1.4 HISTORY
The Christian Medical College, Vellore and the
associated teaching hospitals were founded by Dr Ida
Sophia Scudder, the daughter of a medical missionary.
She was born in 1870 to a missionary couple working
in Tindivanam, sixty miles south of Chennai and later
went back to America to complete her education. In
1890, she returned to India to a end to her ailing
mother. On a single night during that visit, Ida was
approached by three men seeking her help for their
young wives in labour. As she could not offer help, and
as local customs did not permit a male doctor to a end
to them, young Ida was moved by the death of these
three young Indian women during childbirth. She saw
the suffering of women in India and realized the need
in India for women doctors to a end to women whose
traditions did not permit them to be treated by men.
She went to the United States of America and obtained

medical training, specializing in Obstetrics and
Gynaecology. In 1900, she started her work with one
room for inpatients in her father's bungalow. Patients
came in increasing numbers and the need for be er
facilities became obvious. She set about winning
support for her cause and in 1902 the Mary Taber
Schell Memorial Hospital was built to accommodate
40 patients. In 1924, the present town campus was
acquired and a 267 bed hospital was built.

1.5 EDUCATION
Medical Education
The Christian Medical College, Vellore, began a 100
years back in 1918, when Dr Scudder started training
women for the Licentiate Diploma (LMP). Her first
batch of medical students achieved a 100 percent pass
in the examinations. In 1942, the medical school was
raised to the status of a college and 25 students were
admi ed to the MBBS course.
The first men students were admi ed to the college in
1947. Permanent affiliation to the University of
Madras was obtained in 1950. From 1953 onwards 50

churches and missions throughout India make use of

these opportunities for training. This enables them to
make up-to-date health services available for people
in rural and semi-urban areas in different parts of the
country, through the hospitals under their auspices. It
is expected that those who receive training here will
keep the needs of the people of this country foremost
in their minds when they start their vocation. The
trainees are exposed to the most modern
developments in medical sciences and at the same
time equal emphasis is given to making trainees
service oriented, so that they identify themselves with
the communities they are called to serve.
Nursing Education
The year 1904 saw the beginnings of nursing
knowledge and personnel available for the whole education in the Christian Medical College, Vellore,

1.9 SPIRITUAL NURTURE

The institution believes that the quality of work is
derived from its dependence on God. Ministering to
the spiritual needs of the patients and the spiritual
nurture of staff and students are central to its entire
programme. The central location of the chapels, both
in the college and the hospital, reflect the centrality of
worship in the life of the community. Sunday
worship services in several Indian languages and in
English are conducted in the town campus chapel and
in English in various residential campuses. Staff and
student retreats led by eminent Christian thinkers are
an important feature of the spiritual nurture of the
community.
