First Edition "The History of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia is an integral part of the history of medicine in that city, and it has sometimes been a vital part of the national story as well. Its history is not, of course, the whole of either the national or local history. The College never sought a national role, and in its early years it shared authority and prestige with the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and the Pennsylvania Hospital. After the middle of the nineteenth century it was one of several institutions - medical schools, hospitals, the County Medical Society, for examples - that made Philadelphia a great medical center. Throughout the years, however, the College Fellows in general have been the best educated doctors, the most successful practitioners, and the most influential teachers, and many had national influence and reputation"[opening lines of the Preface].
