| Summary | "The History of the Medical Department of Transylvania University" by Robert Peter is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the establishment, development, and notable figures associated with the medical college at Transylvania University, which was a significant early institution for medical education in the American West. It highlights the contributions of various professors and the school's impact on the medical landscape during its operation. The opening of the text sets the stage by detailing the background of both the author and the Medical Department itself. It introduces Robert Peter, a prominent member of the faculty who penned the manuscript that his daughter, Johanna Peter, has prepared for publication. The narrative acknowledges the university's historical significance and the professors' roles in advancing medical practices and education, particularly as the first medical college established west of the Alleghenies. A direct emphasis is placed on the legacy of the university and its educators, reflecting on their influence and achievements while noting the challenges faced in preserving their history and contributions to the field of medicine.
