MEDICAL FACULTY.
The following table gives names, titles,
dates of appointment, &c., of the Instruc
tors in the Medical, Dental and Pharmaceu
tical Colleges, and in the order of appoint
ment. The names, titles, &c., of Instruc
tors in the Training School for Nurses
have already been given on page 72, and
of the personnel of the Hospital on pages
75 to 77.
The table has been made up from the
records of the Board of Trustees, Execu
tive Committee and Faculty. Unfortu
nately the Executive Committee record
1867-74 and the minutes of the Faculty
from February 27, 1878, to March 1,
1886, have not been found; which ex
plains the omission of some dates. The
list includes the names of a few who,
although appointed, did not serve.
The names of Dr. T. C. Smith and
Miss Ebersole have also been included,
although they were not appointed by the
Medical Faculty or University authorities.
Dr. Smith, as one of the three Hospital
Consultants for six years (Hood, J. T.
Johnson and Smith), and because of his
marked friendship to the Medical Depart
ment ; and Miss Ebersole as Superintend
ent of Nurses for the same period and es
pecially during the pupilage of the Nurses
of the Medical Department, both deserve
to be included, and as was said (page 45),
in regard to placing soap and candles in
a subsistence report, “ there is no other
place to put them” than here.
The letter M. prefixed to a date indi
cates that it is the date of a Medical
Announcement; U. C., the date of
a University Catalogue.
The letters
T. S. N. stand for Training School for
Nurses.
With rare exceptions the Executive
Committee approved the recommenda
tions of the Faculty, and the Trustees
those of the Committee. In a very few
cases the initiative was taken by the
Trustees or Committee ; in one of these
the Faculty protest was so prompt and em
phatic that the appointment was at once
revoked. Since the discontinuance of
regular salaries, in 1873, the selection of
instructors in the Medical Department
has been practically in the hands of the
Faculty, approval by the Committee and
Trustees merely perfunctory.
Following the table are the individual
sketches of the members of the Faculty
in the same order of appointment. Some
are very regrettably brief; in a few cases
little or no information has so far been
obtained. The subjects of study taught
by each individual appear in italics at
the beginning of his sketch.
