutions in Vermont. It is impossible to praise too highly the great devotion and research and effort freely contributed by Dr. Waite. Many years have passed since he first considered it, and was urged to complete it, at his own expense. The Rutland County Medical Society has given $100 and Mr. George Adam Ellis has given $1,000 to pay for some of the expenses of preparation and publication which could not be met by the Society or by Dr. Waite. There have been other contributions of money and time.

  • Young Strong Having Been One of February 5, 1801. February 2, 1843, and January 24
    THE BENCH A ND BA R 145 region his parents were pioneers. Young Strong came to this county in 1814 or 1815, and was an early teacher. About the same time he began reading law, and was admitted to practice in 1822. He became not only a prominent member of the county bar, but is remembered as having been one of the most eloquent orators of the region, and an extensive and successful practitioner, particularly in criminal cases. Judge Strong served as first judge of the Common Pleas by appointment, April 13, 1838, and as county judge by election in November, 1855, in all a period of nine years. He was district attorney of Tioga county from July, 1836, to July, 1838, and from February, 1844, to June, 1847. He represented the twenty-second district in the congress of 1845-47. Later he removed to Waterloo, N. Y., and there he died April 5, 1866. Alanson Munger, the last of the old Common Pleas judges in Tioga county, was born in Ludlow, Mass., February 5, 1801. He removed to Madison county, N. Y., in 1827, was graduated at Hamilton college, and thence came to Owego in 1840. He formed a law partnership with Stephen Strong, which continued two years, but aside from this partnership Judge Munger always prac ticed alone. He is remembered as a safe counsellor, a good trial lawyer, and a man of sterling integrity and worth. He was ap pointed first judge February 2, 1843, and surrogate January 24, 1844. He was elected district attorney in 1850, and special county judge in 1861.

  • The First Woman Doctor CHAPTER
    The First Woman Doctor The Story of Elizabeth Blackwell, M.D. By RACHEL BAKER Who ever heard of a woman doctor? It is 1847. People think Elizabeth Blackwell is either mad or wicked to dream of such a career. But what a dream this is! And no one can tear this extraordinary girl away from it. Crowds laugh and jeer at her. Women pull their skirts away when she passes. Mobs threaten her. No one will rent her a room in which to live. No medical school wants to admit her. But dauntless Elizabeth does become a doctor - the first woman doctor, and one of the great pioneers in medicine. How she does it is a truly thrilling story. CHAPTER ONE Three little girls in long, gray Quaker-like gowns, and white dimity bonnets, were walking with their governess and talking quite seriously. "When I grow up," said Anna, eldest of the Blackwell children, and always believed to be the cleverest, "I shall be a writer." Anna was just a little over ten, and for several years had been making up verses and songs. Marion, always dreamy, thought for a moment. "I think," she said, "that I'll just read." The governess smiled. "And ruin your eyes, I'll venture, Miss Marion! You wouldn't have half so many headaches if you didn't read so much!" But Elizabeth who was only six, and always tagging along with her two older sisters, came up rather breathlessly. "I don't know," she said, "what I'm going to be." She put out her lower lip thoughtfully, and as usual took time making up her mind.

  • Anthony and Andrew Westbrook: a Fascinating Narrative of Disunity
    Anthony and Andrew Westbrook: A Fascinating Narrative of Disunity Doug Massey With special thanks to Gavin K.

No part of this article may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying, recording, or by any information storage and retrieval system, without permission in writing from the author, Doug Massey. 1 Two Fires “I am going to set this house on fire”, the tall man said as the firewood he was carrying crashed down on the floorboards.1 “Boys, you have just fifteen minutes to plunder my premises; after that I give them to the flames”.2 What sounds like one instance of arson, is, in fact, two very separate occurrences: The first happened in the Minisink area of Orange County New York, and the second in Upper Canada, hundreds of kilometres away and some thirty-six years later. It gets stranger. Both arsonists were destroying their own property. And both were members of the Westbrook family. Father and son! On April 20, 1779, Anthony Westbrook set fire to the fortified house of Major Johannes Decker Jr., which housed his confiscated property. Branded a “traitor to his country” by both neighbours and kin in the area, Anthony now returned for revenge with the much- feared Joseph Brant. If Anthony Westbrook could not enjoy his furniture, then the hated rebels would certainly not either. On January 31/Feb. 1, 1814, son Andrew, equally a traitor in British eyes because he had taken up the American cause in the War of 1812, razed his own house, mill, barns and storage buildings in Delaware Township, Middlesex County.

