Medical School
In 1767 the Scottish anatomist and physician William Hunter FRS, built a large house at number 16 Great Windmill Street, demolishing an earlier large dwelling to do so. Hunter's house incorporated a large library, a museum and an anatomical theatre. Hunter gave lectures and anatomical demonstrations from the new house, the first taking place on 1 October 1776. After Hunter's death, the house continued to be used for medical demonstrations until 1831. The house now forms part of the dressing rooms and stage of the Lyric Theatre.

Famous quotes related to medical school:
“One fellow I was dating in medical school ... was a veterinarian and he wanted to get married. I said, but you’re going to be moving to Minneapolis, and he said, oh, you can quit and I’ll take care of you. I said, ‘Go.’”
—Sylvia Beckman (b. c. 1931)
“Often, we expect too much [from a nanny]. We want someone like ourselves—bright, witty, responsible, loving, imaginative, patient, well-mannered, and cheerful. Also, we want her to be smart, but not so smart that she’s going to get bored in two months and leave us to go to medical school.”
—Louise Lague (20th century)
