Excerpt from The Chicago Medical Examiner, 1860, Vol. 1: A Monthly Journal Devoted to the Educational, Scientific, and Practical Interests of the Medical Profession First, the very liberal offer of the Board of Trustees of the University, to furnish all the needed accommodations for a medical department, with no other restrictions than that the plan of instruction adopted should be such as would most effectually promote the educational interests of the profession without reference to established customs and usages.
