the faculty was reorganized and lectures were resumed 
in the same building. After a career of fifty-nine years 
the Missouri Medical College in 1899, in conjunction with 
the St. Louis Medical College, became the Medical De- 
partment of Washington University. 
In May, 1845, the faculty of the Medical Department 
of Kemper College started a journal called the ‘‘Mis- 
souri Medical and Surgical Journal,’’ but in September, 
1848, it was merged with the ‘‘St. Louis Medical and 
Surgical Journal.’’ 
Edward Wyman, who established an English and 
Classical High School in St. Louis in 1843, set about to 
orm a museum of natural history under the direction of 
Mr. J. P. Bates. In his ‘‘Thoughts About St. Louis’’ 
Hogan says: 
“For several years past Mr. Wyman has been collecting specimens 
ful preparation and arrangement of this beautiful cabinet. No pains, 
of these specimens. Thee are specimens from almost all lands, 
oe 
turned from Europe whither he went to collect rare specimens, and 
returned laden with spoils. The collections, especially in the depart- 
States, and I doubt if they can be found in private or public cabinets 
in this country. This whole Museum now embraces some two thou- 
sand and five hundred specimens, and there are many very choice ones 
brought by Mr. Bates from Europe in his last visit, not yet put up.” 
This museum, which was on the third floor of Wyman’s 
Hall, on Market street, opposite the Court House, was 
purchased in 1851 by Dr. Albert C. Koch and conducted 
for some years as the St. Louis Museum or Koch’s 
Museum.