SHAFER AND MY MOTHER LOUISE MeGINNIS SHAFn PREFACE DURING the years from 1783 to r8so, the medical pro­ fession was in transition from medieval customs to modern methods. The American medical profession shared in the problems of world medicine. At the same time, it faced the problems of a new and expanding country. This mono­ graph examines medical practices in America during these years and traces the history of the American medical pro­ fession. As such, it is concerned with the regular, or allo­ pathic, physician; other practitioners are discussed only inci­ dentally as they impinge upon the development of the regular profession. For the inception of this work and for scholarly guidance in much of it, I am deeply indebted to Dixon Ryan Fox, formerly Professor of History in Columbia University. After his departure to become president of Union College, Professor John A. Krout generously and helpfully gave his time and attention.

  • Medicine and Illness: Health Care in Geneva
    Medicine and Illness: Health Care in Geneva The development of health care in Geneva followed national trends and the growth of the village. In the 19th century, physicians made home visits but with few medicines at hand. Residents struggled with the mysteries of contagious diseases in the 19th and 20th centuries that brought fear and death. Geneva was unusual in having a medical college and, indeed, in graduating the first woman in America to earn a medical degree. Though Geneva lagged behind other communities in establishing a hospital, today there is access to state of the art health care. This 1798 illustration shows Geneva in its early years. The village center and many early streets were located on the hill above the lake. People believed the air was healthier than down by the lakeshore where residents often contracted “Genesee fever” which was malaria. In the 19th century medical colleges were centered in urban areas. An exception was Fairfield Medical College (1812-1840) in Herkimer County, New York. It awarded over 600 medical degrees and many of the first teachers at Geneva Medical College (right) had studied at Fairfield. Today the Finger Lakes Health System’s services include surgery, acute illness care, physical rehabilitation, and long-term care. Specialist practices include nephrology, podiatry, pediatrics, cardiology, orthopedics, and many more. I’ll Be There: Nursing Schools in Geneva From 1898-1934 the Geneva Hospital ran a training school for professional nurses. It addressed the need for trained nurses but ended when administrators thought it was too expensive. Two decades later the Geneva Adult Education Program and Geneva General Hospital began a practical nursing school.

  • Marie's Last Line
    MIKE HOOLBOOM Mourning Pictures Weightless pans lend the viewer the eyes of a body gripped by fever, as if these re-enactments were being watched over by ghosts. Nurses pad silently in white uniforms delivering milk and meals, while the patients wait, read, play checkers, stare out windows, never far from the crisp white linen of their beds. The mood throughout is haunting and elegiac; despite the utopian curatives of a new science, it is difficult to shake the feeling that the end of the world is not far. 279 The third act begins in darkness, with the voice of Marie, committed before adolescence to the sanitorium, recalling her experience from the far shore of the present. Family life appears in colour vignettes, posing for portraits, or gathered to eat before her brother sails off for war. Over her recollections the dominant formal trope is a virtuosic superimposition, moments of found footage erupting from prairie fields or the sanitorium; these places of waiting become a stage for reflection. Like the patients themselves, this is a landscape of ghosts longing for remembrance. For mourning. Marie's Last Line This moderate feeling has become familiar to me. It is now all I allow myself to experience, even in moments of great joy. After Brenda, Donigan Cumming Beyond the Absurd, Beyond Cruelty: Donigan Cumming’s Staged Realities Sally Berger Cruelty. Without an element of cruelty at the foundation of every spectacle, the theatre is not possible. In the state of degeneracy, in which we live, it is through the skin that metaphysics will be made to re-enter our minds.
