    John Morgan Society

    If you give for three consecutive years, you have the opportunity to join the John Morgan Society.

    Dr. John Morgan (1735-1789) was a member of the first graduating class of the College of Philadelphia (now the University of Pennsylvania). Upon completing his medical training in Europe, he appealed to the trustees of the college to establish our nation's first medical school, whose mission was to improve the standards of medical training in America. His petition was successful, and the school of medicine was established in 1765 with Dr. Morgan as Chair of Theory and Practice of Physic, the first medical professorship in the country.
