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, WilJard 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 erick 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, ac­ cepted professorships in the latter new institution.-Medical Register of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, r881, p. 205. 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 students and 47 graduates. The smallest graduating class being four, in 1856. Dur­ ing these thirty-seven years the degree of M.D. was conferred on 701 students. -Dr. Alfred Mercer. FACULTY OF MEDICINE, 1834-72 1834 *EDWARD CUTBUSH. 1839 Chern. and Pharm. and Dean.

Med. *The list of graduates of Geneva Medical College published in the edition of 1887 contained 695 names. Dr. Mercer (see Historical Sketch, College of Medicine) says that "during these thirty-seven years (1835-72) the degree of M.D., was conferred on 701 students." The follow­ ing list gives 721 names and follows in the main the General Catalogue of Hobart College. Rev. Dr. Hayes, of Phelps, N.Y., who did most of the work in preparing the General Catal'?jr~te referred to states that his list is compiled from the Records of the College, with· the Medical Register and the Syracuse Record (r887) at hand for reference, and that there are. many errors in the Record. We have given most weight to the Hobart Catalogue because it is nearest the sources, but have obtained by correspondence with the graduates many additional facts. Dr. Hayes has been very kind and obliging in furnishing 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 degrees as were conferred thus, and not in course. However, these were conferred on their recipients Pro merito and they are not to be ranked in any sense as inferior to the degrees in course. ALUMNI WITH RECORDS 1655 4961. ADDISON NILES 4962.
