Although Thomas Francis Harrington published a three-volume history of the Medical School in 1905, the dedication of the new buildings prompted the appearance of this shorter commemorative work, with a history of the individual departments and a description of the Longwood facility. Harold C. Ernst, the Professor of Bacteriology, edited the volume. One thousand copies were printed and distributed to the faculty, donors to the new campus, distinguished guests present at the dedication ceremonies, and prominent medical libraries and schools.
