History
The early history of medical education in Hull and York goes back to the three following institutions: Hull Medical School (1831), York Medical Society(1832) and the York Medical School (1834). Notable doctors associated with the York school included John Hughlings Jackson, Daniel Hack Tuke, Thomas Laycock (physiologist), James Atkinson (surgeon), and Sir Jonathan Hutchinson. It is thought that the York school closed in about the 1860s. The medical school building at the University of York is named in the honour of John Hughlings Jackson.
The founding of a medical school as part of the University of Hull was considered in the Report of the Royal Commission on Medical Education 1965–68 (Todd Report) (published 1968), however the idea was thought not to be viable until the Humber Bridge was completed, as this would enable students to travel to attachments in South Lincolnshire.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“We have need of history in its entirety, not to fall back into it, but to see if we can escape from it.”
