In November of 1896, the College of Physicians and Surgeons (P&S) was well settled on West 59th Street, between 9th and 10th (Amsterdam) Avenues, flush with new assets and 5 years into a long- sought affiliation with Columbia College.2 In the late 1880s, Vander- bilt family munificence had provided P&S with a new classrooms and laboratories building immediately east of the Vanderbilt Outpa- tient Clinic and the Sloane Maternity Hospital3. The faculty taught

and practiced at these two institutions in addition to attending pa- tients across 59th Street, at Roosevelt Hospital, which refused to have students on its wards.

In 1903, P&S added a penthouse pop-up on the 59th Street building to house a laboratory for experimental animal surgery and for gross and microscopic study of surgically resected human tis- sues. A young surgeon named William Cogswell Clarke (1872-1943) was put in charge of the laboratory in 1906 and promptly instituted a 2nd year course entitled “Introduction to Surgery.” It dealt with the healing of wounds and other basics, but Clarke’s primary goal was to inculcate the scientific method and guide students towards thinking for themselves instead of accepting the writings of others as gospel. Allen O. Whipple (1881-1963) was a student in that first class. Arthur Purdy Stout (1885-1967) was in the audience in its 5th iteration in 1910 and would then teach in the course in 1914.

Big things happened in 1910: Abraham Flexner’s study of Medical Education in the US and Canada urged medical schools to adopt the Johns Hopkins integrated-hospital model and admon- ished those that did not provide similar clinical access for their stu- dents.4 Philanthropist Edward Harkness met this need by bringing P&S students to the Presbyterian hospital and funding laboratories and classrooms for them at the Madison Avenue site. By the time Virginia began her college studies the Presbyterian Hospital had its own surgical pathology laboratory and P&S had two roof top labora- tories, one for experimental surgery and another devoted to study- ing surgical specimens where Clarke maintained his office.
