Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed chronicle of the Medical Department of Pennsylvania College from its foundation in 1839 to 1859. Operating under the authority of the Parent Institution, Pennsylvania College of Gettysburg, the book highlights how the Department faced many challenges, but was kept afloat through the sustained efforts of its faculty and the timely interventions of the Board of Trustees. These included the resignation of the entire faculty in 1843, and a series of faculty disputes in 1854. Despite these hurdles, it survived and thrived, boasting an impressive roster of faculty members like Samuel George Morton and Samuel McClellan.
