Matré, Ph.D., Records; Stritch School of Medicine collections; School of Dentistry collections. Administrative History Clinical teaching had proven to complicate partnerships between medical schools and major teaching hospitals when the hospitals were independent from the larger university. In Loyola’s case, the relationship between Loyola’s medical school and Mercy Hospital in the late-1950s. A medical center with a major hospital under Loyola’s direct authority would provide more academic and clinical stability for the medical school than an affiliation with a separate medical entity. Being outside of Loyola’s direct control or ownership, Mercy’s physicians retained control over hospital patient admissions and hesitated to hospitalize their patients in Loyola-affiliated hospitals. Without patients, the teaching hospital and medical school both suffered academically. The most direct solution to this instability was for Loyola University to establish its own teaching hospital. In June 1959, the partnership between Mercy Hospital and Loyola University was officially ended thus beginning the project of creating a new teaching hospital of their own.

While the text of that book has been abridged, updated and annotated for this article, an effort was made to preserve the character of the book. I. INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK This book is not truly a history of Loyola's law school. The real history of the school is the people-the women and men who, as students and faculty and graduates, give life to the law school community.
