The school was established in 1834, as the Medical College of Louisiana, the second-oldest medical school in the Deep South. By 1847, the Medical College was part of the University of Louisiana, a public institution.  In 1884, Tulane became a private university when the public University of Louisiana was reorganized and named in honor of Paul Tulane, the benefactor who donated more than a million dollars to encourage intellectual, industrial and moral education. Tulane was shifted to its present campus on St. Charles Avenue in 1894.
