The UNC Medical School,
initiated as a red-headed step
child of the University, has
progressed rapidly since its
inception 89 years ago. It is
now one of the foremost
examples of quality education
on campus.
Initially, the Medical School
was independent of the
University. Classes were not
held on the campus and the
first dean, Dr. Thomas W.
Harris, received no salary from
the University. This was a
common practice at the time.
. The University approved the
Medical School in the fall of
1879. Dean Harris was the
entire faculty until the school
was closed for the next seven
years.
Four years elapsed before
the school reopened in 1890
under the new dean, Dr.
Richard Whitehead. The school
has operated continuously
since that time.
which became famous across
the U.S. as the "North Carolina
Plan" was instituted in 1916.
This program continues today
as an integral part of the
school's teaching program.
The decision
made to expand
was erected to house both the
medical school and the School
of Public Health.
In the 1940s, the school
became fully geared to the war

Complete Medical Aid
A number of sources of
medical aid are available to
students here.
A 65-bed infirmary, part of
the North Carolina Memorial
Hospital, admits any student,
following the direction of his
attending physician, and
services are rendered by the
staff there free of charge.
However, students are
required to pay for any
additional services such as
consultation, special nurses and
operations, which may be
recommended by the attending
physician and approved by
postgraduate training for
specialization in some area of
medicine.
The hospital complex
contains a psychiatric wing
with a capacity of 54
in-patients; the Gravely
students with 55 of those in
the Navy, 35 in the Army and
seven civilians. By 1945, the
waning years of the war,
enrollment reached 102.
In 1947, funds were
appropriated by the North
Carolina General Assembly to
expand the two-year school
into a full four-year program.
Three plans of study may be
followed in the medical school
here now. The most desirable is
the baccalaureate degree. The
others include the Bachelor of
Science in Medicine and the
three-year program of
academic work without a
bachelor's degree.
The curriculum provides for

Medical Facilities Are Continually Going Through Growth And Improvement
Public Health School Observes
28th Year Amid Further Growl
The UNC School of Public
Health will celebrate its 28th
anniversary amid further
growth this year. This School,
a member of the University
Graduate School, has an
interesting history which
reaches back before 1940.
Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, then
state health officer, realized in
the depression years of the
mid-1930's that adequate
health service for the state
could be realized only through
the training of workers.
During this period, short
training courses . in , public
administration were set up in
the Department -of - Political
Science at Chapel Hill. At a
later date, short courses in the
principles of environmental
control were established in the
Department of Sanitary and
Municipal Engineering.
Soon , after this, Dr.
Reynolds learned of the
intended retirement of Dr.
Milton J. Rosenau from
Harvard University. Dr. Charles
S. Mangum, dean of the
Medical School, then secured
Dr. Rosenau's services as head
and sole faculty member. The
Department of Sanitary and
Municipal Engineering was
placed in this new division and
Dr. Herman G. Baity became
the second faculty member.
Funds were secured for a
"Public Health and Medical
Building" throuph the efforts
of Dr. Baity and Dr. Rosenau,
with the assistance of Surgeon
General Thomas Parran. The
Medical School and its Division
of Public Health moved into
new quarters in 1939.
In 1940, the School of
Public Health which had four
departments (epidemiology, expanded into seven houses on
administration, parasitology, an adjoining street and
sanitary engineering) was
established. Dr. Rosenau was
appointed the first dean.
After Dr. Rosenau's death
in 1946, Dr. Baity became
acting dean.
From 1941, the growth of
the Public Health School was
phenomenal. In that year, a
Department of Public Health
Nursing was added. In 1942, a
Department of Public Health
Education, the first in a school
of public health, was instituted
into the school.
A .'Department of Nutrition
was added in 1946 and the
Department of Experimental
Medicine was added in 1947.
The ., Department of
Biostatistics and Department
of Field Training were added in
1948.
In 1950, the Department of
Maternal and Child Health and
in 1952, the Department of
Mental Health were
established.
The development of a
Continued Education Service
program was realized in 1962,
thus expanding the program to
reach as far as possible.
Population control was the
order of 1966. The Carolina
Population Center was set up
in that year to coordinate the
interests of the University in
population control.
In April, 1963, the School
had outgrown its facilities
which were spread over ten
areas on the University
campus. In that year, the
School moved into the new
Milton J. Rosenau Building.
Since that time, the school has
is in
dire need of doubling its space
at this time.
Dr. E.G. McGavran, who
was appointed dean in 1947,
guided the school through the
period of rapid growth until it
moved into the new home in
1963. At that time, Dr. W.
Fred Mayes was appointed as
the school's third dean.
From its inception as a
division in the Medical School,
the School of Public Health has
grown to be one of the
University's largest and most
unique facets.
At the turn of the century,

was moving at a brisk pace.
Some 20 to 30 students were
enrolled in the school at that
time.
When Dr. Issac Manning
joined the faculty in 1902, it
was decided to expand the
school into a degree-granting
institution. Dr. Manning was
on the faculty four years
before succeeding Dr.
Whitehead as dean. Dr.
Manning held the spot as dean
for 29 years.
From 1911 to 1952, the
school maintained its stature as
a two-year institution.
Students completing this
two-year program were
transferred to leading four-year
programs to complete their
programs.

addition of the Division of
Health Sciences has assumed
the role of leadership in the
Southern region since its

The first group of nursing
students were admitted to the
baccalaureate program in 1951.
Since that time, the school has
established a graduate program
and a continuing education
program.
Students now enter the
baccalaureate program either as
freshmen or as junior transfer
students. Or they may transfer
into the school from junior and
senior colleges or from any
branch of the University here.
Graduates of diploma and
associate degree nursing
programs are also admitted to
the baccalaureate program. For

Increasing attention is now
being given to the Nursing
graduate program.
Seven non-credit, short-term
courses with a total enrollment
of 608 were offered through
the continuing education
program during the past year.
The purpose of these courses is
to help nurses maintain a
continuing basis in their
profession.
The new building for the
School of Nursing, which this
year anticipates an
undergraduate enrollment of
278, is the Elizabeth Scott
