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.

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 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.

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

    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.

Having occasion to make inquiries in regard to one of these organizations, he was surprised to learn that there was no general repository of facts in regard to them, that few of their members knew more than the names of those with which they had come into contact, and that the majority were ignorant alike, of the origin, principles, history, and customs of any of the fraternities, oftentimes their own included. This lack of knowledge has arisen not from the desire to know nothing of other organizations, nor from indifference to the affairs of their neighbors, but from the fact that information of this kind had never been brought together in a convenient shape. An endeavor has been made to make this book a vehicle of such information. In seeking material the author has in general met with the hearty co-operation of the fraternities themselves, and with few exceptions all facilities have been placed at his disposal. Nothing is here given to the public that an intelligent observer could not ascertain, and no attempt has been made to lay bare any of the so-called secrets of the college societies.

  • Biographical Notices of Graduates of Yale College

    BIOGRAPHICAL N OTICES OF GRADUATES OF Y ALE COLLEGE INCLUDING T HOSE GRADUATED IN CLASSES LATER THAN 1815, WHO ARE NOT COMMEMORATED IN THE ANNUAL OBITUARY RECORDS BY FRANKLIN B OWDITCH DEXTER, LITT.D. SAISSUED A SUPPLEMENT TO THE OBITUARY RECORD NEW HAVEN— 1913 PREFACE Biographical S ketches of the graduates of Yale College to 1815 have already been published, in six octavo volumes ; and when it became necessary to bring this series of Sketches to a close, the author was requested by the Cor poration of the University to compile a supplementary volume, of those deceased graduates of the College, of Classes later than 1815, who have not been included in the Obituary Records, published annually since 1860. fMany o the notices in the volume thus compiled have a certain sameness, as commemorating those who died too soon to have achieved much; while another considerable group consists of those who were early lost sight of, or whose distant residence has obscured their later history. The time which could be given to the task of compilation has limited the amount of research, but it is hoped that the results justify the design.
