The Legacy of Drexel University College of Medicine Alumni Association Educational Advancement at Hahnemann

Anatomy Lab

Through the Rufus B. Weaver Memorial Fund, the Alumni Association gifted Hahnemann’s New College Building with new laboratories for the Department of Anatomy. They fully furnished the laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment for students to gain new skills and enhance their studies. Included in this purchase was a delineascope, a sought-after piece of equipment that projected lantern slides on walls. This teaching aid was able to project images and texts from newspapers, magazines and books.
