School of Medicine - 676 W College Street
This three-story structure, completed in 1910, sits adjacent to and connects with St. Mary's Teaching Hospital. Several wings have been added, and the structure now sprawls over most of the block. It is a short walk to intern quarters on Pitman Street.
Over the years the School of Medicine and the hospital have intertwined; for instance, the head of the medical school now serves double-duty as chief administrator for St. Mary's Hospital.
Facilities include pharmacy and pathology labs, an extensive medical library, and modern dissection/autopsy labs. The Essex County Coroner and New Jerusalem's own Medical Examiner often make use of the autopsy room and morgue; they're the best this side of Boston.
Misfiled somewhere in the library are some early notes of student Hector North.
As most medical schools continue to be, the School of Medicine's philosophy of mental disorders is rigidly psychiatric and interested only in serious illnesses. Students train at the New Jerusalem Sanitarium.
Dr. Chester Armwright, Dean of the School: a graduate of Missituk University, 53 years old, he heard strange tales and dark rumors about Hector North in medical school. Armwright is an avid hunter and a member of the New Jerusalem Gun Club.
