History
The Ohio State University College of Medicine was founded in 1914, though its earliest history can be traced to 1834 and the founding of Willoughby Medical University of Lake Erie in that year. Willoughby moved to Columbus in 1847, becoming Willoughby Medical University of Columbus. The name soon changed to Starling Medical College when Lyne Starling made a large donation to the college in 1848. From 1848 to 1914 Starling was among four medical schools that operated jointly or separately in Columbus before the remaining college joined the University.
Columbus Children's Hospital (now Nationwide Children's Hospital) became affiliated with the College of Medicine in 1916. In the 1920s the University’s Board of Trustees identified the land along Neil Avenue, between 10th and 11th Avenues, as space dedicated for medical buildings to house research, education, and patient care in close proximity to each other. The College of Medicine continues to operate in this area in the 21st century while expanding throughout the city of Columbus.
Economic problems during the 1930s lead to the American Medical Association placing the College on probation. The reasons cited were too many students for the number of faculty, not enough patients for students to gain sufficient clinical experience, and weak or nonexistent medical departments. Funding from the Works Progress Administration in 1936 helped to improve facilities, but more state funding and higher student fees would be required.
Both World War I and World War II placed significant demands on the College of Medicine to train physicians, especially World War II. After World War II the College of Medicine had a major building boom. Between 1948 and 1970, with the leadership Dr. Charles Doan and Dr. Richard Meiling, the College of Medicine added ten buildings: Doan Hall, Upham Hall, Postle Hall, Means Hall, Fry Hall, Wiseman Hall, Dodd Hall, Newton Hall, McCambell Hall and Meiling Hall. These buildings added more hospital beds, administrative offices, and dedicated space for programs such as animal research, dentistry, nursing, optometry, psychiatry, and rehabilitation.
