Geneva Medical College was founded on September 15, 1834, in Geneva, New York, as a separate department (college) of Geneva College, currently known as Hobart and William Smith Colleges. In 1871, the medical school was transferred to Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York.〔 In 1950, the university sold the college to the State University of New York (SUNY) for $1, where it remains today.〔 For many years the college was known as "SUNY Upstate Medical Center," until 1986, when the name was changed to "SUNY Health Science Center at Syracuse". The institution was renamed to SUNY Upstate Medical University in 1999. ==Founding== The medical school was founded in 1834 by Edward Cutbush MD, a prominent physician and naval surgeon, who also served as the first dean for the college and Professor of Chemistry.〔 He was an officer in the U.S. Navy for thirty years (from 1799 to 1829) and has been called the father of American naval medicine. In addition, Cutbush was the founder and first President of the Columbian Institute for the Promotion of Arts and Sciences in Washington in 1816. John Quincy Adams was President of the institute by 1825. Cutbush attended a dinner, hosted by the institute in early January 1825, where he spoke about science and discussed his hope for the future of education in the United States; "May the resources and prosperity of our country be increased by its application to agriculture, commerce, the arts, and manufactures."〔 The medical school opened its doors on February 10, 1835, and later that year the first six physicians graduated.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Geneva Medical College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
