mains to be here tonight in the person
of the honored dean Of Meharry, Dr..
George W. Hubbard"
DR.. Hubbard received a warm well
come from the Meharryites- 1t was q
warmth that cheered DR.. Hubbard's
heart as he noted the strong feeling Of
appreciation for his efforts in behalf Of
the cause Of freedom, good will and
opportunity for our race as manifested
By men Of the race on this occasion
The sentiment Of every one Of the Ne
harry boys is. Long live George w.
Hubbard"
The venerable dean in his introduc-
tory remarks said: To the five Mehar-
" brothers-Hugh, Alexander, Samuel,
David and Jesse, who so generously
aided in establishing and supporting
this institution that bears their name
the colored people Of the south, and
especially the Alumni of Meharry, owe
a debt Of gratitude which can never
be repaid
'They have all passed from their Ia
Dor to their reward, but their works
do follow them.
During the winter OF 1856, while
I was attending lectures at the medical
department Of Nashville university and
the medical department OF Vanderbilt
university, Rev. John c. Braden. then
president of Central Tennessee col
lege, invited me to undertake the task
Of organizing a medical department for
that college
This was the first attempt made to
establish q medical school for the edu-
cation of colored physicians in the
southern states, only a few years be-
fore Howard university opened its
doors to all persons who were properly
prepared for the study Of medicine
without regard to sex or color. To
Rev. Samuel Meharry OF Lafayette,
Ind, belongs the credit Of giving the
first $500 toward the support Of this
work.
THE work was begun on the first
week Of October, 1876. The faculty
consisted Of DR.. J. Sneed and myself.
One room in the northeast corner Of
Tennessee han, which was destroyed
By IRE in December, 1908. was allotted
to "a for our work, and room in the
basement Of the building. was prepared
for practical demonstrations in anato-
my. The requirement for admission
was a fair knowledge Of the English
branches. Nine students were enrolled
during the first session, and ]. n. Jami-
son, who is still living and practieing
IN Topeka. Kan, and who had preVt-
Ously studied medicine, was the first
and only graduate Of 1871,
There were eighteen students en-
rolled the following year. and the
graduating exercises were held at
Thompson chapel on FEB. =. 1871, and
the address to the graduating class
was delivered by Bishop Gilbert Ia
ven. and John s. Bass, now pracdcng
medicine at lola. Kan; John @, half
acre and Lorenzo d. Key received
their diplomas, the Iatter two ana
successfully precticing their profession
