First sentence: The history of The Medical College of Pennsylvania is the saga of dedicated pioneers and illustrious graduates.  Its growth from modest beginnings in two rented rooms on Arch Street, Philadelphia, in 1850 to a spacious $19 million medical center at 3300 Henry Avenue is a spectacular success story in the best American tradition-with one uniqueness, many of its
heroes are women!
