Vanderbilt University's Medical Center was originally established as part of the University of Nashville in 1851 before it was incorporated into the Vanderbilt system in 1874. The School of Medicine was owned and operated as a private group until it was reorganized in 1895 through the Vanderbilt University Board of Trust, who raised admissions and academic standards. On September 16, 1925, the school relocated to a new facility on Vanderbilt's main campus, where the Medical Center North building sits today.
