Historical Notes

The Medical College of Indiana was founded in 1869, as an outgrowth of the Indianapolis Academy of Medicine. By the college had become a department of Butler University and had a building on Butler's Irvington campus at the corner of Pennsylvania and Maryland streets. In 1905 the Medical College of Indiana merged with the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons of Indianapolis and the Fort Wayne College of Medicine to form the School of Medical of Purdue University.
