Excerpt from Catalogue of the Graduates and Officers of the Medical Department of the University of the City of New York: December, 1879 When the organization was formed, in the autumn of 1867, scarcely an effort had been made to secure and preserve records of the Alumni. Their names merely appeared on the books of the Council of the Uni versity, while another list had been destroyed by the fire which burned the College building in Fourteenth street. Even in the city and vicinity of New York, where are now known to reside nearly two hundred and fifty of the Alumni, no person could be found who knew the residences of any considerable number.
