( continued from page 17 ) by a January 26 , 1869 legislative act creating LMC . A high-quality faculty was
assembled , which included Drs . Henry M . Bullitt , Henry Miller ( formally a U of L School founder ), John Goodman , J . M . Holloway , J . A . Ireland , John A . Ouchterlony , and E . S . Galliard . The school opened September 1869 in the Old Law Building on the southwest corner of 5 th and Green ( Liberty ) Streets , with Dr . Bullitt as first Dean . Success was immediate , as students were drawn from all regions of the country , particularly the south and southwest . It had 225 students and 51 graduates in 1872-73 , and by 1875-76 its classes were the largest west of Philadelphia .
By that time , Louisville was unique in being both “ Confederate-friendly ” and thriving . Thus , the city provided a place of refuge and opportunity for ex-Confederate leaders and Southern youth seeking to develop careers in politics , business and medicine . LMC was particularly known for faculty drawn from the Confederacy , as exemplified by Dr . E . S . Gaillard , who was a LMC founder and editor of the widely read Richmond and Louisville Medical Journal . He became the colorful , combative spokesperson for LMC in the upcoming medical education wars .
