history

Harvard Medical School was founded in 1782 by surgeon John Warren (1753-1815) on the Harvard campus. In 1906 the institution moved to Longwood . Your building complex there, clad in white marble, is known as the “Great White Quadrangle” or “HMS Quad” because of its square layout. The graduation ceremonies for doctors and health scientists take place on the meadow in between.
