(Continued from'Pi Oa) thai the competition of a Bchool In a larger city with superior clinic fadll- LtleaJlada pronounced effect. The Omaha school jUBt referred to was organized in the fall of 1880 when, on September 7th, in the office of Doc tors Mercer and Denlse, Dr. Moore (now np omorituB professor in our college Dr. Livingston, and Dr. von Mansfelde (now at practlco at Ash land) met and talked over tho plan of a medical echol In Omaha. On the QHE-QfJacDtemticr was rormallyostabH Ushed the Nebraska School of Medi cine which held its course of lectures tx, Farnam and Eleventh streets, dur ing tho fall and winter of 1880-81. Dr. von ManBfoldo has summarized tho re sources of tho collego at that time as follows: A two-story- frame building known as the St. Joseph Hospital and a limited clinic, a faculty of nine and a student membership of 13, 11 men and 2 women. At that time "tho course included two years of flvo months each. During this year of 1880-81 tho name of the collego was changed to that of the Omaha Medical College which nrnft-WRB rot"nul throughout Its Rh- sequent history. This collego suffered the usual ups and downs to which private institutions are peculiarly bub-. ceptible but on tho whole made steady progress both in tho number and influence of its faculty, tho num ber and -character of Its Btudentp, tho resources At its command, and the character of Us curriculum. In tho year 1901-2, which waB the last year pf Independent existence, there wero tudentfl-enrolledi-tho-ontrnnco ro- qulrements being nominally three years of high school work. - From tho tlmo when -tha-ilrst Col lege of Medicine of tho University had ceased-to exist-there. hauUapparontly, been in tho mind 'til each buuuiuiulve Chancllor the desirability of again at tempting the re-establishment of tho colege, But tho lack of clinical facili ties in Lincoln interposed a serious obstacle. In 1883 Dr, Henry B. Ward came to tho University as Professor of Zoology and since at this time it was quit tho fashion for etato uni versities to establish preparatory medical courses ho was anxious that this should be done In tho University of Nebraska. Tho proposition was viewed favorably by Chancellor Can field and tho following year the writer, t: t K h N ,f: si fHf DEAN W. O. BRIDGES I Dean of College of Medicine at Omaha, Nebraska I I 111 Who had been recontly graduated from tho medical department of tho Univer sity of Michigan, was invited to como and assist him in the organization of this work. From tho first, this courso attracted ' A considerable numbor of- students' many of them vory ablo mon who roflected honor upon tho Univer sity at the eastern schools To which they wont after finishing tho courso hero and some of whom havo attained positions of eminonco in the profes sion. . , It was natural that as tho movoment toward higher staridardsln modloal- education began to tako form tnat members of tho faculty of tho Omaha Medical Collego should appreclato tho desirability of an affiliation with tho University by moans of which tho students in that collego might enjoy tho laboratory facilities afforded hero at Lincoln. ThUB overtures wero made which wore welcomed by both Dr. Ward and Chancellor Andrews. Negotiations which wero carried- on for several months finally culminated, in May 1902, in Blgnlng of articles of affiliation by tho terms of which tho Omaha 'Medical Collego became an af filiated college of tho University. By the terms of this affiliation it was agrcd that from tho beginning of the following year students might ho registered both at Lincoln and at Om- aha but that tho University should have the right to establish requiro monts for admission and pass upon candidates for graduation. It was also agreed that the Regonts should not bo financially responsible for tho management of the college in Omaha, but that in case they desired at any tlmn in tnknxnvor tho college and in- corporate It in the University they might havo tho privilege of so doing, tho compensation, to bo determined hy a board of appraisers. -Thus tho af- illlatlon, at, first was a looso. connec- tlou which left the Omaha iModlcal College practically an Independent in Btltutlon. However, as years passed tho con nection becamo gradually closer and closer. The- campaign for hlghor standards of medical education im posed constantly Increased demands upon the college. The University graddally raised tho requirement for admission from three years of high school work to four years and soon added to this tho additional require ments of academic work of colldge grade. The numbor of students was . i( rr N' p& '"r. &&& 'fc-.' '.. ,. '.tJfft" 3,yi S w Z?. -v BsioK reduced from 152 in id01-8'io67 In 1908-9. Moreover with tho year 1005-0 studbnts ceased-to be.,matr,lculated at Omaha In the first two yoarB of tho courso but woro all . matrlculatod in in Omaha was reduced to tho limitod membership of tho two hlghor claBseB. AIT oT This madoir diniculf for tho clinical faculty in Omaha to meot tho financial demands of tjio work thoro. Tho mombors of tho faculty responded generously by do nations and tho meeting of assosB- jnenta. Irom jysar laar. Rut. m thoBcrdomnnds-bccamo-more-and-mor-1 onorous it becamo necessary for tho Regonts to assist in meeting the ex penses of tho clinical work. Thus gradually what was a looso affiliation at first becamo bit by bit a cloBor union, until tho Omaha Modlcal Col lego was to all TntentB ahT purposes an integral part of tho University, though not until tho removal of tho yholo four years to Omaha brought the assumption of comploto control by tho Regents did tho individual mombors of tho faculty coaso to boar as indi viduals a Bharo of tho financial bur den. In tho summer of 1909 Dr. Ward was caiicd to tho University of-441Inolfl-Mullding and tho writer took his place at the head of tho school. In pursuance of plans formulated in meetings of tho faculty tho ontranco requirements, which included, in 1908"-9, four years of high school work plus 18 collego hours, wero increased to include 24 collego hours l"1909-10, 30 in 1910-11, 48 in 1911-12, and 60 in 1912-13. It 1b probi bio that this marks tho point at which these requirements wilt remain for some tlmj) to como. In Bplto of theso advancing requirements tho onroll mont of students remained about the same, tho figure varying from 70 to 70, and with stationary entrance re quirements tho number should now show a steady increase. From tho vory first years of tho af filiation difficulties had arisen un avoidable In connection with tho ad- ministration of a school divided bo- tween two cities as was this collego.
