Description

This original letter was sent to my Great Grandmother who was one of the first female doctors in Illinois
Chicago Medical School was founded as a night school in 1912, The Chicago Hospital-College of Medicine. The nonprofit Chicago Medical School originally operated on the principle that admission should be based on merit alone. In particular, Chicago Med
admitted women and minority applicants decades earlier than most professionals schools
.
As the school's 1912-13 bulletin states...It is the firm belief of the Faculty of this school that there are deserving men and women, who, if given a second opportunity, will soon 'catch up' with and even surpass those students who have had earlier opportunities and advantages. It delivered quality medical education to a wide range of students.
In 1917, the Chicago Hospital College of Medicine absorbed the
Jenner Medical College
which had been in existence since 1893 and the name was changed officially to The Chicago Medical School
