The Yale University School of Medicine has required a thesis of its graduates for over 150 years. The Historical Library holds all of the medical theses from 1842 through 1900 and a handful of earlier theses such as the thesis illustrated above, which was written in English despite its Latin title. All medical theses are on Orbis, the Yale University Library catalog.
