Starling Medical College, named for Columbus benefactor Lyne Starling. Established in 1849, Starling Medical College/St. Francis Hospital was significant as it was the first institution in the United States, governed by a single board of trustees, designed to combine patient care and clinical teaching in the same building. The Sisters of the Poor of St. Francis served the hospital during its existence. Starling Medical College was the forerunner of The Ohio State University College of Medicine. The annual catalogue of the officers and students of Starling Medical College in Columbus Ohio for the session of 1850 51 has been received Quite a large class numbering 125 were in attendance The degree of doctor of medicine was conferred on 59 graduates The new college building has been completed and from the drawing of it on the cover of the catalogue we should think it quite classic and imposing proving an ornament to the city in which it is located.
