History Timeline

1860

A charter is granted

On April 12, 1860, William Cullen Bryant, at the age of 66, along with a small cohort of some of New York City’s leading citizens, is granted a charter for a new medical college, “The Homeopathic Medical College of the State of New York in New York City.” The College was an outgrowth of the Hahnemann Academy of Medicine and the New York County Homeopathic Society of which Bryant had been the Society’s president in 1841.

1860

The first leaders

Jacob Beakley, A.M., M.D., serves as the first dean of the College, and New York Mayor (1858-1860) Daniel F. Tiemann becomes president of the Board. William Cullen Bryant himself begins a 10-year term as president of the Board two years later.

1860

The official start of class

59 students begin their studies with 8 faculty members on the upper three floors of 151 East 20th St (a few houses away from the home of the College’s first dean, Jacob Beakley, A.M., M.D.), at the corner of Third Ave in the Gramercy Park neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan. The only other medical schools in New York City at the time are University Medical College and the College of Physicians and Surgeons.

1863

A college for women

As New York State barred women as physicians in hospitals, a separate but related institution, known as the New York Medical College for Women, is founded by Clemence Sophia Lozier and staffed and supervised by the College’s male faculty. Maria C. Ewen serves as first president of the women’s college board.

1865

Future university president

Although a year shy of being eligible to receive the Doctor of Medicine degree, 20 year old Ira Remsen, Class of 1865, presents his final thesis to founding dean Jacob Beckley, M.D. and the rest of the Board. It was motioned that a degree be awarded to Remsen, but that “the diploma be withheld by the faculty until such time as he should attain proper [21 years of] age.” Ira Remsen goes on to attend the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and in 1876, he is appointed as one of Johns Hopkins University’s five original faculty members. Ira Remsen, M.D. is eventually appointed as the second president of Johns Hopkins University (Sept. 1901–Jan. 1913).

1884

First issue of the Chironian

Students of the College publish the first issue of the Chironian Journal (now the Chironian Magazine printed by the Office of Public Relations). It is named after Chiron, noblest of the centaurs of Greek mythology, who gave humans the knowledge of herbs and plants. He also raised Aesculapius and instructed him in the art of healing.

1888

First black male student graduates

Alonzo Potter Burgess Holley, a Haitian émigré and a graduate of the University of Cambridge, becomes the first black student to graduate from the College, later becoming the Haitian Consul to the Bahamas.

1890

First to open its own hospital

The Flower Free Surgical Hospital opens in Manhattan, making the College the first medical school in the United States to own a hospital. It is constructed at present-day York Ave (formerly known as Eastern Blvd) between 63rd and 64th streets with funds given largely by Congressman Roswell P. Flower, later governor of New York (1892-1894). This eventually serves as the model, a few years later, for other medical school-owned hospitals. In 1908, to highlight owning it’s own hospital “Flower Free Surgical Hospital,” the College changes its name a third time to “New York Homeopathic Medical College and Flower Hospital.”

1905

Affiliation with Metropolitan

An affiliation agreement is signed between the College and what later would be known as Metropolitan Hospital Center (MHC) (formerly known as Homeopathic Hospital, and latter as the Ward’s Island Hospital). The College becomes the first private medical school in the nation to train its students at an urban hospital. MHC is originally located on Ward’s Island in the middle of the East River (later known as Welfare Island, now known as Roosevelt Island). For over 75 years, the College’s medical students are ferried by boat to their clinical rotations at MHC to the island. MHC has been located in Manhattan as of 1957.

Copeland, M.D., an ophthalmologist, was the first physician to perform a corneal transplant in the U.S. He later served as the Commissioner of Health in New York City during the 1918-1919 Spanish influenza pandemic and ultimately served as a United States Senator from New York for three terms (1923-1938). Among other accomplishments, Copeland was the key sponsor of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, enacted by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on June 25, 1938, following a hard-fought five-year legislative battle, which paved the way for the strength and impact of the present-day Food and Drug Administration.

Women’s College absorbed

In 1917, a year before the U.S. national amendment, New York State grants women suffrage. The following year, in 1918, for the first time, women graduate physicians are accepted in New York City municipal hospitals as interns. Later that same year, the College’s Board of Trustees, in accord with the board president of the New York Medical College for Women, deems it feasible to close the women’s college and transfer the women students to the College at large (then, known as “New York Homeopathic Medical College and Flower Hospital”). Thus, making the College fully co-educational.

1935

Fifth Avenue Hospital

By 1935, the College transfers its outpatient activities from Flower Hospital on East 63rd St to the Fifth Avenue Hospital (itself the 1920 merger of the Hahnemann Hospital and Laura Franklin (Delano) Free Hospital for Children) located in a group of buildings on the block front on Fifth Ave between East 105th and East 106th streets in Manhattan. A year later, in 1936, the College drops ‘homeopathic’ from its name and changes its name for the fourth time to “New York Medical College and Flower Hospital” to better reflect its curriculum.

1938

A new complex

Flourishing in the midst of the U.S. Great Depression years, “New York Medical College and Flower Hospital” merges with “Fifth Avenue Hospital” and the institution adopts it’s fifth name: “New York Medical College, Flower and Fifth Avenue Hospitals” (NYMC-FFA). The College lays a cornerstone for a new 10-story building complex to replace the group of buildings on Fifth Ave between East 105th and East 106th streets across from Central Park.

1939
