Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia records

1856 - 1914 (bulk 1856 - 1914); .5 linear feet

Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania, known for most of its history as Hahnemann Medical College, was a premier medical college with a long and storied history. It was founded in 1848 by Drs. Constantine Hering, Jacob Jeanes, and Walter Williamson as an institution for standardizing the practice of Homeopathy. After a brief split in 1867 that resulted in two schools existing at the same time, the college was renamed Hahnemann Medical College in 1869. Hahnemann continued expanding through the early 20th century, and became a highly regarded medical school despite ceasing to teach homeopathy in 1959. The school became Hahnemann University in 1981, and in 1993, merged with the Medical College of Pennsylvania to become MCP Hahnemann School of Medicine. MCP Hahnemann School of Medicine ended its long history in 2002 when it was absorbed by Drexel University and renamed the Drexel University College of Medicine. The Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania records Collection is made up of financial and administrative records from the period of 1864 to 1915. This includes financial reports and documents, as well as material pertaining to the Board of Trustees ranging from 1864 to 1900. It also includes administrative records and financial materials from 1900 to 1915. These materials are by no means a full or exhaustive set of records for the college during this time range, and while focused in the time periods of 1865 -1890 and 190-1915, these periods are not fully covered and there are significant gaps. This collection would be extremely useful for anyone studying how medical schools were administered at the time, how medical schools operated financially, as well as what day to day academic life was like for students of medical schools at this time.

The North American Academy of the Homeopathic Healing Art, known as the Allentown Academy, was a short lived, yet influential homeopathic medical school in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Opened April 10, 1935 by several prominent homeopathic physicians, Allentown Academy was the first homeopathic medical school in the United States, and educated the first generation of American homeopaths that would go on to bring homeopathy to new heights in the country. Due to low enrollment and financial troubles, Allentown Academy was only open for six years, and closed in 1842 when one of its founders moved to Boston, Massachusetts. The Allentown Academy/North American Academy of Homeopathic Healing Art Collection contains material dating from 1834 to 1836 pertaining to the founding of Allentown Academy, as well as several reprinted copies of materials. These include stocks, drafts and the final copy of the academy’s constitution and bylaws, the academy’s act of incorporation by the Pennsylvania Senate, and a handwritten draft of Dr. Constantine Hering’s opening address.There is also the first volume of a work published in German by the academy titled Correspondenzblatt der Homöopathischen Aerzte, and it is available digitally here. This collection would be extremely useful for any researchers studying the founding of Allentown Academy or the history of homeopathy in the United States.

Box 1:Homeopathic Institute of Philadelphia, American Provers' Union, Hahnemann Society of Northampton, Philadelphia Postgraduate School of Homeopathics Mins. Box 2: Photocopy of Philadelphia Postgraduate school of Homeopathics, Minutes, 1890-1900. The Homeopathic Institute of Philadelphia appears to be the Philadelphia branch of the American Institute of Homeopathy.

The Philadelphia branch was founded two years later in 1846, however, the American Institute of Homeopathy was already largely centered in Philadelphia, and held its annual conventions in the city until 1847. The American Institute of Homeopathy still exists today [2020]. The American Prover’ Union was a homeopathic group founded by Dr. Constantine Hering and 10 other homeopathic physicians in 1853 at Dr. Hering’s home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the American Provers’ Union was to track global developments in homeopathic remedies, and to test the effects and outcomes of these remedies. The American Provers’ Union was largely inactive after 1859. The Hahnemann Society of Northampton, which was officially known as the Homeopathic Society of Northampton and Adjoining Counties, was an early American homeopathic society founded in 1834 founded by several early American homeopathic physicians in Northampton, Pennsylvania. The goal of the Hahnemann Society of Northampton was largely to teach, spread and popularize the practice of homeopathy, which was largely new and unknown in America at that time. The Philadelphia Postgraduate School of Homeopathics was a small homeopathic college in Philadelphia that was opened in 1890. The main administrator and dean of the school was Dr. James Tyler Kent, a prominent homeopathic physician who practiced in St. Louis, Missouri before relocating to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1888. The Philadelphia Postgraduate School of Homeopathics lasted only ten years and dissolved in 1900 after Dr. Kent resigned for a position in Chicago.
