OF THE
FACULTY OF MEDICINE
600 WEST 168TH STREET. NEW YORK 32. N. Y.
To the Class of '58:
The Faculty of the School of Public Health Administrative Medicine
extends congratulations and best wishes to this year's class. It is our hope
that the academic year will always be remembered as one which provided
for you a foundation of sufficient width and depth to sustain the years of
professional growth and development ahead which are yours to achieve on
your own initiative.
You have seen many changes in the School and have learned of many in the
community. These will not stop — they are necessary and inevitable. The
challenge to each of you is to determine how you can best participate and
what you can contribute in new experience, new knowledge and sound
thinking without at the same time sacrificing what has already been well
established.
You are leaving the School at a time when there are serious shortages of
key personnel — deficiencies which are highlighted by our expanding popu-
lation with their needs for health services which must somehow be met.
You are entering or returning to your professional fields at a time when
research in better ways of supplying health services is expanding, be-
coming more objective and based on more scientific methodology.
The acquisition of new scientific knowledge toward the betterment of
medical practice and the protection of health is proceeding along exciting
lines. As health officers, hospital administrators and other health workers
it is your privilege to encourage and make possible the application of such
knowledge to the maximum number of people. Your future work will not
be easy or monotonous — there is too much to be done — but we are
confident in you.
With best wishes from Columbia,
Ray E. Trussell, M.D., M.P.H.

FLYING FIELD TRIP
The pictures on the preceding pages show students and faculty
in settings associated with "the pursuit of knowledge". If we were
to convey an attitude that life at the School of Public Health and
Administrative Medicine is all work, however, we would be doing
a real disservice. Life at this school has presented many oppor-
tunities for social contacts and informal associations. The pictures
here have been chosen to give some idea of "the lighter side".
HISTORY OF THE
SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH
AND ADMINISTRATIVE MEDICINE
The first academic year of what was to be the School of Public
Health and Administrative Medicine was 1922-1923. It wasn't until
May 2, 1931 that the trustees of Columbia University officially estab-
lished the Institute of Public Health of the faculty of Medicine.
The University's first concept of a school of public health dates
from 1903, when tne faculty of medicine recommended that a Depart-
ment of Hygiene, Sanitary Science and Preventive Medicine be formed as
part of the College of Physicians and Surgeons. This did not come to
pass. The recommendations of special university committees in 1909
and again in 1915 that a School of Sanitary Science and Public Health
be established separate from the medical school did not quickly mate-
rialize either; a lack of funds was partly responsible.
Meanwhile the faculty of medicine was not inactive in the field.
In 1909 it sponsored a series of 25 public lectures on health matters on
which were received with popularity. In 1911 P. & S. initiated its first
regularly offered course in Public Health and Sanitation, which was
taught by Dr. Walter Bensel to fourth year medical students.
In 1918 funds necessary to establish the school were unexpectedly
provided through a bequest in the will of Joseph R. DeLamar.
Mr. DeLamar's gift to the University amounted to nearly five mil-
lion dollars. His will stipulated that the funds were to be used for study
and teaching in the prevention of disease and in the conservation of
health by proper diet. Mr. DeLamar also wished the results of such
study to be disseminated not only through scientific journals but also
through popular magazines and lectures.
Although the Institute of Public Health was founded in 1921, as an
integral part of the Faculty of Medicine but as a separate entity from the
medical school it was not until September 1922 that its first full-time
faculty member, Dr. Haven Emerson, was appointed. His title was Pro-
fessor of Public Health Administration.
40
In 1922-23, Dr. Emerson lectured at P. & S. on public health to
fourth year medical students and gave elective courses in preventive
medicine. He also taught preventable disease and public health adminis-
tration to graduate nurses at Teachers College and delivered twenty-two
public lectures on hygiene. At the end of the Institute's first year he
suggested that hospital administration and industrial hygiene be added
to the curriculum with the passage of time.
In 1926, the name of the school was changed to the DeLamar Insti-
tute of Public Health. Nineteen hundred twenty-seven saw the first
graduate with the first degree. Master of Science, awarded by the faculty.
The student was Marion McKinney. At this time, the school offered
twelve courses comprising epidemiology, public health administration,
public health engineering, and statistics.
In 1936 the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center deeded the
present site of the school to the city with the proviso that the City of
New York erect and maintain a building providing adequate space for
the needs of the school and a Department of Health Center. In August
1939, the Institute moved from the medical school to its own quarters
in the new building.
On July 1, 1945, the Trustees gave the Institute a new name:
School of Public Health, in recognition of the status it had achieved.
During the same year Dr. Claude W. Munger organized the school's first
formal course in hospital administration. Financial help for this major
undertaking came from the Kellogg Foundation.
In 1946 the Master of Public Health degree was added to the list
of customary M.S. degrees in specialties given by the School. At the same
time, the Doctor of Public Health degree was initiated for physicians
doing advanced work. The Ph.D. degree in parasitology was approved
starting in 1952.
In March 1950 the Trustees, recognizing the need of extending edu-
cation in the fields of administration in hospitals, prepayment medical
care, industrial medicine and medical schools, approved the establish-
ment of the Institute of Administrative Medicine. The Institute pros-
pered, with the result that the school's name was changed in July 1955
to the School of Public Health and Administrative Medicine.
