In September 1925 the first class of medical students was admitted
to the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. On
January 4, 1926 the Strong Memorial Hospital was officially opened.
The first patient was admitted the next day. On January 7th Dr.
John J. Morton, Jr., newly appointed Chief of Surgery, performed
the first operation. Ten days later the first baby was delivered.
From these small beginnings the University of Rochester Medical
Center had a steady and strong growth into the internationally
renowned center of teaching, research and patient care that it is
today. In recognition of its semicentennial the Medical Center con
ducted a series of events during the 1975 - 76 year in which medi
cal faculty and staff alumni, community physicians and distin
guished visitors participated. This symposium on "Frontiers of
Medicine" was a climactic event of the year's program. The twelve
outstanding physicians and scientists undertook to look forward, in
selected areas of biological science and medicine, to what promise
there may be for developments to come which will significantly
affect mankind's health and the quality of life. Four areas were
chosen for discussion to cover the span of human life and to
include aspects of it which are of vital in terest and in which
significant developments now seem to be prob able in the years
ahead. So far as possible the presentations sought to cover the
basic science, the clinical and the sociologic aspects of each
subject area."
