On this day in , the Massachusetts General Hospital admitted its first patient, a year-old sailor. More than a decade earlier, two Boston doctors had appealed to the city's "wealthiest and most influential citizens" to establish a general hospital.
The War of delayed the dream, but on July 4, , the cornerstone was finally laid. The original building, designed by Boston's leading architect Charles Bulfinch, is still in use. One of the world's great centers of medical research and treatment has grown up around it. The original domed operating amphitheater, where anesthesia was first publicly demonstrated in , is now a Registered National Historic Landmark.

The doctors involved in the project realized that having a hospital in Boston would improve the teaching of Harvard Medical School students. Up to that point, the training of men who called themselves doctors varied enormously, ranging from apprenticeship with another physician to self-instruction. Campus Alert. Returning to Campus.
