History of the Stritch School of Medicine

Loyola University Chicago was founded in 1870 and moved from Chicago's west side to what is now the Lake Shore
Campus in 1909. Recognizing the need for a strong medical school, Loyola affiliated itself with Illinois Medical College in 1909
and with Bennet and Reliance Medical Colleges the following year. In 1915, the control of this loose organization was passed to
the University trustees and became die Loyola University School of Medicine.

A home for Loyola's medical school was chosen in 1917 with the purchase of the old Chicago College of Medicine and
Surgery building on South Wolcott Avenue across the street from Cook County Hospital. Loyola's efforts to improve its medical
school facilities were limited by a lack of funds until the 1940's when Samuel Cardinal Stritch lent his name to an annual fund
raising dinner that has become the main source of continuous financial support for the medical school. In his honor, Loyola
renamed its medical school the Stritch School of Medicine.

With new-found funds and Cardinal Stritch 's encouragement, Loyola began planning for the construction of a new medical
school building. Several sites were considered before the University decided on a site in Maywood just adjacent to the Hines
Veterans Administration Hospital. Official construction on Loyola University Medical Center was begun in 1965, and by 1969
the new medical school was in operation. In honor of a generous benefactor, the new teaching hospital was named Foster G.
McGaw Hospital of Loyola University.

As the demand for medical care has grown, Loyola has expanded to meet the need. The first patients walked through the
doors of the new Mulcahy Outpatient Center in 1981. In 1986 a new nine story building, the Russo Surgical Pavillion was added
to the medical center complex. In the same year, Loyola was designated as a Level I Trauma Center for the State of Illinois. Two
years later the Loyola Lifestar Helicopter Emergency Medical System was fully in operation. The state-of-the-art Emergency
Care Facility was completed in 1991.

The 125,000 square foot Cancer Center opened in September 1994 and was renamed the Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center
in 1996 in honor of the late Joseph Cardinal Bernardin who received his medical care at Loyola.

2 History

The Stritch School of Medicine proudly opened a brand new Medical Education building on August 1, 1997 and the new
inter for Health and Fitness in December 1997. The continuous growth and improvement of the Loyola University Medical
inter has resulted in the fulfillment of Samuel Cardinal Stritch's vision: the creation of a major medical center that is ever-
anging to better serve the needs of the community.

Dave Barry's Health
Care Reform Package:

Medical science should stop
coming out with new disor-
ders. We already have plenty
of disorders, say, carpal
tunnel syndrome, which
nobody ever heard of before
and which actually sounds
like a fish disease, but which
suddendly afflicts one out of
every six Americans.

What is to come we know not. But we know
That what has been was good...
Let the great winds their worst and wildest blow
Or the gold weather round us mellow slow;
We have fulfilled ourselves, and we can dare
And we can conquer, though we may not share
In the rich quiet of the afterglow
What is to come.

If you think you're beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but think you can't
it's almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost.
For out in the world we find,
success begins with a person's faith.
It's all in the state of mind.

Life's battles don't always go
to the stronger or faster hand.
They go to the one who trusts in God
and always thinks. "I Can."

May I be the doctor and the medicine
And may I be the nurse
For all the sick beings in the world
Until everyone is healed.

May a rain of food and drink descend

To clear away the pain of thirst and hunger

And during the aeon of famine

May I myself change into food and drink.

May I become an inexhaustible treasure
for those who are poor and destitute;
May I turn into all things they could need
And may these be placed close beside them.

The medical profession will be enriched by your
knowledge, compassion, and wonderful spirit. You
will definitely leave the world better than you found it.
Our love and support go to you and Jim as you com-
plete your training and begin your careers.

Congratulations P.J.

Remember when you

practiced all your medical

skills on Baby Beans, your

family, and the dog. Back

then your chlildhood

patients never complained

about the gritty candy pills,

cold stethoscope, and

overzealous injections.

Although it took a lot of hard work, dedication,

and courage through the years, your commitment

to loving and caring for others has made that little

girl playing doctor to her doll into today's reality.

May your life continue to be an incredible journey.

You have always been a blessing to us. May you
continue to share the blessings of your healing
hands and loving heart with others.

Love always.

SONNET NUMBER I
In the fall when the wind blows in the eve
Of a fading autumn day. I like to
Turn my thoughts to hopes, in throes are
deceived

Hopes shattered, hollow like an owl's
"WHO."

Life is a journey, at birth a mountain.
A mountain unclimbed defies the child's
faith

With a goal, the paramount to attain.
But who, in nature 's course, can defy
death ?

What is death, but the destroyer of faith.
Crushing the innocence of life unlived;
Life unmolded. new as the morning star;
Leaving dreams in the mind, there but a
mar.

I love life, and death will not be victor
O'er my faith, hopes, and dreams, a life
unlived.

Dear Jill,

As you graduate from medical school, join me in
remembering your words from your high school valedic-
torian speech:

"My fellow classmates, we leave here today to
challenge this world which we have opened for our-
selves. We are our own individuals, anxious to make
choices right for us. Doors are opening. We need to
take chances and make decisions. "

We all give you our love and support as you
move on to residency, where you will take up new
challenges and make more choices. We know that the
patients you care for will always be at the core of those
choices.

Love from us all,
Mom, Dad, Eric, Amy, Dan, Jordan and Schnapps

Take time to work, it is the price of success.

Take time to think, it is the source of power.

Take time to play, it is the secret to perpetual youth.

Take time to read, it is the foundation of wisdom.

Take time to be friendly, it is the road to happiness.

Take time to love and be loved, it is the privilege of God.

Take time to share, life is too short to be selfish.

Take time to laugh, laughter is the music of the soul.

Congratulations and may God be with you in your continuing

1998 Caduceus Staff

In your hands is the final product of hours with the computer and photo
cropper. We overcame hell, high water, (and gremlins who "deleted
one-third of the book from the hard drive two days before the deadline)
to bring you this 1998 Caduceus.

We wish to thank Phyllis and Toni in the Office of Campus Life for all
their help in making this book possible. A huge thank-you also goes
out to Mike Lambesis for being our advisor, soothing our panic, and
keeping us honest by screening all the photos and text for obscenities.
We couldn't have done this without you.

Finally, to our classmates: we hope you enjoy this volume of the Caduceus for many years to come.
Thank you for being our colleagues and friends-without you there would be no memories to fill these
pages. Be proud of all you have accomplished. We were guinea pigs for the very first "PBL", we got
half-naked in the hospital basement to change for anatomy, and we're old enough to know what an
"MDL" is. Despite being the class in limbo when we outgrew the old school and didn't quite fit in to
the new, we stuck together, got what we came here for, and maybe even learned some medicine along
the way. We hope you will remember your experiences here fondly.

Best of luck and many blessings:
